raeaafafa nersffpas. Returns must Be fled, even
If there is no tax due.

OIL COMPANY REoRGAN1zEs
To Acquire the Property of the Re.
clamation Products Association.

A meeting Of stockholders in this
and adjoining parishes, of the Recla-
nation Oil and Products Association,
was held in ST. James recently and in
short while the sum of $4,000 was
raised with which to purchase the
assets Of the concern, which consists
of a refinery in Caddo parish and
other property. After the meeting
Christophe Roussel, one of the inter
ested parties, left for Shreveport.
with a certified check for the amount.
arised to consummate the deal.
This property will be transferred to
., the ST. James Oil and Refining Com
pany, which was recently organized.
The new company owns a refinery
that will begin operation in less than
thirty days, and seventeen producing
oil wells fully equipped. Under the
new management, it is expected that
the company will soon be on a divi-
dend paying basis.
The Reclamation Oil and Products
Association was organized about a
year ago and upon the guarantee of
the payment Of b per cent dividends
a month from the very start, large
number of people in Ascension and
neighboring parishes subscribed to
stock in the concern. It is said that
the five per cent dividends promised
were paid for the first two months,
upon the strength Of which, and the
assurance of vastly increased profits,
a number of the stockholders
greatly increase their stock subscrip-
tions. 1t is said that in Ascension
and four or five neighboring parishes,
these subscriptions amounted to over
| $350,000. For some reason not made
clear is it said that the company's
affairs did not progress satisfactorily;
the promised dividends ceased alto
| gether. Some of the biggest stock
holders in this section went to Shreve-
port,the domicile=o the corporation,
and made an investigation and found
matters in bad shape, and with view
of protecting their holdings, raised
the $4,000 above referred to for
the purpose of purchasing its assets.
The selection Of Donaldsonville as
the donicile of the new corporation
, is a compliment, and will mean much
to this city. The Chief in common
with the people in general takes
pleasure in extending hearty wei
come to the new business concern te
this town and in expressing the hope
: that it will prove an unqualified sue
cess.

Good Hotel Service.

The banquet given by the Masons
on ST. Johns Day at Hotel Donald
son, was one Of the most sun1ptuous
affairs of the kind ever served in this
city. Twenty--nine local and visiting
masons enjoyed the splendid repast
prepared under the supervision of Mr..
and Mrs. John M. Maher, who have
charge of the cuisine and dining
room Of the big hostelry, and all
were loud in their praise Of its ex-
cellence and in their compliments to
the management. The exceptionally
fine service which has prevailed at
the Donaldson since it has been own
ed by Mesrs. Barman and Maher,
has elected much favorable comment
on the part Of it's patrons, and es-
pecially from commercial. travellers,
who know how to appreciate a good
hotel. There is no better advertise
ment for a city or town than a good
hotel, properly conducted and the
Hotel Donaldson, under its present
management is doing much in the way
of advertising Donaldsonville.
