Congressman Huling, Of the Third
District, Sees the Chirography on
the Wall.

Special to the Register.
washington, D. c., June 13.-The
deciination of Congressman Hullng' Oh
the Third district, to try for a renoml-
ration was not surprise to people
here. who knew the Congressman ana
are familiar with political conditions IN
his district. Mr.. Huling was disguised
in the first instance at the talk OF oppo-
sition to his denomination in his own
party. He thought that his service 10
the the party in the district entltled
him 10 nomination without opposition:
But this alone would not have caused
him to retire He would probably have
made the fight for denomination ana
won if he had not become convinced
that the chance Of e,ecting any RepuD-
lican in the district this fall was ex-
ceedingly slim. He is aware that con-
ditions in the district have greatly
changed since ne was elected by a big
majority in 1894. The Democrats
there have recovered their Old time ag-
eressiveness and with a strong candl-
date are likely to redeem the district
this fall. Mr.. Huling concluded, there
fore. there was not enough for him IN
a seat in the House TO warrant him IN
making the arduous and expensive
campaign he would be obliged to make
in order to have even chance of Win
ming, especially. if he had first to make
an expensive campaign for the nomina-

OIL NEWS.
Snecial 70 the Register.

Special to the Register.
Sisersvllle. W. Va, June 13.-Ihe
River Gas Company are putting the GA
casing in their last well in the Waverly
fed.
The Kanawha Oil Company are busy
hauling the Ga casing from Friendly,
end Ben's Run to their wells out in the
Wick district. They commenced to-
day casing their Anthony Smith well.
Despite twaddle regarding the play
ing out of the field, there is more work
going on. not altogether in the imme-
date vicinity but in the territory ad-
iacent. considering the very rainy and
muddy weather we are experiencing,
than ever before. The operators are
now coming back and drilling in the
territory which has been skipped or
developed. but very little. There IS no
doubt that crude oil will be found in
many spots right here in the city,
which have been left for later devel-
opment. at least the Carter Oil Com
pany are of that belief, as is indicated
by the holes they are making in the
outskirts OF town, and in blocks of ter
ritory that are now unknown and which
adjo.n tracts which have some very old
wells on them that are still good pro-
ducers. This field is being rapidly ex-
tended, and although they call the diff
ferent pools by different names it is all
in the Sistersville field and these differ
ent pools are merely tributaries to this
greatest of pools. Development eX-
tends as far north as BenwOod, out in
the interior of Wetzel county, along
Fish creek and its tributaries, up along
Indian creek, around Middle Island,
then over 10 Cole Lick. Down short
distance you come to the Wick and He
bron pools, and then there is large
block containing thousands of acres
that have not yet been tested lying be-
tween the Hebron and Cairo fields.
This land will before very long have
many holes in it, and it looks practical
BILE that there should be some good pro-
ducing wells drilled in, lying so prom
inently between two good pools. The
development then runs down the B. &
O. railroad. over in Wood county near
the old Volcano producers, and then
down the Ohio river through Jackson,
Mason and Cabell, and then up into
Lincoln and MiG.-o counties. These
last named counties have been tested
but very little, but enough to stimu-
late operations, and there is no reason
why an abundance of crude oil cannot
be gotten out of these territories. Com
ing back again to the starting point,
you find that SisterSville is the head
quarters for all the above fields. Every
thing necessary for the drilling and
completion of wells can be. are and is
being purchased here. Over on the
Ohio side the territory heretofore skip
ped is being bored into with good re-
suits and is also being extended in all
directions.
