ENROUTE TO LOUISIANA

From The Houma Times:

The Committee on rivers and har-

table civil engineers, who are max
ing their itinerary over the proposed
route of the intercoastal canal, will
reach Corpus Christi, Texas, on No
vember %, where they will be met

over the route in this state. Amongst
these from this section to join the
party are: Messrs. Albert Dupont,
member of the executive committee,
DR.. L. H. Jastremski and Camille St.
Martin.
They will arrive in Morgan City
on Saturday November "a, at 3:45
D. M, and some of the prominent
business men of that city will ac-
company them via water route to
Gibson, in Terrebonne Parish,
whence the party will proceed to
Houma in comfortable motor cars,
Sunday morning they will depart
from this city by water to New Or

who have made arrangements to pro-
vide conservation boats to convey
the party over the route.
The Intercoastal canal Il, plan
ned by the u. S. Government, will
do as much good to the development
of this country, as the great Panama
Canal that now links the Pacific
with the Atlantic Ocean. It will be
the means of linking the shallow
streams in the lower section of Lou
isiana, and provide deep waterways
for transportation purposes. Intro
duced as war measure, this pro-
posed canal, is putting it mildly of
inestimable good which the nation
would derive while we are in a
mighty struggle. Extensive agri-
