Banquet.

Last Saturday there was seen on
our streets quite a number OF we'll
dressed, wide-a-wake, gentlemanly fel-
lows who were strangers here. In
quiry revealed the fact that they had
been doing expert work for the Cham
pion binder company, in this territory
in which E. j. Buholtz is general
agent. Their numbers represented a
half dozen states, and after the close
| of their labors they assembled here be-
fore departing for their several homes.
In the evening they held a banquet at
! the Murphy Cafe which was a highly
enjoyable affair.
They sat down to we'll loaded tables
at 9:30, and before proceeding to do
justice to the elegantly cooked and
served, spring chicken, they surprised
Mr.. Buholtz by presenting him with a
handsome easy chair.
In making the presentation they as
! sured Mr.. Buholtz that this was but a
slight expression of the eateem in
which he was held, and by his courte-
Gus treatment he had made OF each
of them a warm personal friend.
Mr.. Buhotlz responded in a neat
speech of thanks. BY this time it was
| noticed tt at the hands and arms OF a
number present were affected with a
nervous twitching-a sort OF spas
modic, reaching out movement, that
was the source of considerable appre-
hension to their friends. But when
someone announced that it was time
to eat, the mystery was solved. The
timely precision in which sixteen pairs
of hands reached for those chickens
was a marvel even to those who were
used to, automatic machinery. When
there was not enough chicken left to
crow over, cigars were passed, and
the time spent in telling anecdotes and
singing.
T.. j. Murphy, who is the possessor
of a good baratone voice, favored
them with a few Irish songs. The only
drawback to his singing is his pronun-
citation, he being a typical Italian it
was hard for him to twist his tongue
to the Irish brogue. But just the
same, each song was followed by
thunderous applause. At 1890 the
party escorted Mr.. Buholtz to his
home and dispersed to their hotels
On Sunday they took the train for
their homes. The occasion will long
be remembered by all.

Architect Stevens, of the State Board
Of Reformatory managers, has con-
demned large shipment of cell fronts
for the new cell wing at the State Re-
formatory shipped here by the Ports
mouth Iron Works, the Ohio firm,
which was the lowest bidder. The
board claims that tine work is not ac-
cording to specifications and tele-
graphed the firm to stop shipments.
The firm claims that it made a mistake
in the specifications and is willing to
make good its contract. The cell
fronts are now being overhauled at
the shops of the st. Cloud Iron Works
in this city at the expense of the Ohio
firm. They will be overhauled and
made to conform to the specifications
and the approval of the board. Only
part of the cell fronts have been
shipped and those that have not left
the shops will of course be overhauled
there. j ournal Press.

the city and its interests in every way
to have a government armor plant es-
tablished here. 1t would be an indus
try Of incalculable benefit to the city
and all branches of.business and to the
State.
There is every probability that if
timely and proper attention is given to
the subject by the Chamber of Com
merce, or by the Mayor and Council
in conjunction with the Chamber, that
Wheeling may secure this plant, for,
with the possible exception of Pitts
burg, there is not another city in the
country better situated or with better
advantages for the location of such an
industry.
The Register hopes our business peo-
pie and proper authorities will take
prompt action in the matter and use
every effort to have the Naval Board
visit this city. This is an excellent
chance for Wheeling to gain a great
and permanent industry. which ought
not to be missed

The Chicago Chronicle calls atten-
ton to the fact that the bankers of
the United States, especially country
bankers, are sending money from place
to place in increasing quantities by
mail in registered letters or packages.
And something like systematic agi-
tation is in progress with a view to
making this practice general among
bankers and Withdrawing their money
carrying business from the express
companies.
An interesting paper on this subject
was read before the American Bankers
Association, at Detroit, by Mr. Char
les r. Hannah, president of the Iowa
State Bankers Association. Mr.. Han
nan stated some facts which no doubt
were well enough known to bankers
and OTHERS having occasion to ship
money. but probably are not well
known to other people.
He stated, for one thing, that the
through rate from New York to San
Francisco by express for carrying pa
per money was $1.75 per $1,000 But
from New York to Chicago it was 81,
from Chicago to Denver 1925 and from
Denver to San Francisco SIS, making
1926 from New York to San Francisco.
where there are two "stop-overs. If
money can be carried from New York
TO San Francisco for S1.75 per 81 900
there would seem to be no good reason
why the charge should be nearly twice
as great from Chicago to Denver and
nearly three times as great from Denver
to San Francisco.
Mr.. Hannah states other facts of the
same kind, all Of which serve to suggest
that it would not be amiss to apply the

MORE POLITICAL sTRAws.

The verdict rendered by the people
in the municipal elections in Indian
apolis and Chattanooga are repetitions
of the earlier verdicts in similar cleo
tons in Connecticut and elsewhere, in
which the Democrats uniformity made
remarkable gains and almost every
where carried the day. The elections in
Indianapolis and Chattanooga are still
more emphatic victories for the DEM
ocrats, both being practically clean
sweeps and almost tidal wave in ia
vor of the Democratic tickets.
1t is well enough to say that nation
al issues have nothing to do with mu-
nicipal elections, which, in the strict
sense, is true, but the average voter,
even the most intelligent, is bound to
be Influenced even in voting for Mayor
and Councilmen by the politics Of the
candidates, especially when other
things are equal and he knows the YER
dict at the polls will be construed as
yoicing the sentiments of the people
of the community en- the fundamental
issues between the parties in the State
and nation. The unanimity with which
these elections have gone Democratic,
in many instances reversing large Re-
publican majorities, cannot be explain
ed away on the ground of local issues.
For surely our Republican friends will
not hold that their political brethren
in all these cities and towns so widely
separated are uniformly wrong in mu-
nicipal matters and the Democrats uni
formly right. Furthermore, our Repub-
lioan friends have never yet failed to
duly credit their party in the nation
with an endorsement when that party
won in a municipal election.
In Indianapolis there can be no doubt
whatever of the significance Of the YER
dict, for the whole city campaign was
fought on the silver issue. And on
this platform the Democratic ticket
was elected by an enormous majority,
the Republicans getting but four coun-
cilmen out of fifteen. In Chattanooga
normal Republican majority of 500
was changed to Democratic majority
of about a thousand.
There is no installing the signifi-
canoe of these returns. They are Of
national import. Republicans, disgust
ed with the record Of their party, every
where declined to go to the polls, or
went to the polls and voted the DEM
ocratic ticket.

slong andsshort shaulsclause Of the inter
State commerce act-to the express COM
panies as wells as toAthe railroad conn
panies. They also suggest that ques-
tionable Influences have been brought
to bear to preventive application Of
that law-to the express companies when
it has been proposed in the past.
Next Mr.. Hannah figures the cost OF
carrying by registered mail. The reg
istry fee is 8 cents. The postage var
les with the denominations Of the bills,
and he takes cents per 81 200 as the
average. Insurance is somewhat in
proportion to distance, the average be-
ing assumed at, say, so cents per $1,000.
Figuring thus, the cost of sending $10,-
900 from New York to Detroit by regis
tered mail would be $5.9S; by express
$40; difference in favor of registered
mail, $402. The charge on the same
package by express from New York to
Seattle would be SIS; by insured regis
tered mail, S10.98; difference in favor
of mail $6402.
Still another fact stated by Mr.. Han
nan is that the United States Express
Company has contracted to carry mon
eys and securities for the government
to all points reached by that company
at 20 cents per $1,000, while it charges
the banks $3.50 per 81 900 to the same
points.
This is great difference and, what
is more, it is a remarkable concession
to the uniform rate principle. The
difference accounts for the success
some of our secretaries of the treasury
have met with in attracting gold from
the banks to the treasury at times when
eastern banks have had occasion to
send large amounts of currency west
in small notes for crop-moving pur-
poses.
The government at such times has Of
fered to accept gold in exchange for
small notes and TO ship the latter west
at the government contract rate for
expressage. The important saving to
the banks in cost of carrying has thus
served to bring large amounts of gold
into the treasury in exchange for
notes.
In view of these and other facts stat
ed by Mr.. Hannah the wonder is that
the banks did not turn from the express
companies to the postal service long
ago. They have been provoked to take
that step not only by the extreme,
unreasonable and discriminating
charges of the companies, but by the
fact that the latter have invaded the
bankers field with their money order
system.
Where the companies have a prac-
tical monopoly of the money carrying
business they have an advantage in that
branch Of exchange which is represent
ed by the express money order system.
1t would seem only natural, therefore,
that the bankers should have recourse
to the postal service to escape from the
extortionate practices Of corporations
which are invading their special field,
in which competition among them
selves would naturally leave them only
the narrowest margin Of profit.

All the neldS are little quiet at
present and the indications are that
there will not be great deal of more
than ordinary Importance to chronicle
until the early part of next week, when
some of the many wells now drilling
in the vicinity of the Hill Oil Com
panys No. l, in the Elk Fork field.
will be nearing the sand. The Hill Oil
Company's No. 2 should reach the
sand not later than Monday, and a
great deal depends on this well, as
quite number Of persons who have
territory out there are holding back
their operations until it reaches the
sand.
This company's Nos on the Hill
farm is drilling; the rig for No. is
beng built and No 5 is located and the
rig started. No. l, which was shot a
week ago, is still holding up nicely and
is one of the best staying wells in the
field SO far.
The South Penn Oil Company's well
on the Meredith farm at the jug" on
Middle Island creek, back of Middle
bourne, which was reported yesterday
morning as in and dry, is being cased
with the 614 casing and will be drilled
top of the sand, and when the formation
was tapped and a little oil showed it
was shut down until it could be cased
The Argus Oil Company will have
their Nos. and z on the Smith lease
on top Of the sand Saturday, if they
have no bad luck, and they ought TO
reach the first pay some time Sunday.
Henderson & Co.'s No. 3, on the
Snider 15-acre compromise, which has
been completed, will be good for about
125 barrels a day.
Another important well due in the
Elk Fork field in couple of days is the
Elk Fork Oil and Gas Company's No.
1 on the J. K. Hill 49-acre lease. This
well should reach the sand about SUI
day. 1t is wildcat and is in the vicin-
ity of the Hill Oil Company's well.
1t looks very much now as though
the contractors have succeeded in
plugging Treat & Crawford's No. l on
the Williams farm, and the indications
are that the rig will have to be moved
and a new hole drilled.
There is little work being done in
the western extension of the Cochrans-
vile, Ohio, field. The Fisher Oil Com
pany is drilling at about 1920 feet at
their No. 2 on the Carson farm, and
Wilson & Co. have strated drilling at
their No. l on the Amos farm in the
same part of the field.
The extreme drought of the past cou-
pie Of months has been the cause of
a great deal of work being shut down
in all the fields in this State. The deep
sand territory in Tyler and Wetzel
counties is probably suffering more
than any other at present, and there
is but one or two strings of tools run
ming there. The same state Of affairs
exist in many of the other fields, and
good rain would start a great deal of
new work as well as enable the opera
tors to complete what has been started.
The Eastern Oil Company has started
their Nos. 2 and on the Cline farm
to the east of the original Elk Fork de-
velopment. and they are each drilling
at about 40 feet.
