Gentlemen: | amdirected by your

tiOns of Members to submit the follow
ing report:
We, your Committee on Elections
and Qualifications of Members. after
investigating the case of Representa-
tive ST. Julien, to determine whether
he had right to sit as member of
the House, have come to the following
conclusions:
First-That if he had been occupy
ing dual office he had done so with
out being aware of the fact and being
under the impression that he was nol
occupying the position of State Rep
resentative any more, as his resigna.
ton had been accepted by the Govern
or and by one not in authority to do
So, and
Second-That although the opinion
of the Attorney General is that a
Deputy Clerk cannot be member of
the Legislature and hold both Offices
at the same time, we hold the written
opinion of an ex-Judge of the Supreme
Court of the State. who stated official
ly. when he accepted Mr. st. Julien's
resignation: II am decidedly of the
opinion that your becoming Deputy
Clerk of the Court is not at all incon-
sistent with your holding the position
as Representative in the General AS
sembly." Basing ourselves on such
opinion of the Governor OF his State,
we have come to the conclusion that
Mr.. St. Julien is not guilty OF dual
Office holding, and we are therefore OF
the opinion that Mr.. st. Julien should
he retained as member of this House,
and we hereby recommend that he be
gi zen his seat as a member OF this
House from the Parish of Lafayette,
and reinvite him to sit with us during
this extra session.

at last got genuine gusher. 1t
is the real article and is spOuting
oil for the company that owns it
at the rate of five thousand bar
rels day,
Those who have been spending
thousands Of dollars developing
the field on their confidence
that there was oil at Anse La
Butte in large quantities now
have their confidence justified.
The gusher proves beyond Il
doubt that the field is one of the
big oil fields of the country.
The gusher is the property of
the Lake Oil Company and is To-
Gated in the middle of the oil
field. 1t is about one hundred
yards from the Capt. Lucas well,
the first ever put down in the
field. and is within $50 yards of
the Baton Rouge Lafayette
railroad. The land is the prop
erty of State Senator Robt. Mar
tin who will get a ten per cent
royalty from the company. He
acquired the land on which the
we'll is located, containing A
arpents, from Mr.. HOnore Beg
neaud, paying for it a planta.
ton valued at $4,000, also obi.
eating himself to pay Mr.. Beg
neaud in addition $4,000 in cash
in case oil should be obtained.
The Lake Oil Company. which
is the fortunate owner of this big
proposition, is composed of home
people. the principal stockhOld-
ers being Senator Robt. Martin,
of st Martinville, Mr.. Walter
Burke of New iberia, Dr.. Geo.
Sabatier of New iberia, Mr..
Shelby Sanders of Franklin,
and DR.. F. R. Martin of Crowley.
The gusher came as big sur
prise to all concerned, only
a good pumper being hoped for
as the field so far has only furn-
ished bumpers. And there are
a number of very good bumpers
now yielding. The gusher made
its appearance about 10 o'clock
Thursday morning and came
with a rush. shooting the oil ten
or twelve feet above the derrick
which is y feet high. The yield
is oil. the real article, and the
flow continues steady, yielding
in the neighbOrhood, if not fully
5000 barrels of oil every "a hours.
AS oil is worth about 81 90 a
barrel at present, it looks very
much like the stockholders will
have a merry Thanksgiving.
The well is in the neighbor-
hood of nineteen hundred feet
deep, and was put down by Mr..
Lake Grow, a member of the
company and from whom the
company was named. During
the progress of the we'll while
there were at all times encourag.
ing indications of oil, yet there
was no sign of gusher, and
when it did come in, it was a tre-
nendous surprise. When the
news was given out that Anse La
Butte had the real thing in a
gusher, there was excitement a
plenty and all Thursday after
noon and all day Friday people
went to the oil fields to see it
By Thursday about noon the
gusher had been controlled and
put into a pipe directing the flow
