OIL, ACTIVITY RENEW
ED IN THIS LOCALITY

J. D. Pace, president of the Acme
Oil Drill Co., of Shreveport, has made
a contract or agreement with }. h.
and J. n. Lummis, in which he agrees
to clean out the we'll known as Nc
CURE No. 3, which is now in a junk
ed condition. This well Is located in
the edge of town and is near the other
two wells drilled on the Mcclure
lease by the Lummis Oil Co. After
the we'll is cleaned out, Mr., Pace agrees
to drill same to a depth of 1900 feet.
In case it is impossible to clean out
this hole he further agrees to offset
same and drill another well to depth
of 1900 feet.
The progress of these operations will
be watched with unusual interest for
two reasons. The first being that such
good indications have been found in
the previous tests at this location, ac-
cording to the reports Of well known
biologists, that there is every reason
to believe that sooner or later oil will
| be discovered. The second reason is
that a special drill bit, the invention of
J. D. Pace, will be used in making
these further tests, and he expects to
prove certain features of superiority of
his invention over other types of drill
bits. E.

ARCADIA SOON TO
HAVE ICE PLANT

At a meeting held last Wednesday
morning for the purpose of perfecting
an organization, and to elect o1llcers
and directors for the new ice company,
resulted in the following business men
being elected to serve for period OF
one year:
Y. NJ. Lyons, president; P. A. Nc
CURE, list vice-president; B. +. Bar
nette, End vice-president; ]. B. Herring,
3rd vice-president; W. M. Deas, sec
etary-treasurer; Leo Daniel and Bert
Davis, directors.
All legal steps necessary to incor-
porate will be Immediately taken, and
there is absolutely no doubt as to the
outcome of the efforts of these leading
business men. The stock necessary to
build the ice plant has already been
subscribed for, and outside of a few
DELAYS in organization there will not
be any stops or hold-ups until the plant
lis completed and in operation.
Leo Daniel and Bert Davis were
appointed as a committee to select a
location. but have not up to date made
selection, although they have sew
eral lots in view
p. A. Mcclure and Lamar Taylor
will visit some of the nearby towns to
secure data as to which kind of plant
is most advisable to install and other
information that will acquaint them
with the ice business in detail.
There are many people, not only in Ar
cadia, but all over the parish who will
rejoice to hear that we are going to
have an ice factory right in our own
community. There have been many
times when we were threatened with
an ice famine during the hottest months
of the year, and we trust that factory
even sick, and trust that factory in
in our midst will relieve this cOndi
! ton.
The organization of this company Is
merely another manifestation OF tht
activity of our business men. Arcadia
has always been awake to these needs
but she has lacked the proper organlza
ton. The Chamber of Commerce wa
recently reorganized, and the spiri
at that meeting was that of cooperation
and organization. That spirit did no
stop with the Chamber Of Commerce
but has spread into every business Il
the town, and although this body
not responsible for the ice plant be
= coming fact, it is responsible 10
the activity, and we want to keep
up.
