A PROMISING PROSPECT.
New Era of Prosperity For Donald
sonvilte Impending.

To the Members of the Chamber Oh
Commerce and Citizens of Dom
aldsonvile:
1t gives me pleasure to in1orm you
that [ am authorized by the Louisiana
State Rice Milling Company to an
nounce that through the efforts OF
the Chamber of Commerce their Don
jacksonville mill will open between
August and 5, and that If they are
successful in obtaining rice from
other parts Of the state and from Ar
kansas, the mill may operate for a
period of six months.
You have probably noticed that
among the bills passed by the recent
legislature, there was one which au-
thorizes the levee boards to issue
bonds of convenient denominations
for the purpose of placing a lock at
the head of Bayou Lafourche. One
of the chief obstacles to securing ia
vorable action by the levee boards is
thus removed and with continued and
determined effort on our part, | am
confident the dam which has throttled
Donaldsonville's prosperity so long
will be replaced by lock at no dis
tant day.
When you add to the above sub
stantial prospects, the concrete fact
of our splendid and growing fair,
taken together with the promising
crops throughout this section, there
is every reason to look forward with
hope and confidence to the quick re-
Mobilization of our city and return
of her ancient prosperity.
For my part | believe in Donald
sonville and her future. When all OF
her citizens come to believe likewise,
the day of her reawakening will be
FASTENED. Yours truly,
r. S. VICKERS,
Acting Secretary Chamber of
Commerce.

SCHOOL DISTRICT PLANNED.
Gonzales Citizens Consider PROPOSE
ton to Vote Special Tax.

A third meeting Of the patrons Of
the Gonzales High School was held in
the school auditorium last Saturday,
for the purpose of further discussing
the proposition to organize school
district in that section and vote spe-
cial tax to erect a building to accom-
modate the high school grades. There
were present more than 125 patrons
of the school, and much interest and
enthusiasm were manifested. State
Superintendent T. H. Harris gave one
of his usual excellent talks, dealing
mainly with the necessity Of higi,
school education for every boy aud
girl, and clearly demonstrating that
tax voted for a school building is not
in full meaning a tax, but an invest
ment.
Supt. Harris was followed by C. C.
Weber, who thoroughly explained the
proposition under discussion, and
showed that a one-mill tax levied for
a certain period of years would pro-
vide sufficient funds to erect build
ing costing SIS, 1000.
Parish Superintendent H. P. Brous-
sard also addressed the meeting and
added his Endorsement to the project
to issue a series of bonds for the pur-
pose of improving the facilities of the
school.
Another meeting will be held at the |
st. Amant schoolhouse today, for the
purpose OF continuing the discussion. |

GENERAL ASSEMBLY ADJoURNs

The biennial session of the Louisi-
ana general assembly ended on Thurs
day, and taken altogether the work
accomplished during the sixty days
has been creditable and satisfactory.
Both houses cleared their calendars,
making an excellent record for indus
try and assiduous attention to bust
ness, and with very few exceptions
the proceedings were characterized
by commendable degree of harmony,
dignity and absence of partisan
rancor.
The Progressives in both senate and
house carried out the assurance given
by their leaders at the outset of the
session that they would not pursue d.
latory or obstructive tactics, but
would give their support to all adj
ministration measures calculated to
improve governmental methods and
benefit the people. All the admin
istration bills were passed, most of
them without serious opposition.
Sixty-eight new acts of the general
assembly had been passed and re-
ceived the approval of Coy. Pleasant
up to the close OF last week, and
about 200 more will be added to the
list as the result Of this weeks legis-
lation In The Chiefs issue of last
Saturday the numbers and titles Of
thirty-four of the new acts were pub
lished. Today we print the numbers
anu titles of an additional thirty -four,
ana we expect to present in next
weeks Chef a similar list of the re-
naming measures given the force Of
law by the general assembly of 1916
and the governor of the state.

| 'ii lSiCi CiicS 10 the PARTIAL re-
peal OF the compulsory cattle-dipping
ordinance it may be said that physi-
cal conditions then existing made it
practically impossible for many stock
owners OF the section involved TO COM
ply with the terms of the measure.
and 1t was only reasonable and just
tnat their protest should be needed
and the enforcement of the ordinance
suspended until such time as facili-
ties for carrying it into effect are
available. We are free to confess
that the language of the demand for
the repeal may have seemed in some
particulars more peremptory and ar
oltrary than was becoming or neces-
sary, but that doesn't alter the eal,i-
Ties OF the case, and we venture to
predict that there viii be no need
TO call out the militia to induce the
of the seventh and eighth |
wards TO conform to the requirements |
Of the statewide dipping law enacted
Dy the general assembly at the ses-
'lon just closed. The intelligence of
these people will make it easy to
them of the great benefits
o be derived from the eradication of
ne cattle tick, and when the means
or complying with the law are with
n their reach, it is safe to assume that
ew, II any, backhaulers or dipping
odgers will be found among them.
In the matter of political honesty
nd independence of thought and ac-
on the people of Ascension need not
arink from comparison with those OF
ny other parish, and we feel sure |
