TO SINK WELL IN CITY LIMITS.
Company Being Organized TO Bore for
Oil Within the Incorporation.

L. Z. Robinson, one of the princi-
pal local promoters of the oil indus
try OF Welsh, informs the Journal that
company composed of Welsh, Lake
Charles and Illinois capitalists is now
being organized for the purpose of
sinking an oil well within the city
limits of Welsh.
According to Mr.. Robinson the
probable location of what may prove
the pioneer we'll of great oil field
is on the land of 81. Z. Head in the
eastern limits and not . great dis
tance from the Gulf rice mill. There
are in this particular neighborhood
unmistakNble indications Of oil. In
the irrigating wells Of both J. w
Cooper and II. E. Head. much of the
black fluid has been pumped up. E.
S. Abbott states that in cutting rice
before the water had thoroughly run
of, he noticed the entire surface GOV.
cred with aslight skum of oil from an
irrigating we'll.
These encouraging reports Of sur
face indications made stronger the be-
lief that oil. existed at this point.
Matters will haYe been definitely ar.
ranged within the next few days and
it is expected to begin drilling by
October |.
The organization of company for
the development of this new field is in
connection with, and the direct result
of, Mr.. RObinsOn'S recent visit In the
north, and will have q tendency to
enliven matters here and revive the
oil industry ct this place. Should q
paying we'll be brought in within the
city limits of Welsh it would mean o
rapid development of a new field and
a similar growth to the town Of Welsh.

Rer. and Mrs. TAYLOR Return.

Rev. Corwin Taylor and bride ar
rived in Welsh Friday morning from
Sloan Springs, Ark, where they had
been spending their honeymoon and
are now cozily domiciled in the Meth
oList parsonage.
Friday evening the members OF the
NJ. E. church and their friends, about
one hundred in number, gave Rowan
Mrs. Taylor a surprise reception. The
members of the church presented them
with two rockers and set OF dining
chairs, while the friends showered
congratulations upon them. Frank
Moore acted as spokesman and made
q very creditable presentation talk.
The large number present was an
evidence of Rev. TaylOr'S popularity,
not only among his own flock, but
among the members of other churches
as we'll, and all join in wishing the
reverend gentleman and wife heavens
richest blessings.

Stolen Goods Recovered.

Sheriff D. J. Reid Sunday evening
received large part Of the goods of
which the Perkins & Miller store at
Westlake was robbed. They we're
secreted in an old, abandoned saw
mill on an island between Westlake
and Lake Charles. The tip as to the
location of the goods was given by
the three men who were lodged in Jail
Sunday morning charged with the
theft. Eugene Frazier, alias Moore,
Harry McLsrin, alias Young, were
captured in Houston while they were
peddling cutlery stolen from the Per-
kins & Miller store, and other goods
from the store were found among their
effects. Lyman Herring, the third
prisoner, was captured in Beaumont.
Fully a score Of burglaries were COM
mitted in Lake Charles last winter,
Herring being captured in connection
with one of them, and the officers be-
lieve they have made an important
haul.

CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION NEEDED
To Teach Rice Belt Hotels and Res.
taursnts to Serve Rice.

The Beaumont Journal says: "Rice,
Rice! Acres Of it everywhere, mills
full OF it and warehouses building to
store it, but not bite of it to eat!
Such was the exclamation of trav.
cling man few days ago at the Cros-
by house, who with his family is TAX
ing run trough the sunny southland
in search Of recreation. The party to
whom the remark was intended was
interested in q minute aud asked to
now the reason Of the remark.
"Well," was the reply, myself and
family are great lovers of rice. We
have travelled ell over the world at
odd times in our lives, and in all
countries and all places have been
able to get rice cooked as we wanted
it without any more than the simple
asking for it. We lave been in Beau
mont two days now and have tried
every place in town where there is a
chance to obtain a good meal, but at
not one place was there anything do
ing for the rice industry. Funny,
amt it2 Here you hear them holler-
ing about the educating of people to
use rice, and their own hotels and res
taurantS act as though they never
heard of it when you ask for it. Talk
about about going to the Worlds fair
and establishing rice kitchen!
think that the rice men of this section
ought to get together and patronize
no hotel or restaurant that did not
serve rice or was prepared to serve il
when the same was called for by a pa,
iron of the establishment. Here We
are in the garden spot of the rice belt
where the world could be supplied
with it, and cannot get a dish of it.

Lightning's Freakish Franks,

Deputy Sheriff H. NJ. Chitwood and
his wife, aged sixty-one and sixty
two years, respectively, had a re-
markable escape from death by light
ming Tuesday afternoon at their resi-
dence in Lake Charles. The house
was struck in five different places at
the same time, a large tree outside
was split from top to bottom, and a
cistern on the other side of the house
was split in a dozen places. A bolt Of
lightning smashed a tree not five feet
from where Mr.. ChitWood was sitting
by an open window, and another bolt
passed the wall of a room where Mrs.
Chitwood was sitting in another por-
ton of the house, missing her by not
more than three feet. Both were
stunned by the shock, but will recover.
Every portion of the house was splin-
tered.

WEALTH INCREASES,
Assessment Shows q Gain Of q Third
ola Million in O Year.

The assessment rolls of Calcasieu
parish have been filed with the clerk
for 1904, the figures showing an in
crease in taxable property over last
year of about $3.50. 900.
The American says that two hun
dred and fifty thousand of this in
crease comes out of the city of Lake
Charles, and no assessment within the
city limits has been raised. The in
crease, consequently, is the natural
growth in valuation OF the city prop
erty. Considering that the polls in
CalcaSieu parish are shown by the
books to number $500, this is indeed
wonderful growth in values for one
year.
The machinery and railroad mile
age in CalcaSieu parish pays more
taxes than the eight largest towns in
the parish put together, including
Lake Charles, Jennings and Welsh.
Jennings and Welsh have no special
taxes and are the only two towns in
the parish that have none.
The cash valuation of all the land
acreage in Calcasieu parish is
$8,Ol5, 865. The cash value OF the lots
is given at SO, 27O, 995. The cash value
of the horses and cattle in the parish
is given at $649, 72O; of the vehicles at
S97, 600: the merchandise at $6l8, $40;
of the moneys, 521, $50, making q per
capita practically of $69.50 Of money
to each person. The total valuation
of the steamboats, and barges in the
parish is given at $40. $50. The other
property subject to assessment aggre.
gates 50, l6f, 1876. The total assessment
OF the white population Of Calcasieu
parish foots up SIG, 254, 1885, and the
assessment Of the colored population,

Last Nights Entertainment.

The Sunday school entertainment
at the NJ. E. church last night was
greeted by a very appreciative
audience. The fancy drill work and
artistic posing provoked much favor
able comment from those present.
OF course the brownies and the chill
dren's acrobatic song was thoroughly
enjoyed by all. The little girls who
did the club swinging deserve much
praise. Miss Eva Roberts in her solo
work did herself proud and of course
was forced to respond to an encore.
Mrs. Shuck was at her best and did
her usual artistic work in two seiso-
tions, she being compelled to respond
to an encore.
Miss Anna Amter showed much
ability in reading and was called back
by the audience.
Many features were unique and the
entire program was very gratifying
to its promoters.
