Special to the Review.
Fishers drilled Piatt No. ? into
the Berea sand last week and will
have a very good we'll. The pro-
duction is estimated at from 20 10
80 barrels. The gas pressure is
very small, but caused the well to
flow once or twice while they were
agitating her with the tools. The
Standard company has laid line
connecting this we'll with their Be
rea line, which runs from New Cas-
tie to Sistersville.
J. @. Devaul, of Laings, has
leased up block of about 500
acres for a man by the name OF
Mcdonald, who proposes to put
down a we'll in so days. The land
lies north of this field.
The Sistersville company's King
No. s, which was lately cleaned out
at New Castle, is said to be doing
we'll and making almost as large a
production botg of oil and gas as
she ever did.
A we'll on the Hathorn farm near

Fishers are preparing to start

From FRIDAYS Daily
The Pittsburg Post of yesterday,
commenting on the oil market, has
practically the same to say as the
Review has advocated all the while.
There is not shadow Of doubt but
that the market should be much
higher than the present quotation
of the Standard Oil company. We
have advised and still insist on the
producer holding on to his oil. In
our opinion Notwithstanding the
late decline better prices must pre-
vail. The Post says:
Oil should be worth more than
current quotations. That the oil
producers and royalty owners OF
the PENNSYLVANIA and West Viz
ginia producing fields are today
masters OF the situation, and can
command .t Least = fair and -aasor-
able price for this commodity, pro
vided they exercise the powers
vested in them through the present
strained conditions OF both the mar
ket and field, there can be little
doubt. Probably never before in
the history OF the petroleum indus
try in this country have the same
conditions ruled as at present. 1t

men guessing. Just why it started
down is not plain. There IS no war
scare, the production is away down
below the shipments ard oil should
advance, but it don't. But few oil
producers have sold their oil, and
are still inclined to hold on to it In
hopes of a better market, which we
think is coming before very long.
There is an election this fall and
the trusts will try to elect an other
trust Congress, to do this they Will
be forced to let up some on their
present grinding methods, and tor
this, if for no other reason they will
probably advance oil. We still adj
wise our readers to hold their oil.
A good many teams started out
to the oil fields this morning, but
Just when they will get there is
more than we can tell. The past
few days having been warm and
dry, the roads are beginning to set
tie some, and a few more such days
would make the roads very stiff,
but still navigable. At any rate the
business has nvened up a good
deal, and things look like old times
again. We look for very active
trade this summer, even if no new
pool is opened up, as there is much
drilling and repairing to be done
in the old pools, and many OF our
operators are going to wildcat con-
siderable in our county this year.
A we'll known business man OF
our city returned home last evening
from business trip to the Whiskey
run oil field. He went via Parkers-
burg. From that hamlet he took a
train TO Ellenboro and from thence
drove FIVE miles into the country to
the field. In other words to reach
this field via the hamlet aforesaid
YOU have to travel eighty-hve miles
by rail and FIVE on horseback. You
can drive to the field from this city
and make it in twenty miles, or go
down to St. Marys and drive to the
field in twelve miles, hence the
claim OF Parkersburg to this field Is
unmitigated nonsense. When the
roads settle the hauling can be done
from this city very readily or from
ST. Marys. This gentlemen reports
no new wells in and says that leases
for miles in every direction from
the one big we'll is held at fabulous
prices.
NEW GAS COMPANY.
The TriState Gas company COM
posed OF Pittsburg capitalists have
established an Office in the Farmers
s. Producers National bank build
ing. This company has lately pur-
chased the Boremau heirs gas farm
OF Gartlau & Company. There are
three gas wells on the lease. Two
Of them are shut in and the pro-
duct OF the other one is being used
by operators in the Elk Fork field.
The property was bought for the
purpose Of supply up the river
towns: New Martinsyille will be the
terminal OF their line for the pres
ent time. The probabilities are that
several small towns up the river
will be furnished by late fall.

which should govern the price Tor
Pennsylvania crude better than the
producers themselves, and their
present stand in holding on to their
oil is fully justified by these condi-
tons. Granted that the Standard
Oil trust and its affiliated corpora
tons own and control from 10000

vania oil, still the fact remains that
neither thirty, forty nor fifty thou
sand barrels daily in excess of the
amount the Standard owns IS equiv
alent to the worlds demand for the
best of Illuminating products, Penn
sylvania oil.
The field presents waiting"
appearance. The unsettled condi-
ton of the market and the condi-
ton of the roads have caused the
operator to postpone planning for
summer until later. This is true
with almost every independent pro-
Queer, but not so with the affiliated
companies of the Standard; they
can be found validating in every
direction. Not only this, but they
are busy trying to keep up their
failing production wherever there is
a possible hope of being rewarded
with producer of any size.
They are the only people who
are at work in the Elk Fork, He
bron and Plum Run pools. They
may be found in Wetzel and Richie
counties, in fact, wherever there IS
show for a small pool they are
always on hand.
They are not only combining them
selves in prospective territory that
is considered in the oil producing
belt, but they are branching out in
every imaginary direction.
Among their latest, and possibly
the most important venture, is the
Carter Oil company's test in the Big
Hooking valley, twelve miles from
nowhere. The nearest railroad
station is Coalville. They have Sc
cured a vast area of leases, and will
j possibly make several tests.

celebrating Frances greatest day. Long

America forever!''
In the absence of Senator Bulla, who
was reported sick, Walter F. Haas ad-
dressed the celebrants in a very clever
speech. He said that the cause which
brought US together was that of humanity
for which the Red Cross was also. The
speaker referred to the horrors of the
epoch which had preceded the fall of the
Bastile, the infamy of lettres de cachet,
under which men, whose only crime 1t was
to differ in opinion with the sovereign or
without trial or Formally as completely as
if the earth had swallowed them up. War
had been justifiable in this unbearable sit
uation, and the outcome of it had been
Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. The speak
er reminded the men of French extraction
that, by reason of naturalization, they
were now American citizens, and that they
had right to bear arms for the defense or
the honor of their adopted country, which
is now their country, that of their children
and those that will come after these. They
had a right to take up rifles for the proven
ton of the massacre of the people of Cuba.
These people will redeem themselves, no
matter what is said now to their detriment

desire to visit his elder brother Dell, who is
the Southern Pacific agent at the town of
Nordhoff. in the DIAL valley, but his pa
rents did not care to humor him. The boy
was directed to do some chores about the
house, but he did not take kindly to his
duties and tried to shirk the work.
On Wednesday last his father admon-
ished him to do better and this appeared to
have a depressing effect upon the youth.
He told his mother he intended to go to
Nordhoff, but no account was taken of this
as 1t was supposed he was INDUCING in idle
talk. He disappeared, however, and since
then no trace has been had of him. His
brother was communicated with and the
reply brought the information that Elmer
had not made his appearance In the DIAL

have befallen the boy.

Sydow placed his cash in his pocket, and

pushed his bicycle to the sidewalk. The men
started toward him, their evident intention
being to hold him up, but the butcher was
