' EW ORLEANS, the metropolis of the South and Mississippi Valley, and the Winter Capital of America, is a city of 375,000 inhabitants, and was founded by Bienville, a French- Canadian, in 1718. It lies 110 miles from the mouths of the Mississippi River, and com- prises the entire Parish of Orleans, with an area of 196% square miles. It has a harbor ranging in depth from over 200 to 35 feet: thirty miles of wharves, a part of which are covered by municipally- owned, modern steel sheds, and a public belt railroad, which, free of charge, transfers commodities to and from railroads. It is the largest coffee, banana, sugar, cotton, rice, sulphur and salt market in the United States, and, by reason of its geographical location, enjoys un- usual rail and ocean transportation facilities. Its population is prin- cipally American, with a large number of French-speaking inhabitants — the Creoles of Louisiana, who live, for the most part, in that section lying below Canal street, known as the French, or Creole quarter. There are over fifty thousand miles of railways with terminals at New Orleans, with other lines under construction, and one of the largest car-repair plants in the United States is located here. The grain elevators at New Orleans are among the largest at any seaport, and the largest sugar refinery in the world costing $4,000,000, has just been completed. Its street-railway system is one of the best in the United States, and practically universal transfers are given. Its hotels are modern and ample, and some $4,000,000 have recently been spent on two new ones, now opened. The proximity of New Orleans to numerous great natural products adds immensely to its prestige as a port and manufacturing center. The largest sulphur and salt mines in the world are less than 200 miles distant in Louisiana, and in the same section are located the immense sugar and rice planta- tions and the great oil fields. Only a short distance further, in Louisiana. are the greatest long-leaf yellow- pine forests now the lake in city park. 26767? y:\v ORLEANS. MABDI GBAS PAEADE OX CANAL STBEET. remaining in America. At Bogalusa. in St. Tammany parish, north of New Orleans, is the largest and most modern saw mill in the world. Cotton is grown practically throughout the State. The recent discovery of natural gas in Northwest Louisiana, near Shreveport, credited by government experts to be the largest proven field in America, gives additional potency for wealth and manufac- turing development. This gas will be brought by pipe line to New Orleans, a distance of 352 miles. Other gas fields, only a few miles distant, but as yet un- developed, give promise of future great supplies. There are immense stores of lignite in Louisiana, while, iron, coal, marble and build- ing stone are being de- veloped and will ulti- mately be produced in commercial quantities.

The Panama Canal is 600 miles nearer New Orleans than to any other large seaport, and an ever-growing trade is being developed with Cuba, Mexico and Central America. New Orleans is the headquar- ters of the Twelfth United States Railway Mail Division, and the home of other import- ant Governmental De- partments. One of the two greatest steel float- ing dry docks in the world is located here, and the United States Naval Station and Re- pair Shops at New Or- leans are the most modern of any in the United States, The assistant purchasing agency of the Isthmian Canal Commis- sion is located here. From a health standpoint New Orleans compares favorably with any large city of the United States, the resident white death-rate aver- aging less than fifteen per thousand. Three great municipal im- provements, are in a measure, responsible for this excellent showing — drainage, sewerage and pure water. The first has been in opera- tion some seven years. and dry excavations to the depth of fifteen to twenty feet are now possible; whereas, until the installation of the the lawn — newcomb college.

The sewerage is conveyed into the river far below the city, while the water for domestic consump- tion is taken from the Mississippi at the up- per end of the city, passed over filtration beds, chemically treat- ed and distributed to the mains. The water is soft and of unusual purity. In addition to the health feature, the inauguration of this new water system will re- sult in a diminishing insurance rate, due to the high pressure avail- able for fire protection. These public utilities are owned and operated by the City of New Orleans, and, in addition, the city owns and operates its own street- repair plant. All railroad and steamship lines give a free stopover of ten days at New Orleans on all classes of tickets, while the Progressive Union pays the fares of merchants from Louisiana and numerous surrounding States, to and from New Orleans, who make their purchases here, mak- ing New Orleans a great jobbing market. Socially New Orleans is delightful; and, by reason of this, and her historic interest, cosmopolitanism, foreign characteristics, her famous cuisine, her Mardi Gras and manifold amusements, New Orleans is known as the "Winter Capital of America." Motor-boating and y a c h ti n g on Lake Pcntchartrain may be enjoyed all - year - around, due to the open winters; and in summer-time, New Or- leans is cooler than New York, Chicago and many of the large cities far to the North. This is due to being surrounded by rivers and large lakes, and ihe near proximity of French opera house. -YEN* ORLEAXx. mTTTTT? uSiiUiililj ::::: i ———--— ik OLD ST.

There are several large public libraries, five large metropolitan American daily papers, and one French daily, 112 public schools and kindergartens, many private schools and six universities. The chief of the latter are the Tulane University, for boys, and Newcomb College, for girls, both under the same administration. Tulane is specially noted for its medical department, while its academic, law, engineering and technical divisions are develop- ing rapidly. From any point of view New Orleans is a city of destiny, and with deep water from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and the open- ing of the Panama Canal, will become a port of tremendous power in the commercial economy of the world.

Immediately adjacent to New Orleans, and within reach either by rail or boat, within an hour to two hours, are the beautiful lake and gulf coast resorts. The "Ozone Belt," on the farther side of Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, in St. Tammany Parish, is noted as being the second healthiest spot in the United States, and is particu- larly beneficial for tubercular and kidney troubles, by reason of its pine-laden atmosphere and its mineral waters. Covington, Abita Springs and Mandeville are towns within this Ozone Belt. RECLAMATION OF LANDS. The reclamation of swamp lands in Louisiana, particularly in the immediate vicinity of New Orleans, has opened up to habitation and cultivation some of the richest soil in America, and has had its in- evitable beneficial effect upon health. Conspicuous in this has been the consequent development of truck-gardeuing, with the im- mense New Orleans market at hand, and the entire North to draw on, particu- larly during the win- ter season, when fruits and vegetables are produced here months in advance of the northern crop.

New Orleans has spent $28,000,000 in completing one of the most elaborate sys- tems of sanitation in the world. The huge water-filtration plant gives to the residents a crystal, soft and wholesome water. The drainage system has dried out the sur- face soil, and huge skyscrapers, w i t h deep cellars, are to- day standing in New Orleans. The sewerage system discharges into the Mississippi River far below the city, and all three of these great public utilities are owned and operated by the City of New Orleans for the benefit of her popu- lation. The waterworks plant, one of the best in the United States, is the largest of its type in the world. It comprises a system of sedimenta- tion, coagulation and filtration through American rapid filtration system. There are two pumping stations of 80,000,000 gallons capacity per day, with an average pressure of 75 pounds, and a maximum of 100 pounds, while across the river there is a 4,000,000 gallon miniature independent system. There are 500 miles of distribution mains and pipes and active filtration was begun February, 1909. The cost of the waterworks and filtration plant is $7,000,000. The sewerage sys- tem has been in opera- tion since October, 1905, and of the 375 miles projected, 305 are completed. There are two main pumping stations and five sub- stations. The cost when completed, will be $5,500,000.

The area drained is from the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain, and from the upper protection levee to the lower parish line. There is a central power plant generating electricity for the oper- ation of seven pumping stations. There are 103 miles of canals, twenty- three miles of tide-level out-fall canals and eighty miles of low- level canals. Of the latter, twenty miles are masonry - lined, five miles are wood-lined, remainder being open excavations. The lat- ter will eventually be masonry-lined, and in the built-up areas, will be covered. A total of 45 per cent of the drain- age work has been completed. THE CABILDO.

It had its origin in the custom in clden times of Lou- isiana's planters and merchants looking to France, their mother coun- try, for their fashions, amusements and literature; one of the results of which was the introduction, in 1827. of the first grand street pro- cession of masqueraders in New Orleans by a number of young Creole gentlemen, some of them just returned from finishing a Parisian edu- cation. This was followed ten years later by one on a much larger and grander scale on the Mardi Gras of 1837; and from these the Carni- val method of festivity may be said to have been fully launched in the Crescent City.

BATHING OX THE GULF COAST. XIP-AXD-Tl'CK. To the un- initiated the menu of the dishes served at this dinner would be mean- ingless save for the reputation enjoyed by the cooks of New Orleans who cooked it. A better idea, how- ever, may be gathered from the following re- cipes gained from the celebrated '"Court of Cook s." who parted with their inmost secrets. These are the component parts of their best dishes. There is an art about the thing that cannot be reduced to writ- ing, but, by following di- rections closely, any good cook who can appreciate Latin temperament may produce any of the dishes given below with a fair degree of success. Bouillabaisse. Six slices of red snap- per, six slices of redflsh. one-half bottle of white wine, one-half lemon, six la lire, fresh tomatoes, three onions, one herb bouquet, three cloves of garlic, three bay leaves, three sprigs of thyme, three sprigs of parsley, six allspices, two tablespoon- fuls of olive oil. one good, strong pinch of saffron : salt, pepper and cayenne to taste. This is the dish that drew from Thackeray that famous tribute to Creole cookery : "In New Orleans you can eat a bouillabaisse, the like of which was never eaten in Marseilles REGATTA OX LAKE POXTCHARTRAIX. XEW ORLEAXS. 43 or Paris." The reason is clear ; for in those old French cities the bouillabaisse is made from the fish of the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, notably the sturgeon and the perch combined, while in New Orleans it is made from those matchless fish of the Gulf of Mexico, the red snapper and the redfish (poisson rouge). It will be noticed that it takes two kinds of fish to make a bouillabaisse. The first bouillabaisse was made in Marseilles, and the old Creole tradition runs that it was the discovery of two sailor fishermen, who were disputing as they were in the schooner as to the proper way of cooking a sturgeon and a perch combined. One succeeded in making a delightful dish that would have gladdened the heart of any old French "bon vivant." The other failed. The successful one enthusi- astically offered to teach his friend, and as the latter was following the directions Implicitly and the finishing touches were being given to the dish, the teacher, see- ing that the critical and important moment had come when the fish must be &?• ^Sgagfegg ^^liSi^^^l^ TENNIS ON THE SHOBE OF MISSISSIPPI SOUND. taken from the fire or it would be spoiled If cooked a moment longer, cried out, bringing down his hand emphatically : "Et quand ca commence a bouillir — baisael'' Hence, the name "bouillabaisse" which was given to the dish from that moment. From all portions of Europe people go to Marseilles to eat a "bouilla- baisse" on the seashore. The taste of the bouillabaisse still lingered in the mouths of the old French- Creole settlers of New Orleans. The famous old chefs sought two fish from the waters of the Mexican Gulf that might be used in the making of the dish with a reasonable hope of success. They chose the red snapper and the redfish. The result is told in Thackeray's tribute. The Creole bouillabaisse, with the modifi- cations and improvements that early ingenuity suggested, is a dish that was the standing offering in ante-bellum days to every distinguished Parisian or foreigner that visited New Orleans. Its reputation is sustained by the Creole cuisinieres of our own day. It is made as follows : First cut off the head of the red snapper and boil it in about one and a half quarts of water, so as to make a fish stock. Put one sliced onion and a herb bou- quet, consisting of thyme and bay leaf, into the water. When reduced to one pint, 44 NEW ORLEANS.

Take six slices of red- fish and six slices of red snapper of equal sizes and rub well with salt and pep- per. Mince three sprigs of thyme, three sprigs of parsley, three bay leaves and three cloves of garlic, very, very fine, and take six allspice and grind them very fine, and mix thor- oughly with the minced herbs and garlic.

Chop two onions very fine and add them to the heating oil. Lay the fish slice by slice in the pan, and cover, and let them "etouffe," or smother, for about ten minutes, turning once over so t_iat each side may cook partly. Then take the fish out of the pan and set the slices in a dish. Pour a half bottle of white wine into a pan and stir well. Add six large fresh tomatoes, sliced very fine, and let them boil well. Then add half a lemon, cut in very thin slices, and pour over a pint of the liquor in which the head of the snapper was boiled. Season well to taste with salt, pepper and a dish of cayenne. Let it boil until very strong and till reduced almost one- half ; then lay the fish, slice by slice, apart one from the other, in the pan, and let boil five minutes.
