OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS
OF the Caddo Levee Board Meeting
Held July %, 1913.

At a special meeting of the Caddo
Levee Board held On the 23rd of
July 1913, there were present: J. NJ.
Sentell, president, J. ]. Lay, J. M.
Robinson, w. V. Robson, John Glas-
sell, J. H. Jordan and w. B. Means.
Senator L. R. Smith, w. B. Pyron
and S. L. Herold appeared before
the board in the interest of the
Louisiana State Conservation Com
mission and addressed the meeting
in reference to securing financial as
sistance from the board to be used
in closing the, wild gas wells in thu
Caddo field.
The following resolution was Of
fered by J. M. Robinson seconded by
J. J. Lay:
Whereas, a large. proportion OF
the revenue of the said board is de-
rived from the production Of oil
upon the leases of the boards lands
in what is known as the Caddo oil
field, and
Whereas, in the mining and drill
ing for oil, natural gas is used for
producing the same, and without
the use Of natural gas oil would
have to be used, at a present cost
Of one dollar (Sl.00) per barrel, each
we'll that is operated would use
from fifteen to twenty barrels Of
Gil day for fuel, and
Whereas, if Oil should be substi-
,,uted for natural gas, the board
would lose the revenue from num-
ber of wells that are now producing
from fifteen (i5) to twenty (2O) bar
rels of oil per day; therefore this
board takes cognizance of the efforts
of the State Conservation Commits
: sion of Louisiana in seeking to close
the wild gas wells in the Caddo field
which threaten to deplete the field
in a short time, and
II Whereas, the State Conservation
Commission is without sufficient
funds to undertake the said work of
closing said wild;3wells and is call
ing upon those s3hterested in the
production Of oil to aid the com
mission by contributing to the ex-
pense of such work; therefore,
Be it resolved, by the Board Of
Commissioners Of the Caddo Leyee
District in special session convened
That the sum Of one thousand dol
lars ($f, 100000 is hereby appropriat-
Cd and ordered paid over to the
! Hon. NJ. L. Alexander, president of
| the Conservation Commission of
/! Louisiana, for the purpose of aiding
in the work Of closing the wild gas
wells, this appropriation being made
with the sole view of protecting and
conserving one of the main sources
| of revenue of this board, and upon
| the condition if all of the said
amount is not needed for said pur-
pose, then and in that event the bal
ance unused shall be returned to the
! board. Carried.
The following bills were read, al
lowed and ordered paid: Castle

Appeal Granted.

John J. Johnson, the celebrated

MINNESOTA WINS
estate Rate" Case Is Lost by
the Railroads.
A POINT WON BY ONE LINE

Minnesota Wins in United States SUI
preme Court in One of the Great
est of Modern Legal Struggles
Federal Power Comes First, but
State Can Also Regulate.
Minnesota won a substantial victory
in the supreme court when in the
Minnesota state rate case Justice
Hughes for the court held that the
rates of the Minneapolis and st.
Louis railroad were confiscatory and
unconstitutional, but that the rates of
the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern were valid.
The decision was a victory for the
state on the interstate commerce
phases of the controversy and upon
the confscatory features, with the
exception of the portion affecting the
Minneapolis and st. Louis.
What the Cases Are.
The so-called state rate" cases
have presented to the supreme court
one of the momentous problems of
the decade.
In general terms, this group Of
cases called upon the court to decide
two questions One was wheIner the
states in passing maximum freight
and 2-cent passenger laws had unduly
interfered with interstate commerce.
The other was whether those laws
confscated the property OF the rail-
roads by requiring them to transact
business at a loss.
The group consisted of forty-five
cases. All arose out of legislation
enacted by state legislatures about
1907, or just after the federal govern
ment had passed the Hepburn rate
law. The forty-five cases concerned
directly the laws in six states-Mis-
souri,, Minnesota, Kentucky, Oregon,
Arkansas and West Virginia. SINH
lar litigation arose in Alabama, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and
South Dakota. In all, it was said
that seventy-six suits in federal
courts depended upon the decision in
the forty-five cases before the SUI
preme court
How the Suits Started.
The Minnesota cases arose out OF
suits by stockholders of the Northern
Pacific. the Great Northern and the
Minneapolis and st. Louis railroads
against the companies to enjoin them
1xys1 PIVOT oh
and 2-cent passenger laws as uncon
stitutiona1, and against the state Of
ficials to enjoin them from enforcing
the laws. Judge SanbOrn of the Unit
ed States circuit court for Minnesota
held the laws unconstitutional, of 6
confscatory nature, and that they
burdened interstate commerce. The
three suits were appealed to the su
preme court.

Tea Known In England Since 1915.

Tea Known In England Since 1915.
The earliest mention of tea drink
ing in England occurs in letter from
Mr. Wickham from japan, dated June
q. 1915. In 1856 the English began
to drink tea in society circles, the sup
ply being imported from Java at the
cost of $50 to $50 pound. 1t Is
quite needless to say that the common
people did not drink much tea during
those days.

Medical Journal Writer Stirs Up

New York. March 1.-THE author of

charges that American college athletes
die Young because of the training syS-
ten followed, has started lively de-
bate on the merits of the training
methods employed in the prominent
colleges in this country. The coaches
and trainers who have been priding
themselves on the development of a
system that enabled them to turn out
the best athletes i'm the world, have
come right back in defense of their
methods in an effort To ward off the
of the system that has made America
great in athletic competitions.
The article states that men wh1
