The TIME Is RIPE,

Many hunters were killed and wound
ed during the recent open deer season,
and this fact has stirred up the sports
men to an extent not known in Wiscon-
sin before. There is an unanImity of
feeling that a law must be passed that
will protect the hunter. The best sug-
gestion the PILoT has noticed up to
date is to pass a law prohibiting the
killing of the doe and making it vio-
lation of law to kill anything but the
bucks The latter can be easily distin-
guished by their horns, hence there
will be no difficulty in enforcing the
law. If hunter has to pay 800 or
more, as fine for killing a doe, they
will be very careful not TO shoot at
every moving object 1t is natural to
suppose that every sportsman will go
into the woods prepared to tell buck
from doe ut a long distance. mis-
seem 20 be very good solution of the
question, though something better may
be proposed before the legislature meets
next year.

A VERY VALUABLE Oil.
ANALYSIS Made by Mr.. W. A. Nbeeldon Of
Houston.
EQUAL 10 TUE FAMOUS GAlENA COACH OIL
samples from Beaumont VIII show
that It's Product Is Useful for
More Than Fuel.

Mr.. W. a. Wheeldon, general baggage
clerk Of the Southern Pacific rlilroad has
made an analysis OF the Beaumont oil
and pronounces 1t OF excellent quality,
good for both illuminating and fuel PUT
poses.
In speaking Of his test yesterday, Mr..
Wheeldon s1id "a sample Of oil from
the Beaumont well was handed me for
analysis. Not being provided with the
necessary apparatus to make the same
by distillatlon | could not make a COM
plete analysis but learned enough to de-
termlne that the oil is OF a fine quality
and not useful for fuel alone. The spe-
cihc gravity is 32 per cent on the oleo-
meter scale which approximates to % per
cent gravity on the hydrometer used for
spirits.
Il next tested for asphaltum and found
less than 10 per cent, leaving limpid
oil of 80 per cent gravity palafne base,
and is Identical with the oil produced at
Franklin, Pa, from which is obtained the
famous Galena coach oil used on all first
class roads for oiling journals ON passen-
ger coaches and which sells at about 80
cents per gallon.
Under Installation l have no hesitancy
in stating that it will yield from rs per
cent TO 80 per cent of high quality IL
Illuminating oil and 60 per cent Of para
fine oil and wax. These qualities could
only be determined by dlstlllation. in
tend to submit sample to dietillation
as soon as can procure the necessary
apparatus aud will report the result.
