The Martin Well.

Yesterday morning the baiier
was used at the Martin well d
short while The bailer was
drawn out five times and in each
case a good showing of oil was
made. The bailing was discon-
tinued on account of the size of
the bailer which was too large
for the we'll. Though the depth
contracted for has been reached,
the company will make Il
thorough test of the well before
it is abandoned. Capt. Dorian
and Mr.. Williams. who are here,
are greatly encouraged by the
indications and they will join
Mr.. Martin in an effort to have
the we'll completely tested.

THE HEYMOODS
Receive an Air Compressor and
are Ready for Business.

Scott Haywood, who has been
directing the work for the Hey,
woods at Anse Labutte, is now
engaged in fitting up the air com
pressOr received few days ago.
The machine will first be used
to get the oil out of well No.
whose capacity to produce oil in
paying quantities is assured.
The Heywoods have demon
strated one thing in their opera
tons at Anse Labutte. 1t is
their determination to drill for
oil rather than for speculative
purposes Those interested in
the AnSe Labutte field owe these
enterpriSing oil men a debt of
gratitude. While other cOmpa
MES have been satisfied to hold
large tracts under lease without
even making a pretenSe to drill,
the HeywOods, though they con-
trolIed comparatively small hold
ingS, went to work in earnest
and as the result of their intelli-
gent efforts Anse Labutte is to-
day a proven oil field.
Now that the Heywoods have
shown that there is oil in that
section, it is to be hoped that a
way will be found to compel
Iessees of valuable tracts to take
steps toward their development.
1t is pity if owners Of oil
lands can be deprived Of the
benefits of their property by
sort Of lease which imposes no
responsibilities upon the lessee.
If it is SO, then the owner of the
land is afforded no protection
and is simply the victim of a one
sided game.

PSYCHOLOGICAL


In common with many people
in Lafayette. The Gazette was
sincerely sorry to hear of the
death of Jack DOmengeaux
which occurred last Sunday
afternoon at his home in st.
Landry parish. Young DOmen-
geaux attended the Industrial
nstitute at this place. He was
one of the most popular boys in
| that institution. He completed
the branches of manual training
last session and expected to re-
turn to finish the academic
course AS a scholar be ranked
among the most deserving, and
outside the classroom he was
the same courteous, respectful
the esteem of the faculty and
students. That so fine a young
man, who gave promise OF
career of usefulness, should be
taken away in the flower of his
youth is sad beyond expression.
When the boys and girls of the
Institute resume the work OF
another year there will be ge-
nuine sorrow in their hearts, for
one who was well-liked by all
will not be there to answer the
roll call Young Domengeaux
was one of the leaders in the
college sports. A born athlete,
he was one of the best players
in the foot ball team of which he
was recently elected captain.
Praise-wOrthy as student, a
favorite among his schoOl-mates
and possessing the qualities
which won the good opinion of
his fellows, young Demengeaux
seemed well-equipped to make a
success of life, and his death,
when he was just entering upon
his nineteenth year, is the de-
cree of an all-wise Providence
and can not be understood by
human reason.
1t is one of those mysteries
which can not be explained this
side the grave. That some who
do but little good live out the al
lotted span while persons of
worth like this departed youth
should be called away from a
world filled with hope and
promise is strange indeed. But
there is consolation in the great
truth that it is better to live
well than to live long.

\ Wise Politician.

A local politician, who is
noted for his keen sense of HUI
NOR and profound knowledge
of human nature, recently visited
a neigh boring town where
great celebration was going on.
A distinct feature of the exer.
ercises was what is commonly
known as a baby show. That
part of the country is famous
for it's blue-eyed, ruby-lipped
cherubs and the judges who
were called upon to decide the
contest had no easy task. And
here is where our Lafayette
friend showed that good sense
which is part of his makeup.
He was invited to be one of the
Judges to pass upon the respec
tive merits Of the many pretty,
lovely and charming babies, but
he courteously though emphati-
cally declined. No politician
who wants to enjoy his share Of
can afford to Judge a
contest for cherubic honors,
and no politician who has
regard for his sue
cess as vote-getter will rashly
place himself between a score Of
fond mothers and a premium at
a baby show. Fools rush in
where angels fear to tread, but
don t., as a rule,

tect the trade against a certain
class of people and to establish

There is no disposition among
the blacksmiths to Overcharge

desire to protect themselves
against impOsters and unfair
competition. They wish to CO.
operate with the blacks miths of
the parish for mutual protection,
and a cordial invitation to join
the union is extended to all
engaged in that line of business.
A second meeting was held
Thursday night when important
matters affecting the usefulness
of the organization was attended
to. The union has issued the
following:
THE blacksmith of Lafayette
have formed union for the
general interests of all black
smiths Of the parish of La fayette
and for those of adjoining par
ishes who may feel interested in
this union. This movement is
for the advancement of the
blacksmith trade, to protect
themselves from being beat out
of their labor by bad debtors.
We invite the hearty co-opera-
ton Of all the blacks miths of the
parish.
