A klnu,s Hobby

London.-The late King of Siam
had an extraordinary hobby-that of
collecting empty match boxes of all
nations. In this connection an inter-
esting story is related. During one
of his visits to London the King while
passing down Bond street one after
noon accompanied by two members of
his suite espied an empty match box
which had been discarded by it's own.
er and thrown away into the middle
of the thoroughfare.
Without a moments thought the
monarch dashed into the middle of
the crowded trafflc, grasped the much
coveted treasure and was nearly run
over by passing cab. The fact, how.
ever, that he was able to add a new
specimen to his collection-gathered
under such circumstances-mone than
compensated him for the risk which
he had run.

To the NeuU Year
and the Old Friends

The moon pale in the sky,
And the stars all blink for morn;
The old year is to die.
And the new year to BIO born,
We have passed through the vale of tears.
We have trod the journey long.
We have shared our hopes and fears
We have shared grief and song;
And we've shared them all with our old friends
Our true friends our few friends,
And Wen drain anew to old friends,
The friends that always true

City Commissioners Old Brick Yard
For Dumping Ground.

The question OF dumping ground
for old rubbish, is one that has been
delaying, to some extent, the clearing
up of the debris OF the burnt district.
Such place has been secured by the
city council, the location being the
old brick ward in the west part of
town. This property belongs to MIR.
Frank Labit of Crowley, and for o
consideration, he has granted the
privilege of dumping rubbish there,
provided it be put In the cavities
where the dirt has been removed for
making brick. This proviso Is one OF
the essential elements of the contract
between Mr.. Label and 1.-THE city. In
order that the same may be fully in.
forced the council contemplates the
passage of an !ordinance .along this
line. 1t is fortunate that so conven.
lent dump ground could be found,
and one in which the unsightly mater.
isl can so readily be covered up when
the holes are filled.

offensive DEVELOPMENTS IN PROCESS
IN WELSH FIELD.
Three Companies Now DriIIing.-Oth
ers Expected to Begin Work Soon.

That the Welsh Oil Field is now en-
joVing the greatest prosperity that i'll
has ever known, with the possible eX-
ception of short period during the
boom days, is the consensus of opin-
ion Of those conversant with the con.
dtions at the field. Due to improved
methods or more careful work, a num-
Der of excellent bumpers have recently
been brought in, in the field in territory
that was tested few years ago, and
pronounced no good. And more wells
are being put down in this section of
the field, as we'll as in older proven
territory.
Three companies are now drilling
in the field. and it is rumored that
two others, including one new COM
pany, will put down wells within the
next ninety days. The companies
that. are now drilling are the Rio
Bravo, who are putting down we'll
two hundred feet south of their well
No. /; The Gulf Coast company, who
are putting down their third we'll since
entering the field last winter, and to
whom much of the credit for the re-
yival of the work in the field is due,
and C. E. Smith of Port Arthur, who
is putting down we'll No. 4, having al
ready brought in three successful
bumpers.
Aside from the we'll now being
drilled. the Gulf Coast people have
the material on the ground for the
erection of their fourth rig, and will
commence drilling we'll No. 4 as soon
as they have completed the we'll they
are now working on.
Mr.. Smith has the material on the
ground for erecting derricks and rigs
for at least four more wells besides
the one they are now working upon.
1t is stated by those in a position tc
know, that there will be some six OF
eight wells put down IN the field dur
ing the summer, besides those nov
being drilled.
| The Texas people, it is claimed, art
contemplating the establishment OF &
pumping station in connection with
their pipe line, so as to furnish reg
ular market for the entire production
| of the field.
i From the present outlook it appear:
that the Welsh field will, withou
} doubt, experience the greatest develop
. ment this summer, that it has ever
known.

This Is wise move, as it not only

time is cleaning up the unsightly re-
mains OF the recent fire. Now that
Ibis avenue for the disposal OF the
available material is at hand, and a

the remainder of the rubbish, there
should be but little delay in clearing

Big Pumping Plant Starts Pumping
First of Week.

E. NJ. Clark, one of the pioneers in
extensive rice irrigation in this part
OF the rice belt, was q business caller
at this Office Monday When asked
regarding the statement made, that
there was salt water at his plant,
he said it was an absurdity; that
there would be no salt water until the
pumps had been running long enough
to turn the current in the bayou for a
considerable time. Mr.. Clark does
not undertake to say there will be no
salt water. if the drouth of the past
several months continues, but he says
there is none at the present time, nor
does he expect it, If We have liberal
amount of rain. He started his pumps
Monday and expects to have water as
soon as it is needed for flooding pur'
poses.
