Producing 1000 Barrels Daily But

Wells Being Drilled.

Wednesday at 2:3O D. m. a
second gusher was brought in at
Anse la Butte by the Haywood
Oil Corporation. It is about 800
feet north of the Lake gusher
and near the Lake Office building.
The capacity is about 1000 bar
rels day with nearly Is per
cent water. The we'll is report
ed as improving and it is hoped
that it will develop into a strong
gusher.
The Lake Grow gusher, the
first brought in over a month ago
is still flowing and is producing
about 1000 barrels daily. This
company is expecting to bring in
well on the Begneaud tract
now at anytime. The indica.
tions so far are fine.
There are number of wells be-
| lingdrilled and thereOught shortly
to be several more gushers in
operation. There is good
authority for believing so, fol
an experienced oil man and geo
logist who visited the field Wed
nesday expressed the opinion
that oil existed at Anse la Butte
| in large quantities. Besides. the
gas and oil already found show
there is Oh! in plenty a. the Butte

INDUSTRIAL
INSTITUTE.


west Louisiana called by Presi-
dent E. L. Stephens of the In
dustrial Institute to make ar
rangements for the annual track
meet of the Intercholastic Ath-
letic and Oratorical Association
was held at the Gordon Hotel
Saturday. The following were
present: Prin. F. D. J. Kaess-
mann, of Leesville, Prof. E. D.
Han.on, of Jennings, Prin. }. q.
Chapman, of Crowley, Prin. S.
E. l.. Brown, of New Iberia.
Prin. w. H. Crawford, of Patter-

cite, Supt. V. L. Roy, of Lafay-
cite, and President E. l.. Steph-
ems, Mayor c. G. McCrory, and
Messrs. Ashby Woodson, Ralph
Agate, and Jefferson Catfery OF
the Faculty of the Industrial
Institute. Various amendments
were offered to the constitution
of the association. 1t was decided
that hereafter the officials OF the
annual meet shall be professional
track men from distance, not
connected with any of the schools
contesting. The place of hold
ing the annual meet will be de-
cided each year by the Execu-
tive Board, regardless of where
the championship cup may go.
The system of handicaps shall
be modified in such way as to
put all the contesting schools on
an absolute equality irrespective
of the number of students they
may have and also to their aver
age age. Three entries will be
allowed to each school for each
event, but only two of these will
actually enter the contest, as the
Association is growing so large
that it would be impossible to
carry thru the program, in one
day. It is expected that there
will be fifteen schools in the next
contest. The number partici-
pating in the oratorical contest
will be limited to eight, altho any
number of schools may submit
their orations in competition for
places among these eight. These
eight will be rejected upon the
merits of thought and compost.

The next meet will be held in
Lafayette either on April 4, OF

Throughout the state the bussines
men are favorable to the nomination of
Candidate Prouty for the governorship.
They express themselves as pleased
with the business administration
through which they have passed and
desire continuation. The whole mat
ter is summed up nicely by promi-
nent business man Of Burlington: eve
have tried business man for governor
and through him more good has been
done the state the past two years than
in a whole decade It's pretty good
idea to keep on in the good way we
have started. Surely. now is not the
time to back up. Vermont is going
ahead and can continue to make prog
ress with the right men at the helm.
So. say, let's all turn in for Prouty
because he is a business man, and
never saw him in my life

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together:
and until the last few years it was supposed to
be incurable. For a greatmany years doctors
pronounced it local disease, ard prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to poonful- 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for circu-
lars and testimonials.

by the state.

by the state.
There is serious and mighty ques-
ton regarding what the position of
Candidate Stanton will be in case he
should be made the executive.
Prouty has made a record. He has
declared time and time again that upon
that record he will continue to stand.
The situation of the railroads is like
this: They claim that the one per cent
tax on the appraised valuation of their
trackage is excessive.
Is it?
Let's see: The farmers and the
business men of Vermont have to pay
fully so per cent more than the rail
roads under the new act which they
refuse to comply with. The act Of the
two railroads in refusing to pay their
tax may be good citizenship from the
viewpoint of the railroad corporations,
but it is not good citizenship as viewed
by the true and loya, citizen.
The railroads are trying their
strength in this governorship contest
and they are straining mind and
muscle to the utmost. To win with the
nomination of Stanton means their
domination in matters legislative.
1t further means that the men upoI
the farm and the men in all commercial
lines of industry will have a greater
tax to pay than under the act which
the railroads are now fighting.
Summed up briefly the situation is
this:
With Prouty as governor the railroad
corporations must bow to the dictates
of the law-the law they now detes1
and are fighting in the courts.
Their hope is Stanton.
They are energetically seeking hi
nomination.
The farmers and business men al
over the state are with Prouty. The.
| have a reason.
The Prouty campaign will be waget
on the policy. of fairness to all, favor
to none just tax levied on all prop
erty, railroad as we'll as other hold
ings, laws to punish the violator 0
laws; prosperity for the people
greater and grander Vermont.

inches, and of course all trees are fully
