LOREAUVILLE'S LOCAL PRO
GRESSIVE TICKET.

On March the 9th the Progress
sive Party at Loreauville held
their nominating convention for
the purpose Of selecting candl-
dates for Mayor and Aldermen OF
the Village Loreauville. The
attendance at the meeting was
said to be the largest ever held
at that place since the town was
incorporated. Hon. John D. Wa
let was selected chairman of the
meeting with Mr.. John D. Rose
as secretary. The indications are
that there will be no Democratic
ticket in the field to oppose the
gentlemen selected whom are as
follows.
For Mayor. John o. BONN; AL
dermen. Alfred Granger. ANTHONY
Girard. Gilbert Gonsoulin: Mar
shall. Lezaire Ransonnet: Members
of Executive Committee. DR.. f..
O. Darby. Fred Decourt and Lee
Cons oulin.
There is no RainsayinR the fact
that no matter on what ticket
these gentlemen would run the
people Of Loreauville would be
perfectly satisfied with the per-
sonel of the officers-elect, as they
are all gentlemen interested in the
welfare Of that thriving little Viii
lage. Loreauville is rapidly maxi
ing strides in a commercial way
and it would surprise many of our
citizens to see the amount of bust
ness done there by the merchants
almost every day Of the year.

SOUTHWESTERN REFLEC-
TIONS.

Last Summer a great confer
ence assembled at Crowley under
the auspicies of the Southwest
Louisiana Development Bureau tC
consider the question of drain
Age. 1t was largely attended ano
It's deliberations attracted much
attention throughout the State.
The problem of draining South
west Louisiana is a big one, but
it ought not to be considered
bigger than the people them
selves. The way by which men
have grown great is by mastering
the conditions which, undated,
keep the people in stIGjection to
the adverse forces Of nature. One
essential difference between the
savage and the enlightened man
is the inability of the savage to
rise above the limitations imposed
by nature, while genius breaks
the letters of primeval obstacles
and harnesses the forces of Ma
TUE to his triumphal chariot.
Now, trying to farm without
adequate drainage is on level with
the methods of the primitive man
who plowed with a forked stick
and rubbed two pieces of wood
together when he wanted fire to
cook his food with or to warm
himself. In the matter of drain
age, with a few pleasing excep-
tons, we have progressed but lit
tie further than did the Attkapas
Indians, who inhabited this corm-
try before our fathers drove them
out on the pretext Of a desire to
build up a better civilization.
Friends, what defense are we
going to make when we are sum-
noned before the bar of Eternal
Justice to answer for our dispos-
session and determination of the
peaceful, inoffensive savages,
when we are doing even worse
than they did in the treatment
of our natural resourcesg

LADEN WITH HEN
 FRUIT BREAK THROUGH ICE

Whitehorse Star, April 9th: Three White Pass sleighs laden with eggs and being hauled down the river enroute to the foot of Lake Le- Barge, broke through the ice last Friday near the mouth of the Tahkini river thirteen miles below Whitehorse. The team hauling the sleds, which were being trail ed did not get into the water.
 While nearly three hundred cases of the eggs were in the water for short time, only few dozen cases were broken. The others were rescued as speedily as possible and were brought back to White horse on Monday when Supt. Cash put force of "egg wipers" to work with the result that the most of the consignment will be little the worse for the accident, but the pro fit of transportation will be rude " shattered.
 The local freight shed now pres ents a scene worth witnessing something like 100000 of eggs ly- ing on canvas on the floor. The filters" are being dried and the eggs will be repacked. As the shipment was destined for Fair banks from Seattle, the eggs are in bond aud cannot be disposed Of locally. For this reason all damag- ed eggs, even those but slightly cracked, have been thrown into the river

EUGENIC BABIES OCCUPY

University Of Washington, April S--Cages which were occupied last year by the bloOded pups of locIi fraternities were turned over to the management of the eugenic baby show at the country fair" given by the WOman's league last 5atur- day.
 Chortling infants Of unusual size were surveyed by the crowd, which contributed more than $500 m profits 70 the league. Even the incubator baby filled siX-foCt case. A shaving mug was a prize for the best baby, adjudged by fac Ilty fathers. Perhaps need of the prize affected the judges, for some of the babies forgot to shave be- fore going on exhibition.
 The haby show was but one of tn burleque features. A scholarship fund for needy women students will absorb q part of the receipts from the fair.

WAS LURED BY
 GAY NIGHT LIFE

San Francisco, April 10-Love for the gay night life in a great city, and the consequent enstrange- ment from her husband and young son, are the reasons ascribed by the police for the suicide late yes,er- day afternoon in the Buckingham hotel in this city of Ms. Bessie Garfield.
 The police recovered and pieced together the torn parts of a special delivery letter the woman had re- ceiyed from her husband just before she ended her life, which sheds much light rpon the affair.
 In one part of the letter the husband stated that he had ask ed their young son wEy he did not write to his mother, and the little fellow replied: "Why. she has iorsaken me as well as ycu to live a wicked life in the cNtraY&gant city"
 The letter ended wi;h an appeat for Mrs. Garfield to leave the life of the cafes and the bright night lights and return to her husband and son.
