A piece OF case hardened steel that

week. This steel, about seven lncnes
long, is wedged in the rocky lorna

FOR NEXT FIVE YEARS
MADAME REA.NYE GAVE FORE
CAST AT WAKEFIELD THEATRE
Few Changes, She Said, Are
Forthcoming, But These
Will Be For The Bet

A large crowd attended the Warfeld
theatre last Friday night for the pur-
pose OF hearing what Madame Rea-
Nye, the Gypsy fortune teller, would
forecast for Pascagoula for the next
five years. The forecast did not prove
to be startling revelation.
According to the little woman, the
next five years will see many deaths
Ia Pascagoula, all from natural causes
and not through any epidemic or con-
tagious diseases, and there will be a
greater number Of births, thereby
showing natural increase 10 the pop

community. The electric street rail.

will be In operation. and this will
bring large numbers OF wealthy peo-
pie to the city, people who, otherwise,
would have never heard OF the port,
she said.
NEW IMPROVEMENTS.
Pascagoula will experience some.
fires. Some OF the present landmarks
will be wiped out by flames. but no

new building to he the home Of fra

which would tend to add to the gen.
eral metropolitan appearance OF the
city.
She said she saw new docks con-
structed below the bridge, and new,
large paper mill 10 operation above
Moss Point. All together, she said,
the changes that are to take place
will be for the better Of the port, and
she said she saw no material change
10 the political situation. She said
that three years hence the people
would have an opportunity to vote on /

such solution OF the liquor question
would bring return of the wanted

CRUDE FOUND At BEACH
Last Sunday Marked By Tapping
Small Pocket of Gas, Fol-
lowed By Oil Flow.

Last Sunday about noon the drillers
at Bellevue well No. on the beach,
being drilled by the Bellevue Oil Com.
pany, Ltd, of New Orleans, brought
10 small flow OF crude oil at a depth
OF thirty-four feet. The drills were
set 10 motion at o'clock on Saturday
morning, the drst fifteen feet being
through white sand. The second
similar distance was through blue
clay. At thirty feet small pocket OF
gas was encountered, and at thirty
four feet pocket OF oil was opened
up. This oil flowed freely, the ca
pacity being estimated at about one
gallon per day. A stoppage was made
long enough to test the oil and prove
its character, after which the drills
were again started. Wednesday eve
ming depth Of something over 100
feet had been reached, the bits then
working in a quick sand.

In giving the banquet, Mr.. Parker
complimented the Elks, to which or.
ganization he was recently admitted,
and, incidentally, celebrated another
anniversary of his birthday. Because
OF the dual occasion he outdid himself
and previous caterers of banquets,
and, now that the banquet has passed
into history, the function takes rank
as the premier Of similar affairs,
NUMEROUS TOASTS.
No attempt had been made to pre-
pare for set speeches. Toastmaster
Young exercised the privilege Of his
position in calling for impromptu re.
sponses, with the SLY Injunction that
brevity Is the soul OF wit, and this
suggestion on his part was complied
with in every particular. Among the
toasts responded to were "Our Host"
"The Elks," "The Elks as Boosters"
"Pascagoula," coil" "The Future of
the PORT" 1.-THE Ladies, 1.-THE Min
strels," etc, etc, the speakers being
J. viii Donovan, w. A. Farmer, B. J
Blethen, e. B. Dunten, John r. Watts,
George r. Thompson, Prof. o. H. de
Lamorton, DR.. ]. A. Tabor, G. NJ
Parker, and others.
As the clock tolled the hour Of
eleven, the mystic hour of Elkdom,
the brilliantly lighted dining hall be
came cavern OF darkness, the illumi
mated face of the tollng time piece
looming bright as the beacon Of faith
full memory. and Secretary W. J. Mat
THE, by request, gave the "Eleven
O'Clock Toast" impressively and elo-
quently. AS the lights again blazon-
ed forth, the standing Elks silently
drank to "Our A bsent Brothers." and
imagination saw those who have gone
to the Grand Lodge Above tenderly
and lovingly gazing from their homes
On High with approving acclaim upon
those who are striving to so live that
when the time comes for them to join
that innumerable caravan that they
may wrap their shrouds around them
aud lie down to pleasant dreams.
THE PORT TO BE.
Among the toasts responded to was
that OF 1.-THE Future OF the Port" by
e. B. Dunten. Eloquently, fervently
and sincerely, Mr.. Dunten painted
the picture of the future OF pasca-
goula, 10 which he saw more, greater
and better railroad facilities, splendid
docks, with the national naval station
10 its sole and legitimate location,
Mississippi Sound, with forts, impreg-
usble, on Petit Bots island, Horn is
land, Round island, Point Cheynne
point, and on either side OF the mouth
Of the Pascagoula river. He saw nu-
merous diversified industries through
out the port territory, and In the in
terror of the county be saw the broad
green fields OF thriving agriculture.
Growing inteptly serious, Mr..
Dunten painted the picture OF Pasca-
goula as she is today, and Indicated
the physical detriments as presented
to the passing tourists or the stranger
debarking from an incoming train.
He urged corporation, sincerity and
harmonious action, and told OF the
unlimited faith he retains In the ulti-
mate greatness OF the entire port
territory. His theme was followed
by others OF the speakers, clearly
showing that the Elks are the real
boosters.
1t was 10 the wee sma' hours OF
Sunday morning that the happy and
enthusiastic banquetters gave three
cheers and a tiger for mine host"
