LIGHT PLANT IS
In SPLENDID FIX
ENGINEER MILLER HAS EVERY.
THING CLEANED. UP AND MA
cHINERY RUNNING FINE

Chief Engineer Miller, who has
been acting superintendent of the city
light and water plant, is to be COM
mended on the manner in which he
has handled the outfit Mr.. Miller is
one of those quiet and unassuming
geniuses who has little to say but be-
lieves in action and he follows that
program to the letter and then says
nothing.
The plant from condition of riot
Gus disorder that was attendant to
the enlarging of the building and the
installing of new machinery has been
whipped into shape and everything
is kept in neat condition and the ma
chinery-the five big engines. genera
tors, pumps, ETC., are looking as spicB
and span as if they had just dropped
from the bandbox.
Mr.. Miller and his subordinates be-
,lieve there is no real reason why an
electric plant should not be kept IN
perfect order and clean at all times,
and they are pursuing that idea BY
putting it into effect at the Opelou-
sas plant. They wisely and rightfully
think that there is no excuse for the
plant to be dirty and greasy and a
place of drudgery rather than one OF
employment for the many who attend
to the machinery and furnish water
and lights for the patrons. Believing
this they have not hesitated to put
forth some herculean efforts in bring,
ing the present order out of the past
few months choas and as natural re-
suit the plant is in perhaps better phy'
sical and mechanical condition than
ever before known since its estab
ment.

TATER' MEN GET
BUSY PREPARING
FOR GREAT CROP
Sicily and Sibille Depart for
West Looking Over i.
Markets
EXPECT TO HANDLE
FIRST CAR IN JULY
Big Curing Plant Ready to
Handle the Biggest Crop
Grown in Parish

Simon Sicily and John Sibille left
Sunday for a tour through the west,
taking a birdseye and first-hand view
of the markets calling for sweet pota-
toes. While on this trip they will
make arrangements with brokers to
handle the crop of this parish which
they expect to handle through their
up-to-the-minute curing plant recently
constructed in Opelousas.
Both Messrs. sibille and Sicily have
been busy the past few months get
ting the plant erected and ready for
use They have not spared expense
preparing for the immense crop that
St Landry farmers will produce this
year. and when the sweets begin to
roll in the producers will find Simon
Sicily and John Sibille ready for their
reception and with place to store
and cure their potatoes and after
wards ship them to markets ready to
absorb them.
Before leaving, Mr.. Sicily stated
that the crop this year would be the
largest ever grown in st. Landry and
that his firm expected to handle the
first carload early in July-quite the
earliest ever known in this section.
They stated that they would leave
nothing undone to satisfy their farm
er patrons as to storage, curing and
sale at the best possible prices OBJ
tainable. They are keeping posted as
to markets and prices and as they
have stated before they are of the
opinion that the great state of Texas
offers the best markets for the Louis
lana potatoes and as there is soma
advantage in the matter of nearness
to this producing center, and the turth
er advantage as to lower freight
rates, all potatoes grown in st. Landry
should find ready sale in our neigh
boring commonwealth without q
search for possible and maybe tickle
markets far removed from this terri
tory.
Some months ago, in discussing thF
sweet potato situation as it exists 10
cally. Mr.. Sicily and Mr.. sibiile
strongly urged the farmers OF this
parish to plant heavily Of this impor
4ant crop Their advice has no douDi

Messrs. Sicily and Sibille stated IL
the former interview that they Woul'
nnlv handle the famous Porto Ricai
vans and advised their farmer 'snd'
to plant no other variety. The Port'
Ricans have gained remarkable req
utation all over the south and wes
IN a remarkably short time and to
day they threaten to displace all 9th

TWO CAfDB z E
FOR GA$:' PLACE
VACANCY IN CITY COUNCIL TO
BE FILLED BY APPOINTMENT
MADE BY GOVERNOR

Two candidates, G. Percy Dunbar
for the position in the city council
and Walter Sanders, are applicants
from the fourth ward made vacant by
the death OF John w. Clark. Both
candidates have gotten busy and are
securing signatures to their petitions
to the governor asking for the appoint
ment as alderman OF the fourth ward
of this city.
Mr.. Dunbar was alderman from
that ward before and was defeated by
Mr.. Clark in the last municipal pri.
mary. He has had considerable ex-
perience as an alderman and his
friends are backing his candidacy to
the limit.
Mr.. Sanders is practically lifelong
resident of the ward and is accounted
one of the sterling young men Of this
city. While he has had no exper'
ence whatever in the capacity OF OH
ceholder still his friends insist that
if he secures the appointment he will
demonstrate that he is capable Of
holding down the job in first-class
manner
The filling of the vacancy is up ta
the governor as the unexpired portion
of the term is for less than one yeaI
and under the law where a vacancy
is for less than one year Of an unex
pired term the governor makes the
selection, thus saving the people the
expense Of holding an election.
It was stated that Lawrence B. San
doz, young attorney of the local bar
would also be an applicant for the ap'
pointment but this is denied and as
matters now stand only Messrs. Dun
bar and Sanders will have their hats
in the ring for the position.

Adjourned Meeting of City

BIG FIGHT PROMISED
WHEN UNLIMBERS
Charges Allege Leaving
City Without Permission
of Executive

The Jordan matter is in the lime
light again, and healthy row of no
mean proportions is in sight be-
fore "finis" is written under the case.
At the meeting of the board, Tues
day night of last week, charges
against the superintendent we're pre-
ferred by the mayor and the discus
sion that arose was heated and poign-
ant, much to the edification of the
large audience of spectators gather
ed without the rail when the board
of aldermen took up the discussion
Of the much wrangled over position
of superintendent of the electric light
and water plant. The city attorney
was asked for an opinion and he stat
ed he would furnish the board with
written one at a later date but
would not attempt to give an opinion
on such weighty question without
first investigating the law bearing on
the subject
Legal representatives of Mr.. Jor-
dan were on hand in full force, and
their several speeches before the
board was full notice that they did
not propose to go to sleep at the post
and let their clients cause go beg.
ging for want of champion.
The discussion waxed hot at times
as question and answer we're flash
ed back and forth between the parti
cipants in the wordy fray. 1t cooled
down, however, and with matureE
judgment the council finally agreed
to defer action until later. and to
that end the meeting adjourned to
convene last Friday night and resume
the question OF what to do with. Jor.
dan"
Friday night but three Of the al
dermen were present. Mr.. Clark'a
death created vacancy in the fourth
ward, and Alderman Daniel Of the sec
ond ward was not on hand, hence the
aldermen from at-large, Mr.. Nouret;
from the first ward, Mr.. Dejean; and
from the third ward, Mr.. Sicily, with
the mayor, represented the city ad
ministration.
Owing to inability the newspaper
reporter was not on hand, SO what
information that is published came
second hand. It is stated that there
was an executive" session Of the
board behind closed doors and whe1
the aldermen resumed the open meet
ing everything about the Tnunicipa
machinery ran as smoothly as the
works Of weII-made clock.
The opinion of the city attorney
was handed in and duly considered
and then board got down to cases
and to summarize its actions one has
but to state that the trial Of Mr.. Jor
dan was fixed for Thursday, July 21
and pending that trial he stands sus
pended from office as superintendent
of the power plant.
interviewed Saturday morning Mr.
Jordan stated that the action Of tht
borad did not surprise him in th'
least, but he expressed a full inten
tion Of fighting the matter out Of the
end, court procedure and all, and
that until the supreme court of thc
state rules him out he will not res
