President's Report.
Tallulah, La., Oct. 11th, 1916.
To the Hon Board of Commissioners
for the Fifth Louisiana District. I
iGntlemen :
I beg to submit you herewith a pre- I I
IUlinary report of the general condi
tltd, of levees in the District.
I desire to state, that I have not
bad sufficient time silce my service t
began to inform myself, so as to give
ae a detailed report, so will ask your I
indulgence for the limited information I I
fartished.
I find levee work making good pro
gress where outfits have moved on
the work. Beginning at the upper end
of the levee system of our District, I r
Sond conditions:satisfactory until Hag
gaman is reached, til:. is being cared
for by Major Slattery, with a tempo
sary loop which is now under contract.
Atherton enlargement, under con
traet by Hercules Construction Co.,
Scaused considerable concern, as
tbe oontractor has failed to comply
with various promises made to put on
two machines. One outfit of 2.5 team
bU been at work and completed
about 35,00) yards.
Salem enlargement should be pushl
ed, and I have made every effort to'
et the contractors on it. Messrs
Bab and 8tansel promised to get on 2
this work by the 15th inst., with a
lrCe force and push it to completion. h,
bheeld they fail to comply with this -
piosise I would recommend that we
eavertase for teams to do this work.
Lower Cabinl Teele enlargement is
eorsed by Si teams, but is being de
lyed by scarcity of labor, notwith
stoeaing, have made fair progress *
daring the past month.
8e~d-Biggs slides and River Side
Bara is nearing completion and will
be completed in six weeks ieasily.
We have quite a long stretch of aR
leaky levee from Ione to Ashwood
tblat will be cared for by Major Caples. A
Oggettt levee: this levee will be Bi
mIaided by December 1st. B
Oottage IHome levee: this work is a.
ooveFed by a large force of teams and BI
will be finished on time. 'Fe
Wernicut levee enlargemnent should (
be ompleted by the 16th illnst. The Gc
Ashley levee enlargement and loop M
age progresuing favorably, work cov
qed by I8 teams and can finish by ,,I
Decumber 16th.
Deapr Park nitew levee: this work is
eovered by an oatfit of about35 teams,
poeSher outfit of about 25 teams is,
mow moving on the work.
elegere topping and slides: I have
mot as yet been able to secure a con- hi
Alr to do this work. de
ALlworbks on the levee with few ex- L,
qq~b·ms, are being hampered by the '
of labor. In many camps da
! Ifty per cent of the outflta are no
, seosieant of this labor problem. sti

The recent Fair, held at Tallulahb,
was an eye-opener to many people of
this parish, when they saw the mag
A. nlcent stock on exhibit, sd learned
Sthat a large per cent came from Temt
sas parish. We are leased to know'
that Tensas is rapidly forging to the
front in the live stock industry and
)IP bids fair to rival the Blue Grass re
glions of Kentucky and other States
that have so long held the honors in
the production of blooded stock. In
this connection, we are pleased to an
nounce,that several of out progressive
the planters made investments in fine
in cattle displayed at the Fair and are
ile, going more deeply than ever into the
live stock business. Among those
to who purchased high-bred cattle at
beI Tallulah recently were Messrs. David
,w- son & Rollins, who are collecting a
very handsome herd of registered
stock, which are being pastured on
"Maryland" plantation. The last ad
ditions made td the collection consist
of ten young thorough-bred cows and
two bulls, which bring the herd up to
26 head registered cattle, comprising
the "Blackbird and Pride" strain of
Aberdeen-Angus cross. In a few
years the Mexican boll wevil will have
ceased to be a vexation to our people,
as cotton will only be a side issue and
Iar no longer the one-staple crop of Ten
d sas parish.
