Reports FROM the Blue Jay country
are somewhat meager this week. The

ton, and bas got down to twelve or
thirteen barrels; doubtless the we'll

Preparations are making to lay a
pipe line from the Blue Jay to connect
with the United line from Kane to the
lover oil country which was laid
through parts of this county last sum
mer.
Fox q Hill are putting up a rig
southwest of the Blue Jay. They will
commence drilling this week.

The people Of Tionesta voted last
not to build new school
house. Iu these days Of the develop
ment Of oil in Forest countp, Tionesta
should offer Inducements to men of
family to settle in their town. And
what holds good in Tionesta also holds
good in Tidoute. We have always
had good schools, and it is the daty Of
School Directors to make them as
much better as possible. The grum'
