should break along the Mississippi.
For a while this spring the water in
the river was at record height. There
was never, however, any uneasiness in
regard to the flood situation here, as
the levees were absolutely safe here
and any break higher up would drain
into Lake Pontchartrain and out into
the Gulf of Mexico.
l had intended when I began, to
write something about the great
Mardi Gras Carnival, but this letter is
already too long so will not tire you
longer.
We expect to leave here q week from
today for st. Louis by boat. From
there we will 60 to Chicago for q few
days and we expect to arrive home
about Easter ready to go to work
again.
We have been receiving the Inde-
pendent regularly while here and it
was like letter from home. You need
not forward it any longer, as we will
have no settled address.

negroes were in the majority, it is a
common saying that "The white man
sold the negro in the lobby while later
the negro sold the white man in the
Legislature upstairs"
Napoleon's House was built by
friends of Emperor Napoleon, while
he was in exile on the Island of St
Helena, and plot was on foot to res
cue him from St. Helena and set uE
an empire for him in Louisiana. Be-
fore this plan could be put into effect
Napoleon died and only this house re-
mains to remind the descendants Of his
friends of what might have been.
Fronting on Jackson Square on the
left are St. Louis Cathedral, one OF
the oldest churches in America; The
Spanish government; The Presbytere
which was a sort Of monastery and
afterwards used as court house and
Jail. These two buildings now con.
tain the Louisiana State Museum and
they are well worth visit. The old
French Opera House also stands in
this part Of the city. 1t is not much
used except for Grand Opera and fo1
Carnival balls. It has large seating
capacity, but is far from being mod
ern and is fire trap.
Canal street is 176 feet wide and has
five street car tracks. Every street car
line in the city, with one exception
runs into Canal street. 1t is an ex-
tremely busy street and takes it's name
from the fact that it has a large
drainage canal down the center of it
This used to be open, but is now COW
cred and all street car tracks occupy
the part Of the street covering the
canal. There are several other streets
with the same arrangement.
The question of drainage is an i'm
portant one to the residents of this
city and district. The annual rainfall
is SO inches, practically five feet, and
as the city is below the level Of the
Mississippi river, all their drainage
as well as sewage has to be pumped.
The city is almost surrounded by
water, as it has the Mississippi river
on the east, south and west and Lake
Pontchartrain on the north. This lake
is great help in the question Of
drainage and would add greatly to the
safety of the city in case the levees

$500, 900 Worth of Horses for the War

B. W. Elder, who has bought 5000
head of horses in North Dakota and
eastern Montana for the war, is in
the city. Mr.. Elder has bought about
1000 head of bronchos and is doing
the state a positive service in giving
us chance to get rid of the smaller
horses that are not Of a great deal Of
use any longer. He has bought horses
for England, France, Italy and Swift
zerland. He will begin buying range
horses in June, when they are in bet
ter condition. The money spent for
the 5000 horses amounts to about
100000.

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM new ORLEANS
DR.. A. J. MCDANIEL TELLS OF
THE QUAINT OLD CITY WITH
MANY PLACES OF HISTORICAL
IMPORTANCE.
New Orleans, La, March 27.

New Orleans, La, March 27.
l have intended ever since coming
here to write you telling you some
thing of this city and the enjoyable
winter we have had in the "Sunny
South" However there have been so
many things to fill our time that I
have put it off until now.
l am busy every day from $3.50 a. m.
lectures and out door clinics. Charity
Hospital, where most of our work is
done, has room for one thousand pa
tents and as it is entirely free, every
patient can be used for teaching pur-
poses. For that reason there is an
abundance of clinical material. There
are also several other hospitals where
teaching is done.
Saturday afternoon and Sunday are
our days for sightseeing, and as the
weather has been fine we have made
good use Of them and have seen most
points Of interest in and near the city.
The city is we'll worth visit. Canal
street is the principal street and d.
vides the city into the downtown"
or French quarter, and "up-town," or
modern quarter. In the French quar-
ter most of the streets are very mar
row, many being only twenty feet
from curb to curb, and the side walks
only four or five feet wide. These
sidewalks are overhung by odd metal
balconies, such as you see in pictures
of Spanish and other European cities.
In this old section are the French
Market, St. Louis Hotel, Napoleon's
House, Jackson Square, St. Louis
Cathedral, The Spanish Cabildo, The
Presbytere and many other points of
interest.
At the French Market, which is
three or four blocks long, you can buy
anything in the shape of provisions.
Meats are some cheaper here than in
North Dakota, fish and oysters much
cheaper and better, vegetables are all
much cheaper with the exception of
potatoes; fruits are also cheaper, es-
pecially bananas. 1t is nothing to hear
the banana men shouting twenty-five
fine, fresh yellow banan for MCKEE"
In walking through the French mar
ket you could imagine yourself in
foreign land, as you hear more French,
Spanish and Italian than you do Eng
lish ..@. s.
The old St. Louis Hotel is being
torn down, which is pity, as it is
one of the landmarks Of the South.
It was four-story building and was
the stopping place of all the wealthy
planters on their visits to New Or
leans. In the lobby Of the hotel was
the slave market in ante-bellum days
and the platform on which they were
sold can still be seen. This hotel was
also the meeting place Of the legisla-
ture in reconstruction days and as the

A POPULAR AMENDMENT.

There has never been a more popu-
lar LnluatlVe measure suggested to
one voters OF the state than the one
which proposes an amendment to the
state constitution for the rearrange-
ment of our legislative representa-
ton SO that members of the lower
house will each be selected from
fixed district. The petitions for
this ntat1ve measure have been
sem forward to the secretary of state
and the amendment will appear on
the ballot in November.
The proposed amendment is not an
Innovation; it is in effect ian many
OF our states 1t is based on the
same principle and follows the same
rule that has been in effect since
the formation of our government in
the election of senators and repre-
senfatlves to our national congress.
Senators are elected from the states
at Large. representative from con-
gressional districts.
In this proposed amendment the
apportionment is so made, and it is
definitely stated that no county shall
have less representation in the state
Legislature than it has at present, but
it provides for an increase i'm the
representation when the population
OF the county justifies it, The con-
stitutiOnal provision now in effect
does not make any allowance for in
crease in representation with the
growth of population in this state
The proposed amendment gives each
county equitable representation and
provides system of home rule by
which every section of the state can
have its representation in the legis-
lature, so that each particular locality
Of 1900 voters shall have represen-
tative to look after it's interests.

THE SLANDERER.

Murder in the first degree several
tines magnified and intensified
that's slander.
The meaneSt devil on earth is the
slander devil, be he man or be she
woman. One who would attempt
to betray the reputation of another
in the hands and mouth of his fell
low sinners aligns himself with An
anias, Judas Iscariot and Satan him
self. No lower character, no more
contemplate, scurrilous, reprehensi-
Bile, mcorrigible cur walks the earth
than the murderer of ones good
name. No words are written, printed
or "cussed' that are strong enough
to characterize his diabolism.
The chief earmark of the slanderer
is his predisposition to the very
thing he accuses his victim of this
is practically the invarabIe rule. Be
the slanderer professional, official or
private in his life, he has somewhere

able existence the very skeleton that
he endeavors to fasten upon his
vdci1n. His mind runs that way
Things that appeal to him more than
anything else. His activities along
those channels seem more easy and
congenial; and if confederates in the
propagation Of poison are desired he
can find them among his former as
sociates in similar experiences.
There is nothing too mean for
slanderer to do. There are no words
too strong to use in describing him.
II murderer should hang seven feet,
the slanderer should drop seven HUN

the nearer to his father the Devil he

Bibles Have RIGHT of Way.

1t is somewhat curious fact that
the governments of all belligerents
have allowed the Bible society to ship
it's Bible to and fro
Since the war began the Bible So
ciety has supplied somewhere about
100000 Scriptures to fighting men,
prisoners, wounded, interned civilians,
and refugees, and during that time
the ordinary work has proceeded-the
latest ventures of the committee be-
ing the opening of depot in Abys-
siria and the fitting up of a floating
Bible house to serve the $4,000 miles
Of the great Amazon water system OF

the British and Foreign Bible society.

is one of the really bright spots in

and the news of it should gladden.

listed, and, all the depots in the cap
