BIG STREAM

The dredge Of the Atchafalaya-
Teche-Yermillion canal company is al
ready at work in dredging the un-
touched bank Of Bayou Teche from
Port Barre south for distance Of
slightly over fifty miles. The dredge
has not vet reached the railroa
trestle OF the Gulf Coast Lines.
a recent trip to tina neighborhood
showed the wonderful improvement
caused BY the preliminary dredging
done a year or two ago. the stream in
the bayou running at remarkable
rate. The company proposes to widen
and deepen the stream on the return
trip of the dredge, placing the water
way in such condition that it will be a
real live stream all the time and viii
be capable of furnishing water fol
irrigating many thousands OF acres q
rice fields along the stream. It is
though that after the work is finally
completed the stream viii accommo
date light-draft boats if such naviga
tion would prove a paying proposition
The canal company will rebuild al
traffic bridges on the bayou after the
dredge passes.
