WEEKLY OIL REVIEW.
The Falling Off in New Production
The Drop on Whisky Run.

Pittsburg, June 26.-The advance of
the credit balance market from sc to
| SO cents during the. past week was ex-
| tremely gratifying to oil operators
The appreciation in value was not in
the nature of surprise to those who
keep in touch with field developments
1t has been apparent for some time
that new pools were not greeting the
searcher in the lower southwest, and
each month has witnessed the nearer
defnement of the oil fields.
The present month has recorded
but few gushers, and should at the f.
mai summing up show marked fall
Ing on in new production as COM
pared with last month. The deep
sand territory has been in the past
source from which considerable vol
ume of new production has come each
month with good deal of regularity.
1t will contribute less in June than for
any previous month during the year.
Wood and Ritchie counties will
show falling off in production. The
Hendershot pool in Wood county is
now the most active development in
the lower southwest and the complet-
ed wells show the best average pro-
duction. Whiskey Run, in Ritchie
county, has given less than 25O barrels
and completed six wells. Last month
the same pool furnished more than
1000 barrels of new production and
completed eight wells. By the COM
parison above it will be seen that
Run is no longer in the race.
A new we'll on the Sanford Bum
gardner farm was drilled in last week.
and while its calibre is still in doubt.
i is known that it will make a good
producer. The location of the well is
half mile south and west of develop
nents, which assures a little more
new work in that direction. There
are but fiv wells drilling in the pool at
his time, and one of these, located on
he Hudkins estate, is showing for a
1uster
In the sait sand district, in the same
county, operations have been active. |
but the average size Of the wells is |
small and not few total failures.
Marion and Wetzel counties show
the greatest ACTIVITY in the deep sand |
territory. Less than 1000 bbls. of new
production will come from the two |
counties during the month of June.
The deep sand territory in Tyler will |
help swell the aggregate a little.
Greene county has done nothing to |
help out. the vicinity of Bristoria
there is some new work under yay
that will b heard from next month
In the past it has been hit and miss in

day from the hundred-foot. 1t will
probably be the incentive for starting
some new work.

DEATH OF WILLIAM H. CRAW-
FORD.

William H. Crawford, who was born
in the then village Of Harmar sixty
eight years ago and whose life has
been spent in this city, died on June
| 19 at Duluth, Mimi, and was buried
there the following day, the inter-
ment being at Forest Hill cemetery.
Since removing from Marietta some
four years ago the family home has
been at Toledo. Two months ago Mr..
Crawford was taken i'll and symptoms
of softening of the brain developed.
The lake trip to Duluth was taken in
the hope that it might prove of bene-
fit, but the progress of the malady
was rapid and in week after the ar
rival at Duluth there was a fatal ter
mination.
The funeral services were held from
the residence of A. B. Chaplin, the
houses of H. C. Crawford and J.H.
Crawford, the sons living at Duluth,
being closed for the summer while
the families are at Park Point
Surviving Mr.. Crawford are his
wife, who was Cornelia Earl Chaplin.
daughter of Hon. Harlow Chaplin, and
six children, Mrs. S. Chapman, whose
home is in Chicago, but who is now in
Duluth; Misses Edith and Cornelia
Crawford, who have been in Toledo,
but who are now also in Duluth; H.
c. Crawford, ]. H. Crawford and Earl
crawford, VINO graduated from Mari
eta College in the class of 80 and
whose home is in st. Paul. All of the
family were in Duluth atthe time of
MIR. Crawford's death.
There are few Of the older residents |
of Marietta who will not remember
Mr.. Crawford and feel regret at his
passing. --e was son Of John Craw-
ford, who while not one of the pio-
neers of Harmar, was identified with
its early history and during his life
in its affairs. He was one
OF the first trustes of Marietta College
and contributor to its original fund.
H. Crawford was the last sur
viving member of the family and like
his father was man of sterling char
acter, as kindly and true as he was
honest, upright and earnest.

John w. Gerken was born at Klein
April l, 1850. His mother died and
Sittesen, near Hanover, Germany,
he emigrated to this country with his
father in January, 1858, at the age of
two years. In the summer of 1873 he
went to work for the Marietta Chair
Company in the cabinet department,
which position he filled with credit to
himself and the company until 1889,
when he went into the grocery busi-
ness on the West Side The fall of
1892 found him again at the Chair
Company, where he remained one
year, when he went to the Lawrence
Piano Company. He worked there
until the spring of 1895. when he re-
turned to the factory where he worked
till his sad death last Saturday, he
having worked up till noon of that
day.
Mr.. Gerken leaves wife (the daugh-
ter OF Geo. Strecker) and two children
He was valued member of the Ma
r1eta Reed Band, being one of its old
est members. He has also been a
member of the Royal Arcanum for a
number of years.
Mr.. Gerken was quiet, industrious
man, a lover of his bright home life.
a loving husband and a kind father.
1t can truthfuly be said that THE
world is better for his having lived in
it,"

SUCCESS OF THE POPULAR LOAN

SUCCESS OF THE POPULAR LOAN.
1t is said that the subscription of
$500 and less for the war bonds now
aggregate something like one hundred
and sixty millions of dollars. 1t ap-
pears to be clear that the entire loan
of two hundred millions will be sub
cribed by the people.
Already the success of the popular
loan has been demonstrated. 1t has
been proved that the people are will
ing to furnish the money to conduct
the war, even at the low rate of per
cent interest. The bond issue has
been good thing in that respect, and
that is probably one of the reasons why
the Democrats in Congress opposed it..
They were afraid the popular loan
would be a success, and that a stop
would be put to the yelling of dema
gogues against the bondholders.
When it is remembered that the
last Dmocratic administration gave a
syndicate of New York and London
bankers something like ten millions
of dollars for disposing of the Cleve-
land peace bonds that were put on the
market at and 5 per cent-despite
the frequent requests that popular
subscription be called for-the success
of this administration efforts to
place the war bonds in the hands of
the small subscribers is as gratifying
as it is urprising.-Clevelan Leader
