Central Louisiana Should be
Tested for Oil.

The citizens of Grant, Rapides and
Vernon parishes are not making any
attempt to develop their territory
for oil. No portion Of the State, not
already discovered. has a fairer
chance OF striking oil than Grantpar-
ish, but the ground has never been
bored q sufficient depth to ascertain
whether there is oil. Awell at Colfax,
bored about one thousand feet for
water, is sending up natural gas,
which burns readily at the well if q
match is applied. What may there
not be in the way OF oil few hundred
feet deeper? 1t is said that spring
few miles from Colfax shows unmis-
taxable signs of crude petroleum.
In Vernon parish the surface signs
Of oil deposits are exceedingly good.
Rapides parish has never been tested
for oil, although there is splendid sur
face Indications at many points.
The Town Talk believes thatevent-
ually one Of the best oil fields of the
State will be found between Coushat-
ia and Pineville, on the north side OF
Red river, and that the richest finds
will be made around Saline lake and
Black lake in Winn and Natchitoches
parishes. also at or near Colfax.
An oil well is now being bored near
Winnfield, and another at Marksville,
but this is the only work OF develop
ment that is going on in this portion
of Louisiana.
lnthese days people to make money
must risk something. Who knows
but what thousands Of acres of land,
within "a hundred miles of Alexandria,
which can now be bought at from 81
to IS per acre, will be worth millions
to owners in q few years?
The oil fields of Louisiana are in
their infancy. Only a few acres have
been tested for oil. The day may
come when the oil product Of Louisi-
ana win bring more money to the
State than all her great agricultural
products combined.
The Town Talk would like to see
the people Of Louisiana get the bene-
At Of some of the wealth which is un-
der their feet, but they can notexpect
it by standing still and doing moth
ing. II they refuse to make the test
and reap the reward, strangers viii
come in, take the risk and make the
rich strikes.
If the oil Indications of Central
Louisiana were to be found in any of
the northern States, derricks would
have been raised and drills be hunt
ing for the fluid which makes pros
perity.-Town Talk.

We Need Fewer Doctors.

The other day at the convention of
the American Medical Association, in
New Orleans, where some 1000 or
5000 physicians and attendants
were gathered, DR.. Billings drew at
tention to the decided oversupply of
medical men in the United States.
He attributed the surplus to the fact
that the medical colleges are gradu-
ating annually from 10000 to
1880 physicians, when the actual
needs of the country call for only
about $500. If DR.. Billings is cor
rect, and there is no reason to doubt
his figures, from 1000 to 10000
young men are annually entering a
profession in which they have but the
slimmest hopes OF making even the
proverbial Comfortable living" Of
course, it goes without saying that
most OF the professions are more or
less overcrowded; but we doubt if any
of them, except the Law, could afford
a parallel to the condition OF things
brought to light at the New Orleans
convention. What this disparity be-
tween the demand and supply means
to this army of young men, can only
be surmised; but certain it ls that in
the majority of cases it viii involve
the loss of much money, that can i'll
be spared, and much time, that can
be spared still less. 1t does really
seem pity that some of these gradu-
ates have not entered other profess
sions that are not 30 crowded, and
can offer better prospects Of remuner-
alton. Sanitary engineering, naval
architecture, and the comparatively
new profession of forestry, for in
stance, are not overcrowded, and
there will soon be great demand for
really competent automobile engi-
neers, men who combine with me
chanical ability thorough knowl-
edge of gas and other engines that
are competing for the control Of the
field. Then there is the sphere of
journalism, which. while abundantly
supplied as to numbers, is pitiably
supplied as to quality. There must
be among those thousands of gradu-
ates not few young men who have
a natural gift for good writing-in
these days an all-too-rare accomplish
ment that threatens to become a lost
American.

Days Outing.

On Wednesday, May 10th, the young
people OF montgomery and Machen
assembled themselves together for
the purpose Of having a picnic. The
young men engaged two wagons as
cOnveyances. The first wagon con-
tained nine girls and three boys, and
the second five boys and five girls.
They left town about 7:30 a. m.. and
after driving some four or FIVE miles,
all having good jolly time, they ar
rived at Bacian Springs, where all
proceeded to secure hooks and poles.
The woods being grown up with large
trees, they found 1t quite difficult find-
Ing poles suitable for the occasion,
some OF them being so crooked you
could hardly fish In the stream. I'm
dOubtedly the fish were cross-eyed or
else they would never have succeeded
In finding the way to those hooks.
After fishing for an hour or two with
very good results the crowd became
tired, and gathered around to engage
In shooting contest, which was
very interesting. The contest being
over all resOrted to the place where
the best OF all was to take place, viz:
dinner. Some Of the cooks who were
along busted themselves frying the
fish, while others prepared dinner.
Finally u voice was heard to ring out
In the crowd, and to the opinion of
allit was the sweetest voice that had
been heard in many q day. and IL an
nOunced the fact that the feast was
ready. Having no table the dinner
was spread on the ground. and all
gathered around to partake of the
many good things which the girls
had prepared for the occasion. All
having eaten to their hearts content.
there yet remained enough to feed
many more. After dinner all resorted
to q cool place and were entertained
by some sweet music rendered on
mandolin, guitar and harp. after
which the crowd gathered around
and Joined In the old game called
handkerchief" Other little amuse-
ments occupied the remainder OF the
time. About 40 D. m. all started ON
their hOmeward journey with hearts
Overj0yed with the days pleasure.
Besides the two wagon loads OF peO-
pie there were others, running the
number up to thirty-four. Having
reached home ali found pleasure In
sitting down where they could rest
from their days outing. The picnic
was declared to be the most success
full given In this section Of the coun-
try. Much credit IL due to those who
were 90 faithful in seeing that every
one was provided with means Of
conveyance.

in connection with the Reunion and
other attractions, was made in large
measure to meet Mr.. Adam Clark, an
old Confederate soldier, and the pres
ent editor and proprietor of the

worked with Clark & Gaulding, on
the Camden Herald, and afterward
on the Camden Herald and Eagle,
and we have kept a warm nook in our
heart for Mr.. Clark for all the years
since that time, and it was q great
pleasure to meet him again.
