The anmouncement of the double task which has been entrusted to Mr. Hales, who will be given an lnnu,l salary of $6,500, shows a reversal of policy by the Government in the matâ€" ter of prosecutions under the License Act, which were formerly divorced from the administration of the License Board.

New Orleane Next After "Dixie lind" the big cosmoâ€" politan city of New Orleans is the next feature of interest. Here rep resentatives of almost evéry nationâ€" ality are to be found and alert Ameriâ€" cans rub shoutders with the sleepy Spanfards, garrulous Frenchmen mix with â€" treacherous Mexicans, . while handsome dusky Creoles, the aristoâ€" crate of the city, are to be seen everyâ€" whore. The city is very old and the buildings, especially in the business sections, are quite antiquated, but the fine old residences, wide streets and ;Ponhmdl. are still silent witnesses to the grandeur of the storied citadel of the first French stronghold in the South. : Houston was Mr. Hass‘ destination and, the oil wells which surround this city make it of equal interest to Dawâ€" son City and the Yukon, in the days of the gold rush,. _ Sixteen years ago Houston was a city with a population of 30,000; toâ€"day it has a population of 185,000 and has some of the most modern and most valuable buildings of any city in America. Pictures of the office. buildings of the Gulf Ofi Company, The Texas Oil Company and the Humble Oil Company were taken by Mr. Hass and are monuments to the wealth and progreulvenosu of these glant organizations. The oil flelds, howevéer, were the most interesting part of this most }ntereltlng trip. Here fortunes are made overnight and every square foot of ground is worth a prince‘s ransom. The big Canadian Company, The Abraâ€" ham West Columbia, whose head office is in Toronto, has holdings right around the dome or oil belt.* It has a big acreage within a stone‘s throw of a producing well which has already earned $10,000,000 and is still capable of producing many thousand barrels more of this liquid mqney. proval as fast as the _ same can be procured which _ acreage The production of one well may be given as an example of the many in that district.

The waterâ€"is not oily, said Mr. Hass, as might be expected. Often the ‘low stops when the tide in the gulf goos out as the oil strata lies below the gulf. Mr. Hass also visited Galveston which he found to be very interesting. He has many excellent pictures . of his travels, especially of the oil fields showing the wells in operation.
