Dennis Flynn seconded by Judge
Burford IS making a desperate effort
hide the bold raw provision in the
omnibus bill, which provides for the
sale of common school lands "only at
public sale, preference right to pur-
chase being given o Iessees at the
time OF such sale
The only thing Tor lessees deter
mine is whether the bill m ans what it
says or whether it is to be side track
ed by a discussion Of constitutional
law. Lessees will do wen TO read sec
tion and interpret that language for
themselves, for It Is me language Of
the bill that controls and not cam
paign opinions, by office holders, who
will be out OF a job when, II ever, the
law becomes operative.
But sinck so learned a judge az Mr..
Burford has been unable to find any
provision in the bill which preven s
the legislature from providing pay FOR

Our Valuable Lands.

Louisiana lands are rapidly coming
into great demand as result of the
marked developments that have taken
place throughout the state during the
past two years. For the moment the
oil and rice lands of the southwestern
section of the state attract the most
attention and their values are already
beginning to soar skyward. The
profits realized upon oil and rice
lands have been so large that it could
not escape the attention of men OF
means who had money to spend In
paying investments, and the money is
going out in increasing quantities
every month. New Orleans capital is
as yet but poorly represented in that
thriving section. A few firms, it is
true, were foresighted enough to take
advantage of the opportunities offered
and they have been richly rewarded
for their investments: but aside from
these few, our interest in that section,
from an investment standpoint, is
quite limited.
The residents of that section, aided
by farseeing men from the west and
north, have built up the prosperity of
Southwestern Louisiana, and this
prosperity has been built upon an
enduring foundation. Failing in most
of their efforts to secure financial
assistance from our mem of means, the
energetic people of that section began
to organize cooperative companies
for the purpose of exploiting their
local resources; they built rice mills,
they constructed irrigation canals and
deep wells, they established banks,
shops and factories; and the result is
seen today in the general prosperity
that pervades the entire section not
withstanding the short crop of rice
realized this season. Now the divi-
dends from these enterprises founded
by cooperative effort go to the local
people and are invested in additional
local improvements, all of which make
the country prosperous and increase
the golden CURRENT that has converted
wild waste into land of plenty

Wild aud WoOlly Cowboys in San AntO-
Mo Theater.

AS a finishing touch to the festivi-
ties incident to their regular annual
visit to the International fair at San
Antonio, and at the end of two
weeks carousal in the wide-open Ala
mo city, a band of cowboys-in full
regalia- Tuesday night interpolated
a few speciality stunts that were not on
the bill at one of the theaters.
Seating themselves in the upper
boxes, the wild and woolly visitors
were for awhile no more uproarous
than other enthusiastic patrons of the
place. But when the O'Del1e sisters,
a quartette, appeared, One-Eyed Bill
rose and, Selling his rope, exclaimed {:
''Boys, that little red-faced heifer is
NINE" and so saying, he swung his
lariat for the youngest of the sisters.
He failed to rope her, but the move
quickly cleared the stage and caused
confusion all over the house. The
festive denizens of the plains then
pulled their guns and began to yell
and shoot up the roof, firing thirty or
forty shots,
The audience, in wild confusion, be-
gan to climb over one another and to
tumble over seats in helter-skelter,
free-for-all race for the exit doors and
poured into the street.
The police quickly appeared and re-
stored order, and the performance was
shortly resumed.
AS no one was hurt and as every
thing goes in San Antonio during and
for few days after the fair, the cow
boys were placed under nominal ar
rest until they could cool off and get
out of town.

Crowds Going to the Circus.

An unusual degree of local interest
has been aroused by the announcement
that Ringing Bros. famous big cir
Gus is to exhibit in Lake Charles, Sat
urday, November 8, and Crowley,
Monday, November 10. Several big
excursions will go from this vicinity,
and local people will be well repre-
scented at the big show Those who
go from here should make every effort
to arrive in time to see the magnificent
new free street parade, which takes
place in the morning preceding the
opening performance. The procession
is divided into thirty enormous sec
tions, each of which is a complete
parade, and presents in it's entirety a
Overwhelmingly magnificent two-mile
carnival of pageantry, such as the
world has never seen. In this gorge
Gus display are shown over 100 beau
tiful dens and cages of wild animals,
500 horses, 30 animals and nearly a
thousand people, and the costumes
throughout are of the finest silks,
satins, and cloth of gold. The per-
Torrance that follows is the most mag
nificent arenic display ever presented
by any circus in America. 1t is en-
tirely new this year, and it's novelty
and magnitude have created a sensa-
ton wherever the show has exhibited.

A Welcome Investor.

Now that the Southern Pacific rail
road has become interested in the
Welsh oil field and intends expanding
large amount of money in it's devel-
opment, one may expect to see the
farms near the old we'll dotted with
derricks soon. We have been relia-
bly, informed that at least six or seven
wells will be sunk or at least work
will have begun on them before the
Christmas holidays. Three wells it is
said will be put down by Texas par
ties, one by Mississippi parties, one
by a Lake Charles company, one by
the Southern Pacific railroad and an
other by Welsh parties as soon as
the present one is completed. The ex-
penditure of the money here by the
Southern Pacific may mean more than
the development of the oil field, but
nothing definite can yet be stated con-
corning the matter. However, that
corporation is a welcome investor
and it is hoped that similar concerns
will realize the advantages of invest
ing here.

terviewed A. V. Eastman, manager

extension from Lake Charles to Guey-

ment:
''The Southern Pacific branch con-
Meeting Lake Charles and Gueydan
is in rapid progress. Contractors
are now busily engaged in laying
rails, about three miles being already
laid, and this work will be pushed to
completion. At present the grading
has only reached Joplin, near Laca-
sine, but a surveying party will be
put in the field at an early date to
complete the survey to your town. The
route from Joplin to Gueydan has
not been determined yet. The South
ern Pacific will no doubt try to play
Lake Arthur at the northeast end OF
the Lake against Lakeside at the
southwest corner. - Gueydan News.
