HUNTINGTON. W. VA Dec. 20.
There Is much rejoicing among
the oil men and others over the
strike made at the Berkeley we'll In
the Milton field last evening at 8
O'Clock.
The drill when down to depth
of 1910 feet, struck the same sand
as that In which oil was found In
the Beckett well, and the we'll In
two hours filled up a distance of
more than 900 feet. AS the casing
Is eight and fourth inches In
diameter this makes most excel
lent showing, as the Sand was
but barely touched. The drill was
stopped and telegram was sent to
Parkeasburg for a cap. which IS
known as an oil saver, and this will
be put on probably late tonight
and the we'll will net be drilled IN
until Monday.
This we'll Is No. I on the 7. J.

stockholdera being L. Murrell, John

BIG STRIKE IN MILTON FIELD

F. B. Enslow and Mr.. Van Ant
werp.
Quite number of those inter
ested visited the we'll today and re-
ports by phone from Milton are
very encouraging for a good pro-
ducer. The Standard Oil Co. now
has pipe on the ground for a pipe
line from the pumping station al
Hamlin farm and this line will run
within 1900 feet of the Berkeley
we'll The Berkeley now has a 25c
oarrel tank at their we'll.
Oil experts state that the Berkely
will be at least a 50 barrel we'll and
1t may greatly exceed this.
The above news item appeared
in a Paykersburg paper today which
Is noted for getting oil news wrong,
We hope however tn: report Is all
true and more than true, but from
the report as published the we'll Is
probably about a IS or 20 barrel
we'll and possibly not so large, but
If a we'll at all Its an important one.
The oil Is found In the Salt sand
which Is very treacherous and gen
orally limited as to production and
area, we hope however it Is big
we'll.

There has not been much build
Ing at Paden City for the past
month or two on account OF the
bad weather and everything else
has been put into the back ground,
so to speak, so that everybody
could push the work through on
the street car line.
President Watkins was In the
city this morning but will return
to Plttsburg this evening. He
will return Thursday, when he ex
poets to run the cars nearly
through to Brooklyn. On account
of a crossing over the B. & O
track at Brooklyn, 1t may be some

All the retail stores are keepir 6
cpsn every night, and will continue
10 do so until after Christmas, and
the clerks are weary when the
days labors are dore.
These are times when the clerks

studying the many sides of human
nature. This qualify Is exhibited
In all Its phases In the retail stores.
The pleasant shopper whose wants
are easily satisfied. and the shopper
whom 1t Is impossible to satisfy, Is
In evidence
"Oh, isn't that cunning!" Is a
popular expression heard from the
women folk In the toy departments
who discover some ingenious con-
trivance or other which creates q
favorable impression.
"Well what won't they git

mon, heard so often by the clerks
that 1t becomes monotonous,
1t Is a happy throng that wends
Its way through the crowded stores
lreading on one anothers toes, ell
bowling aid jostling one another,
but all seemingly happy and con-
tent In the prospect Of joyous
Christmas.

How Cheap Baking
Powder is Made

A seizure of a lot of cheap"
baking powders by the authorities
of a ne!g hboring city has exposed
the character of the low priced
brands of baking powders VIII ch
many manufacturers are otte ing
throughout the country. The
price of the powders first attracted
attention to them Samples were
taken and analysed The official
report Of the analysis showed the
stuff to be "alum powders, COM
posed chiefly of alum, sulphurlc
acid ard pulverized rock. The
powders were declared dangerous
10 health and several thousand
pounds were confscated and de
stoyed.
Physicians have frequently eau
toned consumers against mixing
food with these so called Cheap"
baking powders. They are all
found, when anaEyzed, to contain
large percentages of alum and
sulphuric acid to which Is added
various sorts of filling matter some
times both injurious and nasty.
The high class, cream Of tartar
baking powders, are the most
economical and wholesome and
should always be selected for use.
They will be found cheaper In the
end, besides making the fOod better
and more healthful.
