ADAM DOUCET IS NAMED
Former DriIIer At Laine Engaged
As Formation Man On The
Present Well.

A special meeting OF the directors
of the Pascagoula Development Com
pany was held on Friday afternoon of
last week. Adam Doucet, chief
driller on de Lamorton well No. l
during the period that the contract
was held by e, Daboval, Jr., was
named as formation man in charge Of

ing Professor de Lamorton, who is
engaged in handling the unsold treas
ury stock. George r. Thompson con-
tinues in charge OF the active work
on the derrick, as heretofore.
1t was stated that Professor de La
morton is expected to be absent from
the city frequently in handling the un-
sold stock, amounting to about 1000,
and the presence OF formation man
at this particular period is believed to
be imperative. Telephone commu
nication was established with Mr.
Doucet on Saturday morning and he
accepted the position, agreeing to re.
port for duty on Monday morning.
On Friday evening, it was stated,
the drillers at the we'll had reached

STANDARD OIL MAN SAYS FIELD IS A GOOD ONE
WITH NO QUESTION AS TO PRESENCE OF OIL
Visitor Makes Second Trip To LaIne To Study Conditions As
They Really Exist Before venturng Opinion Present Gas
Well And Hot Salt Water Alone He Estimates Being
Worth Fortune-Standard Company Does Not
Develop Fields But HurledIy Buys Every
New Proven Field When Possible.

field and then steps In and pays the
price, large though 1t Is at times, tC
control that field. The latest illus.
tration Of this fact Is the control Of
the Oaddo oil field, the greatest oil
and gas field In the country today,
eighteen miles from Shreveport, La.
The Standard OIL Company, some
months ago, paid $9,000,00O for con-
troll of that field. 1t was then a
proven field, however, and had been
independently developed and exploited
since the winter Of 1904, when drill
ing on the first we'll was commenced.
The Standard bought control In the
winter OF 1911. The writer knows of
one instance in that particular field
where one company expended $500, 900
prospecting before its first producing
well was brought in.
Mr. Devoe did not pretend to expect
his company to invest In the port oil
field. He held out no such suggested
inducement, That his company has
received his report as to conditions Is
foregone conclusion. That great
company, presumably or actually
broken up by the federal courts, will
watch local development closely.
When the field is thoroughly proven
this company will come In with a
world of capital. When the field Is
proven, and 1t is up to local people or
companies to prove it, outside capital
will race for available openings. Mig
gardliness In capitalization and sci.
6shness in endeavoring to grab it all
will tend only to retard development,
and, God knows, Pascagoula has pa
tiently suffered from such conditions
long enough.
The Bellevue on Company is just
now beginning operations on it's first
we'll. May it strike the oil The Pas
cagoula Development Company has
already drilled one well and Is over
900 feet on another one. The 1rst
we'll has developed into gasser Of
25O,0OO cubic feet daily, the gas being
accompanied by a copious flow Of hot
salt water. This combination makes
the first well very desirable as sani.
tarium proposition, according to the
opinion of men worth while, and the
existence 10 close proximity OF the
crude oil. The first named company
is amply capitalized at half million
OF dollars. The local company Is not
adequately capitalized to permit OF
full development, and time alone can
tell whether the restriction ls or is
not a wise one.

One of the most interesting devel.
opments In connection with tine oil
field In the territory Of the Port Of
Pascagoula has just come to light. A
representative OF the Standard on
Company, Mr.. Devoe, who has fam
lily connections along the coast and
whose interest In development on the
coast is not confined to purely profes.
sional lines, visited this city and Laine
during the past ten days. 1t has de-
veloped that this is his second trip to
the oil fields, but he refrained from
expressing an opinion until he had
made a careful investigation and
study of the conditions as they actually
exist. He was entertained ;by Capt
S. Fl. Bugge while in the port, and
talked interestingly with him.
When Mr.. Devoe came to Pasca-
goula, each time he came without the
shadow OF sentiment. He came with
the cold.blooded disbelief Of the great
combination he represents. Real
estate dealers and land sharks all over
the country have flashed In the pan
with an oil boom In order to dispose
OF their holdings or prospective hold
ings. These facts are known to the
veriest tyro in the oil business, and no
one would accuse the Standard Of
being amateurs In the oil business.
Hence Mr.. Devoe was ultra.careful 10
any comments he might have felt dis.
posed to make.
During the past ten days he was 10
the territory again. This was his
second trip. He visited Laine, saw
the gas we'll and tasted the hot salt
water (which he pronounced all salt,
all rlght) and then could not restrain
himself from comment. That the
surface indications pointed to oil,
which be agreed, Is known to all
men who know the least Of oil de-
velopment. He went further and
expressed the opinion, as Standard
expert, that oil exists In the port
territory, although the first we'll may
be 100 feet or 1000 feet removed
from the pool. The gas, accompanied
by hot salt water, and the aroma
from the burning gas are indications
such that experts cannot get away
from, although they, nor any other
man, can explain 10 detail as to the
why's and wherefores thereof.
STANDARDS POLICY.
1t Is not the practice nor the policy
of the Standard Oil Company to in
terest itself In an undeveloped field.
This great combination of capital Is
content to let others develop an oil

made an average of about flfty BUSH

agriculture in this county, that they
should not overlook the agency OF the

it would lie we'll to supplement- the
fifty dollars appropriated by the coun.

CAL0MEL GIVES ONLY
TEMPORARY RELIEF
So Powerful II Shocks Liver And
Leaves It Weaker Than Before.
Dodson's Liver-Tone A Per-
feet Substitute.

Nearly everybody who has ever
tried calomel for constipation or a
sluggish liver has found that 1t gives
only temporary relief. For calomel
is such powerful drug that 1T
shocks and weakens the liver and
makes it less able afterward to do Its
duty than 10 the first place.
This is one OF the reasons why
McVea Young's drug store would
rather sell Dodson's Liver.tone to you
than calomel. We know that Dod-
sons Liver-Tone Is a pure vegetable
liver tonic that will cure constipation
quickly and gently without any dan
ger of bad after effects. We guaran'
teeit to do this with aguarantee that
is simple and fair. II you buy bot
tie OF Dodson's Liver.Tone for your
self or your children, and do not find
that it Is a perfect substitute for
calomel, then come back to the store
and get your money. Ii you don't
get value for your money out OF this
tonic, it's your right to expect your
money back, and we will gladly give
IL to you.

Aviator Robert e. Fowler arrived
from Biloxi on Wednesday morninI
shortly after II o'clock. His approach
to Gautier was telephoned to this cit,
and the warning notes of the fri
whistle sounded the signal for Pasca

vantage. Practically the entire pop

depot and on the two principal streets
Far in the west the aviator and his
machine appeared faint blot, W. NJ.
Canty being the first to discover the
exact location OF the family visible
air visitor. The machine gradually
grew larger, at height OF some five
hundred feet. AS the river was
crossed, the aviator dropped to a
height estimated at about three hun
dred feet, and at this elevation he
made two circles over the business
section, one toward the left and other
just the reverse.
While circing over the city, the
throbbIng Of the engine could easily
be heard, and the large letters be-
meath the machine were distinctly
seen and read. After making the Sec
ond complete circle, the aviator grad
ually went higher, and set his course
northeast toward Mobile, leaving Pas
cagoula at 1855 o'clock. Contrary to
hopes, locally, Fowler did not make
nor attempt landing.
The weather conditions on the
ground were local for the exhibition
and flight, but strong head winds 10

the rapid forward progress Of the ma
chine. The effect OF the winds was
particularly apparent when the ava-
tor made his circles and ran toward
the west instead of toward the east.
1t was estimated that he would reach
Mobile about o'clock 10 the after
noon. AS ne approached the city
from Gautier the fire whistle gave
him screaming welcome. As he
crossed the river, reaching the city
proper, the fire whistle again
screeched welcome, and as the echo
died away the throbbing of the motor
