The South Penn Oil company

have purchased the leases and pro-
duction of the Hartman Oil COM
pany In West Virginia. There IS
about 60 wells and 500 barrels daily
production and some undeveloped
leases. The price for the leases and
production Is about 100000. The
recent purchases of producing prop
critics by the Carter and South Penn
branches of the Standard OIL com.
pany Is not an entirely new depar-
ture although their policy hereto
fore has been to drill for their pro
duction. The scarcity of territory
may have something to do with
the policy of purchasing. To drill
new and large daily average pro-
duction requires more and better
territory than Is In sight. By the
purchase of producing properties
the Standard rot only help to main
tain their daily average but they
keep their alleged rivals, the Pure
Oh company limited as to their tu'
ture supply;
The pipe lines of the Pure Oil
company, except for temporary per-
iods, gnever handled over limited
amount of production and this linn
I'D amount was kept at approx
nately the same amount by the
Standards policy of purchasing
properties of their lines. BY Its
contracts with certain producers
and it's recent purchases OF proper
ties the Pure Oil company have
Strengthened their position but
lust how far their strength may ex'
tend will depend on the aggressive
ness of the Standard companies.
By restricting the amount OF pro-
duction to be secured by the Pure
Oil company ard driving them
from pillar to post SO to speak, the
Standard compel th' m to invest
vast sums In the extension of their
pipe lines and In no district IS
there prospect of holding produc-
ton by drilling. The price tor oil
Is by both the purchasers OF crude
kept too low. If by arrangements
there is a sort of pot-pouri of inter
ests between the Standarn and
Pare Oil company 1t makes little diff
ereuce who Is the purchaser. Like
tie puachase of credit balances, the
p-;ce per barrel for oil production
seems fvsd at about the same figure
by The purchasers, namely, 1000
per barrel. With existing condi'
tions the price Is none too high and
1t Is doubtful If any producing prop
erty sold today can be replaced for
the same money. The oil produc-
ers are gradually being grounded
up" and tie time is not far distant
when the Standard Oh company
instead of controlling IS per cent
of the Pennsylvania production as
they are now supposed to control
will have 1t all Is of value except
perhaps the properties of the larger
stockholders OF the Pure Oil com
pany and even they may have their
price.

Arkansas is to have l hnilding site at the St. Louis World $ Fair 100 X 300 feet, in commando ing position, already selected by President J. J Whitaker, who has just returned from that city bringing with hlm the shovel used in breaking ground in the exposition grounds. Mr. Whit takel estimates that 1t will cost $250,000 to erect a proper bulId-
 Ing and as the lust legislature appropriated only the measely sum of $30,O00 we will have to provide ways and means to get the balance. Fifty cents each of the adult population will he sufficient to meet all demands. One tenth of this class will doubtless never hear of the expo sition. Another tenth will learn of the affair, but not gIve d nickel, and another tenth may possibly give d little. The fourth tenth will have to be reached be fore an average of fifty can be  realized The fifth tenth will pay their way and make np for the poverty of the ifs tenth, and the sixth will do the same fes the second while the remaining four tenths will ae d big margin on which to realize the amount needed.

Farmers lEEreaSir1r.

The farms in the country are increasing in area, which means more farm homes, more good citizens and more safety for the country. The increase in the number of farms has been t.120.- 00o in ten years. Part of this in creasa has resulted from Che set clement of government lands, and part from the braking up of the bonanza farms of the previous decade and the encroachment of the man with the ploW on the holdings of the man with the COW IL Is a happy reflection that all to monopoliza the arable soils of the country have failed, and that the small farmer remains the mainstay of the republic.
