PERMANENT ORGANIZATION
Desired by the Jews Of Lafayette
and Adjacent TOwns-Wm
Meet on June 2.

AS will be seen by reading the
following address issued to the Jews
of Lafayette and adjoining parishes
an effort is being made to bring
together the people of that faith for
the purpose of effecting an organize
ton to uphold and promote the
principles of the Jewish religion in
this section. The address reads:
We the undersigned committee, and the
Jewish residents of Lafayette, feel the ne
cessity of regular organized congregation
to promote Judaism in our midst; to organize
a system of instruction for the benefit of the
rising generation; and TO promote feeling
of brotherhood among ourselves aud those
members of our faith who live in the towns
near by.
1t should not be said that the faith of our
forefathers has votaries; and that
children are brought up without any instruc-
ton in the beauties of the Jewish faith: a
faith which has stood the test of many severe
trials; faith which comes in conflict with
no good doctrine; faith which surely de-
serves some consideration at the hands of
every Jew who feels any interest in his reli-
gion, IN his friends and in his children.
1t Is with the best of motives that we call
on all our co-religionists; each to assist by
every means in his power to aid in this
work, which we feel is good one.
Do not feel that nothing can be done;
that this move will come to naught. For it
will come to perfect success, if each one
feels a personal interest, and makes an effort
to show that interest. 1t may take little
trouble, but the end is surely deserving of
more than the effort required.
We, therefore, call You to attend a
meeting to be hell in Lafayette, on Sunday,
June 2, 1901, at Falk's hall, with a view to
organize permanent congregation of Jewish
families.
We have here a temple and cemetery, and
we think that with the aid of all who will
help, that we can form good congregation.
However, we do not mean to be domineer-
ing, and if it should be the decision of the
meeting to locate the house of worship at 4
more central town, then of Lafayette will
extend to that congregation the same aid
which now ask of our neighbors.
B. FALK,
G. ScHMULEN,
NJ. ROSENFIELD,
If you not able to attend personally,
please send your proxies to
NJ. ROsENFIELD, Secretary pro tenn.

READY TO DRILL.
DerriSks are Built and the Ma.
chfnery is on the Ground,

The oil situation is now assuming prac-
teal shape. In the language OF the poker
table, 1t is now up to you, Mr.. Driller.
Nothing short of an actual flow of oil will
set people wild. Ordinary indications such
as greasy deposits On the wel-water, oil
globules in spring water and hair breadth
escapes from gas explosions don't even get
in the newspapers. Like the Missourians,
people must be shown and nothing less than
real digging into the ground will be admissi-
BILE hereafter.
1t IS settled fact beyond any sort of
doubt that Southwestern Louisiana has oil
and plenty of it. Paschal Beverly Randolph
said so thirty-five years ago. Every geologist
who has been here believes it and all the
people are as cocl<sure of it as they are of
anything. Judge Falk found the real stuff
ten years ago. Capt. Lucas pumped barrels
of it from three wells at Anse Labutte. And
it can be seen ny any one who will drive to
Mr.. Pourcio's place where Nature herself
has undertaken to convince all the doubling
Thomases.
and we are pleased to learn that they are
getting ready to begin operations at Anse
Labutte and on the Moresi tract. Machinery
for the latter was hauled from Lafayette
yesterday. At Anse Labutte the derrick i.
up and the piping is on the ground.

THE ROBINS SUIT.
Judge Lewis of OpelOusas Trying
Exceptions Filed in the Case.

The trial of exceptions in the suit of the
heirs of Col. VIC. Robins VS.. B. Falk, Mar
tin Webre and others, involving the owner
ship of CAS- acres of land engaged the at
tention of the District Court yesterday.
Judge E. +. Lewis, of Opelousas, presided,
Judge Debaillon having recused himself.
Msssrs. Crow Girard and o. c. Mouton
represent the plaintiffs and Messrs. G. A.
Breaux and VIM. Campbell are looking after
the interests of the defendants.
Col. Robins lived in this parish during
the seventies. His home was on the land
which is now in contention. Col. Robins
was killed on the Fourteenth of September,
1876, being one of the citizen-soldiery who
died on that memorable day.
The tract which is now in dispute was
acquired at tax sales the legality Of which is
attacked by the heirs of Col. Robins.
Miss Louise Robins, a daughter of Col.
Robins, has been IN Lafayette for some time,
the purpose of her visit here being the filing
of the suit which is trial.

CAPT. LUCAS OPINION
Texas and Louisiana Oil Fields
Lafayette's Chances.

Capt. A., F. Lucas was inter
viewed in New Orleans last Wednes
day by a Times-Democrat reporter.
Capt. Lucas was on his way to
Georgia where he will spend some
weeks with his family in the hope
of regaining his health which has
been somewhat impaired by the
exacting demands made upon him
after the oil discovery at Beaumont.
In the course Of his interview
Capt. Lucas said:
$50 far as the country's vast supply of
oil is conce, med, believe that Texas is 60
ing to furnish the quantity and Louisiana the
quality.'
'sIhe analysis of the Beaumont Oil shows
it to have illuminative properties to the ex-
tent of 80 per cent said Capt. Lucas,
s'whlle Louisiana will produce oil showing
as high as 65 per cent illuminant. Igot oil
in this State-I not stating in what
locality-that yielded 6o per cent illunin-
ant, and as tine a product as has come from
the earth in any country. The oil in Louis
lana is not confined to any one parish. 1t
is in the rocks beneath several different
parishes of the State. 1t is of fine quality,
every barrel of it.
"The field in Louisiana has got to be
thoroughly prospected before notable dis
coveries are made in the production of oil.
The indications that oil abounds in several
of the parishes are numerous, but no large
flowing wells have yet come in. If had
been given more encouragement by the peo-
pie of New Orleans this State might be the
great region for Oil instead of Texas. 1t
requires much prospecting, deal of hard
work and considerable financing to develop
an oil field. When Prospectors have full
filled their mission in the State, Louisiana
will furnish some grand surprises in the OF
line.
81 think that Lafayette parish has good
chance to distinguish herself the oil
world. Cote Gelee, beautiful strip of land
from Lafayette to Jefferson Island, through
Vermilion parish, gives promise of yielding
a supply of the product. I believe also the
prospectors will stricke oil in ST. Mary par
ish and around Houma, the indications there
strongly pointing to wells coming in wher
the earth has been drilled to a considerable
depth. 1t wouldn't surprise me to hear o,
oil coming in Shreveport and in the
country around many, the prospects at the
latter place being extraordinarily good.
''The property owned by the J. NJ. Cuff,
Petroleum Company comprises strip ex
tending through parts of Vernon, Lafayette
Calcasieu and ST. Martin parishes. w,
| are preparing to drill in St. Martin, having
| ordered the machinery, which will be pu
| in place near L'Anse la Butte soon i
| arrives. 1t is also our intention to begil
boring in the other parishes mentioned in
short time

The New Council.

The new Council met last Tues
day and organized for the ensuing
term. The following officers were
elected: Louis Lacoste, secretary;
F. v. Mouton, treasurer; Charles
Debaillon, collector; Alphonsc
Peck, marshall; Edwin Campbell,
assistant marshal. The police force
was reduced from three to two Of
ficers.
Heretofore a commission of 4 per
cent was allowed the collector. A
resolution was adopted reducing it
to per cent. The collection of
water and light fees was included
in the duties Of the collector.
The salary of the mayor was IN
creased from $3.50 to $500 a year.
The raise IN the mayors compensa
ton was eminently proper. AS it is
he is but poorly paid for his services.
Besides the ordinary duties of the
Office, Mayor Caffery is often called
upon to give legal advice TO the
town, a work which he always does
free of charge. His predecessor,
former Mayor Campbell, did like
wise.
G. F. Melchert, engineer of the
w. w. and E. l.. plant was also
given an Increase of salary. In
this case the raise was equally de-
served

While the Vanderbilts and the

is interesting to know that if Adam

every year since the day of the ap-

live 200 years to accumulate a for
tune equal to that of young Wander
bilt. This is surely not encour-
aging to the young fellow who starts

PUBLIC MARKET.
Mr.. Campbell Talks to the Council
On the Question of a Public
Market.

District Attorney Campbell ap-
peared before the Council at its
meeting Tuesday and spoke of the
necessity Of a public market. Mr..
Campbell stated he had had occa-
sion TO look into the matter while
attending court at Crowley. He
said that the Crowley market-house,
which is a large, modern building,
is being paid for out of its reve-
nues.
Mr.. Campbell argued that Lafa-
yette would be able to build a
market house without the Imme-
diate expenditure of any money
except what would be required to
buy a suitable lot. He was conf
dent that the revenues would be
ample to pay for the building within
the course of few years. What
was being done at Crowley could be
done here just as we'll. From the
Information that he had obtained
on the subject he was justified in
saying that contractors could be
found who would be willing % wait
for their payment.
The growth of this town, thought
Mr.. Campbell, was such that a
public market was daily becoming
an absolute necessity. The present
city hall had outlived its usefulness
and the town administration needed
a more pretentious structure from
which to shape the municipal des-
TIMES of this progressive community.
The suggestions of Mr.. Campbell
were very favorably received and it
was understood among the council
men that the initiative would be
taken at the next meeting. 1t was
suggested that committee be
appointed to 60 to Crowley to get
a few pointers.
