PUEBLO, Col, June 6-Flood

veys the havoc of the most disastrous
flood in the history of the west. An
accurate estimate of the loss of life
and property damage is impossible

suffering from exposure every effort
is being turned to alleviating of suf

Restoration of the city to even an
approach of normal conditions is a
matter of weeks. Levees must be re-
paired before the business section
can be cleared of water.

of repetition of the flood had pass

of bodies found were approximately
100 basing the report on personal in
vestigation.

THE problem OF American ships
has been that. only toe often 1t Is
necessary for the ships to return in
ballast. The British, a free trade
nation, on the other hand, until re-

Iuncccupied space in their outward

countries. and for bunkering. re-
turning with cargoes of commodi-
ties from foreign countries-car-
goes partly for home consumption
/ and partly for transshipment to
other countries - transshipments
made without any regulatory prac
tees that result in serious delays.
This. too. because of free port n
was equally true in the case OF Ger
many before the war.
The establishment of free zones
| for America has been under discus
sion for many years. Shipping men.
naturally. have been strongly in IA
vor of it. They take the position
| that the principal advantage to the
| merchant ships is the ability to
bring in full cargoes, or at least
larger cargoes than present condi-
lions allow. the bulk of which will

bottoms TO other ports in connection

the belief that we should engage in
foreign trade may in the course or
time, result in a marked modiica-
tion of our tariff laws, and this may
not be necessary IL we can maintain
our foreign trade and our merchant
marine through the medium OF
these free zones.
"Originally the propaganda Tor
foreign trade ones. free from GUS
toms duty. was limited in its discus
sion TO about three ports on the
Atlantic coast and one or two on the
| Pacific. The bill as presented. how
ever .contemplates the possibility OF
the establishment of foreign trade
zones in each of the important ports
of entry. This is a great stride in
the right direction. for, If all of
this foreign transshipment were to
lie done in the ports of New YORK:
Philadelphia and New Orleans ana
in only one or two ports on the a
lcifc. the congestion of traffic to and
from these ports would place an ad-
d"itional burden on rail terminals al
| ready overloaded. and would result
in an uneconomic transportation
with the back country of merchan-
disc intended for domestic consump-
ltion.
In other words, a fairly general
! distribution of these free n

r.eople and not of unfair profit to a
limited number.

the adoption of a free zone policy
that the protectionist, the ship OPP

disc will be passed from the zones
through the customs house instead OF
holding the ship until all the mer-
chandise is checked and customs
paid.
1T is to be recognized that ships
other than those under our flag VIII
have the same advantage in our
ports, but it is fair to assume that
Ships under our own flag through
a period of time, will touch more
often at our ports than ships un-

at least. there would be a factor

BY LOCAL CITIZENS.
Tennis Courts Prove Great Attraction Among All
The Students.

The Board of Directors of the New
Iberia High School Athletic Associa-
ton last week amended the ruling
that membership in the Association
could be secured by the payment of
the weekly dues of five cents Stud
ents already enrolled were given a
limited time to pay up the balance on
the fee fo one dollar in order to re
main "A recognized member of the
Association. New members were re
quired to pay the full amount of one
dollar in order to obtain the privi-
leges of the Association.
BY far the greatest incentive to
membership in the Association has
been the tennis courts now fully COM
pleted. Heretofore athletics have
been confined to a privileged few
who were on the varsity and Scrub
teams of basketball for the boys and
girls. The majority of students had
to be onlookers.
For several years it has been the
desire of the school to secure tennis
courts because this form of sport is
practiccd by many who never attain
proficiency in the competitive sports
which form part Of high school
life. However, due to the small size
of the campus, already crowded with
basketball courts and playground ap-
paratus, this remained but an idea in
the minds of all.
Benefactors Assist
Nevertheless this year the idea has
become reality due to the coopera-
ton of public-spirited citizens with
the Principal of the High School
The use of private property has been
extended to the students of the High
School. Permission was secured from

between the City Board of Trustees
and the government officials. ruling
has been received here this week to
the effect that this Corporation should
not be made to pay the war tax on
freight and express bills, and grant
ing them a refund of the amounts so
paid to date.
Commissioners of Finance Girard.
and Commissioner of Public propor.
ty Villermn. City Treasurer and CITY
Clerk, respectively, Thursday stated
that this refund will amount to ap.
proxlmately one thousand dollars.
We are informed that Mr.. G. A.
Barnes, local agent for the Southern
Pacific, has also received ruling Go
the same effect.
The process of checking UP the a
mount of the refund from the rail
roads and the express company is
now under way.
Uses Little Bayou Oil.
Several barrels of crude oil from
the Little Bayou well were purchased
by Commissioner Vilermin for use in
the Crude Oil Engine at the Power
Plant this week.
He reports that it gave good re-
suits and uniform satisfaction.
Oil experts claim that the oil pro-
duced in this field grades up with the
best in the United states, being sur
passed only by that found in the
Pennsylvania district.
If a convenient means Of trans
portation can be devised it Is prob
able that Mr.. Villermin may make
arrangements to use this home pro-
duet altogether.

His brother shot a gun at rabbit

Dugas fell, his feet becoming tangled
in the harness. and he was dragged
about the fields by the feet.
When the mules were finally stop

terrible condition. His ears were
torn off, both arms and one leg brok-

His death followed on the next
day, and he was buried in the Gene

OF this we might refer to the demand
from Ouachita for the resirnations

esting to know, also, if the decision
