heavy downpour of rain will put
them in the same plight as be-
fore.
Now that the fair weather is
drying up the mud on Railroad
avenue, it is the concensus of
opinoin that the city engineer
should take advantage of the
fact and overcome the impass-
able condition Of this street be-
fore more rainy weather sets in.
Every available employee Of the
city should be used, as well as
such additional help as the engi-
neer may need to carry out the
work It is imperative that
something be done on this thor
oughfare, as it, is the street ov-
err which Morgan City receives
her greatest trade benefits.
The people who constantly
use this street have complained
as to the impossible condition of
the street, but owing to the rain
and the muddy condition of the
street, nothing could be done up
to this time. The way is now
open for the improvement
which, though they be but for
temporary relief, are badly
needed. An emergency requires
treatment. This
emergency would recommend
that every available man, truck
an danimal be impressed into
service for the immediate rem
edying of Railroad avenue.

]. Warren Kerrigan
in ''Three X Gorda.. .

]. Warren Kerrigan's versatility as
a screen star of the first magnitude
was never better displayed than in
his latest picture, Three X Gordon"
which will have its initial local Show
ing Wednesday night at the Arcade
theatre Kerrigan, in his previous
screen efforts, has been pretty much
of every sort of hero, from a rug
ged young westerner with all the
tricks of the cleverest of cowboys at
his fingers ends to the typical col
legian or the young New Yorker of
fashion. And he has done about all
sorts of screen acting roo, bue iii
Three X Gordon" he will reveal
talent as a comedian that has not
heretofore been made known to his
admirers.
In Three X Gordon" Kerrigan is
seen in his happiest moments, with
never fleeing smile on his lips, even
when he faces the darkest days he
has ever experienced. This widely
screen star brings a note of
joyfulness to his new pictrue and
while the story itself is an unusually
diverting and entertaining example
of screen literature, Kerrigan's per-
sonal contribution to the picture
lifts it high in the list of comedies OF
the better sort.

take up the matter with the
council

council
The council adopted an ordi-
nance changing the meeting day
from the first Monday in each
month to the second Thursday in
each month, repeating all con-
flicting ordinances.
An application from Mr.. Gold
stein for site on the river
front to conduct a junk business
was refused. A petition from
citizens in the Annex to have
electric wires extended to their
homes was referred to the
Streets and Landings Committee
with instructions to examine the
franchise granted the electric
company, and report if such pro-
vision is made for furnishing all
citizens with service. A petit
ton from several citizens on
Terrebonne Street for sewer
connections was referred to the
city engineer for investigation.
An offer was read from Mr.. H.
F. Boudreaux in which he pro-
posed to make changes in the
Power House engines by which
fuel would be savel. The coun-
Gil then adjourned.

An Emergency

The people of Morgan City are
awakening to the menace of pro-
crastination in the matter of i'm
proving the streets and landings
of the city. The citizens with
but few exceptions want to see
good streets built at once. From
all sides comes the opinion in an
increasing volume that the time
to do this work is NOW. The
longer such work is delayed, the
greater grows the menace and
the encouragement Of obstacles
obstructing the execution of the
plans for bond issue. Proper
ty holders have expressed them
selves as ready to pledge their
property as security, and anx-
ious to have the council call the
election for the issue, which
without a doubt will carry. The
community is very fortunate, in
that so many Of its property
owners are realizing the benefit
of the improvements.
TIE community is gratified ov-.
err of the fact that Hon. M. D.
Shannon has made arrangements
with Mr.. Duncan Buie, state
highway engineer, for a survey
of the work to be done on the
streets of this city. Mr.. Buie
will visit Morgan City in week
or two and will make his recon-
mendations to re city council.
Mr.. Buie has had unlimited ex-
perience IN road and street build
ing, and with assistance Of the
local authorities, he should SUBJ
NIT a very definite and intelli-
gent plan for repairing and re-
building the streets of this city. |
Mr.. Buie has assured Mr.. Shan
non that the state would lend as
sistance in the building of Front /
Street from the ferry landing to
Railroad avenue, and all of Rail-
road avenue, as these streets are /
part Of the Old Spanish Trail
which forms a section of the
main highway through this
parish. The people are anxious !
~ looking forward to Mr.. Buie's
visit.
For the first time since the
setting in Of winter, this section
is enjoying fair weather, and the
streets of the city are drying
sufficiently to become passable
in some parts where traffic was
impossible. The people are not i
going to permit themselves to be
satisfied with this fact, however,
and do not propose to let the |
matter Of improving the streets
escape their attention for one
moment. Fair weather streets
are, after all, no better than the
worst streets, because they can
not be depended upon. There is |.
no telling at what moment /

GOOD WORK WITH CAMERA
Explorers In Northwestern Canada Have Photographic Studies of
 Wilderness Wild Life.

After a three years hunt with the river district in northwestern Canada, H. A. Stewart and John Sonnickson have come back to civilization by way of Peace river. Alberta. bringing sev- eral thousand photographic studies of the manners and customs of the wild streams. The explorers, for they we'll deserve the name. worked into the wilderness by way of Hudson's Hope and the forks of the Findlay and Parsnip rivers as far as Fort Ora hame Their negatives illustrate the habits of the ptarmigan. moose, beav- CT, Canadian wild geese and other an- finals and birds that have seldom been observed with anything like thorough ness by means of the camera. The travellers had devices of various sorts whereby their subjects were enticed to spots upon which the hidden lenses were focused; and upon reaching these spots an ambushed camera man snapped" them by twitching a long cord attached to the lens shutter. A single negative of some specially shy animal was often the only fruit of many hours of patient waiting. Some times for days the explorers would watch a single spot through their field glasses awaiting the favorable mo- ment to shoot" But it was all worth 1t.

Chance of Fashion.

Indeed so completely have fashions and materials changed in a century that the articles included in the fol lowing advertisement of goods to be sold on Fishbourne's wharf, "back of Mrs. Fishhourne's dwelling" have scarcely any meaning for us. Among the numerous articles to be disposed of were: "Tandems, isinghams, nuns, bag and gulixall shirtings, huckabacks, quilted hum-hums, turkettes, grassetts, single allopcens, children's jumps and bodice, whalebone and iron busks, mems Newmarket caps, allibanies, dickmansoy, cushloes, chuchloes, cut taneeS, crimson dannador, chained soosees, lemonees, byrampauts, moree, maffermany, saxlingham, prunelloe, barragons," etc.
 Humhums was sort of towel made of coarse Indian cotton cloth; cutta- nee kind of piece goods of silk and cotton, also imported from India; bar ragon is the barracan of today, a fabric made of camels hair, used wide ly in trn Levant for robes and man ties; but for the most part the ar- ticles named in the advertisement have long become obsolete.

lenoth of Arms and Ieos,

According to many measurements made at the Archaeological 1abora- tory in London, the right arm in human beings is in majority of cases longer than the left arm, while, on the contrary, the left leg is longer than the right leg.
 Sometimes, however, the relative proportions are exactly reversed but seldom does perfect equality exist be- tween the two sides. The tendency of the right arm to exceed the left arm in strength is sometimes greater in men than in women, while equality of strength in the two arms occurs almost twice as frequently with women as with men.

Cleaning tho StunPs.

The rapid decrease in the number of tall stumps which have been so ia. miliar to the traveller through the coast hills of Oregon, is regarded as an in- dication of their approaching extinc- ton. Hitherto some 20 feet of each stump has been left standing. silent relics of former monarchs of the forest, too thick for most saws to compass and too full of pitch to suit the saw mills. But now the need for timber is greater and men no longer climb high up on to boards thrust into notches in the trunk to suit the saw and the saw mill. They have learned thrift and they cut low down lest good lumber be uselessly wasted. Only as a record of past wastefulness are the tall stumps with their deep notches still viSih1o

For several years past, many peo-
pie Of this country have been deyo-
ting entirely too much time to the
accumulation of wealth. Those Who
have not been worshipping the AL
mighty Dollar have spent their time
in ldleness of some sort, and, to an
alarming degree, all classes or peo-
pie have neglected the things most
essential to the welfare Of the ma

than lending their energies to the
upbuilding of religious orga, l. Mons.

seven hundred thousand canl~t cad

population of this country cannot
read the laws by which they are GOV
erned. The census of 1910 shows that
there were more than five and one
half million persons in the United
States over ten years Of age who
could neither read nor write. How
ever, such conditions are not to be
wondered at when the people Of the
people of the country spend only half
as much for school books as they do
for chewing gum; when more money
is spent for automobiles than for all
educational purposes combined; when
the cost incident to the trial, convic-
ton and punishment Of a chicken
thief is more than is paid d public

when the people spend more money
