MODERN WEATHER PRO
PHECY.

New ideas in predicting storms
are being adopted by weather ex-
perts. A storm on the South At

predicted because Of heavy swells
breaking along the coast; but the
predicted storm hash t arrived yet.
Long forecasts for next
winter are now being prepared
bv astronomical observers who are
keeping tab on the ice caps

watching the polar ice formations,
observers hope to estimate the am

LOUISIANA RAILROAD ASKS
RATE INCREASE.

Baton Rouge. la. Aug. !. The
Louisiana railroad here has made
application to the railroad com
mission for an advance in freight
and passenger rates. The case
probably will he set for hearing
August II.
The railroads operating in the
State want the same advance on
intrastate rates as given bv the In
terstate Commerce Commission in
the consideration of the rate al
vance eases and recommended
that the state commission grant
the increase.
The ease will be submitted on
the record made before the Inter

Until probably the middle Of
next week the brick paving will
again be stopped by Messrs.
Richie Bros. This is due to the
fact that the excavation from the
corner Of iberia and on up Main
is not vet complete. Why this
necessary part Of the work has
been neglected by the contractors
we have not been able to ascertain
It is unfortunate. considering the
cessation Of rains. So far the
paving is within about thirty feet
Of Iberia Street. On Monday
these same contractors were
awarded the paving Of Bridge
Street. Just whether they will
undertake that part Of the work
before finishing up Main to Rail
road Avenue we have not been in
formed. The consensus of opiu-
ion is that Main should he finished
first before taking M any other
work and we hope our City Faith
RS will insist upon if. On iberia
Street the Southern Roads Com
panv have been laying the cement
cutters Just as rapidly as the
working force could Law the &C.
ment. and in few weeks if they.
have the material at hand it isl
more than probable they will bel

BETTER DRAINAGE FOR OUR
FARMERS.

For some time representative
citizens Of the Sixth, Fifth and
Seventh Wards have been en-
deavoring to carry on a JOINT pro
gram to drain the lands III those
sections that suffer yearly from
foundations. From what we learn
it is proposed to create sub-draln-
age boards out Of the Bayou Car
lin Drainage District, Coulee
Rodcrp. the Petite Anse, and
work in conjunction with the
Iberia & Southern. SO as to float
bonds that will give sufficient rev.
cnuo to build canals that wnl
mean real relief to the land own
ers. If the plans as proposed are
feasible and legal, Coulee Rodiere
will he cleaned out and excavated
and the New Iberia & Southern,
better known as the New iberia
Commercial Canal will also be
deeppncd at a point below the +.
e A.Rairoad, so as to care for all
of the waters Of intersectlng
canals the intention being to build
basin near Curtis switch. It is
thought with the funds which will
be available in the year 1923 there
will be ample money to clean out
and deepen the canal to the sea,
and financial aid given the other
drainage boards. Some weeks
ago the Chamber Of Commerce at
the suggestion Of Mr.. Silvio Brous-
sard appointed a committee to
gather data and otherwise look
into the feasibility Of having
Coulee Rodiere tapped with the
Commercial Canal at a point be-
low the f. & A. Railroad crossing.
This committee has been diligently
At work and ere the course of 4
few weeks some definite plan will
ne arrive at which might mean
the savings of several hundred
thousand dollars in crops an

who seemed willing in former

consider the game now worth the

the Legislature was in session that
amendments were not made to the
charter Of New Iberia. either to

voters right to elect one well

Last Thursday, as will be
noticed by perusaI Of the minutes
Of the Parish Democratic Execu-
tive Committee appearing IN
another column Of this journal,
James Simon, Judge Of the Nine
teenth judicial lDistrict Court
which comprises Iberia and st.
Martin Parishes and District At
tornev Emile Vuillpmot were both
declared the nominees Of the
Democratic Party without opposl-
ton. This Of course eliminates
the necessity of going through a
political campaign for either of
the Offices. and Judge Simon will
again sit on the bench for another
term of four years with Mr.. Vull-
Iemot as the prosecuting officer of
the Court. His Honor will then
begin his fourth term. a well de
served compliment to jurist for
faithful services rendered the
people Of the two Parishes.
His co-worker before the bar,
Mr.. Vuillemot has served but one
term as District Attorney and we
believe his constituents are per-
fectly satisfied with his steward
ship in that capacity. Mr.. Willie
mot has made an aggressive pros
ecuting officer and we feel certain
will keep up his record as a pains
taking public official.
