of Hon. J. L. M. Curry, as one OF her

opposition to its being received by
Congress may develop at the next

PACE OIL COMPANY.

Mr.. ]. ID. Pace and associates
have organized a compan.y for
the purpose of drilling for oil in
the oil field southeast of Winn-
field. There is every evidence OF
oil in that locality. There have
been two holes put down: The
first struck flow of gas that
made it impossible to drill further
and the last was abandoned for
want of means to prosecute the
work.
Now the new company has
lease on the property and is
backed by ample capital to COM
plete the work and show those
who are either doubling or knock
ing the proposition. If the COM
pany only gets the flow OF
natural gas under cor troll so that
it can be used as fuel this alone
will amount to great deal for
Winfield and Winn parish.
Winfield needs and will have by
next season an ice plant and il
they can run their machinery by
natural gas they will certainly
lead the market in the sale of ice,
as they can make it cheaper than
any other factory in the country,
Then the brick companies can
make their bricl- SO that they will
be without competition in prices,
All other enterprises that use
fuel will be in the same position
If the company is successful IN
getting oil, the fuel proposition
will be just as good for manu-.
featuring purposes. as oil IS next
to gas where transportation is moi
necessary.

The average man cannot afford
to employ a physician for every
slight ailment or injury that may
occurr in his family, nor can he
afford to neglect them, as so
slight an injury as the scratch of

the loss of . limb. Hence every
man must from necessity be his

ments. Success often depends

THE STATE UNIVERSITY AND A. & N.
C0llE6E.

This great institution of learn
ing under State supervision isl
doing more for the higher educa-
ton of the young men of LOUIS
lana than any other university IN
the South. the law and medical
branches excepted. This institu-
ton has not takea up these two
branches on account of the fact
that the State of Louisiana turned
over to the administrators of the
Tulane Educational Fund, that
valuable property fronting on
then Common Street between
Baronne and Dryades Streets and
the old Mechanics Institute
fronting on Dryades Street, New
Orleans. for the purpose of car
rying on these two departments
of the old University of Louisiana.
and giving the medical depart
ment access to the celebrated
Charity Hospital of New Orleans,
another institution owned and
fostered by the State of Louisiana.
For twenty-five years this ar
rangement has been working sat
isfactorily until the present ses-
sion of the General Assembly.
when bill was introduced asking
an appropriation of 10000 for
Tulane University. This came as
a surprise to everyone who was
familiar with the conditions that
existed when the State of Louis
lana gave the property of the old
University of Louisiana to the
administrators OF the. Tulane Edu-
cational Fund. There we're many
members of the General Assembly
at that time opposed to the sur
render of this property unless the
State should be represented or
the board of control. Every as.
surancc was then given thai
should the State give this prop.
erty to the Tulane administrator.
and give them the privileges
mentioned above that the State
of Louisiana would never be
called upon to help the new
school, as Tulane University WOULD
be maintained by private requests
which the advocates said they
knew would be given. A further
agreement made. which was in,
corporated in the bill. was thai
each member of the House and
Senate of the General Assembly
should be authorized to appoint a
student to the academic depart
ment with a free scholarship
The students throughout the State
have never availed themselves oil
this, only in rare cases. outside OF
the city of New Orleans.
We can not see any reason for
the State to appropriate money
to an institution for academic
instruction, especially when the
State has no voice in the man.
agement of the money so appro-
priated. And again, when we
have an institution entirely man
aged and fostcred by the State.
The people of VIM parish APP
plaud the course taken by her
representative. Hon. H. P.
Gamble, in this matter.
If the State has the money to
devote in that way we would
suggest that the appropriation to
the Louisiana State University
and Agricultural and Mechanical
College be increased and make
that institution all that was in.

from the general government.
