nestles in its arms Trinity church, a

Broadway runs to st. Paul's, where
there is another church and grave
yard. How fortunate" sigh the night
lifers. frequenters of another part of
Broadway, "that all of the churches
and dead ones are at the lower end"
Ignoring the remarks of the gay
tenderloiners Broadway dashes on up
town, past more Office buildings, now
not quite so tall, until Astor place is
reached, just above which, Grace
church is met. From a thoroughfare
of office buildings, Broadway has now
changed into q street of plain COM
mercial atmosphere 20 tell the truth,
however, Broadway has commercial
atmosphere for its entire length, al
though in the vicinity of Forty-second
street it is skilfully disguised as gay
ety."
When you begin to see the names of
thea trical booking agents, when the
cafes become more and more to the
block, and the loiterers on the corners
greater and greater in number, you
know you are then getting into the
famous white light" district.
There is not room enough on Broad
way for all of the theatres, restau-
rants, booking agencies, cafes and
gambling houses. Broadway has be-
come so crowded that it has spilled
over and the stream has seeped into
the side streets. But when the cham
pagne corks commence to pop and the
Holsters to turn red and the cash reg
listers to ring, then the side streets
give back TO Broadway part of what
they have taken, and the flow of hu-
manity, some in search of amusement
and some in search of suckers, in
search Of amusement, is steady-that
is, it is steady until about I a. M:
when usually it first commences to
display signs of unsteadiness.
Being gay along Broadway is
business. People who know just how
to be gay, and thereby infect others
with the brand of gayety that induces
them to spend their money, frequent
all of the cafes, restaurants and hotel
bars. At certain hotel, which has an
excellent reputation, and where many
out of town business men stay while
in the metropolis, collection of ex-

Washington, Feb. 4.-The White
House announced that because OF the
unprecedented demand for invitations
to the congressional and army and
navy receptions, February 10 and "a,
the lists for both have been closed

The Wilson state receptions have ex-

A MoOnshine Report

San Francisco, Feb. 4.-Father Ri
card and Forecaster Wilson must
look to their laurels, for third
prophet has come from Sacramento
with a third infallible method of pre-
dieting storms. Neither intricate in
struments showing the justly famed
sun spots, nor charts and telegraphic
weather reports are used by this lat
est savant, C. B. Aldrich OF the capitol
city.
All Aldrich does is recline in an
easy chair on the roof of his home
and consider the moon, its lights and
shades and spots. The wet weather
secrets of the future are unveiled to
him as he basks in the soft light of
the moon, showing him the storms a
months in advance.
''The moonshine method" said AL
drich, "is infallible. Father Ricard
and his sunspots, and Wilson with
his ancient beliefs, are doomed as
weather prophets.

Volcanic Action

Oroville, Cal, Feb. 4.-Once more
there are reports of rumblings of
weird and uncanny nature seeming to
come from the depths of the lava beds
in western Modoc county No one at
tempts to explain them except as the
result of volcanic action. People in
this country are of the opinion that
the volcanic action that created the
wilderness of lava was comparatively
recent and that not far under the
rough crust is volcano still being
pent up.
The disturbances are near Cinder
Cone, said by scientists to be the
youngest extinct volcano in North
America.

Salem, Ore, Feb. 4.-The state su-

New York, Feb. 3.-Broadway Is
one of the longest and most remark
able streets in the world. 1t starts at
Bowling Green, amidst towering of
fee buildings and meanders off into
the wilderness somewhere near 1onk-
ers.
Besides being noted for its night
life, Broadway has more skyscrapers
cafes, restaurants, actors, get-rlch-
quick men, panhandlers and automo-
biles to the mile than any other thor
oaghfare in America. 1t also is the
headquarters of the Forty-Second
Street Country Club, which meets ev-
cry mild and sunny afternoon at For
ty-second street and Broadway.
Broadway's principal industry is
raising poultry and raising coin. In
the latter art it has become quite pro-
ficient. Two classes of people fire.
ouent Broadway. They are New York
ers without money and out of town
ers with money and anxious to sepa-
rate from it. The New Workers with
out money have developed the art OF
appearing to have it to such a fine
point that it becomes science. The
art of removing superluous coin from
rhe persons of joy seeking s.fangefs
along Broadway may also De numbered
among the higher arts and sciences.
Although Broadway is haunted by
bandits masquerading as head wait
ers, cloak room boys, Southern colon
els, wealthy mine owners, "iust in
from the west" but who were never
further west than Hoboken; stock bro
kers, etc, it is usually safe to ven
ture upon the thoroughfare after dark
if one keeps ones senses.
Not all the dangers of Broadway
come from the presence of profes-
sional "Broadwayites." There is fe-
rocious person known as "taxichuff, !"
with whose cash acquiring instincts it
is best not to experiment.
If the 't'axichuff' had not had
taste for mechanics, he probably would
have become a headwaiter or cloak
room "boy" instead of mere driver
of taxicab, although it is very much
open to question as to which pays the
most.
At Bowling Green Broadway is the
very spirit of innocence. 1t runs past
Wall Street as if it were afraid of be-
coming contaminated. Too add 20 its
respectability at this point Broadway

When you advertise your wants in newspaper you
talk to one crowd.
If that newspaper is the Imperial Valley Press you
talk to the big crowd that has more people than
all the other crowds put together.
Some people Judge the value of advertisement by
the one copy they see but the careful business man
judges it's value by the thousands of others seeing it.
The Imperial Valley Press enters more homes in the
Imperial valley than all other Imperial valley papers
combined. That is why careful business men and

Building up banks of Alamo river
in advance of dredger Delta.
We have been badly handicapped on
this work for lack Of teams. We
have secured every available team in
Mexico and have wired City of Mex
leo for permission to bond in Ameri-
can teams and equipment. No an
swer has been received to our first
telegram and same was repeated, but
as yet no answer has come. We will
later have some SO teams released
from Order No. 8, but it has been
my intention to push this work as
rapidly as possible before the in
crease in the demand for water would
raise the Alamo to the point of flood
ing the low lands adjacent.
To date, we have completed one
mile of the five miles of the canal
measured west from the Cudahy
pump. This mile includes some of
the worst part of the five and the
remaining part will go much faster.
Two and one-half miles, approximate
ly, have been cleared ready for the
teams. We have eighty-two brush
cutters at work with necessary herd
ers; twenty-five teams are engaged
on the work. Should we receive
favorable answer from Mexico, to our
'elegram, we will Immediately swell
this force by at least twenty-five
teams.

February Activities.

February on the farm is a sea-
son-or should be-of preparation.
1t is the time to manure and ferti-
lie the garden. clear trash out of
the orchard. prune and spray fruit
trees; to look after the poultry
houses, fix fences, and investigate
the kitchen to see how many labor
saving devices are needed.
1t is the time also to buy and
test seeds. Every practical farmer
knows now that a good crop is
dependent on good seeds.
In this state hardy garden vege-
tables may be planted out of doors.
while other seeds should be started
in hotbeds or boxes.
There are some practical far
mers, among them women, who
have now a good winter garden.
This is possible almost every sea-
son in Louisiana, there being SO
few very cold winters. -Univer-

Good Roads.

1t is a great mistake to put off
working roads until August or
September, according to road ex-
perts of the L. S. Department of
Agriculture. The roads should
be worked when the soil is damp
so as to bake the soil when it dries
out. If the roads are worked
when they are DRY, it takes more
power to draw the machine and
besides dry earth and dust retain
moisture and quickly rut after
rains. The use of clods, sods,
weeds or vegetable matter in
building earth roads should be
avoided because they also retain
moisture.
If the working of the roads is
deferred until the latter part of
the summer when the surface is
baked dry and hard, they are not
only difficult to work, but the
work is unsatisfal tory when done.
Earth which is loose and dry will
remain dusty as long as the dry
weather lasts, and then turn to
mud as the rain begin. By using
the road machine in the spring
while the soil is soft and damp,
the surface is more easily shaped
and soon packs down into dry
hard crust which is less liable to
become dusty in summer and
muddy in winter.

"After a journey of up wards of two
wears. st. Denis reached Mobile, in the
month of August. We have seen that
he was sent in TIA into the internal
provinces of Spain, for the double pur-
poses of finding a vent for Crozat S
goods, and for checking the advances
of the Spaniards, who are preparing to
form settlements in the neighborhood
of Natchitoches. He had reached this
place with his Canadians and Indians
without accident. He employed them
in erecting few huts for some OF the
Canadians he was to leave there, and
having engaged some individuals of the
neighboring tribes to join the Natchi-
toches, he supplied them with few
implements of husbandry and useful
seeds"

The Inrerurban idea suggested
last week, has met with approval
in a great many quarters, and we
have been asked to keep agitatlnr
it until it is generally understood
and then there will he little doubt
but that it will get the co-opera-
ton of the people at both ends of
the line as well as the railroad and
will soon be forthcoming.
There can be no question but
that our citizens are now facing
the greatest epoch Of Progress IN
the history Of Natchitoches parish.
At no other time has there been
greater possibility Of development
thar now. But what will it avail
if we do have undeveloped lands
20 offer the class of PEOPLE who we
would like to have come make
their homes among US; the most
fertile lands on which any and
every kind of crop can be raised;
the best cattle and live stock in the
country; the greatest abundance
and variety of fruits and vegeta-
bles; undeveloped oil and gas; a
climate unexcelled; unusual educa-
tionaI advantages; purest of water;
healthiest community, etc, if our
facilities for reaching the outside
world ire not better than they are
at presents
An Interurban is the quickest
and cheapest solution Of the pre-
sent railroad problem, which is
the greatest problem that stands
in the way of certain developments
that are persistently knocking at
our door.

that continuation of party supre-

gress choked With hastily consid-

Natchitoch (Caddo form Nashitosh)
"A tribe of the Caddo Confederacy
which spoke dialect similar to that
of the Yatasi but different from that
of the Kadchadacho and its closely af-
fiiated tribes. Their villages were in
the neighborhood of the present city
of Natchitoches, near those of another
tribe called Doustioni. Whether the
army of De Soto encountered them is
unknown, but after La Sales tragic
death among the Hasinai, his compan-
ions traversed their country and Douay
speaks of them as a powerful ma
tion."
In 1890. Tonti reached them from the
Mississippi and made an alliance: and
in 1899 Iberville learned of them
through Taensa Iudian but did not
visit them in person. Next year, how
ever, he sent his brother, Bienville
across to them from the Taenea vii
llges. From that time and through
out the vicessitudes of the 18th
century, the tribe neveJ broke faith
with the French.
In 1705, they came to St. Denis, COM
mandant of the first French fort on
the Mississippi, and asked to be set
tied in same place where they might
obtBin provisions, as their corn had
been ruined. They were placed near
the Acolapissa and remained there I'M
til 1912, when st. Denis took them
back to their old country to assist him
in establishing new post as protec-
ton against Spanish encroachments,
and also in the hope of opening up COM
mercial relations.
This post, to which a garrison was
added in TIA, remained an important
center of trade and travel toward the
southwest for more than century
The Importance of this trading post
and fort and the friendliness of the
Natchitoch made the latter so conspi-
cious in the affairs of the time that
during the first half of the 18th century
Red River was known as the Natchi-
took, variant of Nashitosh or Match
itoch."
