Oh FIELD MITES.
Several New Companies Soon 10 Eegin
Operations in MGlNh.

The Welsh Oil Field continues to be
the Mecca in which oil men and com.
panies are seeking to find deliveranCe
from the woes caused 10y the decrease
in the output of other southern fields.
Although no great finds have been
made SO far, the perSiStency with
which oil men continue operations in
this field is an evidence of their belief
that there is something good here and
that they will eventually find it. The
| facts seem to be that while they know
they can get oil in quantities such as
the wells here have been yielding they
are now seeking for greater flow If
this is not found then paying wells
will be developed in the strata of oil
| sand which is known to underlie the
field. Several new companies will be
operating in the field within few
DAYS. The Sun people are getting
their derrick up and expect to begin
drilling within a few DAYS, their well
is located eight hundred feet east of
the Rio Brave we'll in the proven field.
The Texas-ColoradO Syndicate have
their outfit on the cars here at Welsh
today Thursday and expect to begin
work north of the proven field within
a short time. 1t is stated on reliable
authority that this company will put
down five wells in the field shorts. 1t
is pretty we'll understood that still an
other company will begin putting
down a wildcat we'll on G. W. Cos
ner's place, miles north of Welsh.
within go days.
The Texas Company is persistently
pounding away at their deep well on
the Woods lease. While no outsider
knows exactly how deep down they are
it is rumored that they are beyond the
three thousand feet mark. The Cen
trail City people will begin pumping
their new we'll next week.
1t is predicted by one who is a good
Judge of such matters, that the next
three months will see the greatest de-
velopements in the Welsh field that
has occurred since it was opened up.

Bridge Between Welsh and Oil Field
In Bad Condition.

Much complaint is being made re-
garding the dilapidated condition of
the long bridge between Welsh and
the oil field. The floor of this bridge
is said to be in such a decayed condi-
tion that there are numerous holes in
it of sufficient size for a horse to put
its foot through. MANY of the planks
which are not ALREADY broken have
become SO badly decayed that they
are in danger of being broken at any
time, by horse stepping upon them.
Several complaints have reached this
Office recently from people whose
horses have stepped in these holes
and came near being seriously in
jured. We have also been informed
that the police jury of this ward has
been notified repeatedly, both verbal.
ly and in writing, of the dangerous
condition of this bridge, and yet for
some unknown reason there seems to
have been no action taken for remedy
ing the same.
There can be no doubt but that the
condition of affairs should be changed
The people of this ward paw sufficient
taxes to warrant them in asking fol
bridges which are at least safe tt
travel over. Again, if through neg
lect to repair this bridge some one il
killed or seriously injured, the parisl
or ward would in all probability b
involved in a damage suit which woul'
cost much more than repairing tn
bridge would have cost in the frs
place.

What a Boy Can DO.

An interesting example Of what a
boy can do when he tries, and one
worthy of commentator bv his elders,
and emulation by his associates, can
be seen in the work of Charley Sene-
ften. Charley, who is twelve or thir-
teen wears old, concluded few
months ago that it was time for him to
turn over new leaf and give up the
worthless life of the CANNON, which
he was leading, and get onto the road
to make man of himself. He went
to work in the Gulf mill and began
saving his money, and as regularly
as pay day comes Charley puts a
good part of his wages in the bank.
He now has a neat little bank account
that reaches up close to the hundred
mark, and will 60 to hundred and
fifty or more before the season is over.
While he has never taken much inter-
est in schooling he says now that he
sees the need of an education, and
that he is going to school next year
on the money he has saved. The
Journal sincerely hopes that he will
stick to his good resolutions. There
! is no position that the American boy
may not hope to attain if he goes at il
as this one has been doing lately.
Stick to it Charley, that is the way
real men are made.

Strawberries by the Box.

Hitherto we have been noting the
appearance of early Strawberries in
small quantities, but now they begin

Wolf for two boxes of fine strawber'
ries left with US Wednesday. Mrs
DeWolf says that she has picked as
much as twenty quarts at picking

cents per quart, it is easily seen tha
February strawberries are profitable

Capt. John r. Slatterly's View on the
Rice Situation.

In an interview with Capt. Jno. p.
Slatterly. who was in Welsh Wednes-
day. He said that indications are
that there will be an increase of about
seven per cent in the acreage OF rice
put in, in Texas this year over that
sown last year. The farmers are in a
position to give their ground better
culture this year than last owing to
the fine season. Indications are that
the Weld per acre will be much better
this wear than the last owning to the
better condition of the soil. At this
season last year farmers were plow-
ing their fields up very wet, a dry
spring followed and the furrow was
baked into something closely akin to
brick. Bacterial action was greatly
retarded under such conditions and
the result was a poor yield in many
instances. 1t would be better for
farmers to furnish their men with
newspapers and let them read rather
thah work when the ground is so wet
as it was last spring. Farmers can
not violate the well known laws of az
riculture and expect to make a full
crop. 1t is hoped that they will learn
by experience and thoroughly ditch
their ground in the future.
Fertilizer will always help the farm
er whose land is drained, but may
yield no returns to the farmer who
plows his land wet, especially late il
the spring. Fall blowing while wet i.
not so disastrous.

His property, however, schedules
twice as much as his liabilities.
In his deed of assignment, he in

skirts of Welsh, not realizing at the
time that the law gave him the right tC
hold it exempt. Afterward he found
out he was surrendering his rights
and brought proceedings against D.

The case was tried before judge

that as matter of public policy, i

Recent Improvements on the North
Side.

That the people in the north part OF
Welsh are prosperous and progress
inc is evinced by the general improve
ment that is going on there, and
which is making the north side one OF
the most prosperous appearing and
desirable residence portions of the
city. The following are few of tho
recent improvements which we noticed
while going through that portion of
the town this week:
Joe Russell has just completed a
neat two story residence two blocks
east of the parsonage, and will soon
have a comfortable home there. Rev.
Carruth has erected cOmmOdious
barn and buggy house on the parson-
age lots which add much to the con-
venience of the parsonage. j. Nj.
Shoemaker, the energetic foreman of
the Armstrong shops, has built sever
al additional rooms onto his home
and treated it to a new coat of paint
which makes it one of the neatest cot
tage residences in town. While Chas.
Ryder has almost entirely recon-
structed the old G. E. Smith place
which he recently purchased, having
expended about $1,000, on the same. 1t
is nicely reprinted and repapered and
is said to be one OF the best finished
J houses in Welsh at the present time.
Our jolly English friend, Fred John
ston, is just completing putting up a
woven wire fence around the two lots
which he recently purchased just south
of his residence, and will convert the
same into a pasture lot. H, E. Wes-
son is thoroughly overhauling his
place, having repainted and finished
the house throughout. He has torn
down and removed the old paling
fence which was around his fine old
china grove and will replace it with a
neat picket fence. He Is putting out q
fine lot of fruit trees, opening up two
new streets through his property, one
east and the other north of the house
and will soon have an ideal home. He
will begin putting down new irriga-
tion we'll within about 80 days to ir-
rigate his farm which is adjoining his
city property. Our modest Young
friend and former (printer's) devil,
David Peterseim, has built neat lit
tie barn for his horse and buggy,
which will keep them in such good
shape that we are sure some girl will
be glad to ride with him. r. M. Gray,
the business end of the Calcasieu In
plement Co., is putting about two hun
dred loads of dirt upon the two lots
just south of his present residence and
expects to build cOmmodious resi-.
dence upon them in the near future.
r. P. Willard has been putting ur
considerable new fencing and making
general repairs upon his residence
property which enhances the value o.
it. Much new sidewalk has also beer
laid in that section of the city. Two
line of walks, one from the Methods
parsonage to Mr.. NELSON'S place
and another from near the section
house east and north to the Wessol
property fill a long felt want for th'
residents of that section of the city
This is but part of what may b.
seen of progress in that section of GU
city.
