Ellenboro, W. Va, February 2S.-
Operations throughout the Richie
county fields are becoming more active
as spring approaches, although the
country roads are still in a deplorable
condition. The recent strike of the
Sill Oil Company. near Macfarlan, in
the southern part Of the county, at the
terminus Of the Cairo and K9nawha
Valley railroad, has occasiOned much
activity in that section. the leasers are
busy taking up al. AVAILABLE territory.
The oil company has erected 800 bar

their well on the Mcclure farm until
the Eureka Pipe Line Company can

The Henry Oil Company's we'll at
CORVALLIS viii probably make 90 bar
rels per day, and the company is now
erecting rigs on adjacent farms owned
by Patrick McCabe and Christopher
Douglass.

four acres of land adjoining the Corn
wallis we'll and will erect a rig at
once
II. S. Wilson is preparing to drill a
we'll on his 2.400 acre tract Of land lying
between Devil Hole and Macfarlan.

The people along the Gulf coast
of Alabama. Mississippi and
Louisiana are in trouble with a
serious visitation of the dread
disease, yellow fever. We hope
that the sanitary precautions
taken may confne the disease
within it's present limits, and
that within those limits it may
not develop into an epidemic.
The panic throughout the Gulf
region may be readily accounted
for when we remember the dread
full experiences of 1878. No one
can foreteli the future, but there
are nearly or quite two months
yet, that the disease may run.
We earnestly hope that the frost
which will subdue the fever may
come early this year. Meantime,
we extend cordial sympathy to
our southern friends in these
states and trust that they may
escape an epidemic.

The lingo policy on the Cuban
question which was urged upon
President Mckinley as soon as
he was inaugurated President is
now seen to have been an unwise
and unsafe one, and the wisdom
of the Presidents course of ac-
ton is meeting with popular ap-
prevail. 1t is now apparent
from the developments since
Minister Woodford's arrival in
Spain that the attitude of the
administration will be such as to
bring about a termination of the
troubles in Cuba, and in a way
which will avoid the criticism
which would have surely fol-
lowed the precipitate action
urged by many people immedi-
ately after the inauguration OF
the president. Those who were
inclined to criticise what they
considered the slow progress OF
the President, now see that his
course was the wise one.
