1t was our pleasure on Thurs
day afternoon to accompany Mr..
>lexis VOORHEES, to the h"NNtonc
Locks which is situated half way
between New Iberia and st. Mar
tin.illc. The purpose Of tie
visit was to witness the a,Gount
OF .Itchafalaya river water that IS
ing over the dam Of the Locks
..i,o the Tcchc which flows
through to New Iberia. This water
flcm the Atchafalaya backs INTO
Il Courtablcau and then finds its
way into the Techc proper. In
'oo';ing at the tide waters in the
Bayou at this point, one would
never realize the quantity Of
fresh water that is now put INTO
:. It stream from the Atchafa|aya,
it is only by going to the Locks
and seeing for yourself that one
can form an idea Of the quantity
water that is passing over the
spill way. The sight is an inter
sting one, and well worth the
visit of any citizen at the present
time. while the water is Of suiii-
cient heighth to pass over the
dam. Once the Courtabcau is
connected with the Tcche we will
have a good stream of water at
our door at all seasons Of the
year which would also give rs as
GOOD drinking water and keep fine
Techc flushed ont, We were
pleased this week to see Senator
Broussard and Senator Ransdc',
bring the matter up before tie
Rivers and IIarbors Commission
at Washington, and sincerely
hope the wish Of the residents o.
the upper Tcche will soon be
realized. This would mean a
splendid stream IS far up as Mol
vile and New iberia being the
largest town should derive a great
deal of trade from it, particularly
our wholesale houses.
