LETTER TO GEO. APTHORP.
TalIahAssee. Fla.

Dear Sir-There are several ways of
cheating in milk. An old-fashioned
way is TO water it. Nobody waters it
now. A better way is to take out the
cream rich milk with the cream taken
out Is as good as poor milk with its
cream all in.
But we needn't go into particulars
You don't rob your milk and your Gus
toners.
Paint is as easy as milk to cheat with
Good paint is az rare as good milk; for
human nature is much the same in milk
men and paint men.
You are just and true with your milk /;
80 are we with our paint. Devoe lead
and-zinc is twice as good as mixed
paints. There's twice as much butter
in it.
Mr.. J. T. I.add, Cheraw, s. c., writes:
when Mr.. Evans painted his house
with DevOe, he figured on how other
paints covered and had enough left to
paint three large rooms. He was so
pleased that he has used Devoe on two
other houses"

The Southern Pacific is arrang-
ing to construct at once a hotel al
Carlin, Elko County, and another
at Sparks, Washoe County. The
necessity for the new eating houses
is said to be due to the increasing
traffic of the road and the demand
that decent eating places, not as
sociated with liquor dispensaries,
be provided for the train crews,
engineers and fireman on that di-
vision. An additional reason is
that the roads are handling many
thousands of soldiers over the lines
and that suitable eating and sup
ply places must be provided for
them.

ing along the street leading from the

What Louisiana Has to Offer the HON
Seeker.

Meyer before'in the history of the
south, has this portion of the country
been able to hold out so flattering
propositions to prospective settlers as
at the present time. Irrigation com
panies have become firmly established.
The science Of successful well drilling
has been advanced to such an extent
and the expense of putting down wells
has been so reduced that the problem
of irrigation is now solved, and thou
sands of acres of the richest lands,
which heretofore were practically use
less, are now being converted into the
most productive farms of the United
States, a single crop often bringing
from $40 to 800 per acre, with but lit
tie S.ore EFFORT than is required to pro
duce crop of wheat ia the north
Added to this remarkable productive
ness of the soil, the almost limitless
forest of valuable timber, the richest
sulphur deposits that the world has
eyer known, the worlds chief supply
of petroleum at the present time, and
the most delightful and healthful eli
mate on this continent, and you have
brief survey Uf the natural resOur
ces which this section of the country
has to offer to worthy immigrants.
But besides this, southwestern Lou.
isiana and especially Calcasieu par
ish is rapidly passing the stage of
fronteerism and is acquiring the cul-
ture and conyenienceS of the older
settled districts, having excellent
schools, thriving churches, public IL
braries, electric railways, electric
lights, numerous manufacturing in
terests and spirit of enterprise and
energy such as is seldom found in
any country.
Notwithstanding the richness of
the soil and the splendid opportuni-
ties offered to immigrants, the price
of land is still most reasonable rang
ing from 81 to $50 per acre on easy
terms. That this is u golden oppor-
tunity for the home seekers there can
be no doubt, nor can there be any
doubt but that these lands will ad-
vance greatly in price within the next
few years for lands which will net the
owner $25 to $50 per acre per annum
will not long be on the market for
even one hundred dollars per acre.
We believe the poet had this present
time and condition in mind when he
said: "There is tide in the affairs
of men, which taken at Is lood, leads
on to fortune"

RENEWED ACTIVITIES IN
WELSH OIL FIELD.
Three New Wells Being Put Down.
Various Companies Seeking Leas.
es In Proven And New Fields.

At no time within the past three
years has there been as much activity
displayed in the development of the
Welsh oil field as atthe present, For
the past two or three weeks represen-
tatives of various oil companies have
been busy securing leases in various
parts of the territory both adjacent to
the chosen field and even further away.
These leases are all short term docu-
ments ranging from 60 to 80 days as
the limit asked by the Companies be-
fore beginning work, and most of
them put up cash forfeit, as an cyl
dence of good faith. The Producers
Oil Company which is said to be the
Louisiana end of the Texas Company
is in the lead at the present time, pre-
pairing to start drilling on two wells
by the last of this week. One of these
wells is on their lease of the E. S.
Wood tract of land which is in the
heart of the proven territory. They
have had their derrick up there for
several months past but have failed to
get busy before, but now they have Sc
cured the service of our successful
we'll driller, Jim Bowen, and expect
to begin work there this week. Their
second well is on the Calkins and Pow
ers plantation about a mile south of
the proven field, and two miles west
of Welsh. They have most of their
machinery On the ground and we have
it from reliable parties that they ex-
Dect to begin drilling not later than
the first of next week. Each of these
wells will probably be sunk to a depth
of $500 feet if satisfactory results are
not found before reaching that depth.
This company evidently believe that
there is oil in this vicinity and they
are going to find it if possible.
N. {. Butler representing the Cen
tral City Company, of Jackson, Mich.
igan which brought in the best we'll of
the field last summer is quoted as say
ing that his company will in all prob
ability put down another well in the
near future.
Besides this new territory is being
exploited southeast Of town in the
Unkel neighborhood, where Texas
company, whose firm name we are not
at liberty to give, has the necessary
material nearly all on the ground for
sinking we'll. They expect to be
drilling by the first or middle of the
week. This is in territory where
well was sunk year or two ago which
gave excellent indications but failed
to furnish oil in paying quantities.
In addition to this, representatives
of two other Companies state positive
ly that they will put down wells this
winter if they can secure the necessary
leases.
The falling off of the proceeds of
the various fields throughout the oil
belt, combined with the fact that the
productiveness of the Welsh field al
though small is continuing unimpared,
and that the products of this field are
the most valuable of any in the Gulf
region, Corsiana excepted, is causing
oil men throughout the Southern dis
trict to turn their attention to the
Welsh field, and it is safe to predict
that the next six months will witness
exploiting of thisregion.

finish red brick, with limestone and terra Gotta
trimmings The inside finish is of light yellow
brick and plaster The entire construction is
freproof, and there thousands of tons Of

It has a frontage of 26O feet in Bedford-ave.
and runs back sol feet in Union-st and 3s2 feet
in President-st. At the southeast corner Is
tower twenty-one feet square and rising to
height of 10 feet. From its summit view for
miles out on the ocean can be obtained. Owing
to the drop in the elevation of the site there are
three stories on the President-st- side, whereas
there are only two the Union-st. side.
1t is on the latter side that the great riding
hall is located 1t is 81 feet in length and IT'S
feet in width The roof Is built of seventeen
massive steel arches. which are of an unusual
type of construction. Gray trusses are used to
take up the temperature expansion and contrac-

are anchored firmly in a bed of concrete and the
brick walls built up solidly around them. The
foot Of the north ends of the arches. however
are shod with thick steel plate. and a similar
plate is immovably fixed in the foundations
under each arch support. Between these plates
are three inch friction rollers. on which the up
rights rest and on which they move freely in
