FIELD REPORT
Shows April to Have Been an Active Month
in Oil Circles.

For quiet, uneventful month in the
oil fields, April presents few sur
prising features. the most notable
Of which is the increase in we,as COM
pleted and new production. But C
must be borne in mind that March was
an unexceptional month in this particu
lar and presented the lowest figures
that had been recorded in a long time
Not only were the producers very ac-
tive in the Pennsylvania regions but
the Lima oil districts of Ohio and In
diana show heavy gains along the
same lines,
The efforts to discover new pools met
with the usual results during April as
shown by the very large list of dry
holes. The Southwest, however, con-
tinues to furnish a great many odd
hooks and corners, in old or partially
derined territory, where a good we'll
may be struck at almost any moment.
Sand Fork, which has been almost rel
egated to the has beens." showed
some strong symptoms of revival the
past month and with nine good wells
to her credit, brought about an in
crease in the daily production of that
section. There are number of prom
Using locations in the vicinity and a
pool of very respectable proportions is
by no means an impossibility.
The summary for April in the Penn
sylvania fields presents 41S productive
wells and III busters and the aggregate
production is placed at 1924 barrels
The increase over March is 72 wells, SO
busters and ,440 barrels new produc-
tion. In April, year ago, there were
GA productive wells and 1888 busters
completed and the new production was
12 462 barrels.
New operations during the month
made net gain of Sc, the tables sum
ming up $40 rigs and 5S7 wells drill
ing at the close of the month. On
April 80, 1900, there were 482 rigs and
l702 wells drilling in the Pennsylvania
fields
Those who expected an advance in
the market on the strength of the
Showing of the March field report were
Idisagreeably surprised. There were
other causes at work to produce a con-
Itrary effect chief of which was the un~
Isettled condition of the foreign refined
markets. When the Spring opened
Russia was ready with large stock of
refined oil, which is now being dis
posed of at panic prices. At Baku re-
fined oil is almost being given away,
and unless the refiners form some sort
pf an organization, to check the indis-
triminate slaughter of prices, many of
them will have to go into bankruptcy.

From The Country to the City.

"God made the country, man made
the town" The census statistics of
three of the leading countries of tn :
world, which have been recently en-
gagged in taking stock of their popula-
tion, show that in all three the people
are steadily drifting from Gods coun-
try to the man made towns.
The figures of the census of the I'm
tied States testified eloquently to the
superior attractions of the cities,
especially in the older states. The
story told by the Ohio census is typical
of that of other states that have pro.
gressed SO far as to have cities of con-
siderable size within their limits. OF
the eighty-eight counties in the state
the largest gains, and they were very
large in some of them, with the single
exception of Hamilton were in those
having thrivin, cities, while in twen-
ty-two OF the purely agricultural coun-
ties there was an actual loss of popu-
lation in the ten years
The decennial census of Great Brit
ain and the quinquennial census of
France, both of which were recently
taken, have not yet been completely
tabulated, but the partial reports
made public indicate the general re-
suits. In both the drift from the coun-
try towards the cities, from meadow
and plow-land to paved streets, from
clear skies to murky, SCOT laden at
mosphere, has been more marked in
the latest census periods than before.
The rural districts in both countries
are shrinking in population, many of
the smaller villages are practically de-
populated, and in France even some
cities of considerable size show an ac-
tual decrease, owing to decline in
particular industries which were their
chief support.
An attempt is made to account for
the decay of the agricultural districts
in England by ascribing it to the dis
astrous working of free trade. This
argument, however, will not apply in
either the United States or France
both of which have for years had the
benefits of protective tariffs. Yet the
poulation statistics of these countries
as we'll as of Great Britain tell the
story of an increasing drift from the
country to the big cities from the farm
to the factory. The cause for this in
creasing tide from Gods country to
man made towns lies deeper than in
tariff schedules.-Plain Dealer.

eREAT FLOODS
Are Attributed Largely to the Loss Of
Forests.

The following timely article is TAX
en- from the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
craft
The estimate that the damage to
property by the floods in the Ohio
River Valley will reach $4,000 200
shows the great losses to the country
which have resulted from the whole
sale destruction of forests which has
been going on for the past third of a
century. These floods are repeated
year after year with but little varia-
ton, and they occur along the Mis-
souri, and the Mississippi as well as on
the banks of the Ohio. Some years
the destruction is less in the Ohio VAL
ley than it has been in 1901, but in
other years it has been much greater.
Destructive freshets were reported
along the Ohio in the early days of the
settlement of that region, The resi-
dents at Marietta and vicinity a hun
dred years ago were occasionally
troubled by high water in the spring,
but the damage, even allowing for
the vast increase in the value of the
property along the river since then. is
vastly greater now than it was in the
old days. Floods come oftener now
than they did then, and the rise in the
river is greater though large stretches
of country were overfiowed more than
once along the Ohio in the early part
of the historic period.
The destruction of the forests along
the river is the prime cause of the
greater rise of the water during the
flood periods of today than occurred
two-thirds of a century ago, or even
half century ago. Hundreds of
square miles of trees are wantonly
sacrificed along the watershed of all
the great rivers every year, though
there has been little let-up in the de-
vastation recently. Thus the precipi-
tation by the rains is not held back as
formerly, but is poured into the
streams, and these Sendlng thelr con-
tents suddenly into the rivers cause
vast overfows in which houses are
swept away, railroads are submerged,
and many lives lost. This is the gen
eral course of things almost every
spring. The efforts of the govern
ment to compensate for the loss of the
forests by the construction of dams to
hold back the water in spots are vain
except that they diminish the destruc-
tiveness to some extent. The restora-
ton of the forests, so far as this is
practicable, is the only means OF les
sening the devastation which takes
place every spring along the banks of
most of the great Western rivers.
