CONTRACT AWARDED
FOR ROAD WORK
NUMBER OF BIDDERS FOR NEW
HIGHWAY LEADING OUT OF
PORT BARRE ALONG BAYOU

There was a lively bidding for the
construction of the earthwork on one
of the new highways leading out OF
Port Bare along the Bayou Courta-
bIeau when the board of commission
ers received and opened bids last Mon
day at noon, according to previous
advertisement.
Bids ranged from 9S 1-S cents per
cubic yard down to 10 cents, there be.
ing two bids at the low figure, those
of N. A. Dawson and Henry Stagg,
respectively. Two bidders at 25 cents
per yard and one for q cents. It
is generally supposed that Henry
Stagg will receive the awarding of the
contract on his bid of 19 cents.
The work is said to be ideal from
a contractors standpoint as the dirt
to be moved is splendid material and
easy to handle. This road is part OF
the modern system which will center
at Port Barre and will connect the
thriving village with the road built
from the railroad crossing at Courtf.-
bIeau station and from that point east
to Krotz Springs and will make this
latter place easily accessible to ope-
lousas.

Freddie Taylor. young Opelousas
negro, went over the road last week
in record time for stealing a turksy At

St. Landry parish.
Taylor broke into a building at the
Dubuisson residence Just before day
on Sunday morning a week ago and
stole therefrom turkey Monday
morning he was arrested on the
charge of burglary. arraigned on a

crime, pleaded guilty and was imme-
diately sentenced to serve from five
to ten years at hard labor At G
o'clock tina tafternoon Sheriff Thibo-
deaux had delivered the convict to
the penitentiary authorities at Baton
Rouge.
The young negro, according to many
people, had been mixed up in many
petty thefts, having a strong inclina-
ton to lift chickens and other domes-
tic fowls from their roosts. This last
case proved his undoing and he will
have a long, long time to think over

mental. This find would take the well
cut Of the wildcat class and put it IN
the class Of actual producers.
After drilling was continued the
drill was still in the gumbo for about
a hundred feet, after which a strata
Of soft, chalk rock was hit. Stracas OF
this rock and gumbo alternated and it
is hoped when the bit is through
this formation an oil sand will be en-
countered.
It viii be remembered that before
the well was started people who are
familiar with this territory predicted
oil strata at 700, 1.4O0 and 1000 feet
Their first two predictions have been
realized as a small showing, of no real
value was found at 700 feet and bet
ter showing at 1900 feet
Saturday drilling was temporarily sus-
pended, owing to the breakage of the
swivel and new part was ordered by
telephone. The part reached here
Monday noon and work was :mmeoi-
ately recommended.

opened in the Landau building with

has completed a map showing the
drilling plot, the offsets and a plat Of
the J. Arthur Roy tract and this has
been sent to New Orleans for prints.
Work OF erecting the machinery on
the -Mallet location has
been completed and they expect TO
"spud in" this week, after which Mr..
Morgan hopes to bring IN a well in
less than two weeks, as he hopes .
find paying sand at depth of about
500 feet. If the expections Of both
companies are realized then it is en-
tfreIy possible that both wells will be
brought in at about the same time. In
other words lit is now a race between
the two as to which will make show
ing first.
Negotiations are now under way Tor
drilling near Port Barre and it Is un
derstood that the acreage has been
blocked and proposition submitted
by drilling company or syndicate.
II is not known whether or not tns
