But Hanna went even further than
this in support of trusts. In some OF
his utterances on the subject he prac-
tically set up the claim that the trusts
and the trusts alone were responsible
for the country's present so-called pros
perity!
To intelligent men this may look as
if Hanna's mighty personal labors in
the late campaign had come near to
upsetting his mental balance. Such,
however, was the tendency of the
Hanna argument defending the trusts
and citing the present activity in the
industrial world as the fruit of trust
control thereof.
If the throttling of individual enter
prise and the crushing out of healthy
competition in trade is conducive to
prosperity, then Hanna is right.
If the requirement of manufacturing
plants in order to close down certain
percentage of them with view to linn
iting production and thus artlflcially
maintaining high price level, with
the resulting deprivation to thousands
of workingmen Of the means OF llvell-
hood is factor in promoting prosper
ity, then Hanna is right.
If it is good for monopoly thus ac-
quired to wiring enormous unearned for
tunes from the consumer-the people,
labor-curtailing the opportunity for
the employment of labor and stamping
out the independence of American citi-
zenship by crushing small but 1nde-
pendent enterprises, throwing thous-
ands upon thousands Of skilled and I'M
skilled workingmen and women on an
already overcrowded labor market,
thus bearing" the rate OF wages,
though at every turn raising the cost
of living, If these circumstances go to
make up prosperous condition OF the
people and the industries of the coun-
try, then we must admit that Hanna is
right, that the trusts are good thing
and responsible for present prosperity,
such as it is.
But If these things are not true, as
all know they are not, If the sitting
hand of monopoly, which brushes labor
on one hand and the consumer on the
other, is not conducive to healthy
condition of either legitimate industry,
trade, or the people, as every sane man
in the world knows 1t is not, then
Mark Hanna has uttered most stu
pendous and unmitigated falsehood in
crediting to the trusts the present in
dustrial prosperity or activity, which,
really, they have done SO much to re-
tard and curtail.
AS the parent at all stages defends
his own, however, so Mark Hanna, the
man OF trusts and their chief political
representative and sponsor, cannot re-
frain from defending his own at every
opportunity.
From this on, now that Hanna has
broken the ice with apparently so little
danger from popular disapproval, we
may expect a considerable change in
the attitude of administration leaders,
who hitherto have strenuously denied
their relationship to the trusts TAX
ing the cue from Boss Hanna, here
after they will not be SO timid on this
score. Indeed, the revulsion may be
so great we may be treated to the fra
ternizing Of trusts and Republican
leaders in the open as they have here
tofore in secret This amalgamation
will be helped along by the well known
penchant of g. O. p. leaders for getting
next" to Doodle.

OIL NJ WS.
OIL LEASES RECORDED.

Yesterday the firm of ]. c. Devine q
Co. placed on record at the office of
the County Clerk twenty-four oil leases
by land owners in Ohio and Brooke
counties to the Brooke Oil & Gas Conn
pany, the documents covering over q
600 acres. The company is composed
of we'll known local people.
1t is understood that the Short Creek
Oil & Gas Company, of this city, whose
plans and theories were outlined in the
Register several weeks ago, will soon
make location and start building rig
in this county. Mr.. J. G. Devine, who
has been prime factor in the organiza-
ton of the company, is confident that
Ohio county is underlaid with oil and
that it will be found in paying guam
titles if a hole is put down at the
proper place. With this idea in mind,
the company proposes to test a section
of territory which has not been pro-
nounced worthless by any Of the busters
which have rewarded the efforts OF
SPECTATORS heretofore. 1t is also UNI
derstood that the leasing of territory
by the Standard in Marshall county, ex-
tends over the Ohio county line and
embraces sections of farms in the south
west portion of Ohio county.

Specldt TO the NeSlSler.
WESTON, W. Va, November T.
Considerable gas was struck at the Har-
rison well at an early hour this morn
ing. 1t gives out strong spray Of oil.
The GAM sand was tapped at 1850 feet.
Drilling was stopped, the fire put out.
and the boiler moved back. five
hundred-barr tank is being erected.
This work will be completed tonight
when the tools will be again put into
the hole to drill it in. The Edwards
No. l is down five hundred feet. Spud-
ding on the Jarvis No. l and the Ed
wards No. 2 began to-day. The South
Penn people now have six strings of
tools going in the Fink's creek field,
and three derricks in course of erec-
ton. A prominent oil man told the
Register representative tonight the gas
at the Harrison we'll was oily and
reached the top beam of the derrick.
His opinion is that the Harrison well
will be a gusher. The Arnold well is
down 2,100 feet They go three hum
Gantz sand. The hole at the Camden
is full of fluid, but there is no gas pres
sure to throw out oil. 1t is now being
drilled deeper into the pay.
The Arnold and Harrison wells are
drilling away towards the last sands.
If the lower sands are found barren the
hole will be filed to the Injun and shot
in that sand. 1t is thought this will
make her a pumper Of, probably, from
five to ten barrels. The starting again
of the drill in the Camden we'll yester-
day morning caused quite a number of
our local oil people to make run to
the well. Sprigg Camden, the owner
of the land, and Mr.. Rich, the owner
Of the well, were both here yesterday
and when approached each gave that
mystic answer barren of information
that has been so characteristic ever
since this we'll came in. Mr.. Rich
did acknowledge. however, to the Reg
lister tonight that "he heard they were
drilling again" II, is the theory of
the oil men not connected with the
Camden well that it is the aim of the
owners to drill it clear into or past the
pay in the Injun and then shoot it,
which will probably be done in the next
two days. Just why this well is kent
a mystery is beyond the conception Of
local talent, as well as the new corners
who have pitched their tents among
us for. as they reason, every inch of
ground any way in a radius of endless
miles has been taken up upon any
where from ten-cent lease to a hand
some bonus.

SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA.
Has an Immediate and Promising
 Future.

Intense interest is manifested in the free mining gold propositions of south eastern Alaska. Miners who have work ed there duringthe past season return with the most encouraging accounts of rich finds. X most encouraging and re- liable report is furnished by R. C. Iempleman. who has just returned from Il prospecting tour of the ketrhikan district.
 It will be remembered that Mr. Tenn pleman was principal assistant to the celebrated gcologist. Bailey Wills. now of the United States Geological Survey. Mr. Templeman's knowledge of the to- pograhy of the Alaskan shores is of the highest order. Prior to starting east. :. Mr. Terapleman said to d reporter:
 'Southeastern Alaska has an imme- diate and promising future. and before long will be recognized as the Mecca of all legitimate miners. who will othere to remain and develope their proper ties. There are innumerabe low grade propositions. with an occasional high grade valuc. and all of these when de- Feloped must necessarily grow into big. legitimate mining enterprises. IL all means the expenditure of capital and work for an unlimited number of mrn in course of time. There is nothing of the wildcat nature about anything in that country, for the reason that the propositions are all quartz, there being no placer diggings anywhere around there. All ore tests that have been made up to date have so far proven very satisfactory, leaving no doubt as 10 results, while some of them are of such value as to insure fortunes to the owners. The amount of provisions, freight and machinery that will be re- quircd in there will insure d big bu,i- ness for next year.
