Spanish Seed Rice.

According to the Jennings Times
Record very large proportion of the
rice planted in Calcasieu this year will
be an early variety of Japan, and con-
siderable Spanish seed from Valencia,
Spain, will also be planted.
Mr.. VIM, of Port Arthur, who
makes speciality of seed rice will ex-
pertinent this year with an early va
riety. On this point the Times-Rec-
ord says:
MIR. VIM stated that he has just
closed the contract with the New Or
leans seed rice importers for large
amount of seed rice which is imported
from Valencia, Spain and it is claim
ed that this rice will mature at least
ten days before any other grade OF
goods that has ever been raised in
this country. Mr.. VIM will try this
rice this year merely as an experiment
and if it natures as is advertised II
will be one of the greatest benefits
known in the rice business for the pro-
motion of rice. Early rice, like the
early bird catches the worm, and thai
which is placed on the market frs
always gets the longest worm. "

About Oil Matters.

L. W. Brown, general field manager
of the Southern Paciic's oil interests
in Louisiana and Texas, was In
Welsh Tuesday.
Before going to press Thursday G.
B. Speed informed the JOURNAL that
oil sand had been penetrated in Hill
Top No. 4 at depth of $50 feet and
that the casing would be set and the
we'll washed out and probably balled
today. He said there was good
showing of gas and some oil.
1t is unofficially reported that the
Standard Oil Company has secured a
valuable holding in the heart OF the
Jennings field on which it will begin
development at once, says dispatch
from that city. The Standard has ex-
tensive holdings in this section OF the
country, and will probably do great
deal of wild eating.
A correspondent says: The opera
lions at the field are about as usual,
some oil and much salt water, but
there is confidence, and those inter-
ested seem to be well satisfied with
the results, remembering as they do
that the Welsh field is only as yet
small pumping proposition. The OIL,
however, is of superior quality, and
sells for 81 per barrel on the field.
The writer in company with l..
Whitsett, field manager FOR the Meth
erlands-Boor Z Consortium, made a
trip to the oil field Monday afternoon
and had the pleasure of witnessing the
performance of the Mac Fadden well
which has been flowing steadily the
past seventeen days. The production
of the we'll was tested during the after
noon and at the rate it was at attlme
gushing the test showed that in twenty
four hours it would emit about 21C
BARRELS af fluid. The test also de-
monstrated that thirty-four per cent
of the output was oil, making the well
between a 90 and 1QQ-barrel producer,
i While the jennings field is proba,
bly, undergoing the most progressive
time in history, the field owned prln'
cipally by residents of our sister town
Welsh, is on the verge of one OF the
most promising seasons ever known
in that locality. The field is spread

Low CoIonist Rates.

The Southern Pacific announces that
from March 1st to April 30th, inclu-
sive, there will be on sale daily low
colonist one way tickets from all
points in Louisiana and Texas to
points in California, affording an OPP
portunity for men of limited means to
travel to the Pacific coast at very
small cost. These periodical low rates
have proven very popular and 1t is
quite likely that many will take ad-
vantage of them during the period in
dictated. The Southern Pacific oper-
ates free reclining chair cars and Pull
man tourist sleepers all the way
through, which, with the use of cinder-
less, oil-burning locomotives, make
travel far more comfortable than ever
before. Those desiring information
can obtain same by applying to near

IT'S I'D to Welsh.

IA It's Up to Welsh.
St Rice Belt Journal. of Welsh, |
Il s issue of March IS, publishes in
views with thirteen OF the proml-
E lent rice men of Welsh who recently
TWISTED the Mermentau dam for the
purpose of satisfying themselves as to
the practical value of the Improvement
to the Mermentau basin. Every one
of the thirteen express themselves IN
enthusiastic terms as to the great
value Of the dam and locks, and the
opinion is unanimous that salt water
has been effectively shut out.
IN view of the fact that heretofore
the welsh rice men have been skepti-
cal as to the practicability of the Mer-
mentau Improvement, this change OF
art is significant and it is hopeful

HAVING FAIR LUCK.

Wasteful Slaughter of Moose Repor-
ted by Returning Hunters.
Every man hereabouts who lays claim
to any knowledge of the art of moose
hunting has been busy since the open
ing OF the season acting as guide, ETC..
for the numerous visiting moose hunters
who arrive on every boat. If our ears
serve us right the guides, in some cases,
did all the hunting while the "hunters"
enjoyed free and easy times in lavishly
supplied camps. Not all have been
successful, sevsral of the hunters hav-
ing already returned to their homes in
other parts empty handed and discour-
aged. Others have been more fortunate
with the aid of excellent guides: A
party of three, including State Game
Warden Fullerton, left on the America
Thursday with four mooseaeads. They
could not bring the carcasses out 80
they left them in the woods. This in-
formation comes to us from sources that
seem reliable. It has caused consider
able comment in town and lovers of
true sport freely express their indig-
nation at such warton waste of precious
game. They can see no virtue in game
law that forbids the settler killing moose
to supply one of the necessities of life
for himself or his family aud then per-
mits them to be thus recklessly destroyed
in punches aud left in the woods to rot.

INVENT WEARS AGO.
Returns of the First Election Held in
Cook County.

Some interesting comparisons may be
made between the returns of the first
election held in Cook county, twenty
two years ago, and those of the election
just held. In that election forty.three
votes were cast, as compared with 286
votes cast at the late election. A no.
ticeable feature of these returns is the
exceptionally harmonious spirit shown,
the full forty-three votes being cast for
every candidate on the ticket. Those
elected to county Office at that time
were as follows:
Auditor M. Miller.
Treasurer-J. E. Mayhew.
Register of deeds-Thos. w. Mayhem.
Surveyor-Nick Probeck.
Coroner-L. E. Montferrand.
County commissioners - Charles NJ.
Wilson, Hazael May hew and Samuel F.
Howenstine.
Justices of the Peace-John A. Nc.
Farland and Plummer S. Yack.
Constables-Aodrew J. Scott and
Godfrey Montferrand.
That was the year of the great Kin
dred Nelson campaign for congress. The
bitterness of that campaign gave this
congressional district tho title of the
"Bloody Fifth" but is evident that
none of that bitterness was felt here, for
G. F. Kindred was given the unanimous
vote of the county. There have been
many times since, however, that his
worthy adversary at that time has Jared
much better at the hands of the voters
of this county.
