Producers are more interested
in the continued decline of the oil
market than field developments.
The effect of the former on the
industry is so far-reaching in the
eastern fields that it has a de-
pressing influence on both pro-
Queer and operator. There is so
little doing in development work
that that branch of the industry
claims the attention of none but
those directly interested in the
wells now drilling in the various
fields. The depression of the mar
ket is felt by every producer, and
the owner of small wells is the
most sorely tried at this time. In
old territory, where the wells do
not average more than one-half
barrel a day, the income is greatly
reduced and the cost Of operating
the wells not decreased. The cut
of two cents from the price of
high grade crude instead of three
cents, inspires the hope that pos
sibly it has now almost touched
bottom for the present at least.
1t is well understood that there
is little territory in the lower
southwest that can be operated
on the present price of crude. OPP
orators claim that the price of
drilling material and machinery is
just as high now as when the
market was at it's highest. The
average size of new wells has
been growing smaller and the eff
forts to find new producing terri
tory capable of furnishing a
higher average production have
not materialized. Development
work in the lower southwest has
reached that point where the
drilling in of well with an mi
tial production of 100 barrels a
day is regarded as something out
Of the ordinary. At present there
are not dozen wells in the West
Virginia fields that have an in
dividual production of 100 or
more barrels a day. Shooting, for
a short time, increases the produc-
ton of some above that point, but
in a few days they subside to or
below their previous production.
Southeastern Ohio cannot lay
claim to a single we'll that is now
producing 100 or more barrels a
day. This is a condition almost
unprecedented in that producing
section.

For some months there has been
a marked falling off in develop
ment work in the shallow sand dis
trictS. Under existing conditions
this class Of territory should hold
out special inducements for the
reason that it can be operated at
less outlay than in the deep terri
tory. Scarcity of, producing ter
ritory and the fact that the old
fields have been thoroughly devel-
oped has caused a decline in new
work. There is not a locality out
side Of Calhoun county that is
claiming any attention. In the
last-namcd county there are Wild
cat operations, inspired by the
hope finding a new pool. Oper-
ations on the Ohio side have stead
lily declined. The declining of
the old pools and the failure to
find new IS responsible for the
slump. The work under way is
scattered over wide area and
consists principally of drilling old
locations in the old fields. There
are no new pools to stimulate new
work. Southeast Of Jerusalem, in
Monroe county, Ohio, the South
ern Oil Company's Big Lime pro.
Queer on the W. E. Moore farm,
is holding up at 65 barrels day,
and it is hoped that this strike
may lead up to the development
of a pool.

Lllmbermen Forced to Drop

Death From Fierce Blaze
Special Dispatch to The Call

GRANTS PASS. Or, Aug. 1S.-De-
structive forest fires have again broken
out in the woods OF Josephine County.
The forests on Rogue River near the
Smith sawmill, five miles below Grants
Pass, are being destroyed. Workmen
and lumbermen from the timber belt
came into this city yesterday, many or
them with their clothes scorched and
burned. The horses which some OF
them rode to escape the FIRE were so
badly burned thev had to be shot All
OF the lumbermen lost their clothing
and other property kept in the cabins,
as they were obliged to leave every
thing and run from the roaring flames.
At Smiths mill the cabins, bunk
house and boarding house. as well as
the timber surrounding the mill, were
destroyed. The fire swept down upon
the mill Ia great sheets. jumping rap
idly from tree to tree. The entire for
est was covered with blanket of flame
within half an hour from the time the
fire was first discovered. A great num-
ber of the lumbermen escaped death
by dropping in holes of water and into
the Rogue River until the first death
dealing sweep of the flames had passed
Woodsmen. lumbermen and ranchers
residing in the tinbered section along
Rogue River below here are fleeing
from the fire. Thousands of acres OF
ground that was covered with standing g
pine and tir IS now a vast stretch OF
smoldering logs and burning trees. The
hot breath from the flame kills all veg
citation within a mile of the fire.
Fields of green alfalfa. orchards and
vineyards are cIarred and dried UP by
the intense heat. Living in that Sec
tion Is intolerable.
The smoke from the forest fires has
become so dense over Grants Pass that
the nearby hills are obScured from
view, and the sun shines but dimly
through the pail. Unless there is rain
soon, or a cessat tion of the heavy north
wind, the entire mountain region OF
Southern Oregon will be in danger of
destruction by fire

Gambling Checked, the Dives
Closed and Movement on
Foot to Limit Saloons
MINERS NOW SAVE COIN
Boycott Against Low Resorts
Proves Profitable to Men
and Is Made Permanent
MINERS NOW SAVE COIN
Special Dispatch to The Cali

PHOENIX, A. T, Aug. IA wave of
reform is spreading over Arizona.
Many of the county Boards of Super
visors have passed ordinances making
it q misdemeanor for any saloon to con-
duct a gambling game. Even cards
and dice games for drinks are pro-
hibited The penalty is the forfeiture
OF the license.
In Jerome the saloons employed nom
union men and as a consequence the
Miners Union declared boycott. This
was so completely carried out that it
put gambling out of business. When it
was found that the men had saved
thousands Of dollars thereby it was
agreed TO continue the good work To-
day there is but one game running in
the big copper city.
At Seligman, where a few months ago
saloons were employing number of
men each and games were receiving
considerable patronage, the owners are
now doing their own work and the
games are closed. This state of affairs
was brought about by the defalcation
of an agent of the Santa Fe Railroad,
who afterward committed suicide in
this city TIE money was lost over the
suit any railroad man caught patroniz-
ing these places is summarily dis
charged.
In Douglas, where things are sup
posed TO be wild and woolly. the dive
saloons are to be suppressed. Follow
ing this UP effort is to be made in
all incorporated towns to limit the
number of saloons and place them un-
der police regulations.
