ital. is now engaged in making oil land
locations along the west side of the
lake. The shore line for many miles IS
being surveyed and The Herald's in
formants express the opinion that the
crowd intends TO take up every acre
bordering the lake in Tooele county.
Much ground is understood to have
also been secured to the west and south
OF the mouth OF the Jordan river, the
latter by parties who are depending
largely on what win result from the
prospecting Of the Pennington field BY
the Guffey-Galey syndicate. At the
property Of the latter it is said that
everything is about ready for the COM
mencement OF active operations and
during the coming week the sinking Of
the first well viii begin.
More than ordinary interest is also
being taken in the liquid asphalt Sec
ton west of promontory at the north
end Of the lake and a great many Ioca-
tons have been made in the water. In
addition some of the shore lands have
been purchased outright and one Of
these days. it is expected, lively scenes
VIII be enacted there. Some OF the par
ties are figuring on recovering the vast
quantities Of asphalt which have flowed
from the assures in the earth's crust
and been deposited on the bottom Of
the lake while others viii attempt
reaching the source of the material by
sinking wells. 1t cannot he said that
an oil boom has yet struck this valley.
but if straws indicate the direction in
which the wind is blowing, a storm is
certainly brewing.

4 STIR IN 4 CHURCH.

Mrs, Ballington Booth has succeed led in making a stir in a fashionable land comfortable church, and it is not so easy to do that nowadays. In an address at the Madison Avenue Re- formed church, New York. Mrs. Booth was speaking of work in the State pris- ons of the country and the reforma- ton of so-ealled 'habituar' criminals. T see before me many, examples of what the love of Jesus Christ can do for habitual criminals. I see here for mer convicts with their wives, and some even with children" Many of the listeners looked at one another as if each felt that a neighbor might be one of those to whom Mrs. Booth was re- ferring. Suspicious glances were cast and many looked to see a telltale blush. but none was observable, and Mrs. Booth continued her remarks, assuring the congregation that she did not in- tend going into details.
 Perhaps Sister Booth could have made another stir by announcing that she saw before her examples of crim- inals who have not yet been caught and reformed. Such are often to be found in church if anybody knows where to look for them. They are nice, respectable people, too, and often quite prominent in good words and good works.

MADE IN GERMANY

The label made in Germany, has
 been widely spread by German skill and
 German enterprise, but there are some things made in Germany that are
 nit anything extra. For instance, something that was recently made lin Berlin. Awhile ago the Pom |meru bank went to pieces and two managing directors were accused of |criminal responsibility for the failure. During the first legal proceedings it was said that they made contributions from the funds of the bank to various Ichurch societies. It afterwards came |out that the two directors had applied about S174,0 GOO of the banks money to these church objects. It also appeared that this money had been given to the palace officer having charge of the lprivate affairs of the Empress Augusta Victoria, and that the money had been placed in his hands for the purpose of building new churches. The Empress has actively concerned herself first and Hast in the construction of good many Inew church buildings, It also came out in the legal proceedings that in re- turn for the $174,O00 the bank received the title of "court bank of the empress, ,'' and that the two directors. Herr Schultz and Herr Romeick. advertised this new title far and wide, and thus Isecured many new and small depositors. The palace officer in question, Oberhof- Imeister Freiherr von Mirbach, is known to be a thoroughly honorable man, and lit is believed that he regarded the con- tributions made by the two directors as coming from their own pockets.
 This is nice little episode and it in dicates that human nature is human mature. We don't have exactly this kind of thing in this country, but very likely we should if the conditions were fright for it.
