thing and the re6uers have been
reaping a harvest. The oil pro-

prophecies of better prices simply
because conditions have nothing to
do with the case, the robblng b ing
pronounced and barrtaced as 1t will
no doubt continue. Two cents was
recently added to the price evident
ly as a sop to keep up more or less
drilling and to lead to the belief
that the long expected era of better
prices had set In. The oil produc.

any set of men engaged In the
production of any commodity

left for the producer. There Is
no prospect of any better prices for
crude although the demand for re-
fined oil is increasing and the sup
ply Is becoming limited. Again
the question Is put to the oil pro-

Trenton, N. J., Feb. 1.-THE first
bills OF the present legislature to be
passed were house bills that met with
no opposition in the assembly. There
were i've in all. Three OF them amend
the present laws authorizing munich
palities to build joint sewerage outlets.
One of the other bills passed appro-
PIRATES $4,000 for the erection of a
monument on the Antietam battlefield.
The other bill to be passed was to re-
imburse soldiers of the Spanish-Amer-

clothing.
The bill appropriating $4,000 to
enable Professor Smith to make ex-
periments for the eradication of mos

more a preventative than al cure. and
that 1t involved the drainage of those
sections where the mosquitoes breed.
