A Trust" Which Is Popular.

There is a great deal Of indignation
felt against trusts The Sugar Trust. the
Standard Oh! Trust. the Welsh Tin Plate
Trust, the English Salt Trust, and other
combinations of the kinds, are vigorous
ly denounced, and it is subject Of con-
troversy whether they are more trusts
in English than America. and whether
protection or free trade fosters them.
But there is one form Of trust against
which no one has anything to say. That
is the trust the public reposes in Hoods

The entertainment and ball
which was to be given last Sun
day by the Excelsior Brass Band,
was postponed to tomorrow on

their entertainment will be a sue
cess in every particular.
The business done in this
town for the month of December
was very large, in fact larger than
for many years past. Business in
this town in every line is very
brisk. All are doing a good pay
ing business. Those who adver.
tise judiciously in the MEssEN-
GER as a matter of course get the
biggest share of the public's pa
tronage.
We believe it would be a good
idea to have the streets of our
town named at each corner 80 as
to acquaint our people with their
own town. Very few of our citi-
zens know the name of our streets,
and it is very difficult at times to
locate certain places in town, SIM
ply because our streets Are not
nance.

work can this early be seen in the
field, which is certainly a good in
dication.
If the citizens of this town
and parish will give the encour-
agement and assistance to Mr..
Robert Martin, ne will organize a
company and put up g refinery to
take the coming crop. Now if
you really want a refinery call on
Mr.. Martin and tell him what you
can and will do toward helping
put up this needed enterprise.

OIL CLAIMS SETTLED.
Richard Grid Against tho California Oil
Company.

Richard Grid Against tho California Oil
COMPANY.
In the United States circuit court yes
terday, Judge Ross rendered lengthy
decision in the case OF Richard Grid and
g. G. Udell against the California Oil
company.
The suit grew out of disputed claims
in the Sespe oil region in Ventura coun-
ty, the case being transferred from the
superior court OF that county.
1t seems that the California Oil COM
pany applied for the disputed lands,
which cover about 80 acres in area.
Grid and Udsll opposed the application
on the ground that they had expended
even more on the property than re.
CURED by statute to entitle an applicant
to obtain a patent, and were therefore
entitled to those portions claimed by
the oil company.
The case was decided in favor of the
California Oil company, whose claim in
the disputed region was limited to %
acres. Costs were assessed to the de-
PENDANTS.
John D. Pope was attorney for the oil
company.
