Louisiana the Coming Oil Field.

Louisiana contains the permanent
oil fields of this country said Cap
tain j. G. Bacon, of Beaumont, in
the st. Charles Hotel Saturday even
ing, to Picayune reporter. IS don't
mean to say anything against Beau
mont, and [ would not like to say any
thing against Beaumont, but my
honest opinion is that in Louisiana
are the coming oil fields of this coun-
try. Jennings, Belle Isle, Anse-la-
Butte, Welsh are all good producers,
far. better than Beaumont, and they
will be producing oil in big quanti-
ties when Beaumont has run dry.
s'' While Beaumont is now prepared
to produce more oil than at any other
time since the opening of the field, the
production is really less. After the
gushers played out there was natural
ly falling off in the production.
Then came the third great period in
the history of the field. the period in
which pumps we're installed. Machin-
cry firms at first were unable to fully
supply the demand. But now nearly
y
every well now has a pump, the pro-
duction of the field is considerably
less than it was before. While the
pumps are working all right, they are
not pumping oil; they are pumping
water. 1t is said that rs per cent of
the product of the wells IS salt water.
[ would not like to say that the per-
centage of water is quite that high but
it is somewhere around there
Mr.. Howard r. Hughes, of Beau
mont, says that at no time since the
opening up of the Beaumont oil field
has there been such opportunities for
the small producer as the present time
The condition of affairs in the field,
as they are at present, puts the big
man and the little man on the same
ground. Nearly always the big inves-
tor has the advantage, but just now
the small investor has equally as
good a show, for which reason this is
the time for the small men to get to
work -Picayune.

anniversary Of his career in the black

try for seven years, and when twenty
one came to America and landed al
Savannah, Ga. This was at the
breaking out of the war of secession,
and he Immediately enlisted in the
Confederate army and for almost four

EXPLANATION.

Some of my competitors have seen fit to comment upon my methods of doing business and establishing a eut-.ate sys- tenn. No doubt they do not ike it, but when the public realizes that while this business has reached a profession at some time when it comes to making arrsnge- ments for funeral that it is a business proposition. for here is not q man n the business today that is in it for an accommodation. They are all after the trade and the dollar and if l can sell goods for less than others and be satis- fled why shouldn't l tell the public so ? Especially so since l am prepared Go give as good service as any one and have just as good a selection of goods. While in- tend to let the public know what l am doing at the same time l have not and never vii loose sight of the sacredness of the business and as to advertising de- scription and prices, cuts, etc., of goods I would not tolerate.

THIS COSTS YOU NOTHING.

w. b. Eastman Will Return Your
Money If Mi-o.na Does Net Cure Dys-
pepsia and Increase Flesh.
There are hundreds of people in St.
Jonsbury who were not the least bit sur.
prised when they readin the CALIFORNIAN
that W. B. Eastman was selling Mona
under guarantee to refund the money,
it case it did not cure indigestion and
increase weight.
This remarkable preparation is true
fesh-forming food, that builds up good,
healthy, solid tissues, and makes thin
ness and scrawniness thing of the past.
1t tones up the digestive organs, and
will cure the worst case of indigestion,
headache, dizziness, or the depressed,
weak condition that atflicts nearly every
one who suffers with stomach trouble.
Mona does not simply relieve; it does
lasting good.
In SO out of every 100 cases where
Mona is used the result is restoration
OF perfect harmony between height and
weight and an absolute and permanent
cure OF all stomach troubles.
There are today hundreds in town
who are recommending Milo ma because
it cured them. A few months ago they
were thin and dyspeptic. and could eat
nothing without tear of stomach trouble.
Since using Mona they have made
noticeable gain in flesh, can eat what
they want, and when they want, with
out fear OF suffering.
Remember that you risk nothing in
buying Mi o-na. Ifit gives you the de-
sired effect, the cost is trifing, if it fails
W. B. Eastman will pay for the remedy
himself.
