TO THE APPLE.

Thy rounded form and ruddy cheek, r.
 Thy full proportions nomely grace What sturdy health. they seem to speak,
 How beams with cheerful smiles thy
 face! Oh, let the orange f1aunt her gold,
 The peach her bloom seductive show The grape display her purple bold,
 The cherry prank in gaudy glow I'd give them all away for thee,
 Pomona's pride New England joy; Thy deVotee I'll ever be To latest days, as when a boy. Symbol thou art of sanity,
 A soul serene, temperate life; In thee we find no vanity,
 No idle pomp no foolish strife. Who would have health ana lengtk of days,
 Who would look back on years well spent Oh, let him join in this thy praise
 And learn the secret of content Percy F. Bicknell, in Farm Journal.

An Automobile Car.

A. C. Glib, of Middlebourne,
arrived in the city last evening,
and was a guest of the Hotel Mer-
Ger until this morning, when he
left for Pittsburg. Mr.. Glib S mis-
sion to the Smoky City is for the
purpose of inspecting the very Ia
test devices Of automobile manu-
featured. He informed an Oil Re-
view representative that a stock
company was being formed at
Middlebourne for the purpose of
purchasing an automobile car
and operating it between this
city and Middlebourne. Mr.. Glib
was of the opinion an electric ma
chine would be the kind selected,
as this make was the most dura-
bic and best adapted to this sec
ton of the country. Mr.. Glib
further stated that the machine
that would likely be selected
would cost about $4,000, and
would have a capacity of seating
twelve persons very comfortably.
The time consumed in making
the run between this city and
Middlebourne, with twelve pas
sengers, would be forty minutes
on ordinary good roads. The con-
veyance would be next to an cleo
trio railroad, and would afford the
people much more rapid and COM
Portable transportation than the
present methods of transpOrta-
ton. It is said that some Of the
most prominent citizens and bust
ness men of Middlebourne are be-
hind the project. The enterprise
would doubtless be a success both
financially and otherwise, and
would be a great accommodation
to the public in general. We hope
to see the automobile car in opera
ton in the very near future be-
tween the metropolis of Tyler and
the county seat. If we cant en-
Joy the luxuries Of a trolley line,
give us the next best means Of
transportation-an electric auto
mobile.

J. G. Warner Interviewed.

Last evening we had the pleas
ure of again meeting j. G. Warn
er, County Surveyor, and as his
business calls him all over the
county we interviewed him as to
who would be nominated for
Sheriff. He looked all around the
neighborhood to see if any person
was looking or listening, then
took us in to a dark and secluded
spot and told us in a low, kissing
stage whisper, that, in his opin-
ion, after being all over the coua-
ty, and talking to nearly every
voter in the county, he was firmly
convinced and satisfied that the
man who receives the majority of
the votes cast will be the nominee.
Thanks. 1t is so satisfactory to
get such prompt ana reliable re-
ports. Mr.. Warner is looking
very well, is enjoying good health
and will be nominated and elect
ed County Surveyor again.

Gigantic Pipe Line Plan Alleged.

The morning papers announce
that the Standard Oil company
has planned to lay a pipe line
from Texas to New York, with
branch lines radiating to the va
rious oil fields. In this way the
entire oil production of the Uni
ted States is to be handled. AS
an adjunct to this enterprise re-
fineries will be erected at conven-
lent intervals. The cost of pump
ping the oil is said to be about
one-tenth of that of shipping by

RICH IN NATURAL GAS.
Figures Showing Development of
Gas Fields of This State.


There are not many who realize
the extent of the natural gas bus
mess in West Virginia. Speaking
Of the industry the Coal Trade
Journal says:
This State is yearly becoming
more prominent as a natural gas
producer, and is the hope of the
future for a continued supply to
western Pennsylvania and eastern
Ohio. Its field operations have
within the last two years proven
the existence of deeply buried
strata containing high pressure
gas over many large areas in Lew
is, Harrison, Marion, Monongalia,
and Wetzel counties, developed in
the Big Injun, the Gordon sand,
the Gordon Stray, the French, the
Fifth, and the Bayard or Sixth
sands. Many of the wells in this
section of the State are among
the largest in volume; as much as
100000 cubic feet are recorded
as the output of a single well. The
rock pressure is from 1000 to l.
$50 pounds to the square inch,
and the depth of the wells is from
2,700 to 1920 feet. The other
counties in which more or less
natural gas has been developed
are Tyler, Richie, Doddridge,
Calhoun, Marshall, Wood, Writ,
Roane, Cabell, Boone, Mingo, Ka-
nawha and Gilmer. Several of the
largest natural gas companies in
western Pennsylvania supply
Pittsburg with natural gas pro-
duced in West Virginia. During
the last year several large lines
have been completed across the
Ohio river into eastern and south
ern Ohio.
The value Of the production of
natural gas in 1902 was $5,39O,181
an increase of 81, 435, 709, or sc
per cent as compared with 1901,
this State showing the largest per-
centage Of increase in 1902. Of
the total product only about 46
per cent was consumed within the
State, 81 per cent going to Penn
sylvania and Ohio. West Vir-
ginia also received some natural
gas from Kentucky and Pennsyl-
vania, which was consumed inside
of it's borders. The combined pro-
duction of natural gas and petrol
cum in this State in 1902 was
valued at 500, 430, 1913, or 21.99 per
cent of the combined value of pc
troleum and natural gas produc-
ed in the United States in 1902.
The increase in production of nat
ural gas in this State has been
quite regular since 1895. There
are sufficient reservoirs now de-
veloped to add largely to the
States wealth in the future, as
the petroleum and butiminous
coal deposits recently developed
have done.
The value Of the natural gas
produced in West Virginia from
1899 to 1902 is shown in the fol-
lowing table:
1889 S. 10000
1890 ......... 5,400
