STONE WILL Be USED
In Paving the Extension of
Hill Street.
SOLICITOR INSTRUCTED
To Make a New Contract With
Mr.. Rice.

The city council held a special
meeting last evening, at which
were present Mayor Lawrence, Re-
corder Sybert and Councilmen
Thistle, Hays and Work.
The reading of the minutes of the
last regular meeting was dispensed
with.
Councilman Hays stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting, which was to
consider the contract awarded w.
F. Rice for paving Hill street ex
tension.
At the regular session of the
council Monday evening, the two
estimates in this work were opened
and read. The successful bidder,
in his estimate, figures on oak
plank for the cu1bing and the
intended use of this material
for the work has raised
a hornets nest, iguratively speak
ing, about the ears OF our city
guardians, many of the property
owners on the extension have used
very forceful language in condem
ing the action OF the council in the
matter and in at least two instance
refusal to pay the assessment was
threatened.
There is no question but that the
council has acted in perfect good
faith and believe that the contract
they had authorized would insure a
suitable and substantial job. But
in order to avoid friction it was de-
cided to instruct City Solicitor
Blackmarr to draw up new con,
tract with Mr.. Rice which will
provide for the use of sawed stone
curbing 4 by 12 and IS inches at 80
cents per lineal foot, instead of oak
plank at 10 cents per lineai foot as
specified In the original contract
which had not yet been signed.
Mr.. Rice will begin the fulfill
ment of the contract very soon. 1t
will not take over a week of favor
able weather to complete the work
There being no further business for
the consideration OF the council the
meeting adjourned until next Mon
day evening.

in a large number of completed
wells, will not materially increase
the production.
The trade never was more inter
ested in the turn of the wheel con-
trolling the conditions and prices
for oil, and as the exchange prices
Of 100 to 1904 would suggest, are
feeling quite bullish on the situa-
ton. 1t is not improbable that the
monopolistic manipulators Of prices
will sooner or later attempt to
shake out some of the producers
holdings of credit balances and for
this purpose will resort to their same
old cheap methods OF reducing
export quotations"
The persistency of the producers
In holding their oil is having
grand effect in increasing values.
The season of large shipments and
increased demand is now with us,
and to meet the demand an in
creased price must be paid to induce
more drilling in small territory the
only available source of production
that seems to be in sight. Requir-
ing constant monthly stimulus of
$4,000 barrels of new production to
maintain the old at $4,000 to 95,-
900 barrels per day means a very
large construction account each
month, and this can only be met by
permanent and an assured In
crease In values. Never has there
been season more favorable to
active operations than the summer
and fall now drawing to a close.
Water there has been in abundance.
The roads have been in splendid
condition. All that has failed to
increase production is the scarcity
of territory. Values must increase.
The Review has been persistent in
its belief of higher prices, and can
now see no reason why a still
further advance should not take
place.
BENwOOD.
Special to the Review.
Henry's are cleaning out Holts-
claw No. and expect to shoot that
we'll in few days.
Fishers Cehrs No. E is making
about IL barrels day. This is an
extreme northeast we'll on the farm
and has been drilled for nearly two
years which shows a good lasting
quality as the production was very
small at first. Only two wells, Nos.
and 6 are pumping on the Cehrs
farm, the others, about five. in num-
ber, have all been pulled and
abandoned. All the unused rigs
here are being hauled to Jackson's
ridge.
The Albert Jackson we'll on the
ridge is nearly due in the Injun
and a good production is expected.
A rs or 80 barrel well was drilled
in on the Charles Frank lease, by
Fishers, last week.
Culbertson' Hobbs we'll at An

on the Nee0 1arm, DaCk OF st. |
Marys, was expected in yesterday,
but the work has been indefinitely
delayed by the tools getting stuck.
Bartlett & Stancliff's we'll on the
Reed farm, back of St. Marys, was
drilled In yesterday, and is good for
SO barrels day.
Treat & Crawford S No. on the
J. T. A. Hawkins was due in the
sand last evening.
The Henry Oil company's No. 5
on the Gorrell, in the northeast ex-
tension of the Elk Fork pool, has
been drilled 1900 feet. Their No.
I on the Morrow farm is down 900
feet and the Sinch casing is in.
The Sun Oil company's No. I on
the Adds farm, in the northeast ex-
tension of the Elk Fork pool, came
in big gasser last evening. 1t is
good for 100000 feet day.
The wildcat we'll of J. w. Boyer
and others at Padens Valley would
have been in three weeks ago had
it not been for a series of mishaps
which included serious cave-iu.
The we'll will probably be in next
Wednesday.
Out in the northeast extension of
the Elk Fork field, Treat & Craw-
ford have drilled in their No. 1 on
the Wetzel lease, and will have a
producer good for about 80 to 40
barrels a day, Judging from the
showing made when it was drilled
in.
The Carter Oil company has
drilled in It's No. on the Cox farm
in close proximity to It's we'll on the
McLain farm near Bloomfield, and
will have a producer good for
about IS to 80 barrels day. This
we'll is almost directly north of the
Little Muskingum Oh company's
we'll on the Martha Thomas farm,
and coming in good, makes that
farm look gilt-edged.
This company has the rig COM
pleted and will be ready to start in
couple of days at their No on
the Day farm in the same territory.
Nichols & Barnsdall's No. 8 on
the Hawkins lease in the north
east extension of the Elk Fork pool
should be In the sand some time
this evening or tomorrow morning
Their No. 9 will be started spud-
ding this evening. The rig was
completed a couple of days ago
and it was rugged up yesterday.
The speculative features of the
oil market would indicate that the
purchasing agency is not paying
the price justified in the markets
OF the world" For period of over
SIX weeks speculative prices have
taken the lead of the credit balance
price and several prominent brok-
ers have been persistent buyers of
certificates. The principle sellers
have been brokers representing
Standard Oil company interests.
The claim is made by brokers that
the purchasing agencies offer to
sell and do sell some oil for the ac-
count of producers whenever they
may desire to take advantage of
the advanced exchange price but
the amount thus sold Is compara-
lively small as compared with the
demand tor speculative account.
Conditions are such as to induce
spectators to invest in oil for a
good round upward turn in the
market. There Is not the slightest
indication of any prolific pools be.

President and His Cabinet Make Ey-

CONGRESS- GETTING IMPATIENT
War Preparations Continue, ana Everything
Indicates That Ii viii Be Impossible

tties With Spain.
CONGRESS- GETTING IMPATIENT

From day 10 day during the week it
has seemed impossible that another
twenty-four hours could go by without
arriving at crisis, but definite action
has been STAYED off from time to time
until many people are beginning to be-
lieve that the peace policy of the presi-
dent and his cabinet may yet prevail
but at the same time active war prepa-
rations continue.
The liner st. Paul has been ordered
into the navy during the week, flying
squadron has been organized and sta
toned at Hampton Roads under COM
mand Of Commodore Schley, and all of
the ships of the navy are being painted
dull lead color, which is considered to be
the best fighting color.
The following is a complete abstract of
the report of the court of inquiry which
investigated the wrscking of the Maine:
First-The court finds that at the time
of the explosion the bsttleshlp Maine
was living in five and one half to SIX
fathoms of water.
Second-The discipline aboard the ship
was excellent; everything stored accord
ing to orders-ammunitlon, guns, stores,
etc. / he temperature of the magazines at
p. m. was normal, except in the after
10 inch magazine, and that did not ex
plode.
Third-The explosion occurred at 8 40
O'Clock on the evening of February 10.
There were two explosions, with q very
short interval between them. The ship
lifted on the first explosion.
Fourth The court can form no def
mite opinion of the wreck from the d.
vers' evidence.
Fifth-Gives the technical details OF the
wreckage, from which the court deduces
that mine was exploded under the ship
on the port side.
Slxth-The explosion was due to no
fault OF those on board.
Seventh-Contsins the opinion OF the
court, stating that the explosion of the
mine caused the explosion of two maya
zines.
Eighth-The court declares that it can
not find evidence to fix responsibility.
The report is unanimous, and is signed
by all the members of the court.
The report was accompanied by mes
sage from the president reciting the
events that led up to the catastrophe, but
making no recommendation of action of
any kind.
A second message was expected from
the president on Wednesday, but it did
not come. Bailey OF Texas, democratic
leader in the house, as matter OF privi-
lege, presented the following resolution !.
