The Cane Crop.

The report Of the progress of the
cane crop for the past week indl-
Gates that with but few exceptions
the several parishes where sugar is
produced have had propitious rains.
In some instances the precipitation
has been light and IN others heavy.
Taking it as whole the week has
been favorable and progress has
been made with the condition of
the crop improved. Our reports
reached us prior to the storm which
has prevailed during the latter part
of last week in the lower portion of
the state, and, therefore, do no,
cover definitely the effect resulting
therefrom. From what informatlofl,
however, we have been able to get
the storm has produced no damage
to the cane crop. The cane IN some
instances have been blown slightly
at an angle 1t is always an evl.
dence Of good crop that cane
should be blown down by such a
storm, as It then shows that the
cane are big enough to tall.
In the tropics all canes fall Of

therefore, Be said that the weet

E Tor Jones' proposition may
work well. 1t may be noted that
AvoYelles and st Landry, which
have become somewhat turbulent
of late, have been very cleverly ais
posed of by Br'er Sambola. The
proposed appor tionment takes from
the third the parishes of Ascension
and Ibervllle which are added to
the sixth district. This arrange.
ment would leave the third dlstrlct
population of 1913, 5s7 and the fol-
lowing parishes: Assumption,
iberia, Lafayette, Lafourche, ST.
Martin, St. Mary, Terrebonne.
Vermilion.
We are not able to say with what
degree of favor or disfavor Editor
Jones' plan will be met throughou,
the State. 1t is but natural to ex.
pect that the present congressme n
will oppose any apportionment
which will effect injuriously their
political interests. A plan which
will create the new district without
jeopardIzing the political existence
Of any one of Louisiana's congress

Mormons from Utah are soon to
build and operate sugar refinery
In Southern Alberta, Canada.
Tests which were made there some
time ago in the cultivation of beets
disclosed the fact that the Alberta
beets contained 25 per cent more
sachacarlne matter than Utah beets.
This fact attracted the attention
of Utah capitalists with the result
that a refinery will be built IN
Alberta.

OIL NEWS.

Information of any sort cannot be
procured, of the situation at the
West End veil, /the driIlers are
very ret'cent, about giving informa
ton for publication.
They sta'e'good reasons for not
doing so, and we are forced to res
pect them. Drilling however is still
going on though slowly, many layers
Of rock being encountered.
The drlllers at the Blanc Emmer
well in East End have been having
a good deal Of trouble, their four
inch pipe after being sunk TO
depth of two hundred feet became
caught in strata of rock, and all
efforts to pull 1t out, proved frui ,less
A two inch pipe is now being sunk
at one side of the larger one, the
drlllers hoping in this way TO loos-
en- it.
News from Breaux Bridge is
very encouraging especially that
from the Anse La Butte well.
The drill is working nicely and
cutting Its way downward rapidly,
the we'll is now some $50 feet deep.
Officers of the company tell us
that, the indications are much better
than those found in eli Their the old
Lucas we'll or the one abandoned
some three weeks ago.
The drlllers have been lucky IN
not striking the large gravel strata
which brought them to stand still
in the old we'll.
At the Pioneer well, Capt. Moirs
has sunk his drill 1000 feet and
though no oil has been struck, they
will continue down, with the sup.
position that being off the hill the
oil strata, will be found at greater
depth.
The machinery for the Charenton
we'll has arrived, and work will
commence at once. This new field
is said to be very promising one
oil and gas being fonnd in large
quantities.

ed by Jno. r. Taylor Thursday.
Mr.. F. Oppitofer of Galveston
who is largely interested in the
Big Four well at this place, is my

The depth reached is SO feet. Oh

Under the new census Louisiana

and at It's next meeting the Legls-
lature will be called upon to pro-
vide for the additional district, as II
ls safe to say that no one will advo-

member at large.
Editor Jones, of the Baton Rouge
Advocate, discusses the matter in
the last issue of his paper and offers
plan which seems reasonable
enough.
Under the new apporlionment
the basis of population for each
congressional district is 1877, 375.
