SINKING OIL WELLS
DOWN IN ALABAMA
Captain Rose Secures Cullom
Springs Property.
IS NOW DOWN 1866 FEET

An Vicinity OF MOb1Ie the People Are
Satisfied Oil Will Be Found In Great
Abundance-Search Is Now Going
Forward.
MOBILE, May 8.-Beverly, Gaines &
Denison, real estate men, who have been
acting as agents for Captain Joseph A.
Rose. the New York capitalist and the
president Of the Royal Baking Powder
company, in the matter of the deal for
the Cullom Springs property, announced
last night that the deal has been closed,
and the transfer will take place today,
when Captain Rose will return to the
city from Ocean Springs, Miss.
Captain Rose first offered $25, 600 for
the property, but Mrs. Dahlberg, the
proprietress, held out for $4,000 1t
appeared for few days that the parties
to the deal would not come together on
the price, but mutual concessions were
made for part of the property and for
granting Mrs. Dahlberg privileges. Cap
tain Rose pays the sum of S11, 900. His
agents say that Captain Rose will at
once proceed to arrange for the boring
OF the well, which has already gone
down 1866 feet. Here the drills struck
a layer of rock and were broken, caus-
ing the work at that time to be discon-
t1nued.
Cullom Springs is about 60 miles
from Mobile, and only a short distance
from the Mobile and Ohio railroad at
Wavensboro. 1t is also located very
close to the river, thus afford1ng easy
transportation facilities.
Northern capitalists are boring a we'll
IN Escambia county, Ala, near the
Florida line. This is said to be almost
due east of the Choctaw county oil belt.
Local parties are having bored we'll
at brickyard about 4,miles north of
this city, where there are numerous in
dicat1ons and outcroppings of oil There
are said to } a large number of strang-
ers in the Choctaw and Washington
county districts. A local railroad man,
who is handling the oil end of the busl-
ness for his railroad has advices that
tend to show that there will be a rush
to Mobile and this vicinity within the
next few weeks of men interested in oil.

STUDY TARO BLIGHT
SECRETARY WILSON'S ANNUAL
REPORT.
Taro, Poultry and Hogs Entitled to
ments in the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, November 25.-The
annua report of Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson tells of the vast growth Of
all branches of the departments work.
An extension of the weather forecast to
farmers through the rural free delivery
is contemplated. Wireless telegraphy
will soon connect TatoOsh island,
Wash, with the mainland.
The report says that during the year
station has been established in Ha-
wall. Among the first work at this
station was the planting of taro, with
the special object of studying the dis
eases seriously affecting that crop.
Probably so per cent of the working po-
pulation in these islands depend on taro
for their daily food, and, owing to these
diseases and the attendant deteriora-
ton Of the crop, the price of taro has
increased 500 per cent in the last de-
cade. Some other diseases of fruits
and vegetables call for study, and poul-
try experiments have been inaugurated
with a view to increasing the supply
of poultry. 1t is reported that live
chickens sell in Honolulu at $15 doz-
en- and eggs at 40 to so cents a dozen.
| Hogs bring from 10 to II cents a pound
on the hoof and experiments have been
undertaken in the feeding of swine with
various tubers and roots.
The Secretary regards 1t as extreme
| ly desirable that agricultural investiga-
tions should be undertaken in the Phil
| ippne islands under the War Depart
ment and in cooperation with the De-
partment of Agriculture. In further
ance of this work the Secretary recon-
mends an additional appropriation of
$4,000 for the ensuing fiscal year.
