Amount Has Been Subscribed

innate that only about one half of the
amount necessary to build the propos-
ed new pipe line into this field has
been subscribed and the lookout for
the line is not nearly so rosy as 1t was
some time ago. Those who are push
ing the project still have hope that all
OF the stock will be taken.
1t was the intention to sell 5000, 600
worth of stock in this city if possible,
and about $125,000 has been Sold

Germany Follows the Fruit Prohibi-
ton by Shutting Out Plants,
Shrubs, etc.

Berlin, February 3.-The Bundles
ratn (Federal CouciD to-day approved
a decree prohibiting the importation
from America of live plants and
shrubs. American fruits are to be ex-
amined, and packages infected with
the fruit louise will be excluded. This
measure is distinct from the decree
prohibiting the importation of every
kind of American fresh fruit. The
Hamburg authorities to-day permitted
the unloading Of apples from the
United States, owing to instructions
from Berlin, the result of the protests
Of Ambassador White.

Sistersville, w. Va, February 81
During the last week there has been
a number of gentlemen here fran the
upper country looking over the terri
tory with the view of erecting an oil
refinery here. These gentlemen have
looked over the field very carefully,
and this afternoon, in speaking of the
matter, one of them made the remark
that it was altogether likely the REIN
cry would be built.
He said Sistersyille has all the natur-
al advantages for such an enterprise.
not only in having all the oil that
would be necessary, but also in the
matter of shipping facilities. That the
markets of the south could be very
easily reached and it would be in those
markets the oil refined here would be
disposed OF.
