There is a belief in Denmark that
there is hidden Klondike somewhere
in Greenland, and a private trading
company with a large capital has been
organized to exploit the country. Hith-
erto the affairs of Greenland and such
commerce as has existed with the out
err world have been monopolized by the
Royal Greenland Commercial company,
a government institution, but this, it is
claimed, has been without enterprise.
Besides the meteorological enterprises,
a feature will be made of the whale
fisheries, and several great whaling
stations will be established next spring
on the south coast of Greenland. 1t is
proposed to send out at the same time
three scientific expeditions with a view
of reporting on the mineral capabilities
OF the country.

Major Charles Dick, who intends to
be the next Republican candidate for
governor of Ohio, says he got lesson
when trying his first law case which
has kept him humble ever since. He
was a student in a law office and was
getting nothing for his time except OPP
portunity to associate with lawyers.
His first case was in a petty court
and he INDUCED in some skyrocket ora
tory. After the trial an old man who
had known him all his life said:
"Charlie, be you maxim much at the
law business" mo, I am not getting
anything, being only a student"
rWell," said the old man, STRIKES me

Boring Continues Steadily.

A JOURNAL representative visited
the Welsh oil field Sunday and wit
messed the operations of the well bor-
ing machinery Of the Jones Develop
ment Company. The work continues
day and night and the drillers are
we'll pleased with the progress made
thus far.
Last week some difficulty was ex-
perienced in putting in the twelve-inch
pipe on account of the sand, but that
has since been overcome. TIE men
who have the work in charge are
averse to giving out information, but
we have been informed by reliable
parties that the casing is down about
500 feet and the drill quite a distance
farther down. Splendid indications
of both oil and gas have been found.
Like the well abandoned last spring
sand, gravel and rock have been en-
countered which has somewhat retard-
ed the progress.
Driller Clay reports that he will sci
the Pinch pipe in a short time anc
in few days he hopes to reach the
strata of oil that caused the grea
I blowout in the abandoned we'll. This
was at a distance of /, ,020 feet.
In the meanwhile activity in rea
estate business continues in the vicln
ity of the we'll and every one is anx
iously awaiting the outcome OF th'
boring.

Made With Salt Water.

1t has been accepted as a fact that
salt water is death to the rice plant,
but w. F. Perkins, who owns large
rice farm on Black bayou, which has
during this season been invaded by
sea water, says that if it is the fact, it
is not a fixed fact. He says that when
he found he could get nothing but salt
water for his rice, he began to pump
it on his fields, but did not allow it to
stand on any field but few hours at
a time, drawing it from one field to
another. Mr.. Perkins states that his
rice has headed out with full, hinty
grain, and his crop will be made from
salt water.-American.

BURNING OIL WELL SUBDUED.
The Kissing Flame EXtfngufshed al
Jennings Monday Afternoon.

After burning necessarily for LA |
hours the great spectacle that had at
tracted thousands of visitors to the
Jennings oil field was brought to an
abrupt ending early Monday after
noon and the burning of the gusher |
oil we'll is now historical event.
The manner in which the fire was
quenchedSwas the execution of a plan
devised by the Heywoods Immediately
after the well was ignited last week,
and that it worked successfully demon
strates that they have a thorough
knowledge of the business in every
sense the word implies.
A number Of boilers of large capaci-
ty were set in the field to the north
east of the burning well. They were
connected with two lines of four inch
pipe. One of the lines was stationery
and the other movable, SO as to fol-
low the flames. One man was station
ed at each boiler to keep the steam
pressure up to 125 pounds. 1t is esti-
mated the combined boilers gave a 225
| horse power force. Two four inch
water lines were laid from the north
with four two inch connections and fif-
ty feet of hose on each connection, and
were SO arranged that the flames could
be covered from the east, north and
| northwest.
One of the pumps on the Jennings
Haywood oil syndicate well was used
to force water and the other to force
chemicals. Each pump had one hun
dred pounds pressure. A man was sta
toned at each pump to keep the pres
sure up. The four inch pipe to carry
the chemicals was run in from the
north and had two twO-inch connect
ions, with fifty feet of hose attached to
each connection.
When the big crowd that had as
sembled to witness the experiment saw
that the flames We're checked 1t went
wild with enthusiasm. The work OF
extinguishing the flames was accom-
plished in an instant after everything
was in readiness. After the fire was
out stream of cold water was turned
on the pipe to cool it and thus pre-
clude the possibility of re-ignition.
The gate valve was then removed
and the we'll allowed to gush for a few
minutes. The flow of oil appeared tc
be stronger than ever and spouted to q
height variously estimated at from l5(
to 300 feet.
The we'll burned just six days during
. which time many persons from al
over the south viewed the spectacle.
The expense of putting out the fire
has been very heavy but the amour
of free advertising occasioned thereby
will more than meet the expense thu:
incurred. A new valve has been pu
in and the Jennings-Heywood syndl
cate is again marketing oil from the
Jennings No. 2.

The Rice CrOD.

Reports from over the parish are to
the effect that the recent showers have
greatly benefited the rice crop, Al
been visited and many of the pumping
stations that were compelled to aban-
don operations, have been able to re-
sumo The deep wells are also fur
nishing a better flow and it is conf
IDENTIFY stated by well-informed rice
men that the shortage in this section
will be considerably less than was at
first anticipated. Many fields are be-
ginning to head and those it is claim
ed will be ready for harvesting by the
middle of next month.

AN IMPORTANT LAND DEAL.
A Jennings Man Pays 81 900 for Sim
gle Acre in the Welsh Oil Field.

F. r. Jaenke, of Jennings, was over
Monday and purchased an acre OF
land within fifty feet of the oil well
now being sunk for which he paid
81 900. The land was owned by E. S.
Wood, of McGregor, Texas, and lays
The two wells that were formerly
abandoned on account of gas explos-
ions are located on this small tract
and in the event a guSher is brought
in will prove one of the most valuable
pieces of property in the Welsh field.
+. Mr.. Jaenke is one of the leading
business men of Jennings and one OF
the foremost promoters of the oil in
dustry and other commercial interests
of his city. He made a thorough in
vestigation of the surroundings before
he purchased and he is evidently con-
tident of the existence of oil here. He
will probably wait a few weeks before
beginning the development of his
holdings.
This is the most important deal that
has been made in oil land.
The following special concerning
the deal appeared in Tuesdays New
Orleans Picayune:-'' MIR. n a n
Jaenke, of Jennings, La, was in the
for an acre of land adjoining the oil
well on the famous Woods farm for
$1,000 Mr.. Jaenke acted for 1. d. L..
Williams and himself. These two gen
tlemen are the first who discovered the
Jennings oil field, and were the lead
ers in forming the Jennings Oil Com
pany
''Mr. Jaenke made a careful inves-
tigation of the oil situation at this
place, and feels confident that the well
which is being drilled by the Welsh
Oil Land and Development Company
\ will be equal if not superior to the one
in the Jennings field.
'sThis price is the highest which ha:
been paid for any undeveloped OF
land in this part of the country, ant
owing to the fact that experienced OF
men made the purchase, it speaks yer!
highly ofthe indications at this point. >

Result Of ANALYSES.

Analyses shows that 100 pounds of
rice contains 97.6 pounds of total
nutriment, consisting of IA pounds
protein, O.4 pound fat, and 1914
pounds carbohydrates. In compar-
ison with this 100 pounds Of wheat
flour contains S7.5 pounds of total
nutriment, consisting of IL pounds
protein, IL pounds fat, and 14.9
pounds carbohydrates. The relative
food values of rice and wheat, based
solely on the amount of albuminoidss
they contain, are in the proportion of
10 to 10: based on the value of total
nutritive material, the proportion is
81 to S2.54 The ease with which the
deficiency of albuminoids and fats
can be supplied from legumes and the
almost absolute certainty of produc:-
ing crop every year are the princi-
pal reasons why rice is the staple
food in many densely populated coun-
tries.-S. A. Knapp, in Rice Culture
