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.

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

home of other import-

aging less than fifteen

provements, are in a

tion. 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."

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-

PURE WATER. SEWERAGE AND DRAINAGE.
HUTCHINSON MEMOBIAL, TULANE UNIVERSITY.
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.

drained is from the

and from the upper

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

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-

week and reaching its height on Mardi Gras Day. On the day
before Mardi Gras Day. .Monday, comes Rex. King of the Carnival, ac-
companied by his nobles and attendants in waiting, to his "much-be-
loved Capital." His proclamation, long before posted throughout the
country, and familiar to many, shows excellently the mock assumption
of regal power, and the spirit in which the festivities of Mardi Gras
are carried out and heartily received by the populace of New Orleans.
Rex usually, although not necessarily, makes his journey to the city
by way of the river on his "Royal Yacht," escorted by the "Royal
Flotilla" — which royal yacht and royal flotilla vary, according to his
whims, from private yachts to visiting war vessels of the United

is presumed, to King Co-

ball at the French Opera
House, is the elite affair of
the Carnival — "the essence
and pinnacle of interest in
all the ceremonies of Mar-
di Gras." At it the extrem-
est of full dress is exacted,
and the ladies are only al-
lowed to be seated during
the period preceding the
general dancing, the gen-
tlemen standing in the
background. First come
spectacular groupings, or
tableaux, of the costumed
maskers from off the floats
of the street parade, after
which the music strikes up
the first notes of the lanc-
ers. Then the maskers
leave the stage, each select-
ing from the dress circle
the lady of his choice, they
return with them to the
stage, where, led by the
King and Queen, they
dance the figures of the
old-time Southern lancers.
At its conclusion masks
and costumes disappear
and the general dancing
begins.

THE FRENCH QUARTER.
(Competent snides may be obtained by inquiring at hotels, railroad offices or
Progressive Union, Telephone Main 1099.)
To the visitor the French Quarter is naturally the most interesting.
The old quarter is bounded by the river, Canal. Rampart and Esplanade
avenue, and here are to be found the quaint and massive old French and
Spanish houses, the wide, paved courtyards with tropical vegetation and
flowers, the antique stores, famous restaurants, quaint shops possessed
by quaint people, nearly all speaking the French language in preference
to English.
Canal street is the dividing line between the French and American
Quarters. The French
is "downtown" — to the
north. This is due to
tbe fact that the Mis-
sissippi River, as it
passes the head of
Canal street, flows di-
rectly north. Hence the
residents speak of "up-
town" and "downtown"
instead of north and
south-a point well
worth remembering in
going about the city.
In the French
Quarter are located the
greater portion of the
historical buildings and
sites which are enumer-
ated elsewhere.
ANTIQUE SHOPS.
The young French
colony of New Orleans
attracted many of the
foremost families of
France, and they
brought with them
thousands of articles of
art, virtu and embellish-
ment of the nobles and their followers, who sought fame and additional
riches in the land of the Mexican Gulf.
Hundreds of families cherished their treasures as the only thing
remaining to tell of the days when La Belle France had been their
home, and to their children they bequeathed the gentle reminders of
bygone days, with the injunction to keep them forever. But time re-
moved the cherished traditions which, together with the growing needs

of the owners and the
wheels of fortune chang-
ing continually, brought a
large number of these
treasures into the hands
of second-hand dealers and
the showcases of the col-
lectors of antiques.
It is in the quaint old
French portion of the city
that the newcomer natur-
ally seeks the shops of the
dealers in odd things, and
it is here that they are
found. Not numerous, the
supply being small and the
antiques real, for there is
no factory making New
Orleans antiques. These
shops may be found in
Royal, Bourbon and Char-
tres streets, in the vicinity
of Canal street.
SHOPPING IN NEW
ORLEANS.
No city in the South
and few cities in America
boast finer opportunities to
gladden the feminine fan-
cy, for among the great
department and millinery
stores the variety is un-
ending. Importations are
largely direct from Paris,
many of the establishments
having permanent branches
there, and the modistes of
New Orleans are cele-
brated for their elegance
and style. The retail dis-
trict is principally along
either side of Canal street,
in the center of the city,
and within immediate
walking distance of all the
hotels.

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

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

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,

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

which the head of the snapper was boiled. Season well to taste with salt, pepper
