at strikes me that I'd Cole ought to
have warm spot in his heart for Cali
fornia" said friend Of the race horse
man recently in speaking Of Coles "trip
to Los Angeles, where he is one OF the
judges.
1T was some 20 years ago that Cole,
after having blown in a tidy business
against the races, decided 10 cut England
and try his luck in new land. He was
unable, however, to make a decision be
tween America and Australia. Ills ar
rangements were all made and he walked
down the street in Liverpool one morning
to book passage to one or the other, he
knew not which, but hoping for some in
spiraiion to guide him into the proper
channel
"He was accompanied by friend for
whom he had worked on the racctracks,
and one in whose judgment Of the affairs
OF life he had great faith. Passing "A
commission house they saw in the window
a barrel OF the choicest apples it had ever
been their privilege to gaze upon. While
looking at them, Coles friend said:
ed, those apples were never grown in
England, and the country that grew them
should be good enough for any young man
to cmigrate to.
Going inside the store they learned that
tc apples had come from California. Ten
minutes later Cole had booked passage 70
America But for that barrel Of apples
pointing ont the way, Cole might now be
herdng sheep in Australia instead Of en-
joying life to the utmost that il holds for
an American citizen"

A New Stock Company.

The RICE BELT JOURNAL plant ha S

following persons compose the stock

A meeting of the stockholders will
be held in the JOURNAL office Monday
evening, January 5, at 8 o'clock, to
effect an organization, elect officers

The JOURNAL is conceded to be one
of the best paying country newspaper
properties in the state and the new
company will doubtless place it on
even a more prosperous footing than
it now occupies.
In the event the population of Welsh
increases to the extent that a daily

be fully equipped to meet the demand.

Second Refinery VIII Not Be Erected.

The following persons from Mobile,
Ala, were here Monday and Tuesday
investigating the prospects in the
Welsh oil field: DR.. Richard Inge, r.
G.. Gordon, Stephen Touart, VIM Nc
Gee, T. G.. Barrett and Jno. P. Swee-
ney. These gentlemen are interested
in the Southwestern and Metropolitan
Oil Companies, now operating in this
field, and were here to push the work
on their present wells and to acquire
more territory in the proven field.
In conversation with DR.. Inge, a
director and one of the largest stock
holders in both of these companies,
in reference to the refinery projected
recently by the Metropolitan Company,
he stated that the majority of the dir
ectors disaproved of the plan suggest
ed by Jos. Espalla, who announced
that the refinery would be built be-
You'd question. DR.. Inge says it is the
intention of the Mobile people to mar
let oil and not to refine it. One re-
tinery he thinks, especially one of the
kind now in contemplation by the
Central Refining Company, is suffici-
ent at present to supply the demands
of the Welsh field until the field en-
larges and the output greatly increas-
ed. A competitive concern would be
damaging to their interests as well as
others connected with the Welsh field.
He is of the opinion that the Welsh
field will eclipse that of any other oil
producing territory in the South, and
perhaps in the country, and believes
that within a year Welsh will have
doubled her population.
While here Messers Touart and |
Sweeney secured an additional forty |
acres adjoining the Wood farm in the
territory to be known as the Taylor
subdivision, and only a short dis
tance from the proven field. They |
will bring their own rigs here and be-
gin boring shortly after the New
Year. Splendid surface indications
are noticeable on this tract and it is
considered good proposition. In the
event a well is brought in on this &C
the area of the local oil field
will have been considerably broad
ened.
The gentlemen left Tuesday noon
for Mobile, but some of them will re-
turn a few days later to complete
some deals now under Roadway.

Standard Oil Company in Control.

New York, Dec 2S.-The Herald s
New Orleans, La, Special says the
Standard Oil company has at last Sc
cured control of the Beaumont oil
field in Texas and the Jennings oil
field in Louisiana. The fact leaked
out here today that the trust is master
of the situation. There are only a
few small companies remaining out
side. The Guffey Company and the
Waters Pierce Oil Company are under
the control of the Standard. The Wa
tiers Pierce Company has been sub
sidiary corporation of the trust for
number of years, but the Guffey COM
pany was recently purchased. This
company will be operated as a separ-
ate corporation with the old, in order
to evade the Texas anti. trust laws.
The Haywood Oil company, which
practically controls Jennings field in
Louisiana, is now owned by the Stan
dard, according to statements made
in New Orleans financial circles, and
this gives the trusts monopoly of the
two fields. The price of fuel oil has
been advanced to ST per barrel, and
the indications are that quotations
will go still higher.
