right OF way OF the Inter coasta
Canal. They returned Tuesday
afternoon.
The Tip did not result in the
giving Of New Iberia's representa-
tives much encouragement for
their hopes of change of the
route for the canal, TO the advan
tage OF this city. 1t was explain
ed to them that should the canal

way would be necessary all the

sary through the section where
land is now high priced, for the
reason that should the Govern

the canal the aud along the canal
would become so high priced that
it would be a serious problem.
The only way to guard against
this possible contingency would
be to acquire the land for future
needs At the time of getting the
first right Of way.
ln all probability it would be
found necessary to construct a.
canal of water line 100 feet wide
from the start This would be
some cut for that section running
through 'he bayou ridge at or
near this point. It would be ex
peDsive to make snch a cut here.
This is one Of the principal rea
sons why the government eDgi
neers prefer to keep the canal 10
Gated in the coastal mar shes.
Another difficulty that would
confront the locating Of the canal
this way would be the bridges
that would have to be built for

steam railroads, the trolley line,

a considerable country district
When these city fathers found
they were facing another special
assessment, levied by the central
powers, they practiced the modern
policy of "lelting George do it,
they promptly made q special tax
levy upon the hill farmers of the
suburban districts. These bill
blllies seldom had much ready

so, when these special demands
for an extra special tax came.
something energetic had to be
done. Both parties to the deal
soon realized this.
The city fathers would send out

NO MORE PAPERS FREE

| Heretofore it has been the prac
ice Of The New Orleans wspa
pers to be very generous IN send
ing papers free to advertisers. ad
vertisiDg agents, public and chari
table institutions, officials and
others.
The present shortage of white
paper makes it almost impossible
for the publishers to secure sup
plies sufficient to take care of
their regular paid subscribers,
they are therefore compelled to
announce that they will cut off all
free copies of every kind after Au
gus, 10
Not only has the price Of white
paper advanced from 20 to 200
per cent, and more, bat the manu-
facturers are all urging publishers
everywhere to economist In every
way possible, as supplies are lin
tied and prices are certain to go
much higher. Many prominent
newspapers of this country are
now threatened with absolute ruin
because of their inability to buy
white paper at any price.
At a meeting held August |
publishers of all the daily papers
of New York and Brooklyn deter
mined TO reduce the size of all their
papers, to cut off all free copies,
and to take other drastic action to
cnrtail The consumption of white
paper. These publishers appeal

1t is very generally admitted by

rice Of white print paper will
ever again be so low as it was
