Mr.. Auguste Ledoux is inves-
tigating the we'll system of irriga-

ting the system if found practical
BILE and satisfactory. Mr.. Eugene
y. Olivier, is corresponding with
we'll drilling firms with the
view Of buying a well drill outfit,
which will give him the facility of
making the wells at a price with
in the reach of all. We are plea
sed of this move, as we have not
the least doubt that the we'll sys-
tenn of irrigation is practicable,
and will give a chance to all the
small farmers, with the assistance
of gasoline engine, to cultivate
a few acres of rice, THUS diversity
ing their crops. We believe that
the small farmers making a few
acres of good rice. free from red
rice will command a good price
for seed, as the report shows that
eighty per cent. of the rice grown
in the rice section of Louisiana is
red rice, therefore, seed rice is
sure to command a high price.

with gun in his hands. He cautiously
opened the street door and peeped out,
expecting to see some person on guard,
but finding no one he slipped up to the
bank window and saw a man walking
around inside. He raised the gun and
pointed it at the burglar, but just then
Rodgers turned so Hartwick could see
who it was, and at the same time Rodg-
ers saw man at the window pointing a
gun at him. Rodgers has resumed his
natural color again. This was case

pin on one OF the large twin engines at

the piston rod through both ends of the
cylinder and tore off an end OF the cyl
inder bed. Pieces Of the broken cylin-
der and bed flew around promiscuously,
but fortunately there was no one In line
with the flying iron. Engineer A. p.
Weitzel and Foreman o. Shurtlef were
standing near the engine when the pis-
ton banged through the cylinder, and
although not hurt they were more or
less frightened. Fireman Crotzer had
been standing back Of the engine filling
an oil cup about two minutes before the
pin broke. All three gentlemen can
consider that they had narrow escape
from sudden call into the Eternal
Land.

Large Clay Plant.

Arthur O'Donnel, the well known
lumberman, is making preparations to
start a ten thousand dollar clay plant
at Camp Run, four miles west OF Reyn-
oldsville, this season. Mr. O'Donnel
proposes to put in good plant and will
make various kind of tiling. While en-
gagged in the lumber business at Camp
Run Mr.. O'Donnell built dozen dwell
ing houses and an Office there, and now
that all the lumber in that section has
been worked up, he will start the plant
which will enhance his property at
Camp Run. There is an abun-
dance of good clay in and around Camp
Run for making tiling, and there is no
reason why the plant should not have
such demand for its production that
the capacity of the plant would have to
be doubled In a year or two.
The large clay plant at Camp Run
and the enlargement of the brick plant
at Meredith, means more business for
Reynoldsville merchants.
