sCIo DEVELOPMENTS.

While there is no prospect for en-
larging the producing area of the Sclo
field there is still large amount of
new work starting on the outer edges,
where the most that can be hoped for is
small producers. There is also little
interior territory that has not been op-
Grated owing to legal entanglements
in the way of restraining orders grow
ing out of injunction proceedings en-
tered against those in possession of
leases by other claimants. Three
leases have been tied up in this way,
but this week the cases were heard in
tn Circuit Court at CaLlz and the de-
cisiOn as to rightful ownership will be
announced next week. If the finding
of the court is accepted as final, the
work Of developing the leases will be
pushed forward.
South and little west of the South
ern limits of the field Ryder, Thomp-
son & Co. have dried in and shot
their well on the Wolfe 2S acres. The
outlook for producer is not very fiat
tering No effort as yet has been made
to clean it out and put it to pumping.
West of and adjoining the Wolfe farm
Jennings G Co. win drill in an import
ant tes. well on the Crawford heirs
farm next week. This well is not ex-
pected to fall within the producing
lines to any great degree. Not better
than Is barrel pumper would be a
safe bet.
-Four miles southeast of Scio and one
mile east of Hanover Forsyth & Co.
will be due in the sand at their test
well on the G. ID. Lewton farm next
week. To the southeast and southwest
of this well are ohe busters on the
Henredson, McPeck and Anderson
farms, and 1t would be quite remark
able if the Lewton should not meet
with the same fate.

A Practical Road Law.

A new law, passed by the last Leg
islature, makes it possible to employ
the prisoners in our county jails al
road-making. This is a very sensible
measure, and accomplishes double
purpose. 1t provides prisoners with
employment, their labor is of benefit
to the entire community and better
roads will be the natural result. The
most rabid labor reformer can find
nothing Objectionable to the law.
Prisoners employed at building roads
for the benefit of the county do not
compete with any other labor, can not
place any manufactured products and
consequently will not displace many
laborers engaged in remuneratiye en-
ployment.
For the purpose Of enforcing the
law a prison board is to be established
consisting of the judge, sLeriff and
county commissioners, which is to be
clothed with full authority to compel
prisorens to labor on the highways
eight hours each week day. Prefer
ence is to be given to the roads leading
to the county seat, and when five miles
have been completed on one road,
work is to be undertaken on another
until every road is thus improved.
The moneys obtained from the prison
ers' labors is to go to the maintenance
of the Jail
If the authorities of the various
counties proceed to enforce this law
with proper vigor good roads will soon
become something more substantial
than theory. Systematic organized
labor on our public highways must tell
in time. We have spent enough mon
ey on our public highways to provide
the Commonwealth with as good roads
as can be found anywhere. Unfortu-
nately 1t has often been expended un-
wisely. The fau.L is not so much in
the law as in the road supervisors and
the labor they employ. Venango
county is already acquainted with the
good results from the careful work OF
good road supervisors ana the botches
made by careless and Indifferent ones.
Too many men have been allowed to
work out their "road taxes" and too
little attention to seeing that they per-
formed good work AS a consequence
raOds have been patched up in almost
any fashion and nothing at all accom-
pIished in the way of permanent i'm
provements.
The experiment of enforcing the
new law should be given an earnest
trial in every county of the state, The
employment of prison labor under in
telligent supervision and competent
Overseers will certainly produce won
ders in the way OF transforming our
public highways into solid roadbeds, |
good at any and all seasons of the year
There may be counties where the num-
Der Of prisinors at certain times of the
year is very small, and which will not
be able ia reap any great advantages |
from the new law, but such counties |
are the exception, not the rule-Der-
rick.

The few remedies which have attained to

OF the most successful examples is the
Syrup Of Figs manufactured by the Cali

Figs is permanently beneficial in its effects,
and therefore lives and promotes good
health, while infepior preparations are be-
ing cast aside and forgotten. In olaen
