CADDO OIL FIELD
Is the Greatest in the Country and Is
Being Steadily Developed.

New Orleans States Feb. 26 Flatter-
ing reports of conditions in the Caddo
gas and oil fields were given Saturday
by Mr.. Z. S. Cayee of Shreveport. who
is visiting New Orleans OH business.
Mr.. Cayee Is a Mississippian with ex
perienee in most of the prominent oil
fields of America. He has been actively
identified with the Caddo fields since
last August and has been exceptionally
successful
Il have now well that is producing
1000 barrels a day" said Mr.. Cayee,
and four or five others that are produe-
ing from 2so TO 500 barrels. | have also
four OF FIVE wells yielding from z5o to
500 barrels Between now and the first
of June | expect to drive twenty five
more. These wells cost for drilling about
$4,000 apiece. The cost for tankage,
etc, is about $1,000 well, We are get
ting rid Of our oil as rapidly as it comes
out Of the earth.
"The Caddo oil field Is no longer an
uncertainty. It is the greatest oil field
in the country and there is practically
little of the proven territory that is not
in the hands of experienced oil men.
The development Is going on steadily
and its production means increasing
wealth and prosperity for the people OF
Louisiana. /"

TRUST REGULATION
A Suggestion Which if Carried into IF

The True Democrat Thomas w

something about tinanceS and he ASSERT

ANY member who directly or indi-
reetly executes the buying or selling end
of trade. which he knows or has good
reason to know, is matched trade, will
he expelled from the exchange"
"A matched trade is one where the
stocks. bonds or securities involved do
not in fact change ownership by or be
cause of the transaction
He further asserts that If this rule
were made part of the exchange laws
today. by tomorrow it will have pufgcd

Mr.. lawson writing to President Taft
says that "the principal controlling in

money at the fraud manipulated high
prices. Take away the possibility of the
trust creators realizing upon their fraud

that there are but two simple and quick

secretary, what was DR.. Cooks mental
condition when he left him in New York
to take the records of the polar trip to
Copenhagen.
Hes half mad,' Lonsdale said, ac-
