IA NEW IDEA.

Once in great while we get a brand of being worth while. Every year Ashdown supports more or less ly- ceum course. It is not our object to knock on the lyceum, for they are too worth while. What has been suggest ed to us seems to be more worth while. We'll, here goes: Why not establish for next year home-talent lyceum course? Get the idea? If not we will elucidate. The concert by home tal- ent this week at the auditorium was better than any imported 1yceum num- Der that we have had in Ashdown for long time. It was oniy one of few entertainments of various kinds had during the year. It reveals the fact that in this town there is talent of suf- ficiently high order, both musical and in other lines to develope a series of entertainments along plans to be worked out by competent persons. As a drawing card these have superior pulling power over the other kind. The educational features to the patrons are just as good with the additional bene- fits from developing the home talent. We would be building up something here in Ashdown that would give it a distinction not ordinary found in Cities of this size and even larger. If this is not new idea it would be good one, and worthy of your consideration.

PRODUCER NEAR STATE LINE
Just Over the Columbia County Line
 in Louisiana; Down 2,S06-Feet.

Magnolia, March 30.-The old ROx- ana well, abandoned year ago, but taken over and drilled deeper by local interests, came in big gusher about 6:3O o'clock Tuesday evening. Esti- mates on the we'll range as high as 2O,O00 barrels, but it is generally be- lieved that this estimate is too high. The oil, supported by just sufficient gas pressure to make the we'll big producer, shot about 40 feet in the air when the we'll came in.
 The we'll is just over the Arkansas line in Louisiana, at point about 5 miles west of the line between Union and Columbia counties. This puts the we'll almost directly south of the s. s. Hunter we'll in Ouachita county.
 The we'll is now known as the Fay Tor No. 2. It was drilled by the Rox- ana people to a depth of about 2,2O0 feet. A good showing of oil was found in the sand at that depth, but the hole was later abandoned. Local people who had faith in the location took over the project and drilled deep CT, and the rich pay sand was struck at 2,OS6 feet.
 The bit was taken from the we'll late yesterday, after it had penetrated the sand, but the drillers were arranging to resume drilling when the we'll came in. Big delegations of Magnolia peo- pie went to the well this morning. It has been mudded down and put under control.
 The Standard Oil Company's well at Omegaw, Ouachita county, north of here, in which good showing of oil was found about two weeks ago, has turned to salt water, it IS said. An other well will be drilled nearby.

COST OF ROADS MUST BE LESS
Texas are Planning to Built Roads al
 Less Expense.

Texarkana, Tex, March 2S.-Much interest is being manifested in the pro- posed issue of good roads bonds amounting to $5OO,0OO, which will be voted on by the property owners in Precinct No. of Bowie county, which includes the city of Texarkana, Tex, April 23. There are approximately S5 miles of roadway in the precinct that are greatly in need of repair, and it is proposed to utilize the proceeds from the sale of these bonds, to regravel and regrade this mileage wherever needed, as we'll as to replace all woden brid- ges in the district with permanent con- crete structures. The estimated cost of repair per mile is $1,200 and the estimated cost per structure for new bridges is said to be about $2,20O.
 The board of directors of the Cham Der of Commerce is taking an active interest in the road problem for the precinct, and Chairman w. A. Nc Cartney is taking quite little stock in the prospect of being able to put over on the program of work number of concrete roads if possible, which would cost in the neighborhood of | $20, ,OOO per mile to construct, it is said. The desire is if possible to take ap- proximately 40 miles of the roads within the pricinct and make concrete roads, then put over the remainder of the district under similar project.
 It is confidently believed that both federal and state aid can be procured on the contemplated work. Chairman Hubbard of the state highway com mission has already promised state aid on the bridge work.

GOOD SHOWING AT HOPE
Is Opinion of Oil Men in Regard to
 Hope Water Well.

Hope, March 30.--In the opinion of some of the best informed oil men now operating in this territory, Hope has every indication of bringing in a real producing oil we'll on the property of the city, near the Hope Water & Light Plant, where the drill is now down some 400 feet.
 When it was decided some two months ago to make a test for oil and gas at this well, which was begun as deep water we'll, tlfe City Council gave to the Water and Light Commit tee the power to act. Since that time H. c. Stuart, chairman of the com- mittee, has been working fin conjunc- tion with several oil men to deter mine what the we'll would really pro duce.
 Last night at 7:3O the day crew of the Shaw and Shaw we'll took charge of the machinery at the city well, and worked until after midnight, pumping the we'll It was then turned back to the regular crew, and this morning Messrs. Jas. Sturgis and Bud Harrell, both experienced oil operators, ex- pressed the opinion that every indi- cation showed that a real producing oil we'll should be brought Tn when the test is made.
 It is very probable that bailing will begin tomorrow full crew now be- ing at work at the we'll.

Federal officials don't like our road situation and will withhold federal aid pending investigation. Seems like they have been pretty we'll withhold ing it all along. Perhaps our plans have been too ambitious and that there have been many mistakes made, and in many instances gross mismanagement, but the era of road building has come to stay. We will in the future settle down to conservative basis and pro- fit by the errors of the past.
