Hon. Robt. Martin Of st.

field, yesterday closed a contract
with a Kentucky firm for the Dor
ing of two wells on Mr.. Satterfelds
place near the point that the South
eru Pacific Company are now Dor
ing. From what we can learn it
will not be mnay days before gushpr
will be brought in, as all indica-
tions are perfectly satisfactory.
The Southern Pacific Compauy's
well is now Gao feet deep, oil and
sand being brought mp in great
quantities. A fou rinch pipe will be
inserted into an eight inch pipe to
give room for the great quantity of
gas, this was thought the wisest
plan in which to proceed, to avoid
the blowing out of the we'll We
hope that all will be realized aud
that a gusher will soon he brought
in to demonstrate to the people Of
this section that we have lust as
good an oil field under us as can
be found Mt Beaumont Jennings or
Welsh. If this well the Southern
Pacific Company are boring prove
Il success we feel sure that the
wonderful indication wrought here

THE RICE SITUATION

The movement of rice during
the past few weeks has not been so
brisk as is generally the case at
this season of the year, but the
cause of this is no matter of secret.
The millers and owners of rice in
Southwest Louisiana are sure that
the market must advance on all
grades and that such an advance is
not to be long forthcoming. The
rice crop Of Southwest louisiana.
with possibly the exception OF a few
small Struggling lots, is now under
cover aud by far tho msjpr portion
of the yield has passed from first,
hands into the channels of trade
and consumption > > -
Henry Kahn, the we'll known
president of the National Rice
Milling Company of New Orleans, i
which operates mill at this place,
aud in Crowly, was interviewed by
a Journal representative early in
December ms to his optnlpn Of exist
ing conditions, and whae tsthought

New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1903-01-24

"As we all know" Mr. Kahn
said, cat the opening Of the season
| there was wide variance Of opinion
as to what the total yield of this
seasons crop would amount to,
but it is now generally conceded
that the total production of the two
states (Louisiana and Texas) will
fall short of 100000 bags. This
is now admitted by those who were
the most enthusiastic at the outset
of the season, aud who really be-
lievcd That the yield would greatly
surpass that figure. SO, you See,
the question of what has been
turned out by the two states is a
pretty much settled fact And now
we can state without the slightest
fear of contradiction, that over
two-thirds of this amount has gone
out into the trade for retail distri
button.
Looking at this state Of Alters.
AS it really exists" continued Mr..
Kahn, "from an honest and I'M
biased standpoint, it seems strange
to me, as well rs others in the
business. that the outside world
cannot comprehend the situation and
thoroughly understand its signif-
canoe. We have not over one
fourth Of the rice in sight now that
we had this time last season, aud
the best posted rice men in bnnisi-
ana and Texas will tell you that
over seventy-iive per cent. Of what
is still held is more or less dam
aged. Our mills have practically
completed their seasons business,
and we know this to be the ease
with most of the other mills in the
country. "-Rice journal and Gut
