The question OF employing swallows
instead of pigeons TO carry dispatches
has been seriously considered in
France. The aptitude of the swallow
for the work is by many held to be
even greater than that OF the pigeon.
They fly to a greater height and are
therefore less exposed 70 being shot,
and they travel faster, making good
nearly eighty miles an hour, where a
pigeon would only get over fifty. II
is also claimed for them that they are
more faithful, intelligent and have no;

pigeon has. 1t is also asserted that the
swallow can be more easily and quick

There is not great deal being done
10 this county in the way OF oil de-

done in the upper end Of the county
in the Cross Roads development and
occasionally a well is encountered.
None OF the recent strikes have been
very rich however and the oil men are
getting restless under the collar,
They have tried validating In sew

All OF the tests have resulted In dry

cant be blamed for going To other
counties to try it on,
Some OF them have made invest

are going after Mason county as will
be seen from the following from the

ssBefore the close OF the present

Virgil A Lewis of Mason and Somer-

secured leases on practically solid

between nine and ten thousand acres.
The gentlemen they have interested
In operating ia this county are expert

They propose making thorough test
of this territory by putting down a
sufficient number Of wells TO thorough

for oil or gas are at all favorable they
will continue their operations and In
vestigations until thoroughly satisfied
as TO whether this is an oil or gas re-
gion. On the leased premises Oil has
already been found In four different
wells, none of which has ever been
shot No dry holes were ever bored
jim this territory. The well struck at
II tford City on last Saturday is in
the immediate vicinity OF the land
which has been leased. As experien-
ced oil men, the operators, who are to
do the drilling, regard this field as
fine prospective territory. 1t is the
earnest wish OF everyone that their
hopes will be realized. We are glad
