THE BAYOU BOUTTE CANAL MUST Be BUILT,

VIZ have been leisurely gathering facts and informa-
ton for some time preparatory to publishing an article on
the many advantages that would accrue to New Iberia
from the building of the Bayou Boutte canal.
We have only begun this work of investigation, only
scratched the surface of possibiEties-and it looks SO
big, so promising that we are almost afraid to publish the
results of our inquiries thus far. Afraid less We be charged
with exaggeration or "nature-faking'.
Within the past three days we have received direct
word of two saw mills anxious to locate here, positively
will do so if-and only if the canal is dug.
We learned of one gang of swampers who receive
$4,000 every Is days, who are actually talking in their
camps every night of the time when New Iberia will dig
the water route from Boutte to Teche and they can come
in in two hours or less in a gasoline boat.
We have learned further of the ten and twelve
dollars a day per man being made by moss %gatherers, and
of the mountains of moss passing through Plaquemine
continually. that could SO much more easily come here,
and would if we only open this canal.
We have learned today friday of three fish docks
waiting to open in New Iberia the canal is dug.
Today one well known swamper, a citizen of New Ibe-
ria, told us of his personal knowledge of three hundred
families that will move At Once to the city that digs
this water route so they can have q home In town
where their children can attend school, and they be able to
come in by gas boat easily whenever they wish:
Mr.. Merchant. imagine what an influx of several hun
dreds of families into New iberia will mean to you and
your business, men, reliable men, who have spent their
lives in the region lying around Grand Lake and Lake
Dauterive, men with years OF experience In Swamp life,
who know that business as you know your own--estimate
that over 1000 men are working there, q large majority
being men with families.
We have heard today, also, how the Greatest of Posi-.
bilties is about to be taken away from New Iberia forever,
irretrievably! Quick action alone will save the day.
This is not rumor, nor idle talk, nor the vaporizlng Of
a chronic Alarmist! Citizens of New Iberia, these are factsl
Hard, cold Factsl
Next week The Iberian will have more definite in
formation on this subject and will devote considerable
space in an efortAto bring the seriousness of this situation

THRILLING STORY OF A MANS TRIUMPH
over NATURE.

There has been no more dramatic chapter IN recent
American history, than that relating to the tanning of the
Colorado River, the curling of the great Yellow Dragon
which for years defed mans efforts TO control it and finally
threatened to engulf the rich Imperial valley of southern
California. Ednah Aiken has given this story to the world
in "The River" which, while it is fiction, IS based upon
facts that are more thrilling than the mind Of the fiction
writer could conceive. "The River is a story of strong
men. a story of battle, a vivid story of action. AT the
same time there is interviewer in the plot an appealing
love thread. 1t is a story that will grip your imagination
We have arranged to run this unusual story as a serial IN

COST Of LIVING TO REMAIN HIGH.

From figures compiled by the Board of Trade of Phila-
delphia we CLEAN the following facts concerning the prices
Of commodities and wages.
The average advance in the United States since 1914
has been approximately 107 percent, as compared with
115 percent ii Canada, 1873 in Great Britain and 25 in
France. n
Since the signing of the armistice there has been a re-
adjustment of prices, some materials, notably steel, falling
off perceptibly-wit others showing slight advances, the
average reduction being less than 6 percent from October
1913 prices.
With the cost of production based largely on wages, no
further reduction in prices need be anticipated for some
time, as cost of labor will be sustained by a combination OF
conditions and circumstances which will require considera-
bic time to readjust.
Almost total blocking of immigration for the past five
wears has caused a natural shortage Of over a million la
borers who would have come in under normal circum-
stances.
Nearly two million workers are still retained in the
government service and a large part of them will be kept
from industrial work indefinitely.
AS indirect results of the war several new industries
have sprung up, each calling for its quota of labor, and
causing an additional shortage of workers.
The sudden renewing of building and construction
work all over the world, which work has been at a stand
still since 1914, has pressed into service millions OF men
and is a most powerful element in the boosting of wages.
The enormous increase in our farming industries and
the necessity for securing such labor during harvest re-
CARELESS Of cost, has resulted in a pitting of city against
country for this labor, each trying to outbid the other, I'M
I'll now in the great Northwest farming labor receives as
much as the union man.
The retarn of soldiers to industrial life by hundreds of
thousands was expected to cause a break in cost of labor,
but so great has been the increase in our national growth,
and so great the world demand for our products, that
these millions of soldiers have been absorbed in our fields
and factories without a p%erceptible check in the prices.
All these circumstances point to a long continuation
of the present high prices, aud to a very gradual readjust-
ment covering a period, not of months, but years.

scattered throughout the county,
aud making seven counts at each
point, one tor every day in the
week. The count is not made Oh
