WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-Although the

belief that Secretary Cages letter in

views OF the president and it is alto
gether probable that. in the absence of
congressional action OF the subject, he

Operators in the Cow Run sand de-
velopment below Williamstown, Wood
county, have the laugh on Farmer Uhl.
Early in the excitement in that hit or
miss pool, he leased his farm in small
lots to various parties and received a
big bonus. He reserved one small lot
in tie center of the farm 1t was sur
rouided by producing wells, and he
concluded that If oil had been found
on all sides sof the lot reserved, it
would be,a sure thing for well on the
reservation and at his own expense
drilled we'll and got the rankest kind
of a duster. One of the producing
wells is located within go feet of his
and found 30 feet of sand, while his
venture got neither sand or oil. An
other instance is related of company
that leased 36 acres, paying therefore
a bonus of $1U0 an acre and agreeing
to give the land owner quarter roy
atty. The first we'll drilled was
duster and the second well is now due.
News.
Clark G. Speary's No. on the T. w.
Moore farm is probably one of the
most wonderful wells ever drilled
hereabouts. they began to drill the
we'll on Tuesday of last week and on
Sunday she was flowing, and at the
stiff rate of 500 barrels per day. 1t is
doing now between 300 and 400 barrels
every "a hours. The we'll is but $40
feet deep. Two other wells are being
put down very close.
The Schimmel Oil Co. located a well
on the Schimmel farm at Macksburg
Wednesday.
An attempt was made to drill in the
Lucky Tom well on the Moore farm
Wednesday, but the lead lines were
not sufficient and ,ne work was de-
layed. ~
On an extension of the Jackson
Ridge field, near Woodsfeld, there has
been a good wildcat we'll drilled and
consequently territory is in good de-
mand.

THE BROWNIES.
An Attractive, Pleasing Entertainment
enjoyed by big Audience last
night, repeated to-day.

If the sufferers at Grace Hospital
could have seen the Brownies, $50
of Toronto's brightest boys and girls,
gamboling on the stage at Massey
Hall, in the quaint costumes of
elves and the gauzy dresses Of the
fairies, it would have made their
sufferings easier to bear. Everybody
was there, because everybody's chill
dren, or the children of somebody's
best friend, was brownie or fairy.
And then, the object was worthy
one.
The big stage is not easily trans
formed into fairyland, but as all the
interest was centered in the little
elves themselves, any scenic defects
passed unnoticed. But there was
no fault to be found with the little
people themselves From the time
the fairies first appeared, and solicit
