Near by were two other little men try

men, who were no higher than Peters

were clothed in green.

again he noumdered toward them
through the snow.

Reports from Vipton say that fol
lowing the moderate rains of SATURDAY.
and Sunday, came heavy downpour
of four hours duration yesterday
morning. The heaviness of the rain
together with the impassibility of the
roads, suspended all outdoor work
and movements for the time being.
1t cannot be learned to what extent
the rice crop is damaged, but all that
is now cut and standing in the field
Will certainly be spoiled.
Orange reports the heaviest rain
that has occurred in four or five years.
The city is completely flooded and the
streets lnee-deep in water. The new
telephone system reports the burning
out of over 100 phones by lightning.
Reports from different parts of this
parish state that much damage has
been done to rice; much of it being
cut and either loosely shocked or fiat
in the field. Uncut rice has suffered
by having the plant and grain beaten
down by the wind and rain.-Lake

Injured While Stealing a Ride.

Randolph Bates, a young man about
| twenty two years of age, while attempt
ing to alight from the rods of a NOV
ing west bound freight train at the
depot here Tuesday morning, had the
calf of his leg badly lacerated by a
wheel passing over it. He was cared
for in the waiting room of the depot
and the company's local surgeon was
summoned and dressed the wound.
He told his name and said his home
was in Baton Rouge. His father. J
X. Bates, who is well-to-do business
man, was notified by wire of the acct
dent that had befallen his son and the
young man was placed aboard the
morning train and sent to New Orleans
where he was met by his father. The
boy said he desired to get out and
hustle for himself and see some of the
world and running short of funds de-
termined to beat his way on freiphts.

about at standstil1 or he would have

Elm and Hudspeth streets where the

The Oil Wen.

There is nothing new to report this
week about the oil well, except the
drlller has been bailing the well and
brings up lots of oil. AT intervals,
after 1T has been uncapped, it has
gushed several times, one time seven
feet above the derrick. Those inter-
ested seem to have faith in the well
finally being brought in gusher, but
many are under the impression the
depth, 1880 feet, is not deep enough
and the driller will be compelled to go
deeper. Be this as it may, there is no
doubt about there being oil in paying
quantities and that first class gush-
er will ultimately be brought in. 1t is
understood that arrangements are
being made for the boring of other
wells in the field at an early day and
it is believed that the Welsh oil field
will soon be one of the most prolific
in the country.

Push 1T Along.

The state agricultural department
has sent out the following circular to
real estate agents in Louisiana:
Dear Sir-About the 10Th of Octo-
Der this department is going to pub
lish pamphlet containing list of
the lands in each parish that are on
the market. 1t is our idea to give this
pamphlet wide distribution among
immigrant agents, land agents and
prospective immigrants throughout
the country, especially in the west and
northwest. This of course will be
supplemented with descriptive Iitera-
ture setting forth the advantages of
the state and parishes. We already
have on our list over two hundred
Immigrant and land agents in the
northwest. In addition to lists of
land this pamphlet will contain list
of the real estate agents of Louisiana.
we would like to have you send,
as soon as possible, list of lands
you have for disposal, a description,
number of acres, improvements, in
what parish located, price, ETC. Make
matter brief but definite and clear.
Have descriptions, etc., written plain
ly, or typewriter if possible. A
prompt reply will be appreciated.
Very truly,

Crop Conditions,

Cotton-Showers ~ many parts of
the state every day during the week
have materially interfered with cotton
picking. The crop in the field has
suffered injury in places as result OF
the continuous showers. In some
| places seeds has been washed out of
the bolls and is rotting on the ground.
Pickers continue scarce in places.
While picking is well advanced in
! places, there are others where it is
much behind. Picking is better ad-
vanced in the western than in the cas-
tern parishes. The conditions Of the
crop vary considerably in the same
parish. A few correspondents report
some prospects for top crop if frost
holds off. The indications are that
the general yield will be considerably
below an average.
sugar Cane-ShOwery, warm wealth
er has been unusually favorable for
the growth of sugar cane, and will no
doubt bring about much Improvement
in the size of the stalk of much of the
cane crop. The crop will soon need
dry cool weather for ripening. Fall
blowing has been interfered with and
fall planting contemplated by many
has been made impossible.
Rice-Rice harvest and threshing
have been interfered with, but have
been pushed as rapidly as possible.
Some rice has been harvested in wa
ter. Some damage resulted to the
crop from high winds.
Corn-Corn gathering has contin-
ued when the weather would permit. |
Some corn is rotting in the field.
Miscellaneous = The weather has
been very favorable for fall gardens,
and good growth is reported gener-
ally. Hay making has been interfered
With. The late pea crop and sweet po-
alto crop have been improved.

of that corporation have the utmost
confidence in the Welsh field.
