New YOfk's Vote is Necessary.

Portland Oregonian.
 TO concede that the Republican party may lose the State of New York next wear and to treat that possible loss as a light matter Is not political good sense. The loss of the State of New York defeated Henry Clay for President in 1S44 The ioss of the State of New York defeated Caes for President in 1S4S. Hancock in 1880. Blaine in 1884 and Cleveland In 1888. It is frue that Grant was elected trlumphantly in 1868 despite the loss of New York be- fore the echoes of the drums of the Civil War had died away, but with this excep- tion since the Civil War no man has been eeleted President without obtaining the nlAetoraI vote of New York.

S1eeping-Car Charges.

The statement yesterday that an effort
was being made TO force the Pullman Com
pany to furnish upper berths in its sleeping
cars at 81 per night is an old issue revived.
In 1895 a lengthy interview was published
on the question in a Chicago paper with
Z. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the
Pennsylvania lines west, and it was mat
ter over which there was at the time consid-
cradle comment. Mr.. Ford argued that
such reduction would establish proper diff
ferential between prices OF upper and lower
berths, the lower always the more desirable
and in the greatest demand. Such reduc-
ton would be just and of benefit to the
public who are patrons of the railway and
sleeping car companies. Such. reduction
would diminish number of sleeping cars to
be hauled by the railway companies and in
crease the earnings of and bring other BEN
efts TO the Pullman Company The general
passenger agents of the various railway
companies operating Pullman sleeping cars
within the United States now have this
subject up and expect 10 be able to convince
rate should be made about % per cent less
than the lower berth. One of the greatest
benefits TO railroad men would be that it
would enable the company to take proper
care of the always increasing sleeping car
travel by fewer cars. 1t is not known what
Mr.. Ford's views are now regarding the
matter, but doubtless they are much the
same as nine years ago. That the change
would benefit the roads and permit them
all upper berths occupied, whereas
were the charge 81 per upper berth and 81
for lower, empty upper berthS would be as
popular, especially with men.

MUCH ACTIVITY IN THE
H|GH-GRADE OIL FIELDS
Two Big Companies Are Buying
Up Established Production
Good Wells in Kentucky.
THE WEEKS STATISTICS
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Speclal TO the Indianapolis Journal.
TOLEDO, o., Feb. 9-The development
of the high-grade oil fields of the United
States is being watched with keen interest
by the monied men of the country. An ex-
tensive company has been organized in
England, and now has men in the Trenton
Rock fields of Ohio getting options on some
of the best productions in the State. AS
soon as the men complete their work in
Ohio they will go to Indiana, and secure
what property they can. The company will
not go into the new fields of Kansas and
Indian Territory, as it prefers to remain
with the older fields and buy the produc
ton of those that are anxious to migrate
to the newer regions. The new corpora
tons intentions are to purchase production
and properties in large blocks, and build
two mammoth refineries. One will be 10
Gated in Ohio and the other in Indiana. Pipe
lines will be built and connections will be
made to the company's wells, as well as
to such producers as prefer to sell their
oil at an advanced price. This viii give
competition in the fields, and company
with unlimited capital viii stand a good
show of getting its share of the production.
Another company with a capital of $20,
100000 has made some large purchases in
the oil fields, but what its intentions are
remains a mystery This company has its
headquarters in New York. The new peo-
pie are working in very quiet way, and
little is known over the field of their doings.
In the leading oil fields of the country,
where a high-grade Illuminating product
is found, close TO 1.500 wells were finished
during January, and this in the face of
the extreme cold weather. This kind of
work is a good indication Of what the ac-
tivity will be when the weather is more
favorable. The work for the month of jan
uary is herewith given by States, with the
productions and failures:
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1904-02-10

The Indiana field stands foremost in pro-
duction for January, while Ohio is credited
with few more completed wells. The new
Kansas field is still mystery, and will
remain so for some time TO come. The Ken
lucky field shows more activity than ever
before, and the wells are proving more reg
ular. The Beaver Sand district, in Wayne
State, and the oil is of very fine gravity
The oil found in the well at Mill Springs
an old battlefield, is of a fOrty-two gravity,
and equal 20 anything found in the older
fields of Pennsylvania The Indiana field
according to the opinion of many of the
operators, viii be the active one for the
year, as 1T is better established than the
newer Kansas field.
The runs from the wells Of the entire
Trenton Rock oil fields of Ohio and Indiana
for the month of January show a heavy de-
weather. Operations were retarded first by
high waters and then followed by zero
weather and freezeuD that practically
stopped the industry. both in pumping wells
and those drilling. The runs for the month

The shipments of the crude product for the
month were 2,3G5,357 barrels, valued at

EXPERIENCED TRAlNMEN
RAILROADS FIND DIFFICULTY IN Sc
CURING COMPETENT HELP.
Belief that Stickncy Is Demoralizing
Rates TO Force the buying of His
Road-GeneraI Notes.

General Manager Wallace, Of the Illinois
Central. concurs in the belief that railroad
employees of the present are inferior to the
employees of few years ago. particularly
firemen, engineers and conductors He says
the tremendous growth of railroads in re-
cent years has exhausted the supply Of ex-
perienced men who thoroughly knew the
railroad business. big percentage of the
present personnel on every road has been
promoted after service of one or two years.
In time these men become experts, but at
the moment the operating expenses suffer
increase for this reason. According to one
of the highest Western railroad authorities
ii takes five years to make a thorough rail-
road man; formerly a principle of careful
selection prevailed, but the rush for help
has caused this plan to be abandoned TO a
great extent, and ut present il is difficult
for a railroad to get efficient employees.
