texas Company to Operate at Welsh,

A very important deed of transfer
by sale of lease of Welsh oil lands
has been filed in the clerks Office at
Lake Charles. The lease is from w.
p. Binyon, of Beaumont, Tex, to F..
w. Freeman, Trustee, also of Beau
mont, passed before Samuel j. Payne,
notary public of Jefferson county,
Tex, and Witnessed by w. Il. Camp
bell and G.. w. Hurd, all prominent
oil men in the various Texas fields.
The fact that f. w. Freeman is secre-
tary of the Texas Company, one OF
the strongest and most successful oil
producing companies in the state OF
Texas, makes this transaction and its
entering this State one of much i'm
portance to the oil land owners OF
Louisiana, and is quite an Endorse
ment of the claims of the Welsh field
as one of the coming Oil fields of the
South. The lease came to Mr.. Bin
Won from f.. S. Wood. the owner OF
the Wood farm, where oil was first
found, and now a part of the proven
oil field of Welsh, and the considera-
C1OD To MI. w OOu DIS Su5Il DoIuS
of $1,000 and one-eighth of the oil
found on the land free of charge. The
lease calls for the first well to be com.
menced within thirty days. but it is
probable that operations will begin
before that time as negotiations are
now pending. All the land in the
lease, one acre excepted, is beyond
the present proven field and for this
reason the coming to Welsh of this
big Texas company means develop.
ment beyond the present limits. The
land covered by the lease, fifty-siX
acres, or lots, lies north, south, south.
west and northwest of the wells now
producing oil, much OF it nearly hall
mile distant.-N. O. Times-Demo.

Bright Outlook in Welsh Field.

j @. Keller, manager of the Mer-
chants Oil Company, who own and
operate large tract of land in the
heart of the proven oil field at Welsh,
was in the city Saturday afternoon
calling on local oil men and looking
after the business interest of the com
pany, says the Jennings Times
Record. ........
1.-The Welsh field is looking very
bright taking into consideration the
many disadvantages under which we
have had to work. said Mr.. Keller
while in conversatio with represent
alive of the Times-Record, land it is
my opinion that as soon as the Mac
Faddin well, of which developments
are now pending to a great extent, is
completed the Welsh field will be the
scene of more activities than was ever
known in her history. Several large
deals have recently been consumm ated
and others will be as soon as it is
learned that the Welsh oil field is a
paying proposition. 1t is the inten-
ton of our company to commence
operations SOON"
Mr.. Keller is greatly interested in
the -Rowbotham screen and says
that he is very anxious to have the
screen which is revolutionizing the
Jennings field introduced in Welsh
and is here today for the purpose of
making a thorough examination. He
saws that he is certain that the great
est draw back to the Welsh field has
been the screening which has been
used in many of TIE wells.

Father Cary's View of Rice Outlook

Father S. L. Cary, of Jennings, the
veteran rice authority, in speaking OF
the outlook of that cereal for the
coming season, said to Times
Record reporter:
'It is always the case during a
presidential campaign, and before it,,
that money is scarce, but with the war
between two great nations going,
there is tendency to loosen the mon
ey which is being boarded and the
great Southwest is sure to receive her
portion of the prosperity for we have
everything that is needed in war;
Rice is the best food, we have the sui
phur, we have oil for fuel and cotton
for clothing, and there is positively
no reason why times should not be
better and that very soon.
''The oncoming crop will be one of
the earliest ever known as the ground
is now in condition for blowing rap
idly and already many energetic
planters have finished this work and
are only waiting for it to get a little
warmer and then sowing will start. 1t
is known that early rice always brings
d much better price than late and
judging from all of the above points L
again make the statement that Jen-
nings is in the height of it's prosperi-
ty as we'll as all other portions of
Southwest Louisiana.
