OIL OPERATIONS

Special to the Register. a
PARKERSBURG w. Va, bily 20
The price OF oil jumped up ten cents a
barrel to-day, making an increase in
the price Of twenty cents in the last
four days. The producers are joyous
over the increase, and it means mech
for this territory in the way OF siimu-
lating production and drilling.
BY actual measurement the new Steel
smith we'll in Writ county, which Is
good for 600 barrels of oil day. or
upward, is 202 feet deep. This strike
has encouraged drilling in that county
q great deal, and there will be great
deal of drilling near the well III the
next few weeks. Mallory Bros. are get
ting timbers ready for rig on the John
son lease adjoining the new well, and
are preparing to drill several wells, bat
Friend < Co. are claimants TO the same
lease and are also preparing to drill
there Il will likely cause litigation.
Amos Steelsmith has made three ioca-
tons on the same lease his <gushsT is
on. and will begin work on them i'm
mediately.
The Paova Oil Company has a well
due in the Gordon sand and it is being
watched with considerable interest.
A good many wells are being drilled
on Yellow creek. near the Metz well,
and several of them are due in within
a week They should define the new

OF Huntington. Said to he Senator
Eikins' Choice for the New Fed
erai Jud&eship.
Special "a the Register.
WARRINGTON, D. c., January 10
The opponents of the bill seeking to
divide West Virginia into two federal
dOned their fight. They realize that
with the combined efforts of Senators
Elkins and Scott, REINFORCED by
solid front from Congressman Doven-
er, Freer, Dayton and Johnston. it
would be fruitless to continue antag-
onistic tactics The only thing now
sought is to have a say in naming the
man who is to receive the appointment
as judge of the new district to be
Created-and to that end the oppon-
ents of the measure propose to have
a big say. The only aspirants now
being considered by those who have
the naming of the new judgeship are
Taylor Vincent, of Huntington; NAL
colin Jackson, of Kanawha, and Judge
Hale, of Mercer, with the chorus high
ly in favor of Taylor Vincent 1t will
be noted that all three of these dis
tinguished gentlemen were, up to 1896.
dyed in the wool Democrats" and
that they went over to the Republican
party because of the free silver plank
in the Chicago platform. Up to the
year 1885 there was no more ardent
supporter of bi-metallism than Sena-
tor Elkins, and since he entertains a
very high regard for those, who like

gold standard. 1t is a matter of po-
litical record that Mr. Vincent was by
some means, induced to champion the
cause Of the gold standard. and only
few days after this change of heart by
Mr.. Vincent. Mr.. ElkinS was heard to
say that when an opportunity offered
itself, he, Mr.. Vincent should be
properly rewarded. 1t is learned that
our own Governor, the Hon. George
Wesley Atkinson, aspires to this high
and exalted position, but it is claim
ed by the powers that be that he does
not possess sufficient legal ability along
this line, but the whole truth of the
matter is. Senators Elkins and Scott
well know that no matter how many
times George Wesley is ignored and
turned down. he will continue to
stump the State" in advocacy of the
Republican party, and that all they
have to do IS perpetually hold out
some inducement that there is some
thing great in the future for him.
There is no denying the fact that he
has been promised this judgeship, but
political promises, like pie crust, are
easily broken.
In conclusion. it is safe to predict
that Taylor Vincent, of Huntington,
will be the judge of the new federal
district to be created within a few
days.
From all that can be gathered. he is
Mr.. Elkins' choice. and if l were seek
ing federal appointment under the
present administration. | would rather
have the influence of the senior Sena-
tor of West Virginia, than that of Tom

A Gang OF Negro Workmen From
West Virginia Not Needed Since
Election-Had Smallpox.
Special 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, January 10.-Sur-
geon Long, of the Marine Hospital SER
vice, has made a report on his inspec-
ton of a gang of negro workmen who
came through Washington en- route
from Clarksburg, W. Va, to the south
There were between fifty and sixty in
the party and they had recently been
employed on a new tunnel twenty-five
miles from Clarksburg, evidently being
ante-election importations. In Septem-
Der a disease broke out among these
men which was variously designated
as Cuban itch" niger ITCH or black
measles, and the symptoms of which
resembeled smallpox. The camp was
quarantined and the disease did not
spread, nor we're there any deaths
Work on the tunnel being suspended
after election the men left by way of
Clarksburg, where they were disinfect-
ed, for this city. The examination here
showed that many of them had had
smallpox, their faces being pitted. The
cars the men came in were disinfected
ana the men allowed to proceeu south.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

We observe according to the verac-
ious Charleston correspondent Of the
Intelligencer, that Gov. Atkinson has
worked himself into a state of mind
over the publication of his message in
the Register before its transmission to
the Legislature. We are told:
It's an outrage; an infamous outrage"
said the Governor. The message was
given out to the newspaper representa-
tives in advance under a personal prom
Use that nothing in it would be, used UNI
til after its transmission
The Register, in handling the Gov
ernor's message, knew of no such UNI
derstanding as the Governor says ex
listed. We received from Hon. E. l..
ecutive copy of the message, with
no accompanying restriction as to its
the message held for release upon
any particular day it certainly was the
duty of Mr.. Boggs to indicate the
wishes of the Governor. But when he
kindly forwarded a document, written
and intended for publication, without
even hint as to the day or date for
release, it became available for use
Immediately upon receipt. The Regis
ter took this view of it, and made
such extracts as the in 2ortance of the
document appeared to call for. Mr.
Boggs anticipated the newspaper men,
having first access to the message, and
his official transmission was printed
in part upon receipt. Under the Cir
cumstances there was no possible
breach of faith or violation of news
paper ethics. The Governor, possibly,
might with propliety reprimand his
secretary, but he certainly has no
cause to find fault with newspaper
for printing news coming to it Of
ficially and without reserve.
AS to the wall of the Intelligencer,
that VIGOROUSLY unenterprising publ
cation is no worse off than usual. 1t
is generally at least one day behind
the Register in the publication of the
news.

CLEAN UP OR RESIGN.

1t would be eminently proper for the
Board of Public Works to resign. if it
is incapable of cleaning the streets. as
it seems to be, and allow live men to
take hold who will do their duty.
The condition of the streets in this
damp, drilling weather is simply
abominable. So long have they been
in this horrible state that no wonder
visitors are asking if we never clean
the streets.
If there was any excuse whatever for
this neglect the matter might be view
ed with equanimity, but when appli-
ances and men, including the whole
idle fire department, are at hand, ready
and willing and only awaiting the
word to go to work and in two or
three hours at most wash the streets
of the entire city as clean as a parlor
floor, forbearance ceases to be vir-
tue and the situation seems to call for
a public indignation meeting.
Let the Board of Public Works at
once clean the streets or resign.

CARNEGIE'S NEXT MOVE.

1t seems that Pit.sburg has more

GERMANY'S PROSPERITY
Indicated by Consumption of Food
and Drink During the Past Year.

Indicated by Consumption of Food
and Drink During the Past Year.
WASHINGTON, January 10.-The
year book of the German maritime I'M
ion for 1901, quoted by Consul Hoss-
field, at Trieste, in report to the State
Department, regards the consumption
of coal and iron as the most reliable
measure of industrial activity in Ger
many. The consumption of coal rose
from 4,747 pounds per capita in 1896, to
5,1S5 pounds in 1898, and of iron from
271 pounds per capita in 1896, to 300
pounds in 1898. The revenue derived
by the kingdom of Prussia in 1898 from
,-e produce of its forests amounted to
$f9,2iS,00J, an increase of nearly ST.,
900, 900, as compared with 1896. The
growing consumption of meat, sugar
and beer is also mentioned as an addi-
tional sign of economic prosperity.
Consul Hossfeld says that while the
average person in Germany contented
himself with 123 quarts of beer in 1895,
he increased his allowance to 131
quarts in 1898. The freer use of ami
MAJ food is shown by the larger reve-
nue. derived from the meat tax, the in
crease being estimated at fully Is per
cent in the space of two years.
