Remarkable Educated Horse.

The remarkable sagacity of Trixie,
the educated horse that was killed in
a railroad wreck recently, is vouched
for by Mrs. Louise Culp, of Cleveland,
O., who saw the animal while it was
on exhibition at the jamestown fair.
>"Spell the lady's name" said Trixie's
owner to the horse. "Her name is
Louise"-dividing the syllables and
pronouncing them "Lo-es."
The horse promptly spelled the
name and spelled it phonetically-
"Lo-es."
About two months later, when he
had become acquainted with the
name, he also conformed to the spell.

What puzzles the students of natural

BARN BURNED.

Last week j. r. Verret. a farmer
lost his barn and stable by fire. The
fire originated in the hay loft and
gave opportunity to save much of the
feedstutf and implements beneath.
While nothing definite is known, it is
supposed the fire, which was discov-
cred early during the night, was
caused by accidental dropping of
matches in the hay.

Lake Oil Co., Pumping Oil From -Four
Wells, YieIa Apout 200 Barrels
Day.
OTHER COMPANIES DRILLING OR
PREPARING TO DRILL.
Impression General! Among Those or
Field That important DEVELOP
ments May Soon Be Expected.


A visit to the AnSe la Butte' oil
field this week rpvea ed renewed activ-
ity, several new wells Dow going down
and prospects good for several more in
the near future. The Lake Oil Com
pany Mr. Silvio Broussard magager,
is still pumping oil from four wells
under air pressure at about 200 barrels
per day. The air compressor is run
by a gigantic engine whose power
comes from half a dozen large boil
ers. The fuel is both gas .and-.oil, and
the ponderous machine works both
day and night, seldom stopping except
for slight incidental repairs. MIR. Brous-
sard stated that the plant had not lost
a day since its installation a year and
q half ago. This company has begun
a new we'll some distance west of the
old wells on the Begnaud tract and
hopes for good results.
The Baton Rouge Company is drill
ing north of the railroad, and the Gau-
treaux Company has begun to sink a
well on the south side of the swamp
near the Moresi wells. The Guffey
Company has erected derrick still
farther south and not far from the
public road, and is now at work drill
ing. The J. Y. S. Company has begun
again and is now drilling an, old we'll
which formerly gave good results. The
Deborah Company nearby is preparing
to resume operations also. The New
iberia Company has apparently sus-
pended operations, but the Guffey Com
pany nearby are still pumping away
although getting very little OIL
The impression seems general among
those on the field that important
developments may soon be expected
and the greatest confidence is ex-
pressed in the mineral resources of
the territory AMI the ultimate success
of the exploiting.
The swamp in the center of the field
is now filled with salt water, a dam
having been built to prevent its flow
into Vermilion river. AS there is
a continuous flow from the wells, the
water is rising higher every day and
its disposition will soon become
quite a problem. Manager Brous-
sard maintains a peculiar theory as
to this water, his belief being that
the water comes underground direct
from the Gulf of Mexico, this con-
viction being based on the fact
that the flow of oil is greatly in
creased when strong South wind
prevails.
Machinery has been taken from
the field to drill a we'll on Col.
Breaux's place in Lafayette parish,
where operations will begin abou
the first of next week. The belief
seems to be fast growing that the
oil field of this section is not res

tricted, but extends over large
portion of South Louisiana, and is
as yet practically untouched. The
existence of vast reservoirs of oil
and extensive deposits of gas can
hardly be doubted, and only awaits
the industry and enterprise of man
to become available for his purposes.
