CUBANS BREEDING TROUBLE
In SaniiasO-Their Attitude One of
Sullen Hostility Toward the United
States.

In SanIiagO-Their Attitude One of
Sullen Hostility Toward the United
States.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. IS, 1925
a. m.--Trouble with the Cubans is
breeding. Their attitude is one of
sullen hostility toward Americans.
The better class in Cuba favor the
annexation of the island to the
United States, and majority of the
masses are ready and anxious to
work and accept the shelter and
protection offered by an American
protectorate, but they are Influenced
by a certain class of rabid orators
and breeders of sedition and rebel.
lion against anything smacklng of
law and order.
This inhammatory class demands
and urges recognition of Cuba for
Cubans, and spurns all offers or
suggestions tending to prosperity
under an American protectorate,
and excites popular discomfort.
This is exactly the class that pushes
itself most into evidence. Their
advice to the Cubans is to repudiate
all offers of peace.
A wild rumor is afoat to the ef-
feet that the Cuban army will at
tack Santiago and capture it, to the
glory of the Cuban arms as soon as
the American garrison is weakened.
This is directly traceable to the
same source.
The influence exerted by such a
body of men against law and order
is formidable. This historical peo-
pie demands suppression by an iron
hand, while still in embryo. This
influence is already felt among GER
tain classes who refuse to work or
serve the movement until a clear
statement of the freedom and indie
pendence of their country is made
clear.

ABUSINESS PARABLE.
You'll Certainly See the Point After
Reading the Story.


Orce farmer owned I 800 bush
els of wheat, which he sold not to
a single grain merchant, but to l.
500 different dealers a buShel each.
A few of them paid in cash, but far
the greater number said it was not
convenient then; they would pay
later. A few months passed, and
the mans bank account ran low.
How is this" he said. my 1900
bushels of grain should have kept
me in affluence until another crop
is raised, but l have parted with the
grain and have instead only a vast
number Of accounts, so small and
scattered, that I cannot get around
fast enough to pay expenses.
So he posted up public notice
and asked all those who owed him
to pay quickly. But few came.
The rest said. Mine Is only a
small matter, and l will go and pay
one of these days" Forgetting
that though each account is very
small, when all were put together
they meant a large amount to the
man. Things went on thus. The
man got to feeling so badly that he
fell out of bed and awoke, and run
ming to his granary he found his
800 bushels of wheat still there.
He had only been dreaming.
Moral The next day the man
went to the publisher of the paper
and said: Here sir, is the pay foI
your paper, and when next years
subscription is due, you can depend
on me to pay it promptly. / stood
in the position of an editor last
night and l know how it feels to
have ones honestly earned money
scattered all over the country in
small amounts.

OIL NOTES.
THE OIL MARKET.
From Saturdays Daily.

have drilled IN their Leroy fle1-
point No. 3 at the Jug and it bids
fair to make a splendid producer.
The pay was reached last night at a
late hour and telephone message
says it filled 1900 feet with oil. The
gas pressure is Of too small vol
ume to throw the oil above ground
and the we'll will have to be pump
ed. This concludes operations in
that locality, there being no other
drilling wells.
The Hickman Oil company will
resume operations little later as
will the South Penn.
With a decline of $500 barrels
per day in the pipe lines for the
month of July as compared with
those of June, the oil PRODUCERS OF
Pennsylvania and West Virginia
have cause for feeling encouraged.
Aside from the manipulation of the
price by the Standard Oil company
and these manipulators will not
long be content to be idle-there
is nothing in the situation that will
interfere with higher prices. Pro-
duction can not be maintained with
the present nature of operations
and territory. The continual re-
duction in Lima stocks OF from
100000 to 100000 barrels per
month is most encouraging fea-
ture for producers to consider, and
at this season of the year, when
shipments are smaller and the de-
mand less than it must be later on,
the outlook is indeed encouraging
for better prices.
1t is over three years since the
general daily average production OF
Pennsylvania oil has been as low
as it is now or between $4,000 and
900 barrels per day. 1t may be
that the runs for July do not quite
represent the production as there
were FIVE Sundays and one holiday
in the month, together with several
pipe line picnics in different local
ties, which may have lessened the
average runs from wells to a great
extent and which, if true, may be
made up in the production reports
for August. But that there ever
has been a time in midsummer
when production showed such a
great decline and when so much
prospective producing territory
was being condemned, is beyond
question.
With the narrowing of produc-
ing limits comes reports of an as
tonishing number of dry holes and
small wells, and nothing of the
pusher character to offset their eff
feet.
From Sumatra comes the report
that the syndicate of Holland or
Dutch capital, which engaged in
the oil producing and refining bus
mess here met with total failure
and not one barrel of oil has ever
been refined at their large refinery
completed last year, and farther
than this all the wells which they
were requested to have drilled and
could open up at any time, have been
shown to be total failures, capable
of producing no oil of consequence
Wildcatters are becoming thor.
oughly discouraged and disheart'
ened and even those operators who
consider that they have a sure
thing are inclined to push their
operations with less vigor at current
prices than they will with an ad-
vanced price. The unjust and TN
reasonable manipulation of the
price for credit balances by the
Standard Oil company has aroused
the holders OF oil to a pitch of in

Perhaps the territory in this Sec
ton that is attracting the most at
tention from the operators at the
present time is that recently de-
veloped at Elk Run in Washington
county, Ohio, by Cummings & Co.,
when they drilled in their first well
on the Mary Smith farm several
weeks ago. This territory seems
to be the best that has been:opened
up in this section for some time and
the concensus of opinion is that it
will develop into Berea Grit sand
pool. There is considerable work
going on over there at present and
during this week there should be a
couple of important wells due in
the sand.
There are a number of new wells
being started there this week and
some of them are very important.
The Carter Oil company is rigging
up at their No. on the Moore
farm located northwest of the first
wells drilled in and will commence
drilling tomorrow.
Myers & Co. started to spud yes
terday at their No. 4 on the Dye
Brooks. This we'll is located d.
rectly south of the Moore we'll, and
on this farm there has been several
wells drilled on some time ago, all
OF which, though small producers,
are paying wells, and have been so
for several years.
The Carter Oil company was rig.
ging up yesterday at their No. on
the Musser farm, located about a
mile northeast of the wells on the
Smith farm, and will commence
spudding today or tomorrow. This
we'll and their No. On the Moore
farm are about mile apart, and if
either one or both come in good,
they will do great deal toward
showing the size of the pool.
Cox & Cummings have the rig
up for their No. ; on the Mary
Smith farm and will commence to
spud the latter part of the week.
This we'll is located north of their
No. on this farm.
Boyd Bros. have made the loca
ton and will commence building
the rig at once for their No. on
the Hoyt farm, located about mile
northeast of the old production.
The Carter Oil company have
made the location and will build
the rig at once for test we'll on the
Cox farm, located about three miles
ahead Of developments and about
half a mile south Of the we'll they
drilled in some time ago on the Nc
Lean farm near Bloomfield, which
was drilled in some weeks ago and
showed up for a small producer. 1t
is believed the Mclean we'll is on
the extreme northern edge and that
the we'll on the Cox farm will be a
good producer.
Garner & Afford will be due in
the sand at their No. I on the
Snider farm tomorrow. This we'll
is located little to the south OF
Shay & McMullen's No. I on the
Bohlen farm, which is a good pro
Queer, and there IS no doubt but the
Snider we'll will be a good pro-
Queer.
Shay & McMullen will be due in
the sand at their No. ? on the S.
Bohlen lease the latter part of the
week, probably on Saturday. AT
their No. 8 they should be in the
sand Thursday. Both of these wells
are located in close proximity to
their No. and there is no doubt
but they will make good ones.

territory, Cox & Cummings Nos. I

into the pay until yesterday and its
exact production will not be known

Mccormick and Nicely are due

Pittsburg capitalists were in the
city this morning completing the
final arrangements to drill a test

county. That locality has never
been thoroughly tested and they
may be able to locate small pool.
It is all shallow stuff and will prove

A more hopeful feeling exists
among the operators and consider
able field work will be done during
the fall months. The only imped-
iment at the present time is lack OF
desirable territory. This same OBJ
stacle may prevent fall increase in
work, but the wildcatter is resum-
ing business again, and in all prob
ability he will find something be,
fore the winter months. The north.
east extension of Elk Fork is yet
the busiest place outside of the
deep sand stuff and many wells will
be completed in that locality before
the holidays.
