 You would do us favor if you would state in your paper. to do away with the rumors that the Ida May is subject to seizure in Canadian waters, the information that the Columbia and Northern Fishing and Packing company is in a position to guarantee that the Ida May has not been seized and is not liable to seizure in Ca nadian waters. Those having any doubt of this may inquire of the authorities at Ottawa.

Dr. C. E. Judd Arrives rom
 0msk, Siberia
Will Visit at Craig and May
 Decide to Locate There

Dr. and Mrs. c. E. Judd ar rived from Sumner, Washington, last week and left on the Princess Pat Friday for Craig where it is probable that the doctor will en- gage in the practice of medicine.
 Dr. Judd has been in the Red Cross service. He recently re- turned from Siberia, arriving in San Francisco on April 23. For nine months before leaving Si- beria the doctor was assistant superintendent of the hospital at Omsk, which is $500 miles in- terior from Vladivostok, and only 150 miles from the Russian front. Omsk was Kolchak's headquar. ters. The Red Cross hospital at Omsk is of concrete and was built by German prisoners. It is one of the largest and best equipped in Siberia. It will ac- commodate over 1000 patients. Over 300 German prisoners are used as helpers. The doctor says the Red Cross hospitals are vastly superior to the Russian hospitals and that the Russians themselves fully appreciate this fact, and that a. wounded Russian soldier is always anxious to get into an American Red Cross hospital.
 Dr. Judd says that the Trans Siberian railroad has the finest roadbed he has ever seen. It is double tracked all the way ex- cept through Manchuria. Women and children work on the section and every defective tie is re- moved as soon as it is discovered to be unsound and new one put in it's place. But with the rolling stock it is vastly different. Loco. motives that are out of commits sion and derailed cars that are going to ruin are a common sight all along the way. He says one could get some idea of the de- moralized traffic conditions from the fact that it took him over three weeks to make the trip by rail from Omsk to Vladivostok.
 Dr. Judd says Vladivostok is a city whose population is estimated variously at from five hundred thousand to million. People die there by the hundreds and thousands without causing the population any alarm whatever. He says the greatest number of deaths are caused by the typhus louse. One bite is sufficient to result in a death. Soon after be- ing bitten the victim becomes un- conscious. He may get well and he may die, but death is the usual result.
 The doctor says the Wrangell fire department is far superior to the one in Vladivostok. Just be- fore he left there a fire occurred. The fire department hauled the water from the bay to the fire in barrels and then applied the wat CT to the flames by means of, a hose and hand pump.
 Dr. Judd visited the West Coast in 1917. He liked the country so well that he decided to pay it another visit. He admitted that it was not improbable that he may decide to locate at Craig and engage in the practice of medicine there.

Tax Carries.

The special tax voted by the people
of this town, and of the Road District

some majority, as was anticipated.
While there was no determined cam
paign made in the matter, the people

and guarantee that the amount, Seven
'ty-Fiye Thousand Dollars would be
used for no other purpose than for the

of the securities.
This has been one of the hopes of this
publication for some fifteen or more
years, project that was originated

late in being realized, we find much
satisfaction in seeing it now about to
be an accomplished fact.

Bank Of LafOurche
Did Not Invest.

Following from tn N. o. Item is in
error and information is the Bank of
Lafourche did not invest in this con-
Germ and it is not credit or, it
did not invest in this concern and it
did not sign or become party to any
petition for Receivership proceed
ings.
Beaumont, Texas, Oct. 23.-More
troubles were seen for the Miller-Link
Lumber company of Orange yesterday,
when creditors out of the state filed a
petition in bankruptcyk asking for the
appointment of a receiver.
"The petition was signed by the
Bank of Lafourche, Houma, La, and
First National Bank of Hatiesburg,
Miss, who allege that the company
owns timber lands in Calcasieu and
Beauregard parishes, Louisiana, va
lued $500,000 against which they hold
paper valued at over S300,000. Follow
ing the death of Oscar S. Tam, mana
ger of the company, J. 0. Sims was aP-
pointed receiver. The present peti
TONERS allege that the receiver has no
jurisdiction over the property located
in Louisiana.
"The petition cites that L. Miller,
president of the company and owner OF
nine-tenths of the capital stock, is
now i'll in the east, and on account of
his advanced age, it is very desirable
that the annual premiums be kept up
on the S500,000 life insurance he car
ries in favor of the company. The pre-
miums amount to $4,000 and are paid
by the company"
Beaumont, Tex, Oct. 28-The peti-
tioning creditors asking for a federal
reccivership for the Miller Link Compa
ny of Orange were the Citizens Bank
Of Lafourche, Houma, La, and the

Sat Tuesday.

On last Tuesday the Court of Appeal
for this, the First District, met at the
Court House with Judges Leches and
Mouton on the bench. There was but
one appeal made returnable
at this term, the case of

gamee, appealed from this parish. The
case was argued and submitted, being
taken under advisement.
The court will not sit again in this
parish until the month of March, two
sessions being held in every parish
during the year. There is never much
business before this court in this sec
ton, and one case. is about the maxi
mum number of appeals made return
able to the court from this parish.

Three Associations
Wanted Conferenee

On last Wednesday afternoon, as an
nounced in these columns last week,
and as per notice given the members of
the local Association of Commerce, a
conference of the Association from
Terrebonne, Lockport and Thibodaux,
was to have been at the
FCity Hall in this town.
The principal topic was that relating
to the Intercoastal Canal. The confe-
renee was held at the suggestion and
solicitation of the Lockport Associa-
ton of the Lockport Association, evi-
ton concurred in by the Terrebonne
Association.
The condition of the roads and Hou-
mas inability to attend the conference
caused its postponement to a future
date, not announced. Messrs A. v.
Smith and Jos. H. Price of the Lock-
port Association however were pre-
sent and the matter was informally dis
cussed with several members of thelo-
cal Association, and there is reason to
believe the three organizations can
fully cooperate to. the same end, and
for the mutual benefit of all con-
cerned.

Some of our peaceful citizens are To-
sing their patience and complaining
very seriously about the number of elec
tions being held in this parish. There
are so many elections people are un-
able to keep pace with them, the tax
es are piling UP and the community
extravaganza is equalled only by per-
sonal extravaganza. We have no apollo
gies for any tax for which we have vo-
ted. But jokes aside we have more cleo

Constitution Nav
Be Submitted --Eh!

That the hammering of the big guns
ION the question of not submitting the
proposed Constitution, the call for
which is to be decided by the people
next Tuesday, back to the people, is
having effect is evidenced by the
news dispatches of the present week.
Some one, most probably not very far
removed from Governor Parker, has
elicited an opinion from Attorney &C.
neral Coco, and he has answered that
the convention itself can decide that
the constitution after it is drafted
shall be submitted to the peopleI That
may be so, but it is equally as true that
the convention can and shall decide, or
be made to decide, by the big stick
that it shall not be submitted, so there
you are. Even if it should be submitted,
and if submitted defeated, it may be
THAT the contention can legally be made
that respect could not legally or effec-
lively order it submitted to the people.
vt is certainly best to take no chances,
and as badly as we need new Consti-
tuition, defeat the Gallon next Tues
day vote-No. Blot your ballot after
stamping it to avoid spelling it.

First Term Of
District Court.

The first term of the District Court
TO be held since the summer vacation
this parish was held this week. The
a.being of only one week duration,
~ hYsically ip2posSible to fix or
seaf an y 'SS4sesCeu Cases. On TN nrst
day District Attorney Coignet filed a
batch of informations in misdemeanor
cases, larger number than has been
the rule in some months. The major
ion of those charged pleaded gull
those who did not had their cases
set for the February term and were
discharged under bond.
There were no developments in the
bridge case, the police Jury VS.. The
town, save that default was entered on
! the first day, answer not having been
filed; the preliminary skirmish is
still before the Supreme Court on
the question of whether the right to
bond by defendants was appealable or
not. Answer was however to have been
filed this week and the case will not
be heard on its merits until the next
term, which begins the last week in
November.
The case of Mr.. Alex Chenet VS..
Libby Blouin Ltd. was decided, Judge
Wallis rendering judgment in favor of
plaintiff, Mr.. Chenet for $1035 and
costs; This is a case based on claim
for salary, as overseer, the pay being
claimed, on the ground that he was EN-
red by the year, and not having
cen notified in time, but having star
the present year, was entitled to
pay.
Tuesday was holiday, due to the

voted to the disposition of a number of
exceptions and rules, as well as confr-
nation of defaults, as was Thursday
and Friday.

The Lafourche Transfer Co. Inc. re-
port exceptionally heavy business the
past few weeks with traffic continually
increasing. Some days this week in
stead of sending out one car, an extra
car had to trail on behind to pick up
the surplus passengers, all along the
route. The business has been tremen-
dous and, still grows. This should be
hint to the railroads to offer the pu-
blic comfort and good schedules on its
branches.
