Scranton People Interested in Big
Oil Company.


The Cleveland Scranton Oil company.
which is now organizing. has already
met with wonderful success. They have
purchased 513 acres of the best oil
grounds in Hancock county. Ohio, and
have tWenty-seren producing wells,
with a production of $50 barrels daily,
with opportunities of placing seventy
five more wells. One new well. which
was shot last Monday, is producing 80
barrels daily. This property is all
proven oil territory. The Standard Oil
company has all the necessary pipes 20
pump the Oil to their main pipe line.
The company has been successful in
securing Mr.. Charles ii. Mari to take
the position of field superintendent.
Mr.. Mari is one of the veteran oil men
in the business, having been producer
and refiner all his life. TO Mr.. Mari
belongs the credit of having opened up
the Colorado oil field, particularly at
Florence, Col, where he brought to the
front the oil production and refining of
the Rocky Mountain Oil company, be-
coming so active competitor of the
Standard Oil company that it was in
duced to purchase the stock of the
Rocky Mountain Oil company at u large
profit TO it's stockholders. Mr.. Mari
was also associated with the Backus Oil
company, OF Cleveland, during the early
days OF the oil business, and later on
was associated with Clark Bros. e. Co,
another one OF the early and successful
oil companies. During the last ten
years he has been associated with sew
eral prominent companies, notably the
Columbia Refinery company of New
York, and the WilsOn-Clark Co, OF
Cleveland, Ohio
The company will be organized under
the laws of New Jersey, and will have
capitalization of $500, 900 900, with 5000
shares of stock, par value 500 per
share. Twenty new wells will be drilled
at once on the properties and these will
undoubtedly bring up the daily settled
production to at least 400 barrels. With
it's present production as II is today, !
the company will be in Il position TO
pay II per cent ON its capital stock. A
limited number of shares of the COM |
pany are being sold at the present time
at $50 per share, This stock on the
present basis would net the holders "A
per cent. per annum. With the addl- |
tional wells to be put down, no limit |
can be placed as to the comrany's |
earnings and ability to pay dividends.
The following gives Il list of the few
OF the more prominent stockholders of !
the company: Messrs. Elmer IL. La

Sometime ago the Saengerfest society
of Baltimore. Md, offered q prize for
the best musical composition setting to
music a poem entitled "Das Deutsche
Volkslied." The contest was world
wide in its scope and composers from
nearly every country in Continental
Europe and from all over the United
States entered.
The adjudicators selected the music
written by Louis " Saar as being the
best qualified of the 3S7 compositions
offered and awarded him the prize.
They also formulated an honorable list
of twenty-one others with the explain
alton that the compositions submitted
by the first three on this list far sur
pass the prize winning composition in
artistic worth but lack one requisite,
namely, popular style. The first
name appearing on this list is that of
Theodore Hemberger, of this city, whose
abilities as a musician are so we'll
known. Mr.. Hemberger can therefore
lay claim to having produced the most
artistic composition submitted in the
contest.

Three criminals of tender age were. yes- terday granted their freedom and given a chance to lead better lives by Governor Jelks. The Judges who tried them and those most familiar with the circum- stances of the offenses of the boys, joined in the request for executive clemency.

 This boy has served already a time equal to about four years sentence. The articles stolen were trihing. The trial judge recommends clemency as do many good citizens. Let parole issue defendant upon his future law-abiding conduct"
 Lamar Meadows and Bish Rogers. two small boys of Coosa County, were also given a chance to do better. They were convicted Of rocking a train. They were given a two years sentence October z1. 1901.
 The parole of the two boys bore the following endorsement from the Cover nor:
 These are small boys. They were charged with rocking a train There was an understanding that the court officials would recommend their release at the end of one years service. They have already suffered, owing to their youth, sufficient ly. Let parole issue dependent upon their future good and law-abiding behavior.

 With regard to the study of foreign markets. the Secretary has this to say:
 The Investigations fthe Division Of ForeignMarkets show exceptional activity on the part of our competitors in the agricultural export trade. especially Aus traiia. Canada. and Argentina. Our own agricultural exports for the fiscal year 10oa amounted to ss6o0Oo.ooo. This. next l to the exceptional record for 190l is the highest ever reported. The falling off from 1901 was mainly corn and cotton The decline in these two products aggre- gated $Ss. .ooo. .0o0
 Special interest has been aroused in our commerce in forestry products. Of these the United States exported last year $5O,- 000 0O0 worth, Europe being the principal foreign market. and the United Kingdom the largest purchaser. Our commerce with Hawaii in so far as agricultural products are concerned. shows a slight falling off. but a considerable increase with Porto Rico end the Philippines" The department has begun the work on an exhibit for the Louisiana Purchase FIX position. It will be the most complete ever made by the department.
