Weston was musician of no mean
ability, and occasionally entertained
us all with selections on the piano,
but the fitful way in which he played

He seldom played selection through

rather to run over the keys idly, i'm

have just learned that to be success
full person must advertise constant

was also running last month. | do
quite mail order business, and am
now receiving more orders for an ar

is question that can be answered
by naming the many millionaire

QuotGAs
The Robert Echols No. 2 drilled
1 the same company was due some
time ago, but owing to bad luck the
advent of another oil well Ii
pushed In the future.
The Sistersville's King No. has
increased Its production slightly
since being pumped for a couple o.
months.
The following telegram was sent
from Caldwell to the Marietta Reg
lister of Monday evening.
Dudley Is worked up to the high
est pitch of excitement on account
of mysterious noises which are be-
Ing heard nightly. Dudley Is ar
oil field and we'll Is drilling near
the cemetery. The first appear
ance of the noise was last week.
About one O'Clock one morning
the driller and tooldresser, who run
the midnight "towet" were startled
by sound as if som one was pound
Ing on iron casing near by with.
sledge- hammer. Leaving the der
rick to investigate, they found
some eight.and-a quarter inch cas-
ing, which was lying near the der
rick Jumping around on the ground
at lively rate, making noise that
could be heard for a mile. The
noise awakened Frank Pooch, the
lease Ross, who lives near. and be
hurried over to the we'll 10 fnd out
the cause of the trouble. Mr.. Pooc1
thought some one was playing &
joke on him, and, picking up 6
sledge hammer, he started aftel
the offender, when instantly the
hammer was torn from his GRASP
by some invisible force and hurled
to the ground, barely missing the
tooldresser's head.
A joint of casing was leaning ar
against the derrick and was thrown
down with stuff Gent force to mash
the end fat. Another strange
feature of the affair Is that tie gas
which is used for firing the boiler
and lighting up the derrick, and Is
furnished by high pressure line
having force of IS pounds to the
square inch, at the time of the dis
turbance will go out as suddenly as
If turned off, and all efforts to light
it while the disturbances continue
are fruitless.
After the noise subsidies there
will be nothing more happen for an
hour, when the whole thing will be
repeated. This continues from to
q a. m. The whole affair Is a mys-
terry, and unless the cause Is found
soon the company will have to dis
continue the midnight tower" as
no one Is willing to risk his life In
order to run 1t.

the struggle for supremacy In tor

en- harvest having made more
money than in any time of their
existence. One excuse after another
has been given Dan O'Day's pump
ers why the p-ice has been kept
low until they no longer hoped for
prices which the markets OF the
world really justify.
Their experience inlsearching for
profitable territory to operate has
during the past FIVE years been
anything but encouraging. Lower
prices for crude oil will certainly
curtail operations which except In
one or two localities of minor i'm
portance are already on the wane.
In Wesr Virginia there are thou-
sands of acres of 10 to IS barrel
territory which is awaiting the ad-
vance SO long expected in the price
for oil to be developed. This class
of territory being mostly confined
to districts where deep drilling Is
required Is not profitable at pres
ent prices. Crude prices must ad
vance so that the light territory
can be proftably operated or a
further decline In production will
surely come. There Is no justice
In giving one end of the oil indus
try all the profits and the recent
advance In crude of 2 cents per
barrel and the decline of 20
points In export refined seems
somewhat more like equalizing
matters but unless crude prices ad-
vance there may be considerable oil
falling off in new operations In
light territory.

It Is reliably reported that the
orders for the pipe for the Union
Gas company lines from West Vir-
ginia gas fields to Ohio cities has
been placed. The orders are the
largest ever given, and the price
for pipe and fittings alone, 1t Is
said, will reach upwards of three
and a half million dollars. Mr..

taken the greatest natural gas en-
terprise In the world and as he is
backed by vast amount of terri
tory from which to draw his supply
OF gas the investment seems based
on a solid foundation.
