What Shall We Do With the Few

In the interest of natural history,

But in spite of the unselfish efforts

FIFTY MILES FROM COVINGTON
HAS TO RIDE SIX HOURS.

Gulfport, Miss, Feb.25, 1921.
Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
Dear Sir:-I am residing only SO
miles from Covington as the crow
sfes; however, am required to ride
six hours on railroad trains to reach
your town, not including the walt
over to make connections. Every
time make the trip | think OF how
near we came to having a railroad
from Covington to Gulfport. I'm
doubtedly, it will come some day.
Gulfport has been principally q
lumber port, and still is, as matter
Of fact, but its citizens realize that
the daywill come when the forests
Of Mississippi will be no more With
this view in mind, the people are
already working to export other COM
modities than lumber as well as I'M
port goods. Within "a few days ten
thousand bales of cotton will be
shipped to Germany. This cotton,
4 understand, is being shipped under
the Fitzgerald plan whereby it will
be made into goods in Germany and
when the goods are marketed the
owners of the goods will be paid
for 1t.
A fruit company has recently been
organized by Gulfport business men
and will import bananas and cocoa
nuts, Already three cargoes have
been received A cargo consists OF
approximately SO car loads, car
load bringing around 100000. This his
refers to bananas as but few cocoa
nuts are being, handled. The fruit
is being purchased from Frontera,
Mexico, and the boat makes the trip
from Gulfport to Frontera IN four
lays. A round trip is made in ten
to twelve days. Herewith is a let
ter written by john II. Lang, the
grand old man Of the Coast, who is
Interested in nearly every enterprise
Of prominence and who made q trip
IN the banana boat. Mr.. Lang's let
Ser is interesting as it explains how
The bananas are handled.
Yours very truly.

PLEDGED TO
GIVE SUPPORT
President Warner Tells of
Good Things Accom-
plished for Town

The meeting of the Association Of
Commerce and dinner given the
| guests and members in the dining
room OF the CoVington restaurant
was a most impressive lesson. of what
| the real get-together spirit means In
| the progress OF town. Every busl-
ness and profession was represented
and talks were made in perfect free
dom of criticism and with recogni-
ton and acknowledgement of the
value OF such an association to the
people.
President Warner outlined the
work accomplished, and in response
to the calls, of the POSTMASTER, Mayor
Badon, many of the members and
guests spoke of the opportunities
that could be opened to Covington
by the assistance and cooperation OF
its citizens.
One of the accomplishments OF the
association was the securing of a
depot suitable to traffic and business
Of CoVington, and it was announced
that the plans for putting in a brick
yard was so far advanced that suttici-
ent stock had been subscribed to
put such plant in going position.
All that was needed was the details
OF organization and a meeting Of the
committee having the matter in
charge. This will soon be accom-
plished.
The putting Of the river in navi-
gable shape was also discussed. It
was stated that work on the con-
tract for dredging was awaiting the
placing Of an available fund to be
drawn, upon for this work. It is un-
derstood that while the money i'm
mediately available is not sufficient,
an additional fund can be brought
into service whenever it is. shown
that the river is being put to COM
merciaIs use. "
A large number of citizens pledg-
ed themselves to the support OF the
association and quite a, number of
new members came in.
The following members and guests
were present.: w. H. .Kentzel, ]. II.

SHOW SUCCESS
Vaudeville.

'Mandeville, March 3-The picture
show given March 2 at the Progress
sic Union Hall was a grand success,
both from the picture show and
financial standpoint. The people
were all pleased, as was the menage-
ment.
Owing to not having the proper
size lense the picture was, not quite
as large Or as distinct at it should
have been at times. Most of the
scenes shown being night scene were
very difficult to show with the 1ense
used, but all in all, it was very good.
DR.. VanZant made quite an ap-
propriate talk in behalf of member
ships for the Progressive Union. He
exp. .ained the cause the Union is
working for, which is a larger and
more progressive MandeVille. The
other speaker Of the evening was
Mr.. A. E. Briggs, who made quite
lengthy talk in regard to making a
harbor and a, place for vessels to
shelter themselves when need be.
Mr.. Briggs told the people of Mande-
vile that with the dredging Of Bayou
Castaign Vaudeville would offer
much more inducements for people
to spend their time.h here, as the lake
is what people are after for pleasure
and recreation, and with place to
harbor their boats Vaudeville should
come to the front and go over the
top.
Capt. Kern will put on another
show Saturday night and will then
have the proper equipment to screen
the show as it should be. There will
be a show every Wednesday and Sat
urday until further notice, as Mr..
Frederick. of the st. Tammany Ice
& Light Company has assured Man
deville al the power that town can
use inside of a couple of weeks,
then there will be as good shows III
Mandeville as one would see in a
city.
At Wednesday nights show each
attendant was given a chance to
name the theatre, and a season pass
was the reward. The judges to select
the best name were Mrs. Fassman,
chairman Of the Progressive Union
Entertainment Committees. Mayor w.
E. VanZant, and Mr.. Hutchinson.
The, name selected was the "Mande-
vile Booster, and Mr.. lie. Bethea
was the one who submitted the
name.
March 31st the Progressive Union
Will give "a Minstrel Show with. a
feature picture as an added attrac-
tion.
Some time in April there will be
an entertainment and general COOL
time and show fer the benefit of
the Reverand Father Of the Catholic
Church to afford him a little recre-
alton this coming summer, the date
and program tos,be announced later.

they should take the advice and
counsel of expert drainage engineers.
1t is the duty of the Board OF State
Engineers, when called upon, to
make all surveys and examinations
necessary to determine the cost OF
the drainage, to run all lines and
levels, lay off canals and levees, To-
cate pumping stations, and perform
any and all services in connection
With the drainage and rec-a ming or
the lands in any District. In the
engineers report to the local Drain
age Commissioners they are requir-
ed to state specifically whether or
not the project is feasible, the cost
per acre to drain and reclaim the
lands, the cost per acre of mainte-
nance after the drainage is estao-
lished, the character of the lands,
whether prairie or timbered, and,
if partly timbered, the proportion OF
each; the cost per--acre Of putting
the lands in a state of cultivation
after the drainage is accomplished;
the fertility Of the soil Of such Drain
age District, and the value OF the
land per acre after the reclamation
Is completed. So, the voters when
they come to vote on the project and.
the issuance of bonds know definite
ly much Of the advantages they viii
obtain from the drainage, what it
i; and how much it will cost.
The plan for drainage di5triets |
mention above proposed to have 70
d ;stricts, and to separate the pump
and levee districts from the natural
or gravity drainage districts so that
neither would have to pay any part
Of the cost Of the other, and no dis
trict would have to share the cost
of draining any other district. Th5s
would not prevent two districts or
more joining for the construction OF
long canal, but this can7probably
be avoided, and believe was avoid
ed by the plan as drawn.
i, The larger part Of the parish, even
Of the southern part of the parish,
can be drained by Improving the
carrying capacity of the natural
streams N the parish, and the parish
is fortunate in controlling practical
ly all the streams which run thru
the parish. Probably only the swamp
lands would require pump and levee
drainage. These are matters, of
