Our taxpayers In town are judi.
LIANT, believing Our water works
bonds and sewerage bonds will be
paid off by the towns income from
oil wells drilled on town property.
A large number of oil men have
visited town since pay was struck
In Matamoras. Corporation No.
and many town lots have been
leased. Those who have leased for
rentals or bonus, will be that much
ahead If the field does not prove
productive.
The sound of dressing tools at
night brings back the memories
of the days when the country was
dotted with derricks In all direc-
lions for miles, a new gas light as
they appear here and there on both
sides of the river show that new
wells are drilling, with bright pros
poets that mole will follow.
There has been great excitement
with our town people the last few
days. The town well Is showing
with a good show of oil and gas.
It has made two nice flows. They
are still drilling. We cannot say
what the final result will be but
hope 1t will be good. There are
many here trying to lease and much
interest Is manifested on that hre.
1t Is hoped there may be quite a
field opened up at this place.
Much interest seems manifested
elsewhere. Supplies are still daily
moving to the front and indications
point to an increased effort every
where this summer and many new
developments are looked for.

Drilling was resumed on Monday
and about 3 o'clock 1t began to flow
and for ~ minutes 1t flowed con-
tinuously, putting oil into the tank

whole time. The pay was the Sec

the first pay Is supposed to be In

for a very good we'll. Several wells

placed on the ground. We under

LAFAYETTE IN AMERICA.

Incidents of the Noble Frenchman's
Visit In 1924.
Lafayette's arrival in America was
the signal for one prolonged, brilliant
Fourth Of JUG celebration. The pupils
of the institutions throughout the coun-
try were prominent participants in the
festivities in his hoEor.
A little Maryland girl who, after
much drilling, had mastered poem
with which to greet him, beginning
Welcome. welcome, Lafayette,
Thee we never can forget,
was not permitted to get beyond the
second line of her recitation, the baby
lips being sealed at this point by an
ELUSIVE kiss from the enthusiastic
Frenchman.
OF the complaisance which charac.
terized him during his progress through
the states an old lady, now q resident
Of Baltimore. who Joined in singing
odes to him in Norfolk, Va, gives the
following illustration:
Locks of hair instead Of autographs
were then fashionable as souvenirs,

In an instant the red wig was in his
hand, but the terrified suppliant, to
whom he would have presented it.

The hero's personal appearance was

above all, the .disfguring red wig. he

The runs of the Cumberland pipe
lire continue to be reported In the
receipts Of Pennsylvania oil. Prob
ably, general manager, Payne
seeks to swell the receipts of the
National Transit company by In
Guiding an oil that really has no
more business In that claas than
has the oil of California or Beat
mont. The production of Pennsyl'
vania oil Is on the toboggan. and
Kentucky oil will not take Its place.
The receipts of the Cumberland
pipe line so far this month have
been $4,000 barrels but $1,000 bar
rels OF these receipts having been
reported instw days 1t Is evident a
couple of storage'Ftanks were at
tached and that the receipts are
not indicative of SO great an In
crease In production.
With the present increased
consumption for Pennsylvania oil
1t will not be long before the home
markets will take the entire pro-
duct, leaving the cheaper grades of
other fields to supply the export
markets.

THE OIL MARKET.

At the same time the cit was
made In the price for credit ball
ances the market quotations for re-
fined products quoted an adyance
of one cent per gallon on all grades
of lubricating oil and FIVE cents per
gallon on cold.test lubricating oil.
This Is especially cheering informa-
ton to come to Dan O'Day's pump.
ers just at time when a 10 point
reduction In export quotations was
followed by drop of 4 cents per
barrel In credit balances. 1t Is
only another instance of how well
the promise of Joseph Seep to pay
prices justified In the markets OF
the world" Is kept.
It will be noticed that old man
Rockefeller Is not following the
lines laid out by his sauctimonious
aud audacious son.
The old gent seems just as greedy
as ever in his accumulation of divl-
dends, evidently gambling on the
chance that his wealth will In no
way interfere with his chances OF
reaching heaves. There Is no evil
dence that the oil man intends to
make an equitable division of profits
between his refined products and
the crude oil of Dan O'Day's
bumpers.
Dlnkiespeil says: 'the greatest
humbugs often wear the longest
whiskers." 1t Is quite evident that
Dinky has not seen the recent re.
ports of old man Rockefeller not
having a hair on his body, nor has
he discovered that the latest photo
graphs of young John show him to
have no whiskers.

London, Feb. 5.-For many years there

alarming nature of the, present situation.

Special to The Journal.
Boise, Idaho, Feb. 5.-Harry Davis at
tempted to take his own life by cutting his
throat yesterday afternoon. He is about
% years of age and a son of Thomas Da
Wis, one Of the best-known pioneers Of
Idaho. The attempt was made in a Main
street saloon. After he was disarned by
bystanders he rushed out on the street
and ran several blocks before his father
arrived to take him home.
The cause which led to the rash act is
not known. but it is said that for the past
week Davis has been drinking heavily.
Walking toward the end Of the bar in the
saloon. he said to James Straight, the
bartender
Did you ever see a man cut his own
throat?''
Without waiting for an answer to his
strange query, he drew a large pocket
knife. and made a bad cut in his throat,
extending just below the lobe Of the right
ear down the side of his neck. The cut
was about four or five inches long. 1t
bled profusely.
