In conclusion, | wish to emphasize
the fact, that marine insurance has
been factor OF highest importance
in conserving life and property.
Marine underwriters have always
been to the forefront as originators
and active supporters of classifying
registers which provide rules and
regulations FOR the construction of
vessels and subsequent regular
supervision. thereby insuring
structural strength and a maximum
of safety. Futher, marine under
writing organizations have their
own surveyors at almost every port
of importance on the globe, to
inspect vessels before loading and
supervise the loading itself which
it Is needless to say, is almost of
paramount Importance.

been given careful consideration by the
State authorities of Louisiana and myself
and 1t is deemed inadvisable to permit

cause serious trouble.
In case any stock men of Tensas parish
wish to bring cattle into that parish from
the infested portion Of Louisiana, the
cattle can be dipped before leaving under
supervision and allowed to enter. II such
cattle originate in the infested portion Of
another State, the matter can be taken
up with the Federal Inspector in Charge
oil that State who will arrange to permit
the cattle 10 move.
We will be very glad cooperate with
the stock men Of your parish and assist
them in every way possible in case they
wish to move cattle from an infested &C.,
ton.
Very respectfully,

Rev. Geo. Fox and Mrs. Fox wers
guests last Sunday of Mr.. and Mrs

vices both morning and evening. Al
the evening service Mr.. Fox an.
nounced that subscription would
be taken up for the purpose of re.
firing the mortgage resting on the
parsonage OF the Presiding Elder Of
the District at Monroe. This prop.
erty, consisting Of handsome and
comfortable dwelling with large
grounds. we'll located, was purchased
by the M. E. Church some years ago
as a home for the Presiding Elder Of
the District, the purchase price be-
ing IS, 800, and of which amount
the sum Of So, 400 has been paid to
date. leaving a balance still due and
unpaid of 81, 100. The holder of the
mortgage notified Conference during
its last session that unless the re-
naming notes, already due, are not
paid by September, 1915, he will
foreclose, and which might endanger
the property and cause its loss to the
church. The result of this message
was that Conference Immediately
got busy and laid an assessment on
every pasturate in the district to be
used in liquidating this debt. The
amount apportioned to this circuit
ls $500 and already good part of
that sum has been raised but full
amount is still lacking few dollars.
Any friends who have not yet had
opportunity to contribute toward
this worthy cause can send same to

We called attention the other day t.
the fact that the assessment Of Louisians
for 1912 would have shown a decided de-
crease but for the advance in certain Rec
River parishes, due to the discovery and
development Of new oil fields especially
in Caddo, De Soto and Red River. What
is largely sending Louisiana ahead are its
mineral resources; which lew years age
We would have dismissed as negligible.
The development of its mineral resources
has forced Louisiana to the front and
from facts before US we are certain that
it will keep ahead. 1t has stood since the
exploitation of sulphur mines in Calcasieu
not only the first sulphur producing state
in the Union but the first in the world.
1t is, however, in production OF oil that
is likely to make the greatest advance, for
new fields are constantly being brought
to light; with the consequence that in the
matter of the production OF oil it now &C.
cupies the fifth place, having passed West
Virginia during the year, formerly one of
the great oil producers of the country. 1t
IL likely to rise to fourth place next year,
passing Illinois; and it will not be long
it is hoped before it passes Texas and
wins third place, exceeded by only Cali.
fornis and Oklahoma.
Mr.. Arthur of the Conservation Com
mission has prepared for that body from
the report Of the United States Geological
Survey the status of the oil industry Of
Louisiana. It's output is now IA, 800, 4S5
barrels of oil worth $l2, $3.50, 1897. 1t pos
sesses eight well established oil fields,
three along Red River and five on or near
the coast. In Caddo, which still turns
out one half of all the oil in Louisiana,
there was q decrease last year; but De
Soto and Red River, which have previous
~ yielded no oil, are now producing
4,2S5, 4l5 barrels and make good the loss
in Caddo. On the coast the Edgerly field
10 new one; while Jennings, Welsh
and Vinton show q loes in output; but
the total production for the district lie
nonetheless greater than last year.
There need be no fear that Louisiana
wall not maintain its high position O. an
