RICE MEN OPTIMISTIC
ON CROP PROSPECTS
Mr.. IRVING SAYS EAST TEXAS
MILLS WILL BE IN LOUISIANA
MARKET THIS SEASON

A newspaper reporter conversed
briefly Saturday morning with S. A.
Irving, manager of the Atterberry and
Irving rice warehouse in this city, on
the prospects of the 1921 crop as to
yield and price.
Mr.. Irving was a recent visitor to
Crowley, his former home, and from
that city went on to Orange, Texas,
to attend to some business affairs
While on the trip he made inquiries
relative to the situation of the rice
industry in the sections he visited. He
stated that the condition of the crop
was excellent and in many places ex-
ceeded by far any previous crop as
to percentage yield. The acreage, he
acknowledged, had been material re-
duced in Louisiana and this fact
would prove of material benefit to
the producers when the crop is har-
vested and ready for the market.
In east Texas, said Mr. Irving,
there is practically no crop whatever,
the Texas crop being confined to the
coastal regions further west, around
Ell Campo and other nearby localities.
The mills in Orange, Beaumont and
Houston would have to look to Louis
lana producers for a supply in order
to keep their mills going the coming
season, and this unusual demand, he
thought, would greatly aid the Louis
lana farmers in selling their crop to
the best advantage as there would be
strong competition among the buyers.
The milling interests Of this state are
in a strong combine and the Louisi-
ana State company is known as the
trust. This company owns many
mills throughout the state but only
one in Texas as under the laws of
that state it is inhibited from form
ing a combine and buying up and con-
trolling independent mills. The in
dependent mills in Louisiana and Tex
as will be hot after the Louisiana crop,
Mr.. Irving thinks, and he believes the
price win range from four to five dol
lars per barrel. The crop has been
cheaply raised, comparatively, and
the financial returns should be salts
factory, he thinks.

OFFICER TELLS
HIS EXPERIENCE
HEALTH INSPECTOR HoLLIER
SAYS MANY WON'T CUT WEEDS
BECAUSE CITY DON'T LEAD

Sanitary Inspector Hollier stated
ed last week that he had been ex-
perieneing much difficulty in securing
the cooperation of residents in keep
ing the grass and weeds cut down
around their premises and every
thing else in ffrst-class condition.
When making his rounds of the
city and notifying people to get their
premises cleaned up many inform him
they would gladly do so If the city
would only follow and keep the grass
and weeds cleaned out of certain little
used streets and many OF the street
drains. When this is fired at him. he
is nonplussed as to what to do in the
premises, though the sanitary law
states plainly what his duty Is. How
ever, he realizes that If the city don't
set the example certain citizens will
refuse to take the hint and get the
grass and weeds destroyed.
Mr.. Hollier has been on the Job
several years and is perfectly well In
formed as to the conditions in this
city and he had always acted con-
scientiously and automatically in ex-
ecuting the orders Of the city beard
Of health. He desires that there shall
be full cooperation between the city
and the individual citizens in the mat
ter Of keeping both streets and premi-
ses cleaned up and all noxious weeds
cut.

THE SECOND GAME

! The Patterson team, owned by
young Williams, husband Of the fam
Gus motion picture actress Marguer-
rite Clark and SON Of the richest man
in Louisiana, F. B. Williams, million
airs 1umberman, came to opelousas
Saturday for two-game series OF
baseball with the local team. Patter-
sons aggregation of players has
reputation throughout this section CT
the state as being one of the best
semi-professional clubs and they have
been playing first-class bali the entire
season.
Saturday they met their Waterloo
on the locals home grounds, the score
standing II to in favor of Opelousas.
A tremendous crowd of fans went out
to see the locals take Patterson's
scalp and the work was performed il
artistic style and to the great satis-
faction Of the fans. Hundreds OF dol
lars changed hands in the betting, all
the fans from towns surrounding 0p-
-Eunice, Sunset, Port Barre
and Westinghouse wagering their mon
ey on Patterson, and on account OF
the fortunes of the game they were
crestfallen bnnch, sans money but
much wiser after the last inning had
been played The Patterson crowd
was entirely outclassed and one OF
their players stated frankly that the
lone run they made was an aecident
and they really wasn't entitled to it
Opelousas' team suffered consider
ably as a result Of the game, one play
er having wrenched his ankle, putting
him entirely out Of the lineup; an
other having his injured finger badly
hurt which almot incapicitated him
for work; and Littell being unable to
participate in the Sunday game. This
series of misfortunes weakened the
opelousas lineup and the SUNDAY
game went to Patterson.
However, in order to win the Sum
day game, the Pattersonites secured
two ex-leaguers, one Of them, Robin
son." coming all the way from Hons

charged that he used the outlawed
emery" ball at the Sunday game, and
with his expert handling of the ball
he shut opelousas out, the score
standing to 0.
The rung-in pitcher, Robinson -
thought to be assumed name-is said
to have played ball in the southern
association and other leagues and Is
now outlawed except in Texas where
he has been playing on various clubs
of the Texas league. The emery
ball is misnomer. The pitcher has
a piece Of emery paper in his glove

ONCE BEFORE IN
BAD GETS CAUGHT
AGAIN in N. OAK.
Lee Delahoussaye, Convic-
ted Here for Forgery,
In Trouble
COULDN'T RESIST
OLD TEMPTATION
Chased Him Nine Months
for Forging Postoffice
Money Orders


Several years ago a handsome
young fellow named Lee Delicious
saye, member of a prominent southern
Louisiana family and well connected
on all sides, faced court in Opelou-
sas on the charge of having forged the
name of Frank Miller, prominent resi-
dent of the Sunset section, to checks,
etc. Delahoussaye was given due trial
and promptly convicted and sent to
the penitentiary on the charge. He
either served his entire time or was
pardoned, it is not recalled just ex-
actly which; but it is remembered
that he stated he would walk straight
ever afterward, and in the course Of
time he and his former trouble dropp-
ed out of sight and was forgotten.
Delahoussaye was well known in
opelousas and was very popular with
many people He was fine-looking
young fellow, affable in his manners
and knew how to comfort himself
when in the company Of ladies or any
one else. His friends here were very
sorry when he got in trougle and hop
ed that the lesson would be lasting
one and that he would turn over a
new leaf and not enter on life of
crime
Last Friday he appeared in the pub
prints again. An Associated Press
dispatch from Grand Forks, North
Dakota, under date Of July Is, stated
that Lee Delahoussaye had been ar
rested there that day by United
States officers on the charge of hav-
ing forged eighty money orders Of
the Smithfield. Pennsylvania. postof-
flee. The chase had extended over a
period Of nine months and led the Of
ficers through various cities and
states of the middle vast and the
south before they ran their man to
the wall and caught him in the North
Dakota city Friday. He waived pre-
liminary examination and was taken
to Jefferson City, Missouri, where he
was incarcerated in the federal jail
to await the action of the grand jury
on the case.
Judging from the tenor of the dis
patch, Delahoussaye has a penchant
for forging and speaking Of the mat
ter Monday morning an Opelousean
who knows the culprit well stated
that Delahoussaye was splendid
penman and could initiate the sigma
ture of any one to a document. Evi-
IDENTIFY his term in the Louisiana peni-
tentiary did not reform him and
change the manner of his ways, for
after having served. some time at
hard labor in the penal institution in
this state, doing hard labor as punish
ment for his wrongs, here he bobs up
again on a similar charge standing
against him and with splendid pros
poets of spending another term in
hook. this time, however, behind the
bars of federal penitentiary.
Delahoussaye had not been heard
Of in this city and neighborhood for
several years and his appearance Fri
day in North Dakota indicates that
he has wandered considerably since
his release from the Louisiana state
peniteHtiary.

FURTHER DAMAGE
TO CITY STREETS
EVERY BIG RAIN
Grolee Still Stands Out
Prominently as Drain
age Canal
RESIDENTS COMPLAIN
OF STREETS CONDITION
Herculean Measures Must
Be Adopted to Save Fu-
ture Costs of Repair

Too much can not be said about the
bad condition of some Of the city
streets. The matter has been com
mented on in various newspaper arti-
[ cles and numerous citizens have spok-
en- Of it from all angles. That Ger
tain streets, especially East Grolee.
are in bad condition and in crying
need of attention, is accepted by even
the poorly informed who have taken a
closeup or long-distance view of the
thoroughfares named.
No layman can figure the probable
cost OF such repairs. 1t will require
the services of the city engineer to
take a survey of the thoroughfares
and furnish the board of aldermen
with an estimate of the damage done
and the probable cost of repairing
same.
The damage to the streets is not
altogether confined to Grolee street
or any other street but seems to be
widespread over the city. Grolee
street has been mentioned as a speci-
fic instance Of the damage for it ap-
pears to be in the worst condition of
any and the damage grows with every
flood or rain, as has been noted IN
newspaper stories before. Several
property owners living on that street
have been questioned about the mat
ter, and one OF them, whose good ma
ture always bubbles over laughingly
stated he had become somewhat ac-
customed to the canal in front Of
his home and did not pay much atten-
ton to it. The property owners re-
siding on the south side OF that street
have been keeping up the old brick
sidewalk, ironing out all kinks in the
ancient pavement and doing every
thing in their power to keep up their
end of the streets looks. The fact
remains that when one steps off the
sidewalk or drives his car or other
vehicle down the street he feels he is
dropping into a deep ditch, and that
ditch is getting worse every time a
big rain sends its flood waters bound
ing down the street to the drainage
creek at the east end OF the city.
The reporter has not kept close
tabs on the work performed on Gro
lee street but judging from the ap-
pearancs Of that thoroughfare 1t
would appear that there has not been
any great amount Of effort expended |
in trying to KEEP it in fair shape. Ger.
tainly it deserves more attention than
II has yet received, and even II It is
payed with gravel at any time in the
future some provision must be made /
for better drainage than NV exists for
II this item is not attended to before
the gravel is laid the material will be
constantly subjected to heavy wash
ing rains that viii put the street in
bad way again.
One block of North Lombard
street, from the corner OF Grolee south
to North street, is also in pretty bad
fix and should receive some attention.
The drainage is fairly good on this
bIock and the flood water rushes down
the ditch and runs east along North
stseet, but there are one two slight
basins that act as catches after each
raiHaAi should be filled in by soil

hauled thre for that purpose.
In fact, it appears that if the street
working department Of the city spent
the most of its time in hauling dirt
from elsewhere and filling in the low
places. the streets could be and would
be better improved than they are by
constantly plowing out the drains and
dragging the loose earth to the center
with a grader.
Some time ago the graveIed poT-
ton Of Main street was touched up
and put that thoroughfare in first
class shape. a recent drive over it
in car, however, has impressed US
with the fact that it needs another
touching up without delay as the
slight depressions in the gravel are
beginning to show up and cause con-
siderable ioIting as an auto rolls along.
This is Characteristic of graveled
streets and roads and unless frequent
attention is given to streets paved
with such material the difficulty viii
become so pronounced as to be more
than noticeable.
