CONTRIBUTION
To the SchOolS-Sherif BrOuS-
sard Gives Fifteen Dollars :
Month for Two Years.

In the proceedings Of the
School Board published in last
weeks Gazette appeared a resu-
luton to the effect that a new
school will be opened in the sec
Ond ward 1t is also stated in
the resolution that the Board
accepted the offer of Sheriff
BrOuSSard to contribute $50 a
month, during two years, to-
ward the maintenance of the
new school.
The Board appreciated the
need of another school in that
section of the parish, but for
financial reasons it could not act.
Sheriff BrOusSard was told of
these conditions, and as he rec
Ognized the necessity of the new
school, he proposed to the Board
to make the generous cOntribu-
ton which was Immediately ac-
cepted.
This is not the first time that
i lie NIdZ'UUc HAS tlSiNi oSSttSl\'ll w
refer to Sheriff Broussard'S dis
position to help the cause of
public education in this par
iSh. 1t is but an additional evil
dence of his Willingness not only
! to do what he can, but to give
what he can, for improved edu-
catiOnal facilities in this parish.
The Gazette believes that the
present campaign for education
offers fine opportunity to pub
lie men to do a great deal for the
cOmmOnweal. If they are un-
able to give pecuniary aid they
can do invaluable work by sup
porting the movement for better
and more schools.

LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA SATURDAY, 26,
THE NEW RAILROAD
Surveyors Move their Camp to
II Point Near BrsauX Bridge.

The railroad surveyors who
were camped on the grounds
near the pOwer-hOuse have
moved their tents and working
apparatus to point about one
mile and d half north of Breaux
Bridge The men have been at
work since their arrival here
and there seems to be no doubt
that they are surveying Il line
from this town to Baton Rouge.
They have not followed the road
Louisiana Central. No Informal
ton of d more definite character
has been obtained and it can not
be positively stated which road is
having the work done, but it is
reasonably certain that the
Southern Pacific has something
to do with it. The men are losing
no time and at the rate that they
are going, their point of destina
ton will be reached before many
days.
The following special from
Baton Rouge, dated July %, to
the New Orleans Picayune will
be of great interest in cOnnec-
ton with the projected railway
Baton Rouge, La, July 22-Recent de-
velopments leave room for doubt that
Baton Rouge is to have at least one and
probably two new railroads in the near
future. The movement in the southwestern
part of the State, said to be on the part of
the Southern Pacific people, making pre-
limnary survey in the direction of Baton
Rouge, has been heard from at this end of
the line. Some of the papers In the organ
ization of this movement have reached this
city. 1t is stated that Meridian, Miss, is
| one of the objective points of this line. 1t
| is explained that it in connection with
this movement that the parties, recently
| referred to in these dispatches, were making
! inquiries and Investigations concerning the
| landings on both sides Of the river at this
point and the ownership Of the land ada
! cent to these landings.
There is no little enthusiasm here anon.

MIR. WILLIAM nADEN.

Tuesday night the people of
Lafayette will have an OppOrtu-
nifty to help a very worthy young
man.
At that time Il concert will be
given in the Auditorium of the
Industrial Institute for the
benefit of Mr. William Haden,
who is now spending some time
in Lafayette as the guest of his
friend, DR.. r. f. Girard. As is
well known, Mr.. Haden pos
sesses musical talent capable of
the highest development, and
of his friends that he be given
the opportunity to complete the
course which he has already be
gun at the National Conservatory
of Music in New York. Four
years spent at that splendid in
stitutiOn by Mr.. Haden has not
only demonstrated that he is pc
culiarly gifted, but that he makes
excellent use of his OppOrtuni-
ties. Without the help of his
eyes having been totally blind
since the age of two years
he has from the start
shown a remarkable degree
of proficiency in the study of his
art The great musicians who
| heard him on his favOrite instru-
ment, the pipe organ, have not
| been slow to detect in the de-
serving and ambitious young
man the qualities of the artist.
Mr.. Haden was born at Stone
wall. in North Louisiana. At an
early age he entered the School
for the Blind at Baton Rouge.
Showing himself an apt scholar
and good student, he completed
! the course at that institution
with great credit and Won the
esteem of his teachers and
schoolmates. With the assist
ance of kind friends, who appre-
ciated his merits and recognized
the quality of his attainmentS,
he was sent to the National Con-
servatOry in New York. His
work there has been of the most
successful character. Gifted as
he is and being a tireless student
it could not be otherwise. The
money realized at the concert
next Tuesday will be used to
enable him to return to the Con-
ServatOry.
Aside from its laudable pur-
pose, the concert is entitled to
the liberal patronage Of the
public. A most interesting
and high class program IS
. being prepared.

OIL FOUND
At AnSe Labutte and GuSher Ex-
pccted Within the Next
Few DAYS

Oil has been found in small
quantities in the we'll now
being bored by the MOresi
brothers on the Pourcio place
at Anse Labuttc. After re-
peated efforts and a perseverance,
which deserves success the
MOreSi brothers have reason to
believe that they are on the CIV"
of bringing in "a gusher. While
others have undertaken the work
and abandoned it, they have
labOred hard and without inter-
ruptiOn. Cap MOresi, who has
been directing the operations at
Anse Labutte, has been on the
grounds over fourteen months.
and at no time has he been dis
cOuraged. If it requires work
and intelligent supervision to
find the Oil, success will surely
crown the efforts of the McSSrS.
MOreSi. If there is a gusher at
Anse Labutte we believe it will
soon OOze out of it's Subterranean
bed. An S-inch pipe is now being
put down and if the indications
are not misleading it is safe to
predict that some time within
the next ten days there will be
a DuSher at AnSo Labutte.

by the Haywood Brothers is in
operation. Scott and Dewey
Haywood visited the place
