phenomenal flow of gas was struck in
the Cannon well, mile this side of
Harrisville, Tuesday evening. There
is said to be little show for oil but
the gass1pressure and volume is en-
ormous.
c. W. Swisher, a well known oil
operator and very pleasant gentle
man, asked the council for a gas fran
chse on Monday evening. There were
some provisions in the ordinance to
which the council were unanimously
opposed, but it is supposed that CON
ference with Mr.. Swisher, who will be
here in a day or two, and the special
committee to which the matter was
referred, will result in an agreement
Mr. Swisher has leased 400 acres of
land near the famous Cooper well and
if he can get the consent of council a
well will be drilled at once.

OIL NEWS.

Sfrt cial to the Register.
Sistersville, w. Va, May ia
telephone message was received this
afternoon from Elk Fork to the effect
that the South Penn Oil Company had
drilled it's No 2 on the Israel Folger
deeper in the sand and had struck a
second pay which made the well look
as though it would be good for not
less than 100 barrels day.
This we'll is located to the south of
developments in the southwest extern
sion of the Elk Fork pool and if it
turns out to be as good as reported
will make things pretty lively in that
section. There is quite lot of unde-
veloped territory in that section and
a large amount of new work will be
started at once.
The latest report received from the
well was to the effect that the gas
pressure was not very heavy but was
enough to make the well flow stead
lily, and the gauge given OF lU0 par
rels a day is based on the first pro-
duction Of the well.
The we'll drilled in on the Duval
farm to the northeast of the old Elk
Fork pool. which was reported good
for only 20 barrels a day when first
drilled in, has been increasing its pro-
duction and to-day a message was re-
ceived stating that it was making
about so barrels day and increasing
steadily. If this is the case, it will
give the northern part of the pool
new lease of life and the indications
for the Elk Fork pool this summer IS
better than was expected.

Mr.. N. s. Walpole, of Colorado, has
been confirmed agent Of the Pueblo and
Jicarilla agency in this city. There was
some opposition to his confirmation on
the ground that he was a nonresident
of the territory, but he had a respect
able majority for confirmation, never
theless. The opposition came mostly
from Democratic sources, 1t Is under
stood. 1t may be presumed that by the
last Of June he will take charge of the
duties of the Office, relieving Captain c.
l.. Cooper, 10th cavalry, who has for
several months filed the duties Of agent

Effect Of War Upon Business.

The United States is a great country
in more ways than one. In the extent
of territory, in population, in wealth and
in business interests there is an abund-
ance of resources that, when reduced to
figures, almost staggers the mind with
its magnitude. This has been de-
monstrated in the past month by the
effect the present war has had upon the
actual business transactions of the coun-
try. For some two or three weeks after
the war became an actuality, business
lapguished; dealers and brokers were
afraid to make ventures in commodities
for fear that the expenses of an army in
the field would tie up all the ready
money in the financial centers and the
rural districts would be left to take car
Of themselves the best they could. That
feeling soon gave way to one that the
conflict could not last long because of
the unequal strength of the countries
engaged, and at the present time there
is a disposition on the part of capital to
regard the war as an incident which is
of but slight Importance when business
interests are involved.
There is no good reason why the war
should seriously affect the course of
business. The of the country
are so enormous, its population and
business interests so great, that, in a
purely material sense the wa is a small
affair in comparison. One hundred
thousand men constitute a small army
for a nation of over 70, 1000, 900 to main
tain. The men in the ranks will con-
stitute less than a half of / per cent of
the working force of the nation. The
expenditure of $500, 600. 900 a year for
war purposes is insignificant for a peo-
pie whose business amounts to over
500, 900, OOO, 900 annually, and whose
bank deposits amount to 6 1000, 600, 900.
These figures are almost enough to place
the brand of increditability upon them,
but they are the returns OF n of the
most reliable commercial agencies in the
country and have been compiled with
the greatest care and accuracy. There
is no danger of the nation becoming
bankrupt should the war last for years,
and the business men of the country are
coming to realize that fact. The result
Of that realization is to open the purse
Of capitalists, and legitimate
business enterprises are feeling the eff
fects Of the rebound from the scare
Hrst experienced.

The United States Is so fortunately
situated that every port could be closed
to foreign products by blockading fleets,
and no very great Inconvenience would
result to the people. The food supplies
would not be affected, and starvation,
which is so easily brought about in most
of the other countries in the world, is
an impossibility. The good sense of the
people is reasserting itself and business
is resuming its formal condition in all
parts of the land.
