In loving remembrance of my dear hus
band, David H. Watson, who passed away
one year ago to-day, June 16, 1900.
Farewell, farewell, my husband, dear,
have spent one sad and lonely year,
You left me with an aching heart.
The day that you and did part,
My heart is sad and lonely yet,
My grief too deep to tell,
But time will come to me so soon
When I may with thee dwell.

President Loubet to Americans.

The first magazine article written by NJ
Loubet since he became President of the
French Republic will appear in The
Saturday Evening Post for July 13. This
important paper, entitled Young Men and
the Republic, after touching upon our
pleasant relations with the French Re-
public, continues with significant refer
ence to the attitude of France toward the
other Powers. The mastery summing
up with which the article concludes is a
fine expression of the strong republican
spirit which reigns in France to day.
Young Men and the Republic was writ
ten expressly for The Saturday Evening
Post, and will appear in no other maya
zine. The illustrations are reproductions
of private photographs taken by President

GULF PLAINS FORM A VAST OIL
FIELD
Professor Hill, of Geological Sur
vey, Enthusiastic Over the
Region,


Robert I. Hill, of the United
States Geological Survey, who has
just returned to Washington from
Beaumont, Texas, the great oil
field recently discovered in the
Southwest, will within the next
welve months be producing more
petroleum than all the rest of the
world. He says:
Endless quantities Of the olea
ginous fluid are being fond all
along the littoral plains of The
Southwest, and there is no telling
how much petroleum the great
field will be producing within the
next year. It's my opinion that
that section Of the country will
yield more oil than is now pro
duced by all the oil producing
countries of the world. 1t is true
that this oil is chiefly fuel oil, but
by treatment a large percentage of
it can be converted into illuminat-
ing oil. 1t will give an impetus
to manufacturing in that part of
the country that the most san
guine cannot now conceive, and it
will, for all time, solve the problem
Of fuel, which has operated so
greatly in the past against develop
ing the industrial conditions of the
great Southwest.
Oil is Everywhere.
sIt is my belief that oil will be
found all along the costal plains
of the Gulf of Mexico, including
the Mississippi Sound. All that
belt of country along the sound,
east of New Orleans, extending as
far as Mobile, being of a sandy
character, should contain oilthrough
it is possible that 1gushers' such as
| have been found at Beaumonts will
be few and far between.
'sOll will be found, however, and
| it will be found In paying quanti
| ties The same statement will
apply to Southwestern Louisiana
from New Orleans west, where the
| surface indications are all similar
to those that obtain in Southeas
i tern Texas. Oil will, in my opin
ion, be found as far west as Tampi
co, Mexico.
1.-The greatest activity to-day il
the Beaumont oil fields seems to b,
confined to what is known a.
ESpindletop Hill,' about one mil'
in area. The oil prospectors ar,

this little patch of land, through
all the land bordering on the coas
and most of it within radius o
miles and miles from the storm

A Record Of the DoinSs in the Oil District,
Here and Elsewhere.
IHE HEART BEATS OF THOSE WHO ARE STRICKEN
WITH THE GENERALLY PREVAILING COIL FEVER.
EMMER WILL BORE.

Recently, in these columns, we
published a statement OF the condl-
tons existing IN the clay pits at the
brickyard of Mr.. John Emmer.
showing what appeared to be good
indications of oil finding its way to
the surface. AT that time Mr..
Emmer was disposed to make such
arrangements with prospectors as
would be Of great advantage to them
and profitable in the event of the
discovery of oil. The excitement
at other points then and now being
developed oyer-shadowed the advan-
tages offered here.
Mr.. Emmer's faith in the trea-
sures that may be stored below the
surface of his property has deter
mined HIM not to wait. He has
completed arrangements and con-
tract with Mr.. Frank Blanc for the
building Of derrick at the BRICK
yard. There Is aheady plenty of
boiler capacity at the point. The
water supply Is adequate to every
need. He has on hand a quantity of
threaded pipe. The o1ly expense,
therefore, necessary to determine
conditions below, is that Of the der
rick, pump, iael and labor.
The derrick will be constructed
at once and the work Of drilling
will be commenced in a short while
The progress of this well will be
watched with keen interest and an.
ticipation by the entire community.

OIL AT H0UMA EXCITEMENT
RUNS HIGH.

Houma, La, May 26-Early this
morning the drillers who were at
work on Terrebonne plantation,
near the Terrebonne refinery, 10
miles southeast of this city discover
ed a real gusher at depth of 11as
| feet.
The news was brought TO Houma
as fast as a horse could run and
within an hours time the place was
alive with excitement. One of the
local oil companies sold 10000
shares of stock before noon and
then refused to sell any more.
Land values were doubled and tre-
bled, even quadrupled before II
O'Clock. No one has land for sale
now at any price.
A large number of business men
from Houma at once left for the
new we'll to see the Louisiana gush-
er with their own eyes. The news
Is being sent to friends who have
become financially interested in

lubrlcatlng purposes as well as for

by the messenger.

Since writing the above the
writer visited the site on Wednes-
day afternoon. The derrick at that
time had been completed and the
work of boring had been started.
All things being ready the pump
was started on Tuesday afternoon.
Section after section of pipe wss

and while the water was stopped
to add another section Of pipe the

erected and with the aid of wind
