For some days the Schoo Board and

saving of freight and enabling our manu-

their command, TO dominate the business.
In the soap trade cOcOanut oil is desir-
able, not only because of its intrinsic ex-
cellence, but for the less creditable reason
that soap in which 1t is employed will abb

of the producer suggests and the knowl-
edge of the buyers permit. In spite of the

In regard to the development of our mer-
chant marine the consul says: With a
population of ten millions, more or less, in
the Philippines, it has occurred to me we
might turn to them TO assist us in this mat
ter. The Filipinos are transacting an i'm
pOrtant coasting trade among their own
islands. l frequently encounter them in
this city as sailors. in which capacity they
give entire satisfaction. They are obedient.
active, intelligent, clean and willing to work
for low wages. They are accustomed TO
employment in tropical climates, whereas
European crews require relief crews of ma
tives while traversing the Red sea, for ex-
ample. The employment of Filipinos would
not displace American sailors. as the lat
ter are comparatively rare and are needed
for the coast and lake trade"

event that has long been anticipated by
railroad men in all parts of this country

.recia. to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal
MONTPELIER. Ind. May 29.-During the
month of May in the Indiana oil field there
were POI wells completed, of which thirty
five were failures. The new production
amounts 10 1850 barrels daily. or an aver
age per we'll per day OF twenty-five barrels.
This is a remarkable showing although
the average is one-half a barrel less than
the April averages. The May report shows
twenty-three more completed wells, $50 bar
rels more production. and a decrease of
three in dry holes over the April figures.
In new operations there is great activity.
and there are thirty-six strings more of
tools in operation than there were in April,
while the tables show one less rig. There
are POP drilling wells and eighty-seven rigs
up and ready for the drill.
In Wells county there is but a slight
change in the operations for the past two
months. In Blackford county there is quite
a change, owing to the productive area
near Hartford City, in Licking and Wash
ingtOn townships. jay county shows more
wells completed in May than in April, still
the output is much smaller. Adams county
shows a slight increase, due TO the Su-
perior Oil COmpany's finds in the south
east corner of Blue Creek township, also
in Wabash township. Grant county leads
all others in completed work, and in all
branches of the industry at the present
time. The new nelQ In center ana Mill
townships is very active. The field in Van
Buren township is likewise very active, but
bow extensive the pool is yet remains un-
tcld. In Franklin township. TO the west
and south of Marion, there is unusual ac-
tivity. This new work is due to the finding
OF remarkably good wells on the Sohn
farm by the Marion Fruit Jar Company.
The center of activity the present season
will be around Marion. In Grant county
alone there are close to forty strings of
tools at work, and it is predicted that that
number will be doubled in the near future
il the price OF the product does not de-
cline too rapidly.
Huntington county is merely holding it's
cwn from month to month, as are Madison,
Miami, Marion and Wabash counties Della
ware county has had more oil excitement
this month than any previous one since
oil was found within its borders. The di-
rect cause of 1t all was the drilling in by
the Monroe Oil Company of a well near
Parker. in Liberty township. that started
at 800 barrels. The we'll is holding up 10 its
production far above expectations. Near
tho state line in Jay county there are
several test wells under progress of drill
ing that are being closely watched. These
wells may develop the spot that has been
long looked for-the connecting link of the
Trenton rock fields of Indiana and Ohio.
The work for the month of May, as COM
pared with that Of April. will be found in
the following tables:
