DECATUR, Ind. May 2s.-Quite num-
Der of oil properties in the Adams county
field have been sold within the last few
weeks and it is probable that there will
be quite an extensive change of owner
ship in different parts of the district be-
fore the close of tie season. When ii is
considered that most of these deals are
made on the basis Of 81 per barrel of
production, it may be seen that the prop
erty is in good demand. OF course. the
stock corporations have boosted prices 10
such point that an operator will not
dispose of his goods for less than the new
ly established price. With the market at
its present high point. there is every rea-
son to believe that strenuous efforts will
be made toward increasing the output, and
it is possible that some very good terri
tory will be opened up.

FLORA, Ind, May 2S.-The anti-saloon
element here has stolen a march on the OPP
position and a big remonstrance will be
filed tomorrow against three applicants
in this township for liquor licenses. A
blanket remonstrance was circulated about
six months ago, but it lacked twelve of
having the requisite number of signatures.
The public in general thought the matter
had been dropped, but during the last few
days new names have been added to the
old remonstrance and it now has more than
enough to make il effective The work OF
the demonstrators has been so quiet that
at this very minute the opposition is wholly
off it's guard.

RICHMOND, Ind, May 2S.-Chief Engi-
neer Crankshaw, of the Eastern Indiana
Traction Company. is in the city and gives
out some interesting information in refer
ence to the project. He says all the fran
chises necessary TO the construction of the
road have been secured except one, and
he will be here next week to open perma-
nent headquarters. The line is TO reach the
Marion Soldiers Home, which is about
three miles out from Marion. Such con-
.iections are to be made that through
service can be given from Chicago to Gin
cinnati. The construction of the road will
be the same as that of a standard steam
road and it would be possible to put a
steam locomotive and train of cars on 1t
and let them run full speed. 1t will be pos
sible to make sixty miles an hour with the
traction cars. The through service trains
will be vestibuled and sleepers will be car
ried. All told, there will be very little diff
ference between the service on the Eastern
Indiana and any good steam road, other
than that one goes by electricity and one
by steam.
