The oil prospect of st. Martin
parish is getting to be 80 tho
roughly advertised that large num-
bers of strangers are coming here
and in Breaux Bridge daily, and
all looking after oil lands. The
demand for the lands around the
'Anse La Butte section is so great
nothing less than 500 per acre
can touch any land in the imme-
diste surrounding of the oil secA
ton. We interviewed one of the
men who were present when Capt
Lucas bored at Anse La Butte.
and he told us that twice a vein Of
oil was struck within the five hum
dred feet bored, that would pro-
duce at least forty barrels of oil
per day, that the oil that flowed
out of the we'll in the proc ess of
boring covered q large bitches
with q layer of six inches of oil
which was picked up and put in
coal oil lamps, in its crude state,
and it burned in the lamps as well
as the refined oil.

Miss Mackenzie Sang Aboard an Am
erican ship In Foreign Waters.
While Miss Mackenzie was in Stock
holm, Sweden, she was the guest of the
American Consul. An American war
ship was anchored In the bay, and the
consul requested, as she was an Ameri-
can girl, that she sing an American
song to the. sailors. She gladly con-
sented, and after a slight rest aboard
the ship, she was escorted to the deck
where the whole crew were ssembled.
She stood upon chair, and her sweet
voice sang out the "Star Spangled Ban
ner." The day was quiet. with just a
gentle zephyr to carry the words Of
that patriotic ballad across the beauti-
full Scandinavian waters How the
boys in blue shouted. Their hearts
were pitched to the highest feeling of
they hadn't heard an Ameri-
can song since they left Columbia, and
when the cheered the echoes revibri-
ated across the hills and mountains of
that fair land Of the north.
Miss Mackenzie will sing at the Ly-
ceum next Wednesday evening. Tickets

education and agitation can we hope
for a better and brighter day. We
must study the art Of voting for our
own interests, and put men into office
who will abolish the wrongs OF the
poor, who know how to right the wrong
and who have been endowed by a gen.
erous and loving God, with the man
kind and honesty to act and talk in the
defence of the toiling millions who
sweat and groan UNDER a burden too
heavy to bear, mindful of heartaches
Of the mothers of the race: with some
thought for the millions of human be-
ings who live in garrets and cellars
unfit for the habitation of beasts of
burden; men who believe In the demo-
cracy Of the home. in nation of home
owners and not race Of tenants and
slaves. Sc here in Duluth there should
be a movement to get together each
Sunday afternoon in some large hall or
out in some green spot close to nature.
There, under the blue sky with heaven
for canopy let soul mingle with sould,
and learn how to civilize the heart and
brain. When we do, this earth will be
heaven, and we will be gods"
Mr.. richardson was frequently inter-
rupted by applause, and at the conclu-
sion Of his speech was given a vote of
thanks by the assembly.
The arrangements for the celebration
Of Labor Day was given some attention
by the assembly, and the action of the
committee in selecting Lakewood as the
point for the picnic was approved. The
Iron Rrange railroad gives a twenty
five cent rate and a. commission on
every ticket sold which was thought to
be quite generous. A resolution was
adopted providing that If the weather
is unpropitious for the picnic on, Labor
Day it be held the following Sunday,
on condition that the railroad grant a
similar rate for that day. An appro-
priation of 500 was placed at the dis
posal Of the arrangements committee
for necessary expenses.
Credentials were received from Ed.
Griffin and David. Clark, molders;
Peter Nelson, tailors; r. Ritcher, bak-
ers, and Edward Jennings, electrical
workers.
After the disposition Of 8 number of
routine matters the assembly elected
trustees and delegates to the Superior
Trades Assembly and also to the Build
ing Trades Council. Those selected
were: Trustees, J. w. Richardson,

Their Errors. .
The labor organization not only helps
those who belong to it, but 1t also helps
those who are not members. For even
those on the outside share to q greater
extent in the better wages, the shorter
hours and the more favorable condi-.
tions secured by the labor organiza-
tions. II unions or federations make
mistakes it must be remembered that
perfection is not to be expected in any
work OF human hands. The good done
by these organisations far outweieht
the errors which they have committed.
