PRESIDENTS NEfOhI.
Office Board of Commissioners,
Fifth Louisiana Levee District,
Tallulsh, La, April II, 1917. J
To the Hon. Board of Commissioners
for the Fifth Louisiana Levee Dist,
Gentlemen:
beg to submit the following re-
port of conditions existing in our levee
district:
Beginning at the upper end Of the
district O'Possom or Wilson Point
is the first unfinished work under con-
tract. This enlargement is being done
by the U. 8. Government and has been
delay ed by rain; but will be closed up
in q short while--after high water
stage of river permits them to resume
work.
Cottonwood Loop is under contract
to be completed by December 1st.
Slow progress has been made on this
work, owing to weather conditions
and seipage. The river bank has not
caved any tor the past 80 days and I
think the old levee will not breach
this season.
The L. s. Government has contract
ed to build long line at Hagaman,
which is covered by a large force.
Slow progress is being made here also
owing to seipage.
Atherton Enlargement ma
chine doing this work has made very
slow progress, owing to break down
and bad pit conditions. We ordered
them to suspend work on the 9th inst.
on account OF bad, wet material that
was being put in the levee.
Salem has not been finished, but all
the weak points have been covered
Henderson Loop has been finished and
is in good condition.
Clagett New Loop developed some
weakness when water came against it,
but has been made secure by closing
gap i'm old levee.
Lucerna and Kenmore Loops have
been completed. Deer Park Loop will
be completed in a few days. Ashley
Loop has been finished also. Withla.
coochie Slide has been excavated anC
restored.
Bougere topping has progressed
slowly and contract has been extended
until fall, or until water recedes.
I am sorry to state that caving banl
will make it necessary to build severa
loops before another high water.
} Mascot, Omega and Morancy will
J require new loops of considerable
length and yardage. A small loop viii
be necessary at Millikens Bend.
We have several other points in tn,
district that banks Gre snoomiortabl,

thorities and take the necessary steps

CENTURY OLD OAK
WAS ONCE GIBBET
THE HORSE THIEVES DANGLED
FROM ITS LIMBS. SHELTER
ED INDIAN CAMPS.

ST. PAUL, Minn.-For a century
or more an ancient Jack oak tree has
raised it's venerable head, and babe
defiance to wind and weather. 1t has
witnessed the coming of the self-cen-
tered white man, the passing of the
nomadic red man, the extinction of
the great herds of buffalo and the
conquest of the wilderness, and it re-
mains, not a pityful wreck of what it
once was but erect, glorying in its
vigor.
Almost within the shadow of the
great cathedral it stands, before a
fiat at 793 Dayton avenue, spreading
it great arms afar and making of its
shade benson for which passers-
by, who have no idea of it's interest
ing history, are exceedingly grateful.
Shaded Indian Camp.
Long before Dayton avenue was
even trail the tree gave shelter to
bands of painted Sioux on their year
ly visit to the great mounds where
they held their councils, gave their
sacrifcial dances and buried their
dead They tarried under the huge
tree, old even then, and drew water
from a spring near at hand, now de-
stroyed.
When civilization came and build
ings were erected, sewers dug or
streets laid, many interesting relics,
beads, wampum, arrowheads, catlin-
tie pipes, copper gorgets, elk and
bear teeth, quaint bits of pottery and
half charred bones Of animals were
found.
Ali the land in that vicinity was
part of the farm of c. K. Bell, father
of E. H. Bell, who died a short time
ago.
The homestead stood under the
friendly arms of the grand old oak
tree. The only land still remaining
in the family is the lot on which the
modern fiat building stands, which re-
placed the old home and the little
lawn in front, which the tree still
claims for it's own.
MARRIED BY Progress.
When the fiat building was erected
the limbs on the north side had to
be cut off. 1t is said that Mr.. Bell
stood by and quivered with each
stroke of the AK as though the blow
was penetrating his flesh instead of
inanirnate wood.
When the old trail broadened into
a highway and stage coaches went
rumbling by the wheels would oft
times Craze the side of the old tree
until deep cash was worn on the
southern exposure. Nature, the great
physician has healed the wound, but
that part has not the symmetry an
ordinary tree possesses.
Once the tree bore bitter fruit.
Long before the homestead was erect
ed some men were captured in the
act of stealing horses. The county
seat was many miles away in what
is now the state of Wisconsin. There
was hasty informal trial under the
old tree and when morning dawned
two bodies swung over the north
sidewalk. 1t was days before any one
had the hardihood or the interest to
cut them down.
The old tree exists, not relic, a
shadow of it's former self, but erect,
vigorous, with no indication of decay
or disease and bids fair to live for
many generations to come.

Teach the Pigs to Eat.

1t is always advisable to let the
pigs learn to eat from the shop
trough of the mother, or to provide
a small creep for them where they
can get to some slop of their own a

this is done they will be eating read

tinue their growth without interior

JUDICIAL SYSTEMS ARE OLD
Men Wransed Over Rights and
Wrongs From Time They Began
to Live Together.

The concrete beginning OF system
lied judiciary, writes Lewis M. Hosea
in Case and Comment. are as old as
the tribal relation. Men quarreled
about rights and wrongs as soon as
they began To live together as com.
munity. and the chief of the tribe, or
the elders" judged between claim
ants.
Indeed, at the earliest beginnings OF
recorded history we find in Egypt n
judicial system, including a reviewing
power and remarkably developed ideas
OF administrative justice. Judicial Of
ficers In their epitaphs rest their claim
TO immortality upon having judged I'M
partially. never depressing the weak
and humble, and their merciful regard
for the fntherless and the widow.
In the Code of Hammurabi of Baby
Ion were embodied many Of the essen.
tlal principles Of modern justice which
were transmitted 10 European peoples
through the conquests Of Alexander
and the Romans. These form the
primal basis of the Roman civil law OF
our English ancestors, derived through
the early tribes of northern Europe.
Even old Homer (66 Il. c. gives us
a suggestive picture Of the modern sys
