ABOUT THE KICKING.

The, Lafayette Gazette in it's
last issue says; Sundays game
against the st. Martinville boys
would have been very interesting
if there bad been less wrsngling.
Though the umpire. Mr.. Brscken.
is known to be . fair man, St. Mar
tinville was displeased with his
decisions from the start and kick
ed fiercely until the eighth inning
when they withdrew and the game
was never finished. But eight in
nings were sufficient to show that
the teams we're pretty we'll match
ed. The st. Martinville team is
composed of clever players of fine
young fellows, but they are in
clined to kick too much"
We do not know anything about
the ruling of the umpire, but &C
cording TO the reports of the boys,
we believe the ruling of the um-
pire was unfair, and under these
circumstances, the boys were right
to quit We are of opinion that
umpires can make errors, but they
should not be always in favor Of
the same club, and if the boys quit
the game they are supposed tc
have had reasons for % acting
The Gazette says the umpire il
known to be . fair man, but fails
to cay whether or not his deci
sions were correct in that game.
Our boys played two games viii

are reported to be, did not kick in

have good part of their rice crop
now heading nicely, and from the
present look of this crop, will be
able to cut about $500 sacks of
rice between the 10th and 10th of
August. The other rice crops in
the parish have improved most
wonderfully, and we believe We
can safely look for a good rice
crop.
Grass! grass! grass! why, town
authorities, if you can't get the
crop of grass which 10 growing 80
luxuriantly in town cut down, turn
the horses and COWS out for q few
days during the dry days, and
they will do the work for you, and
do it cheap too. If you can't keep
the grass down turn the stock
loose. This grass is becoming q
nuisance and we should get rid of
it one way or the other. The peo-
pie expect the town authorities to
do the job, and we look to them to
solve this grass problem.

BOUILLON OIL FIELD.

LIZ. L. H. MbTCiu, L.. n. Una
chere of Crowley and s.. A. Gour-
nay of Eunice, were among the
first to visit the Bayou Bouillon
oil field in this parish, which they
did this week. They returned
highly pleased with what they saw
in that field, they had gone there
for business, and we may soon
hear Of some investment there.
The Jopes-Fletcher we'll is now
producing large quantity of oil
which has been analysed by DIR.
Metz of New Orleans, is said to
contain % per cent illuminating
oil and AZ per cent lubricating oil,
which make the product of this
we'll valuable.
For the distribution of the oil
and placing it upon the market Of
the world, Bayou Bouillon field
has unsurpassed facilities; it is
surrounded by a net work of the
finest rivers in this state. and the
present field now being developed
is right on the banks of the Atch-
sfalaya river, and it is only few
miles from the main track of the
Texas Pacific Railroad. But, with
it's water facilities the Bouillon
field is master of the situation, and
unlike those depending upon the
Railroad Companies, it can be
reached by boats by any indivi-
dual wishing to buy oil right at
the wells.
The oil is found in abunnance
300 and 700 feet, and also deeper,
and in the course of short time
every stratum of this field will be
known to drillers, after this is &C.
complished. the putting down OF
the wells will become easy.
This new field means much for
st. Martin parish and for St. Mar
tinville, as the whole of that vas
field, which good indications show
is immense, is owned by st. Mar
tinville people, and for that rea
SOD, and from the great benefi
that will flow out of this field, WI
should think that the Police jury
should make haste in procuring
and opening a good public road t.
Portage, because already the ira
fc to the woods is very great, ant
is growing to such proportion tina
unless the travelling public art
offered facilities, they will go else
where to reach that field. 1t i
necessary, urgent that this roa'
be opened, and at once, becaus
the moment that communication i
established here it will remain ant
become popular, and beneficial t
the town and parish.
