INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE.
Increase in Attendance CONT
nues-The Academic Work
Well Begun.

We are pleased to learn the at
tendance at the Industrial Institute
has been gradually increasing each
day since the opening on the 18th
and that many fresh applications
for admission are coming in.
The academic work of the school
seems to have started off briskly
from the first, while the depart
ments of manual training have been
somewhat delayed by reason of the
imposs,bility of completing the
machine shop in time. The work
on this building, however, is being
actively pushed and will be finished
within a few weeks.
The permanent sch edule of stud
les will be put into effect next
week and by the end of another
week it is expected that all the
classes will be settled and hard at
work.
The exercises of the day begin
with a brief program of literary
anu oI "uSASdl SAot o~SSAS AOS~A"6
fifteen minutes. This is conducted
usually by the various classes and
sometimes by the teachers.
The classes in singing have be-
gun there work favorably-andt the
whole school joins in the morning
chorus of the patriotic hymn,
s'America.
The dormitory is now finished
and is most thoroughly equipped
and furnished boarding place for
the young ladies who come from a
distance to attend the Institute.
The most important material i'm
provement now going on on the
grounds Is the setting up of the boiler
and engine and the connecting up OF
the Steamboat system in the main
building and the dormitory. This
will all be accomplished, we trust
before the cold weather sets in.
Meanwhile the subject of plank
walks deserves to be continually
agitated and we earnestly hope tina
it will not be long before gooc
walks are built from the center o
town to the Institute grounds.

PETITION ALTERED
To Suit the Needs of the COmmll-
nity-MOre Money for Plant
and School and Less for
Market.

1t has been decided to alter the
proposition to be submitted to the
voters of the town toward the build
ing Of a central school house, a
public market and the extension of
the waterworks and electric light
plant. The original proposition
set aside $4,000 for public
market. 1t is now proposed to re-
duCe that amount to SIe, 900, to
increase the allowance for school
building from $4,000 to Se4,
and to use $4,000 instead of SIo,-
900 IN the extension of the water
and light system. This alteration
has been made in Difference to the
wishes of many advocates of the
plan who believe that the PROPOSE
ton in it's altered condition will
more thoroughly meet the needs
of the community. 1t is thought
that s1s,o 900 will be enough for the
public market, while $4,000 for
the school and $4,000 fol- the
plant will not be too much.
OF course, the alteration will ne
cessitate great deal more work on
the part Of those who have under
taken the task of securing the re-
quired number of signatures, as 1t
becomes necessary to call upon the
persons who have signed the original
petition; but this work will be'greatly
facilitated by the fact that the peo-
pie are, as a rule, familiar with the
merits of the proposition.

CAPT. LUCAS
To Devote His Attention to Louis
lana Fields.
Confident In His Belief Of Great
Oil Possibilities.


Captain Lucas, the developer Of
the Beaumont oil field, passed
through New Orleans yesterday on
his way back to Beaumont. Cap .
tain Lucas did not register at any
of the hotels, having only a few
minutes to spend in the city. Dur
ing his short stay he gave the fol-
lowing interview to the Picayune:
s.In regard to the Louisiana fields,
1 can only repeat what l have all
along said, as published from time
to time in the Picayune. The
Louisiana region, if properly hand
led and developed, will yield oil in
enormous quantities Two years
ago, when 1 was working in Louis
lana, brought in the Anse-la-Butte
we'll, but it did not yield oil in pay
ing quantities. Those who owned
the property would not let me go
deep enough, and 1 accordingly
went over to Beaumont and event
uaily brought in the famous gusher.
The Texas region is not better than
the louisiana In tact, l believe
the latter is superior to the former.
The oil I drew at Anse la Butte IS
certainly of a higher grade than the
Texas oil, and is, in some respects,
better than any oil in the United
States. took sample from st.
Mary, and have tested it with the
above result.
ssThis statement does not apply
to the oil at Sulphur City. There
it is dense and of an inferior grade.
The Jennings, Anse-laButte and
Terrebonne oil, however, is the best
have seen anywhere. Had l re-
manned in Louisiana instead of GO
ing to Texas, 1 believe 1 would have
been as successful here as l was
there, for the oil is almost certainly
as abundant in the Louisiana re-
gion."
: ssWhat do you think of Prof.
Caracristi's statement that oil and
natural gas exist throughout south
west louisiana"
: 81 have not read the interview,
Y but 1 know Prof. Caracristi, and l
r know also that you can rely upon
everything he says. 1 do not think
he made the statement that oil can
be found throughout Louisiana.
, He probably said throughout ST.
: Mary and Terrebonne parishes.
n His statement about the natural
4 gas Is most probably correct, for I
know it exists. The only question
e heretofore existing in my mind was
6 if it occurred in paying quantities.
n If it does, Louisiana will certainly
r. prove to be lucky State. Wher-
y. ever natural gas is found the sur
- rounding country invariably be-
e comes prosperous, for it furnishes
IS a fuel cheaper than can be had from
r. any other source. In Louisiana i
would make the salt mines as val
