people realize this, and they realize
novel situations with remarkable
promptitude, they will not do things
by halves. They will not cripple
their future action in the Far East
by permitting the establishment Of
a Power or Powers having antagou-
istc interests in a strong position
which their own efforts have given
them the best claim to hold. What
may be the ultimate fate OF the
Philippines depends upon events,
but il the Continental Powers think
of interfering they had better de-
termine to play very straight.

advantage for themselves under the

A BOY BADLY BURNED


This morning Singer Kimball,
the fourteen-year old boy of W. H.
Kimball. who lives three miles out
of the city in a northerly direction,
used refined petroleum in starting
the kitchen FIRE, and the indiscre-
ton resulted in his being seriously
if not fatally burned.
The flames cruelty burned his
face, arms and legs before his
father could succeed in divesting
the boy OF his clothing, which was
one mass of fire. Mr.. Kimball was
also quite severely burned during
the operation.

OIL NOTES.
THE OIL MARKET.
From Saturdays Daily


From Saturdays Daily
It was about six months ago that
the Oil City Derrick, in comment
ing on the Pipe Line report, made
the statement that there were stocks
enough on hand to last FIVE years
at the rate of consumption. The
same paper, In its comments on the
report of last month, says that there
are now stocks enough to last two
and a half years at the present rate
of consumption. If the ratio of de.
crease is so great in six months as
to lead the Derrick to reduce the
period ior the exhaustion OF. stocks
from FIVE years to two and half
years, what will the poor Derrick
do in another six months provided
there are no better pools
discovered. The poor old
thing will be worse off than moth
ing. Consistency, thou art a jewel"
but there is no consistency in the
prices paid by the Standard Oil
company for credit balances. Des-
perate conditions require desperate
remedies. The Standard are en-
deavoring to supply the remedies
by rushing the drill in all improba-
bic and seemingly impossible local
tiles. Why don't the Standard pay
a decent price and let some better
oil operators than they furnish the
needed remedies. Dividends must
be paid and oil and new production
is required to furnish the wherewith
to pay them. Nearly 1000 barrels
per day decreasein runs from wells
in the Pennsylvania fields, under
most favorable conditions for carry
ing on drilling operations, does not
indicate that there will be an in
crease in production during the
winter months.
Cox & Co.'S No. I on the Rice
farm, southeast of the northeast ex-
tension of the Elk Fork pool, was
due in the sand yesterday, but had
to be shut down on account of the
non-arrival of the casing head and
connections. This lack of material
was to have been supplied this
morning, and it is probable that the
we'll is now in. Before stopping
operations the sand was lightly
tapped, with a resultant showing of
some gas and oil.
There was a great surprise
sprung on the Henry OIL Co. S
lease on the Lloyd Gorrell yester
day afternoon.
This company's No. S was drilled
in several days since and to hard
streak struck in the sand was &C.
credited the very poor showing
which the we'll made. Those in
clined to pessimistic views were
confirmed in the belief that it would
be virtually dry hole, while the
optimistic ones could not believe
this possible with the hole SO near
Nos. 1, 2, 3 and a, all good produc
ers. During the intervening time
the fluid had risen nearly I 800 feet
in the tubing, but none of this had
been forced into the tank. Yes
terday afternoon the tools were
stirred about and the we'll agitated
with good swabbing. This did the
business right from the word 60,
and in fifteen minutes the oil had
filled twenty-five inches in the tank,
equal to SIS barrels, and was still
flowing a steady stream from the
6A-inch casing at the latest infor-
nation received last evening. The
gas pressure is very strong, and
this showing of yester day makes it
reasonably certain that the well
will be a fine producer after it set
ties down from the first abnormal
