Oh. when our need is uttermost
And the long sorrow seems to last.

In the still course thy cycle runs,
Bethink thee of that olden once
Wherein to such as Death may strike
Thou vert a sister. sisterlike:

eign countries having any effect on the
market for American refined, which the
Standard has been telling the people for
some time, and which has been soaring
operators. is not believed as generally
now as it was formerly and the most of
the producers have come to the conclus-
ion that it is only bugbear which Is used
by the big trust to manipulate the mar
ket. The fact that the resumption of re-
fined oil is becoming more general each
year, while the production Is continually
declining, show very plainly that the
market should go up instead of down.
The State of West Virginia produces more
than one half of the high grade oil. and
the production is falling off here right
along in a territory which for productive
ness has not been equalled for many
years. The writer will make a prediction
that oil will start up along the line in less
than two weeks and that it win not stop
until it has reached a mark where is will
be possible for the operators to so out
drilling wildcat territory without being in
danger of breaking up if they should not
get wells of better than 80 barrels day.
1t looks very much as though the oper-
ators have been working together during
have been acting. Some times one almost
believes they have a secret understanding
of some kind in regard to drilling with the
market at such a figure. They have not
been doing any wildcatting and they will
do very little this fall and winter unless
the price of the commodity goes to a
point where 1t will be possible for them
TO make some money in doing so.
The outlook in the northeastern extern
sion of the Elk Fork field is perhaps the
best in West Virginia at present. During
the week there has been very little of in
terest taken place in that territory witp
the exception of large number of new
wells being started. There are at the
present time about twelve or fifteen new
wells being started in that part of the Elk
Fork territory and during the next thirty
days there will be some interesting de-
velopments. All the wells that have been
drilled IN in that section up to date have
been good producers and there is every
indication to believe that good.
big pool. possibly one as large
as the original Elk Fork will be opened.
AT this time the indications for such an
occurrence are very favorable and It
would be very small surprise to no one
If such should be the case. All the wells
which have been drilled in out there up
to the present time are holding up in their
production.
OF the new work being started in that
field the firm of Treat & Crawford have
two wells drilling on the Wetzfl farm.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1898-10-02

Their No on the Wetzel farm is drilling
at about 500 feet, and their No. is drilling
at about 400 to 900 feet. These wells are
in close proximity to the well drilled IN
on the Clendenning a short time ago,
which started off al the rate of better
than two hundred barrels day, and there
is very little doubt but that they will be
good producers when drilled
There were several wells due in the sand
out there during the week. but none of
them have been heard from. The Henry
OIL Co. had well due on the Gorrell farm
on Friday, but up to this afternoon 1t had
not been heard from. Childers & Co.'S
No on the Henthorn farm. the well on
which they drilled for so long, should
have been in the latter part of the week,
but it too has been delayed and has not
yet been heard from. Another well which
was due in the sand yesterday was the
South Penn Oil Co.'S No. on the Cum
ningham lease.
Every person who has a piece OF terri
tory within miles of the northeast extern
sion is making preparations to drill it and
the work will be done at once, 100. The
fact that the market was on the advance
during portion of the week put great
deal of ginger in the operators doing work
in that section, and they have all braced
up quite little and are making prepara-
tons to test their holdings. 1t is expect
ed at during the coming week there
will be quite number of wells started
there, possibly as many as during last
week. which was about a dozen.
During the next week there will be sew
eral wells due in the northeast extension
of the Elk Fork pool. The South Penn Oil
Co. is drilling a well on the Cunningham
farm which should reach tbs sand about
the middle of the week, anS it should be
in not later than Thursday. The Eastern
Oil Co. should have q. well in the sand the
early part of the week on the GorreN
lease, while the well being drilled on the
Mercer farm by Gafney & Co. should be
in about the middle of the week. The
in such a manner that they are important
tests of at least q portion of the territory
and they will be watched very closely by
the talent in all parts of the field.
The Eastern Oil Co. is making prepara-

part of the field this fall and winter

OIL ON THE MARKET Is EAAG-
GERATED - WHAT HAS BEEN
DONE DURING THE PAST WEEK
THE OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE.
AS is always the case, the most interest
ing thing during the week in oil circles
was the two changes in the market. The
first occurred Tuesday, when the price
OF credit balances went up TO S1.06 for the
grade of oil known as Pennsylvania. This
IS the highest this grade has been for at
least twenty months. Wednesday there
was no change in the market, but on
Thursday it broke and went down a peg
on all grades except the Limas and In
diana. OF course when the market broke,
as has always been the case, there were
a number of people who made a rush for
the pipe line office to sell their oil. The
more level headed operators and produce
ers did not do this as they are partly on to
the tricks of the great octopus, and knew
that the decline of one cent on the barrel
for petroleum on Thursday was simply a
scare They know that the Standard will
be compelled to pay more for the oil now
being produced before winter is over and
the more prudent operators and producers
are holding on to their product
That there will be an increase in the
price of crude before the winter is over
is conceded by the best posted men in the
oil business. They all know that the
Standard does not have near enough oil
each month to fill its orders. If there is
anything in the claim of these people that
they will pay the market price for oil
created by the demand for the product,
oil at the present time should be worth
at least fifty cents more on the barrel and
1t is the candid opinion of the writer that
before the winter is over oil will have ad-
vanced at least to fifty cents better than
it is at the presene time. There is de-
cline of not less than half million bar
rels this month in the stocks above
ground and how is The trust going to make
that up. The opel Ptors nave been doing
very little worl ring the summer, and
they will do Ia is winter unless there
is great ine1 n the price.

parties. When congress has seen fit TO
allow each state to enact its own laws on
this subject, there has been great variety
OF procedure and OF results. 1t has been
the rule in some states TO allow such
creditors to come in and prove and re-
lease their claims against the debtor as
desired to participate in the distribution
of assets, and allow those claims not so
proved and released to stand as valid
against the debtor until fully paid or un-
til they should have become outlawed
by lapse of time. And some states have
required all debtors, over whom they
had jurisdiction, to release their claims
against the insolvent, or in default OF
their so doing, The said claims would be
released by the court.
"From reading the national bank
ruptcy law. am convinced that 1T was
passed at the instance of the debtor
class, and it is certainly in the interest
of such men as are deeply in debt and
who have insufficient assets with which
to liquidate the same. There is no re-
quirement of the applicant for relief but
indebtedness. and an honest appeal to
the court. His indebtedness is forgiven
and blotted out. There remain no traces
of disgrace and civil disability as there
do in France but he IS left free man to
go forward and begin life anew.
"This ia not good thing for man to
do when he can possibly avoid it, but to
the hopelessly involved, it is star OF
hope leading him forward to anew life.
