.
$1,000 for general purposes,
s., 600 for roads and bridges, and
ST., 500 for library purposes.
The board received the approx
al by a resolution introduced by
late Supervisor Arsenean for it's
attitude on tax matters during
the past year.
A resolution directing the
Board to offer $4,000 to the
Washburn Waterworks Company
Tor their plant was adopted, and
in acceptance with the resolution
the proposal has been made to
the Company by the board, and
their answer is being awaitad.
Judge w. FL. Irish took up the
matter of securing a public
library through the munificence
OF Andrew Carnegie, and resol-
utlon which he introduced was
passed, directing that commit
tee OF five be appointed to write
Mr.. Carnegie relative to the
proposed gift. Mr.. Irish will
correspond with Mr.. Carnegie in
his capacity as president of the
Library Board. Washburn votes
annually an appropriation to. take
care of a library, and all the re-
quirements imposed by Mr..
Carnegie in making his gifts can
be met here by continuing the
policy that has always been in
force relating to appropriations
for it's library.
Town Board Nee tings
The town board has held sever
al meetings during the week, and
have given attention TO matters
of interest to the public. At one
of the meetings proposition for
settlement of the water works
tax matters by the company pay
| ing $4,000 for the taxes of the
year 1900 and 1901 was received,
and the Board still has the mat
ter under consideration.
The matter of appointments
was taken up Monday, and there
were no changes in the list of
town employees. The old officials
were as rule re-appointed. The
vacancy in the position of chief
of police was filed by the appoint
ment of Oliver Wescott to the
position. Mr., Wescott has
entered upon his new duties, and
there is very reason to believe
that he will make frst-class Of
ficer, and that the appointment
will prove popular. Mr.. Wescott
is an old resident, man of the
very best of character and repu-
tation, and in every way qualified
to make a frst-class official.
Therewere three other applicants
for the place.
A. Kinney, julius Husband
and Alex Cyr were re-appointed
patrolmen, while T. Manning
will remain as janitor of the town
building, and Rev. John Berg
strom as overseer of highways.
No appointment was made to the
position of keeper of the dump
ing grounds, mainly owing to
the fact that the duties are liable
to be somewhat increased by the
l. y
removal of the place in the near
future, and the Board wishes
further time to make such
changes as will be desired. The
position of chief of the fire de-
partment has not yet been
brought up, as the time of chief
Nygreen does not expire until
| June.
The regular monthly meeting
! of the Board was held yester-
day, at which time bills were
cleaned Up and the usual routine
work disposed of.

TOWN OFFERS
To Pay It's Criminal Elk
penses and Support It's
Schools.

At it's last meeting the City
Council was asked to make an
appropriation toward running
the town schools during the
coming session. After listen
ing TO committee from the
School Board, composed of Supt.
Alleman, DR.. Moss and Mr..
Spell, it was suggested that the
Council appoint a committee to
meet representatives from the
Police Jury with view of reach
ing an agreement by which the
school revenues of the town will
be kept separate from those of
the parish. Acting upon this
suggestion, which appealed at
once to the judgment of the
cOuncilmen. the following gen
tlemen were appointed to confer
with delegation from the Police
Jury: F. Demanade, Geo. A.
DeBlanc and A. E. MOutCn:
Mayor Catfery was made chair
man Of the committee.
At it's meeting Thursday, the
Police Jury being informed of
the action of the City Council,
appointed the following mem
bers to meet the municipal COM
mittee: President Billeaud,
Frank Mouton, John Whiting
ton and Saul BrOussard.
During the evening both COM
mittees met and the town made
substantially the following prop
ositiOn to the parish:
l. That the parish 3-mill tax
will be refunded to the town.
.. That the town will pay all
its criminal expenses.
3. That the town will bear
the total cost of it's schools
The statement has often been
made that the parish supports
the town schools. We are salts
fed that this statement will not
be borne out by the facts. But
that need not be discussed.
The thing to do is to reach an
agreement upon an equitable
basis which will forever silence
the talk that the people of the
town do not pay for the educa-
ton Of their children.
We hope that these differences
will be adjusted by the town and
parish authorities, and that we
shall hear no more of the charge
that the taxpayers of the parish
are made to pay for the educa-
ton of the children Of the town.

A GOOD PUMPER
And Maybe a Gusher-The
MOreSi Brothers are Re-
warded After Fifteen
Months Of Hard
Work.
Oil In Large Quantities
Found on the POurciO Farm
in the Anse Labutte
Field.

persistent work the MOreSi
brothers have found oil in pay
ing quantities on the POurcio
place, about four miles from the
town of Lafayette. Tuesday
morning a telephone message
was received in this town that
the lOngsought fluid had been
found in quantity sufficiently
large to guarantee Il good pumper
and possibly a tirst-claSS guSher.
A representative Of this paper
went immediately to the field
and was able to personally verify
the report. 1t did not take long
to ascertain that the good news
which had reached town by tele
phone was we'll founded. Several
barrels filed with pure Oil fur
niShed all the proof necessary to
satisfy any one that the report
had not been in the least eXaG-
gerated. The cutters, which
had been used to carry the
water away, were filled with oil
and nothing else was needed to
show that the we'll had been in
duced to give up its precious
wealth. The bailer was sent
down several times. and it never
failed to come up again filed
with oil. And all this despite
the fact that the we'll had not
been completely bailed out.
The experts who had come
from Beaumont, Sour Lake and
Jennings said that every indica-
ton pointed to a large supply of
Oil, and that nowhere else had
such a large quantity Of oil been
found so near the surface.
Judgment was also passed on
the quality of the oil and that
too was most favorable to the
Anse Labutte product.
Cap MoreSi, who has been di-
recting the operations of the
MOreSi brothers. received nu-
merouS congratulations as soon
as it was announced that oil had
been found in large quantities.
1t is due principally to his un-
firing efforts that AnSe Labuttc
is to-day a proven territory.
1t is said that the MessrS
Moresi will lose no time in drill
ing other wells. They are ex-
pert drillers and thoroughly
equipped for this kind of work.
A short distance from the
Moresi well the HeywoOds are
boring. The work there is being
done under the supervision OF
Capt Harper, one of the most
successful drillers who have
operated at Beaumont. Capt
Harper is a thoroughly skill
GILMAN and it is safe to say that
if there is any oil there he will
find it.
OF course the discovery of oil
at AnSe Labutte has created
quite Il stir among oil people.
Men Interested in that business
are arriving in Lafayette on
every train. Several of the oil
companies have sent representa-
tives here and we may look for
Increased activity in the oil cir
cleS.
J. G. NicllerSon, the enterDris-
ing real estate agent, secured a
barrel Of oil from tho MeSSrS.

small bottles among the people
Of the town.

he left at once for the field, car.

A BIG FIRE
At Observation-Disclosures
Portion Goes Up in
Smoke.

Late Tuesday afternoon chief
OF the fire department, F.. V.
MOutOn, received Il message
from the mayor of Washington
stating that that town was on
fire and that help was needed.
The message asked for men and
all the available hose.
Mr.. MOutOn Immediately sum-
mOned about a hundred men and
town could spare to go to the
relief Of Washington. The local
railroad authorities lost no time
in getting train ready and in
a short while the Lafayette fire
men were on their way to Wash
ington, which was reached in
thirty-three minutes.
When the Lafayette contin gent
reached Washington the fire
was pretty we'll under control,
but the boys We're not too late
to give some help.
Having no fire department the
the people Of Washington were
absolutely at the mercy Of the
flames which lasted many hours.
A special from Washington to
the Times Democrat gives the
following account of the fire:
The most disastrous and
destructive fire that has been
here to-day. The entire business
portion of the town was de-
Stroyed. The estimated loss is
over 100000 with an insurance
of about S23,OOO. The fire
originated in the stable Of Abra m
Meyer. 1t soon communicated
to the opera house, and then the
adjoining buildings We're ignited.
The large building of A. Meyers
was soon consumed. The two
story building of G.. r. BallliO
then fell a victim to the flames.
The poStOftice and the Jacob
Plonsky residence. the drug
store of Lynch Bros, the WASH
inGton State Bank building and
the residence and store of Carl
Wolff were all burned.
Washington is grateful for
the valuable assistance rendered
in this emergency by the tiremen
of Lafayette and OpelousaS, who
came to her assistance. The
town had no facilities for fight
ing fire.
