South Louisiana Fair, October 7-1E
Making Extensive improvements.

H. Schaff & Son are having con-
siderable improvements made to
their plumbing and sheet-iron shop
in Railroad avenue. A concrete
driveway was built on the north side
of the building leading from the
paved street to the rear, for the
convenience Of their truck and wagon.
The front of the structure is being
remodelled. Two large show windows
are being installed with plate glass
fronts, one or either side of the main
entrance which will be located in the
center In one of the windows there
will be placed on exhibition all kinds
Of plumbing fixtures and material,
and the other will contain a display
Of the tin and sheet-iron workers
art. The improvements will add
materially to the beauty and conve-
nience of the building and will en-
able Messrs Schaff & Son to show to
advantage their wares and the pro-
duets of their skill and industry.

PROGRESS ON NEW LEVEE.
Work on Road Advancing-Only Fou.
More Houses to Move.

Considerable progress has been
made on the new levee in course of
construction on the river at the lower
end of and below Faubourg la Pipe.
There is a big force at work with
plows, scoops on wheels, wagons and
AN enormous quantity of earth Is
.moved every day.
Four-mule plows break up the old
'lcvee, and scoops come along, gather
the lose earth and carry it to the
new levee where it is levelled off by
men with drags made especially for
that purpose. On the batture between
the old levee and the river, an earth
loading machine is at work. The ma
chine which consists Of ploW ana
elevator carrier is drawn by Il cater
pillar tractor of great power. The
loader is mounted on four wheels.
AS it is drawn by the tractor, the
plow digs into the earth which it
throws on the carrier which in turn
carries it to the wagons. The wagons
are driven along side of the loading
machine, and as each one is loaded
| it is driven away and another takes
| its place. The tractor loading ma
chine and wagons move at an even
and steady gait going up and down
over a certain space and the work is
very fast. The capacity of the load
ing machine is equal to large num-
Der of men and in this particular it
is a great labor saver.
| Work on the new road is also con-
siderably advanced. The grading
has been completed from the lower
end to the old Sims homestead. Wash
ed and pit gravel have been laid over
a stretch of several hundred feet at
the lower end, and pit gravel has
been spread over several hundred
hundred feet more and there remain
a few hundred feet that has
no gravel at all. The work of cutting
and removing the trees in the path
of the new levee and road is also
|going on steadily and fast, and this
part of the undertaking should be
completed in the next few days.
During the week the large >resi-
dence on the old Dugas plantation
was moved back to its new location
and the moving of the home of Mrs.
Sidney Chauvin was completed. There
now remains only four buildings to
be moved out of the path of the new
levee and road, as folloUs Mrs. Chas
Jambois, Mrs. Edgard Templet, Ce-
celien Esneault and John B. Martin
Work on these will begin in the course
Of the next few days and it is ex-
pected that by the end Of next week
} they will all be in their new emplace.

THE MAN WHO CAME BACK
Thrilling story of Woman for the
Man She Loves.

"The Man Who Came Back" which
will come to the Theatre Wilbert,
Plaquemine, Monday, October 2, for
an engagement Of one night only, has
all the vices, champagne and gin;
and opium smoke; faith
er's name is forged and wild passion
flares. But they are distributed, are
these many vices with their rigid par
ticularity. The gilded youth draws
the line at drawing on a pipe in a
chop joint" And although a girl
comes an addict to the long bamboo,
she has otherwise held herself
straight.
Geographically calculated, about
twenty thousand miles are riotless-
ly covered by the young man in pro-
gressive debauchery, and then, sud
denly, the hero of "The Man Who
Came Back is redeemed under glory

opium en-, may now endure all its

the pipe. Runaway boys who fee
the lure Of jute petticoats and genera
wickiwackiness of Honolulu have ar
opprtunity of tryout without the
Pacific toss in rocky boats. And there
are other advantages, moral and de
cisive, in this crimson travelogue oil

In the cast of ''The Man Who Came
