A Noted Cook.

Formerly appreciative recogni.
ton Of successful effort was abso.
lutely essential to the accomplished
cook. Some cooks were so sensitive
on this point that they could not do
justice to themselves if it was with
held. The late Abraham Hayward
gives an instance of this in Felix, a
noted chef of his time. This artist
was in the employ of Lord Seaford,
who was obliged to dispense with
his services for economical reasons.
Some months afterward distin.
guished connoisseur was dining with
Lord Seaford and before the first
course was half over hedetected the
handiwork of Felix. He maze in
quiry and was informed by his host
that the great chef was again in his
service. He had gone from him to
the Duke of Wellington. After a
brief experience with the latter he
had returned to Lord Seaford and
begged to be taken back at reduced
wages or no wages at all, for he was
determined not to remain at Apsley
House. He confessed that the duke
was the kindest and most liberal Of
masters, but that when he served
him a dinner that would have made
Ude or Francatelli burst with envy
the duke said nothing. When Felix
went ont and left tha duke To eat n

The religious Egyptian believed his
ulterior happiness and his everlasting
union with the divinities in the eter-
nal world to be wholly dependent upon
his preparations beforehand, and with
these the wife had much to do. She
was, in fact, as the mother Of his chill
dren, his savior and liberator, for none
but a son could pray for the fathers
soul on its way to paradise, and she
was entitled to and received his hon.
age and loyal obedience.

1t is a fact, and we can't help it;

Hood farm was leased yesterday by
some of our Sistersville boys. This
lease was cancelled recently by the
Carter Oil company, which had
large holdings in that county at
one time.
That business is picking up
throughout the whole of Washing
ton county was evidenced yester-
day by the number of teams the
Carter Oil company transported to
the ether side.
A. L. Lowrie, of Pittsburg, has
purchased an interest with A. ].
Yoke, in the First property, con-
tanning 1916 acres, in the northeast
extension of the Elk Fork pool.
Drilling in Washington county,
Ohio, is being actively pursued at
the present time near Holman P.
10. Childs & Co. have commenced
their No. on A. J. Watson. Hend-
e1son & Co. are drilling at about
900 feet at their we'll on the Rash
man farm. The United States Oh
company is prepared to start their
we'll on the Noah Cline, and are
making three tests for that section
of the country. Oil men consider
this territory gilt edge and parties
holding leases thereabouts should
be slow in parting with them.
i It is believed there will be pool
of considerable magnitude found in
that section, as there is nothing to
condemn, lying as it does between
the Big Injun and Berea Grit sands.
Captain J. T. Jones, of Buffalo,
is in the city today and will remain
for one week. He is attending to
| his business interests in this Sec
section, ostensibly, but in reality
his time will be mostly consumed
in replying to the salutations of our
itownspeople, who lose no time in
welcoming him whenever he visits
our city.
The No. 2 on the Marshal, which
came in a heavy producer last
week, is not keeping upito its first
production by good deal, but this
decline was anticipated by Captain
Jones. He says that it was only
squirt in this instance, and that the
Keener sand has not the backbone,
or rather the capacity, of prolong-
ing any heavy production.
However, this Marshall district
will be valuable property. for the
reason that J. 7. Jones has full
control of it, with the exception of
a small strip belonging to the Carter
Oil company. With this advantage
the land can be operated without
undue haste and with a saving in
the number OF wells drilled. If the
territory was divided into small
leases it is exceedingly doubtful if
there would ever be a paying pro-
duction. 1t is now generally con-
coded by oil men that the produc-
ton must be in the Big Injun in or
der to have its permanency insured.
The Keener wells on the ]. T.
Jones will doubtless dwindle down
very much from the original show
ing, but will still be capable of a
paying production.

OIL NOTES.
From Fridays Daily.

I1Oh 1AoeAJ y
The Standard Oil company and
its Seep purchasing agencies not
withstanding their statement that
they would "pay prices justified in
the markets of the world" seem to
be indulging in more of their arbi-
tra1y caprices and for the time be-
ing have entirely gone back on
their former published statement.
If they would boldly publish a
statement to read something like
this it would be more consistent
with their actions: ION aud after
November 10th we will pay any
old price for credit balances in our
custody, that the dictates and Ca
prices of the committee may deslg.
nate, regardless of conditions and
we will hereafter endeavor to.regu-
late the law of supply and demand
and the markets of the world" to
meet the margins necessary for US
to continue paying our regular
stock dividends with the usual 3
per extra dividend added. There
is NO fixed price justifable in the
markets of the world. We control
the price aud the markets and
what are you going to do about it,"
For nearly three weeks the price
has remained at $I.I8 in the
Seep Agencies, and the Producers
and Refners have continued to pay,
and are still paying, $1.25 per bar
rel for credit balances in their line.
The export price for refined would
warrant at least $1.35 to SI.3S per
barrel for credit balances, so it may
seen that the Standard Oil Co. are
continuing their old process OF
filching from the producers from
IS to 20 cents per barrel. The mar
kets of the world, controlled almost
wholly by the STANDARD Oil Co. and
its allied foreign combinations of
capital, have become to be recog-
nized by the tardy as the rankest
of forces in this so called influence
on the price paid for crude oil. The
trade recognized there is nothing
Justified" unless the Standard Oil
company see fit to make it so. The
only Justice" the trade expects to
emanate from the Standard is at
times when it best suits their inter
ests and purposes. Fitch, flch, rob
and ruin seems to be the motto and
purpose of the Standard Oil com
pany.
Producers who realize the very
favorable conditions for an advance
in prices are not Influenced by ca
prices of a band of commercial pi-
rates. In the end the law of supply
and demand will assert itself. Prices
must goihigher. Pipe line reports
for October will show a very large
decrease in stocks.
Conditions of the fields continu-
ally grow more favorably for higher
prices and the markets are growing
broader as the supply decreases.
Hold your oil.

ken up there. The balance of the

ducing daily 8 to S car loads OF mat
or rooster copper. valued at $4,000
per car. This firms pay roll
amounts to $40, 900 per month. The
other plant, owned by Pittsburg
capitalists, Mr.. Ferguson, superin-
teudent, produces from I to 8 cars
of mat daily, and has ray roll OF
abont $I2, 900 a month. These two
concerns consume in roasting the
copper, sixty cords of wood daily.
Twenty miles southeast is Muir
ply, N. c., county seat OF Chero'
kee county. population 500. Here
its first bank was recently establish
ed, and from this place the Isabel
Copper Co. ship daily II cars OF
Red Hematite iron ore, OF which
there is an abundance in these
mountains. Six to eight miles east
of Murphy are located two gold
mines recently opened, one at an
expense for fumes of $4,000. In
the same vicinity Pope Bros, OF
Parkersburg, own a valuable tract
of property, which they are about
to sell or have sold, at handsome
profit. Other operators are mining,
grinding and boiling the tale for
face powders, glazing paper, etc.
All along Valley river, from its
mouth, at Murphy, twenty miles to
its head waters, at Red Marble Gap,
fine marble exists.
South of Murphy, S TO ] miles,
on the A. K. and N. Ry., are two
tale proprietors, belonging to Kinzie
Bros. of Cincinnati, O., who also
operate two marble quarries, and
receive the highest prices for their
products.
Returning to Apalachia, Chero'
kee county, n c., most interesting
to me was its religious asset. AL
though since June lumbering G, saw
ing, building have been going on,
many men, oxen and mules being
employed, yet Capt. Ross, manager
of the store, told me that he haG
not heard an oath in the building.
An officer of the company said that
on the yard he had heard but one
or two oaths dnring these months.
Before Mrs. Williamson started
from Parkersburg, she had planned
for Sunday school, and for four
months or more held it on the
porch of the log house, part OF
which she occupied. Now she
holds it in her dining room. but
Immediately temporary building
is to be erected for use uutil the
church can built. 1t is refreshing
to find a corporation in this wild
region, whose officers heartily pro-
mote christianity and whose in
huence has been so salutary and it
is particularly gratifying that these
men as we'll as the women who
carries on the Sunday school, are
from our beloved Mountain State
West Virginia.
At the close of my service Sunday
evening I was requested to organize
a Christian Endeavor Society,
which I did, with the following
officers: w. B. Gilmore, president;
C.P. Ross, vice-president; c. c.
King, Secretary; Miss Jennie Will
hanson, treasurer; Miss Carrie
Devers, corresponding secretary.
As they have IN organ, over which
Miss Jennie Williamson skillfully
presides, and a number of we'll
trained voices, their Il; Isle will be
exceptionally good and we trust all
their other exercises will cores
pond and splendid work be done in
Sunday school and Christian En-
deavor by the West Virginia COL
