IN TIE OIL COUNTRY.


Snmbrr OF Wells to he Started.
The report received IN SIstersville to
the effect that the South Penn OIL
Company had gotten monster we'll in
the Gordon sand on the Abner Wharf
ton farm near AlVy, on Saturday. Is
correct and has caused great deal OF
excitement among the fraternity In
all parts OF the southwest. When the
we'll was drilled TO the top OF the sand
It had good gas pressure and was
showing some oil and as soon as the
cap was pierced II commenced 10 fill
up rapidly and was soon flowing. The
we'll was reported to be good for four
hundred barrels day and 1t Is believed
now TO be doing even more than that
amount.
The well Is located IN the back part
Of Tyler county in territory that has
not been tested and Is one OF the most
important drilled In for some time on
the West Virginia side OF the river.
This is ttn first we'll drilled to the Cor
don sand In that section that has been
good.
Another important well drilled In
lately Is that OF Moses &; Company on
the Hughes heirs farm out In the vi
entity OF the Sancho territory recently
opened up by the Carter Oil Company.
This we'll was drilled In yesterday
morning and Is reported here to-day to
be doing in the ne.ghborhoot OF one
hundred barrels day. This Is the Sec
ond we'll drilled on this farm, both OF
which are good producers.
There Is a great deal OF new work
starting out In the Sancho territory
nov. All the farms In that section
have been leased and the leases are
held BY 81 many that It will make busi-
ness good for some time. All the peo-
pie holding stuff Will! want 10 drill wells
and it Is expected that ten or twelve
rigs will go up In a very short time.

on the ribbon with a soft pencil and then
embroidered in with silk. Bright red and
olive green make dainty, pretty bag.
Papers that accumulate in odd corners
are often source Of despair to the thrifty
housewife, and l am sure that such a
newspaper case as I saw yesterday would
be OF the greatest use, as it Is large
enough to hold quantity Of papers. It
is quite decorative, and one might be put
in every bedroom, as we'll as in the library
or sitting room. To make such a case a
yard OF fancy mating in rich, deem colors
is required. The selvedged edges form
the sides; the rough edges are some what
difficult to manage, and the best way is
to turn them down and fasten them along
at regular intervals with patent brass
fasteners, clenching them on the wrong
side. Trim off the ends Of the straw neat
ly. Turn up the lower end and tack 1t
to the back with Irvine and a carpet
needle and finish the sides with large
bows Of satin ribbon, attaching two big
brass rings at the top, by which to hang
up the case. Decorate the front with a
bunch of dried grasses or work papers"
across it with heavy worsted.
A piece OF satin fifteen inches wide and
ton inches deep forms charming sew
ing bag. This is to he folded in half and
sewed up the side and bottom. The por.
tion forming the top is cut to fashion
four tabs two and ne.half inches IN
depth. The bag is lined throughout with
silk or satin, forming a sort of binding
at the top Of the tabs, and is drawn up
by ribbon run through a casing. The
sides are trimmed by bows of ribbon and
frills Of lace, and on the front is emh.oid-
cred the initials Of the person for whom
it is intended, surrounded by an empire
wreath. This bag develops prettily in
black and blue satin with lace.

IN jill. NEBDHAM'S FAVOR
Important Ruling by the Secretary Of
the Interior.
VALUABLE CITY PROPERTY INVOLVED
Fruit Growers Urged by MIR. Gilbert
To Preserve Specimens OF winter
Fruit for the Coming Meeting of
the Fruit Growers Association.

An Associated Press dispatch says: A
tract of land in the North Yakima dis.
trict In Washington is involved in the
contest Of john ii. Needham against the
Northern Pacific. The department holds
in this that the tract in controversy is
now public land of the United States,
subject to entry, and that the local office
and the general land Office erred in reject
ing Needham's application to make home
stead entry. Where lands have been er-
roneously awarded to a railroad company
by decision OF the general land office, the
secretary Of the interior may review such
action without regard to the manner 10
which the matter is brought before him.
The record accordingly will be certified to
the department, Needham having appeal
ed for writ of ceriiorari to have the land
office forward the appeal.
The tract referred to includes that part
of the city OF North Yakima lying south
OF the center line of section 10, and is tine
north half Of the southeast quarter and
the east half of the southwest quarter OF
the section. 1t includes the Central
school and all houses and lots south OF
it, though the line runs east and west
while the cross streets vary from the COM
pass line.
The decision is made subject to motion
to review. The land office here has not
yet been notified. 1t is the same land as
was involved in the McCrimmon timber
culture application and contest with the
railway company. 1t is most iemarka-
BILE decision, since It allows homestead
err to take land occupied by streets, houses
and lots. Nothing short of copy OF the
decision will satisfy the curiosity that is
felt concerning the decision.
