or at least will be shortly, actively
at work on the ground chosen by him
after very rigid search and exam
ination CT various territories, is on
the east side of Big Blaine creek, not
far from the Carter bridge. The land
on which the first we'll will bejdrilled
is part Of the George Carter farm,
adjacent to the land owned by the
estate Of Alexander Lackey, deceased.
Gen. Clark has leased 20OOacres in one
body. including these tracts, and here
at least two wells will be drilled.
The first, at least, will be sunk to a
depth Of 1900 feet, deep enough, GER
tainly, to ascertain beyond doubt the
presence or absence of paying guam
titles Of oil. The machinery is up-to-
date and the work will be in the
hands OF the most expert and expe-
rienced driners. Gen. Clark is vet
eran oil man, entirely familiar with
all the ms and outs. ups and downs,
no pun intended-harassments and
complications usually attendant upon
the boring u wells. He ia fully pre-
pared for any and all of these things
and with his very evident intelligence
and energy srreSs in this latest en-
terprise in Lawrence county seems
assured.

Up Go Inc Cows.


City Council met Tuesday night.
with Mayor Augustus Snyder presId-
ing and Messrs. Robt vinson. Robt.
BickeL Dan Blankenship and William
Wilson present
The most interesting piece Of legis-
lauon that has been enaced for a
long time is the passage OF an ordi-
nance making II an offense TO permit
cows to run at large within the cor
porate limits Of the city. The ordi-
nance makes II punishable by a fine
OF not less than one nor more than
nine dollars. and each day the COW run
at large shall be considered a sepa-
rate offense. The law takes effect
fifteen days from the publication OF
the ordinance. Another important
thing done was TO direct Mayor Sny-
der as Commissioner TO purchase one
thousand feet Of first class fire hose
for the use Of the city. Two new
street crossings were ordered to be
built. one from the old Drake brlld-
ing to the opposite Billups corner.
and the other from Junior ordar
Hall TO Milt.Burns' corner. Aru,hrr
excellent thing done was to order the
Water Works Company to repair and
put In good condition the streets
along which the mains run and which
now present rather a ragged appear
ance. II was settled that the en-
tire amount to be paid manager Cox.
OF the waterworks company Is $3.50
annually. Several small bills were
ordered paid and some business OF
minor Importance was transacted
and Council then adjourned.
And now let the Council appoint
smelling commltte and do something
to abate that horrible odor which poi
sons the atmosphere in the neigh
borhood OF the Jail. AL who live in
that vicinity are complaining OF the
sickening stencil. and passers-by hold
their noses until they are out of
reach OF the smell.
The council has ordered all side
walks repaired that are in bad condi-
tion.

A Call TO The Louisa People TO
Show Proper Interest.

To the Labor and Business interests
Of Louisa:
A call was published last week for
the annual meeting OF the Big Sandy
River Improvement Association at
Huntington on Nov. 18th. Fearing
that you will pass over the reading
OF the call without giving It due at
tentlon and thought, we desire to
ask you to think what has been done
up to date.
Dam No. at Catlettsburg is com
pleted. Dam No, at Kavanaugh al
most done. Dam No. 3 at our own
door completed with the exception OF
raising It's height four and a half
feet more for, which $4,000 has
been appropriated and is available for
the work. Dam No. l in Tug fork. To-
Gated not more than four miles from
Louisa. has been secured and money
secured sufficient TO put in the lock.
Dam No. ! on Levisa Fork, not to ex-
coed eight miles from u.s., the site
already secured, and sufficient money
appropriated TO build the lock. The
money required to build the dams has
yet to be appropriated. and II be-
hooves us to give some time and at
tention TO assisting the Improve
ment Association and our members
'of Congress to secure the necessary
appropriations. Our members OF Con.
gress tell us they can work better
and with better prospects OF success
II our organization shows enough In
terest to be present at the hearings
before the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee. What is true as to them is al
SO true as to the Big Sandy I'm
provement Association. Encourage
u ny your presence.
The work to be done next should
commend itself especially to us, as
during the next two years II we all
work faithfully at least five hundred
thousand dollars. a sum larger than
the receipts Of all the stores in Lou
lea. will be expended right in our
midst And in closing. lei us urge up
on you the necessity for prompt &C
ton that viii send good 81 dele
cation to Huntington; and also be
prepared with sufficient funds to pay
the assessment OF I25 as dues from
