HoMEslckNEss IN MANILA.
As a Cure, an American News Service win
Be Established.

| Manila, Jan. 14.-Medical authori
ties here assert that a considerable
portion of the breaking down among
American residents Of the Philippine
Islands is due to homesickness.
Newspapers of Manila are urging the
United States Philippine Commission
to make an appropriation for daily
cabled news service from the United
States, thus bringing Americans here
| in closer touch with their home life.
A majority of the local papers. sever
al Army off1cres, civil officials and
others, have promised subscriptions
to help meet the cable tolls for a
three months news service of 100
words a day. An amount sufficient
to cover the tolls for 20 words a day
has already been subscribed. It is
hoped that this news service can be
begun January Is. 1t will be devoted
to American news exclusively. The
Government has offered to send news
bulletins free to all points on the
military wires.
Commissioner Bernard Moses, head
of the Department of Public Instruc-
tion for the islands, has delivered an
address to the teachers of Manila, IN
which he particularly urged the con-
tinued instruction of Filipino children
in English. He said the members
of the wealthy farmer classes were
making a great mistake in sending
their children to Spanish schools, as
the consequent neglect in English in
struction would injure their position
and standing in the islands, which
would inevitably and indissolubly
become a portion of the American ma
ton.
The news received from Batangas
Province Is cheerful. The expedition
to Loboo, in Batangas, has been &
complete success. The columns under
Colonels Wint and Wells have des-
troyed a large number of barracks and
hamlets, and enough rations to keep
10000 Filipinos for six months. There
was not a single American casualty
during the entire expedition. The
enemy fed before the Americans,
meany of them were killed and sew
eral surrendered.

panies own $4,000 acres covered with
yellow pine, all accessible from the
proposed extension. Mining develop
ment in the vicinity of Ashwood, a
new town on Trout Greek, has reach
ed a stage that demands transporta-
ton facilities.
Portland Will Be Benefited.
Portland trade field will be greatly
extended by the construction of the
proposed extension. A considerable
part of Lake and klamath Counties
which now have their commercial re-
lations with San Francisco wiz fms
it easier to reach Portland after the
road to Bend shall have been coin-
pleted. A wider extent of country
will be drained this way, and it's rap
i'd development will amount to open
ing a new empire at our door. Fur
ther extensions of this railroad are
contemplated, one prong to go to
Lakeview and another to Burns.
Those may come next year. Then in
terror Oregon will be fairly supplied
with transportation lines that will
tend to bind Oregon together rather
than tear it in parts.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
MONTPELIER, nd, Feb. 2.-Operations
in the greater Indiana oil field for the
month of February show that 209 wells
were completed. OF this number ia were
oil wells and thirty-five dry holes or gas
wells. The daily output Of the producing
wells amounts to 2,S1O barrels, or an aver
age per well per day of seventeen barrels.
In new operations under way there are
1S9 wells drilling and seventy rigs up and
building. This is a remarkable showing for
the March operations, as there is an in
crease of ffty-one in drilling wells. This
signifies that over two hundred drilIers
and tool dressers have found employment.
The February report shows a decline of
only two in completed work from the jan
uary figures and a decline in daily produc-
ton of 100 barrels. The castings and drive
pipes were pulled from forty-four of the
old wells and the material is being utilized
for the drilling of new wells.
With the advent of spring will come re-
newed activity. Ii looks very much as
though the present year will develop into
one of the most prominent in the history
of Indiana crude oil. More test wells will
be drilled this season than ever before if
the price OF oil does not decline too much.
The present activity is c~entered in Grant
county, where over eighty strings of drill
ing tools are at work. This is equal TO
the work doing in any of the best counties
in Ohio. This county made a good record
during February, being credited with sew
enty-nine wells completed and the addition
of a daily production of lao barrels. 1t IS
the most expensive part of the Indiana field
TO operate in on account of the large
amount of salt water TO handle from the
wells.
There are prospects Of considerable ac-
tvity in the Hartford City pool in Black
ford county. The completion of a large
number OF failures there a few weeks ago
put a damper on operations for a short
time, but confidence has been restored and
new work is springing up. 1t is the same In
the Indiana oil field as in any other. A rev
dry holes stop operations to some extent.
while a big producer cause d rush and
great activity.
The figures herewith given will explain
more fully the conditions of work through
out the Indiana oil field for February and
shows where the new work starts in for
March:

HELPED BY The WEATHER
LOCAL MARKETS SHOWING AN
INCREASED ACTIVITY.
Prices, However, Are Weakening Tn
Lower, with Arrivals Smaller.

Fine weather gave considerable life to
trade and tended to weaker prices in some
lines, and its long continuance would mean
much in that direction. as poultry, eggs
and butter and many lines of vegetables
would be affected. Eggs and Irish pota-
toes, which have ruled too high for months
already, have broken and will go still low
er. A few lays of the present weather
will affect the poultry and butter markets.
One of the singular things Of the last few
months is the range of prices of groceries
Cha nges in wales with the latter have been
few and of but little Importance. Sugars
now bring but a quarter of a cent more a
pound than six months ago, and conees
are but &c higher. Both are ruling steady
at present figures. The dry goods market,
which has gone along many months at a
low range of prices, is more active, and
yet high as compared with former years.
Leather carries a steady, healthy tone,
with prices unchanged for several weeks,
while hides have been unsettled, with
prices ruling weak. being 1 cent. below last
falls quotations. Cereals, which have been
substituted for Irish potatoes to a great
extent, ere lower, with the unsettled state
of the wheat and corn markets; still they
are considerably higher than a year ago,
being in so much better request. Iron ana
steel merchants are having matters much
their own way as regards prices, ana are
doing as they have done through the en-
tire winter, more business than in any
former year. All lines of trade from now
on will improve. Large and healthy spring
trade is in prospect as soon as the country
roads become well settled.
