the Advance-Rumley Tresher Co

The Acadian Sugar Refinery
at Delcambre, owned by the
Pharr estate was transferred last
week to Messrs. L. Cyrus De
Blame and G. n. Belanger. Mr..
DeBlanc will have charge of the
business management while his
partner Mr.. Belanger will take
charge Of the mechanical depart
ment. We understand they have
arranged to put in an additional
pan as well as triple effects and
when through remodeling the mill
it will be one of the best in that
section. They expect to grind
this season some twenty-five thou
sand tons for the small farmers
of that vicinity. Mr.. DeBlanc
himself has some five thousand
tons on his own place. With the
experience these two gentlemen
have in the sugar business there
is no reason why they should
not make a big success of their
undertaking.

On Wednesday Mr.. Frank E
Wood, the Commissioner Of Labor
and Industrial Statistics of Lou
isiana whose office is in the city
of New Orleans paid New Iberia
d visit. Mr.. Wood is doing a
great deal towards building up
this important branch of the
States service. From what he
informed us his purpose in tour.
ing this section of Louisiana is to
investigate the condition Of labor
in general especially now since
there is complaint that the large
plantations are short Of en-
ployees.
Work was started again on
the Enterprise well yesterday by
Driller Boutte. 1t will be re.
membered some time ago work On
the well ceased for several days
in order to make some needed re-
pairs. This unfortunately caused
a cave in-of several hundred feet
and in trying to reach the same
strata with the drill several spans
of pipe was wrenched off. As a
consequence there has been de-
lay in getting the trouble adj
justed and it is more than prob
able the driller will have to dew
late few inches and do much of
the work over again. Ut is hoped,
however, that progress will soon
be made to a depth showing indi
cations justifying the Company
penetrating to further depths in
accordance with the contract with
the land holders.
There was great anxiety this

from August 18th and Iberia did
