Wait For the Drill.

Expert oil people for years have
all been of one accord in the opinion
that the great oil and gas belt of West
Virginia passes directly through Boone
county, southwark through Logan and
Mingo in this state, and through Ken
lucky and East Tennessee. Test WELLS
drilled in Mingo county, w. Va, and
several counties in East Kentucky
have demonstrated the theory to be a
TACT because both oil and gas have
been found in paying quantities. The
Fidelity Oil Co., of Corning, O., with
principal place of business at Racine,
in Boone county, after a series of vex-
atious delays by the failure of CON
tractor, have perfected arrangements
to complete in a few weeks its first
test well in the Coal river region. Sur
race indications prove beyond all rea-
son of doubt that the Coal river re-
gion is the best undeveloped oil and
gas field in this state,-McDowell (W.

/ PARK PROJECT
Is on the Tspis Ovsr It Martins
Ferry.
PROMINENT CITIZEN INTERESTED
IN THE MATTER, AND IT is Ex-
oEcTED TO MATERIALIZE SOON.
ITS MERITS.

A project which will meet the sp-
prevail of the citizens of Martins Fer
ry in general is being pushed forward
to some extent by Interested parties.
The project is yet in an embroyo state,
but once brought before the public of
that town it may materialize at some
later date not far distant.
The project in view is to have park
in the city, similar to that which all
towns of it's size generally have. 1t
would be great addition to the town,
/, and If pushed forward in an energetic
manner as it should be; and the citi-
the work of pushing it forward it would
not be long until the citizens of the
town would have place where they
could go and spend pleasant evening.
If anything is to be done toward suc4,
project, it should be done now while
there is place in the town suitable
for it. Walnut Grove at the head of
Fourth street is the place in view and
it would without a doubt be an excel
lent site for park.
With some improvements on it in
the way Of shade trees, flower beds, and
few pretty walks it would afford an
excellent spot for such a place. 1t
could be easily reached from every
part of the town as the new street car
line is to run up Fifth street which
borders on the grove, thus giving peo-
pie from the south part of town as we'll
as from the surrounding towns easy ac-
cess to it.
Only one objection to it is the adjoin-
ing cemetery. 1t has gone out of use
long ago and relatives of those buried
there are fast removing them to other
places. This is the only objections. BILE
feature to the project and it is fast be-
ing removed.
The cost of putting the place in pro-
per shape would not be excessive as
the ground is level and for the most
part is covered with an excellent
growth of grass. The only great cost
would be the purchase of the ground
from the Cabell heirs, the owners, and
probably if they were made known
the object of its purchase it could be
secured at a reasonable cost.

A MODEL LAUNDRY
Is the White Swan Conducted by Frank r.
Scroggins.


Scroggins.
Assuming that the average Wheel
ingite subscribes to the sentiment that
cleanliness is akin to Goodness" the
public will be interesed in a descrip-
tion of an establishment which makes
cleanliness possibility. Reference
is made to the White Swan Laundry,
No. 1011 Market street, west side,
which is in every respect a model es-
Enlistment of its kind. The pro-
prietor, Mr. Frank r. Scroggins, aims
to be up-to-date in every respect; that
he succeeds, may be demonstrated by
an inspection of his plant. 1t is
equipped throughout with the latest
improved machinery, making it pos
sibie to turn OFT work which will COM
pare favorably with that of any laun-
dry in the country.
A Register reporter, through the
courtesy of Mr.. Scroggins, was per-
mitted to make a tour of the White
Swan Laundry yesterday. The cozy
little Office was first visited, and the
system of distributing work among
many routes, for half hundred agents
was explained
CINE, twenty-five horse power, which
plicated machinery. On this floor are
also three washers. There are sepa-
rate machines for colored goods, and
collars and cuffs. The appliance for
cleaning lace curtains is entirely new,
and explains the White Swans big
trade in this line There are two dry
rooms, one for family washing, the
other for shirts, collars, cuffs, etc.
Two tanks containing soap of different
strengths is evidence of the care which
is taken to preserve articles which are
washed. Only filtered water is used.
The second floor of the plant is
most interesting, as it contains very
ingenious appliances. Shirts and waists
first enter the starching department
in the rear, and then pass to different
machines for ironing bosoms, neck
bands, Wristbands, sleeves, and bodies,
being finished up by hand. A special
machine is provided for putting sleeves.
The next stage is the repair depart
ment where rents are closed, missing
buttons supplied, etc. Collars and
cuffs are sent through machines for
ironing, for turning points, for smooth
ing edges, etc.
1t is al very interesting and well
repays visit. When the linen
reaches the asserting tables, it
is of immaculate whiteness, and looks
better than when it came originally
from the factory. A visitor to the
White Swan Laundry is particularly
impressed with the care which is taken
at every stage of the washing and
ironing process.

but at the close they seemed to be all

districts, but the hucksters did not

of them. The prices were very rea-
sonable for the quality being all the

sellers. Grapes were plentiful at rea-

not seem to have been left on the vines
long enough to thoroughly ripen. The
prices on other stuffs remained about
the same.
