HOPES STILL BRIGHT
FOR OIL WELL.
Salt Water Dampens Little
Bayou Enthusiasm.

Hope springs eternal in the human
breast" the poet said, and no more
solid proof of this could be found
than in the manner in which the "oll
hounds are keeping after the elu-
sive fluid in Iberia Parish.
The Humble well, being sunk at
Little Bayou, met with another set
back last week when a strong flow
of salt water broke into the line.
They were at that time preparing
to bring in their we'll, being in a
ten foot strata of rich oil sand. Ev-
eryone concerned was in pitch of
enthusiasm bordering on wild excite
ment. Then the salt water came and
put out their fire of hope.
But only for time.
It is learned now that the hole
will be sidetracked just above the
oil sand and another penetration
made into that formation.
With the experience of the pre-
vious attempt in mind it is hoped,
and fully expected, that the salt
water will be provided against sue
cessfully, and if SO well will al
most certainly be the result.
The men most intimately connect
ed with the proposition state that
judging from appearances just be-
fore the previous attempt was block
ed by the salt water, at least five
hundred barrel well should be
brought in. This figure is given as
a conservative estimate.
And so, with the side-tracking op-
Grafton underway, and the drilling
management highly optimistic, as
we started out by saying: Hope
s,rings eternal in the human breast"

ELKS' MEMORIAL DAY.

Last Sunday the Elks observed
their Annual Memorial Day, at four
o'clock, in their Lodge Room.
Quite a number of Elks, their
friends and families, gathered to
take part in the ceremony with
which each year the Elks all over
America remember their deceased
brothers.
Besides the regular ritual service
by the lodge officers, there were a
beautiful solo by Miss Cecile Brig
anti, violin solo by Louis Broussard,
and the entrance march played by
Miss Mary Briganti.
The Memorial address was deliv-
cred by Hon. Walter ]. Burke, who
spoke most feelingly Of the departed
Elks and drew some beautiful les
sons from the teachings of Elkdom.

A MOON LIGHT HIKE.

Sixteen girls and boys chaperoned
by Miss Hannah took a moon light
hike to Boutte's Junction last Thurs
day. The party left Mrs. Conrad's at
seven o'clock. The night was clear
and cool and the young people rae
ed, played and had generally good
time both going and coming. The
party had been invited to eat sugar
cane and there is no doubt of its
appreciation of the cane by the
amount consumed. Those present had
such a good time that similar hikes
are planned for the future.

R.R. SIGNAL TOWER WRECKED.

The signal tower, situated on the
S. P. and N. l. & N. crossing about
one mile above the Southern Pacific
passenger station, was almost DEM
olished by a peculiar accident.
This tower controls the railroad
switches and main line tracks for
both of these railroads, where there
are large number of switch tracks.
1t is operated by signal towermen,
Messrs. H. W. Gould, Guy Dehart
and Arthur Koch, each running it
an eight hour shift each day. 1t
throws the switches by electricity.
Monday morning a heavily loaded
freight was pulling past the tower.
Wishing to bring his train to a stop
the engineer "threw on the air."
There was a break in the air line
so that while the front part Of the
train stopped the back part kept on.
A heavy flat car, with cane rack
built on it, was caught in the res
ulting squeeze and forced up until
it stood on end and then toppled
over onto the signal tower knocking
one side of the tower loose and
probably moving the entire building
off it's foundation.
Mr.. Gould was in the tower wher
the crash started but states that he
didn't stick around" to see what
would happen-and it is fortunate
indeed that the building did not col
lapse with him in it as it would
probably have crushed him.
Outside of interrupting traffic to
some extent and breaking some OF
the electric signal wires, which were
easily re-connected, no delay or in
convenience was caused to the rail
road traffic, as peculiarly enough
none of the apparatus in the tower
was damaged.

That Lands enjoyed his visit to New
