.OIL NEWS

The reports from the oil fields
showed nothing better than light
wells completed yesterday. In some
of the old districts old well were shot
and their production increased. The
failure to find new producing terri
tory and light wells has caused pro-
ducers to resort to the heroic meas.
ures to make the old wells do a little
better. Shooting, however, is of tenn.
porary benefit to old wells, for they
soon decline and are back to the point
OF production before shot.
In the Wallace district, Harrison
county, the South Penn Oil Company
shot its No. s on the T. J. Parrish
farm and it responded by producing
$50 barrels the first "a hours.
In the Garner district, Marshall
county, the same company gave its
No. 2. on the John Chapman farm, a
light shot and 1t produced 100 barrels
the first IS hours.
In the Smithfeld district, wetzel
county. the South Penn OIL Co. has
drilled its second test on the Samuel
Cummings farm SO feet into the Big
ln1un and has just a show of oil. II
is still drilling but the chances are
against its getting another pay. In
the event that 1t fails 1t will be drilled
to the Gordon.
n the same district, Miller Bros. G
Co. have drilled their test on the Levi
Shuman farm through the Gordon and
the hole has filed up 2,1oo feet with
oil. 1t will make a fair producer. In
the Fallen Timber run districts. the
Parker & Edwards Oil Co.'S No. 8. on
the D. B. Ice farm, is holing up at
30 barrels a day.
In the Salem district, Harrison u
ty, on Rock Camp run, Judge Nathan
Goh's Nc. 80. on his own farm is hold
ing up at 40 barrels a day. There is
some new work starting in that dis.
trict. Judge Con owns a large acreage
in the vicinity of the well and will
start a number Of wells at once.
Near Hebron, Meade district, Tyler
county, the Carter Oil Co. has drilled
its test well on the A. Mosser farm
through the Cow Run sand and has a
show for a light pumper. 1t will be
tested and in that formation.
In the Cairo district, Richie coun.
the Stewart United Oil Co. has
drilled its No. "a on the Hardness
tract through the Keener sand and
has a duster.

Mister Protzman Declares He Can.
not Get Justice In Morsantown.

When last seen Mister Tune Protz-
man was heading for Fairmont. That

cannot receive justice in this city.
Morgantown wishes the Marion coun.
ty hamlet joy of her acquisition.
On Tuesday evening Tune got
drunk and very noisy, SO much that
he was arrested by the police. When
hauled before Mayor Lazier yesterday
morning Tune started to tell his tale
of woe, but was cut off by his honor,
who declared that he knew all about
the matter he desired to know, end.
ing his remarks with the assertion
that a fine of s4.60 was assessed
against the prisoner. Tune got the
money together, but is angry because
he was not allowed to talk.-Morgan.

SUMNER SCHOOL ENDS.

MoRGANTowN, July 27.-Exami.
nations are now on at the Uniyer.
sity and the summer term will come
to an end on Saturday. Most of the
students will get away Saturday
morning. Some have gone already,
but they are the ones who do not
care for credit on the regular Uni.
versity course. Many of those who
have been attending expect at some
time to finish the course here and they
want credit for all they do in the
summer school.
The attendance for this summer
was 259, the high mark in the his.
tory of the summer school. All the
courses offered have been given,
most of them to large classes. The
lectures advertised have without ex.
ception been delivered and nearly all
have been pleasing and instructive.
To say that the summer school this
year has been a success in every sense
Of the term is not putting It a whit too
strong.

Lambing is progressing favorably
and the percentage of increase is
very large. In Union County
the calf crop is reported late.
Cattle round-ups are beginning
in northern counties.
Many ranchmen are done seed
ing and planting, but i'll the
higher districts and northern
counties this work continues, late
small grain, corn, cane, beans,
potatoes and gardens being
planted Wheat, rye and oats
are doing well, but gardens are
growing rather slowly owing to
the cold nights. Melon planting
has begun in the San Juan Val
ley; late potatoes are being
planted and early ones are grow
ing finely. Alfalfa continues
excellent, and cutting will begin
i'll the central counties the last of
this week; it is progressing
favorably in southern counties.
