IPON the east branch of the Saco,

Upon the east branch of the Saco,
away up under the shadow of Dou-
bIehead, Elias Towle built his cabin, and
then commenced the work of clearing
the forest about it.
His family consisted of wife and
two small children, boy and a girl.
The former was five and the latter three
years of age.
Early and late the pioneer worked at
his task, and one after another of the
forest trees went laundering to the
ground letting in the golden sunlight
where shadows had reigned before.
Thus through the summer he labored
on increasingly, only quitting his work
long enough TO care for the little patch
of corn which he had planted in the
springtime, and to keep themselves we'll
supplied with game, with which the for
est abounded, or with delicious speckled

WESTERLY
BANK HAD
OIL STOCK

washington, Feb. 2s--A new turn was
given yesterday 70 the fight Of Kansas
against the Standard oil combination by
the officers OF the state legislature send
ing telegams 70 Speaker Cannon ana
other members OF the house protesting
against the renewal OF the Foster lease
The lease is now controlled by the
Indian Territory Illuminating OIL COM
pany and embraces some 100000 acres
OF land in the osage Indian reservation.
The ground OF protest against " is tnat
the Illuminating company Is ono or the
large number OF Standard oil Subsidiary
concerns, and that It Is trying TO monopo-
lixe the oil business IN Indian Territory
and Oklahoma.
A news dispatch from the Indian Ter
rftnry alleged that w. J. Bryan, Chair
man Taggart OF the Democratic national
committee, Col NJ. ]. Guffey or Pitts
burg, the head OF the Democratic organ
ization IN Pennsylvania. Senator PEN
rose, Representative Sibley and other
politicians OF national fame were inter
ested IN the lease as stockholders.
In answer 10 that charge, Representa-
tive Vreeland OF New York tomorrow Will
dle lists OF the stockholders OF the IL
Illuminating OIL company With the Indian
pomrnittee OF tho two houses. He exhibited
tina nst 10 q number OF members 10 show
that there IS no truth in tho allegation
from Kansas
A WILDCAT FIELD.
Ths list was made by the Corporation
Trust company, transfer agent OF the
oil company, and shows the stockholders
OF record ON Nov. is last. the latest COM
pifation In existence. Tho names OF not
one OF the men named appear as stock
holders OF the company which owns the
laaes but constituents OF the congrsss-
man mentioned are among tho lessees of
tho Illuminating OH company
1.-THE Standard has not n penny In
vested In tho indian Territory field" said
Representative Vreeland yesterday. What
ss stranger still is that Il does not own
a single lease. There IL no other field
that has such distinction. Tho Standard
bas at least a lease I'm every other field.
The truth about the matter Is that the
STANDARD regarded tho territory such a
'wildcnt that IL paid absolutely no atten-
zion 20 IL.
Foster. the man who got the original
lease. had a brother who controlled a
savings hank at Westerly r. l. The
bank backed him 10 such an extent that
1t had 20 close its doors IL appears In
the list OF stockholders as the owner OF
900, 900 shares OF the capital stock.
II imagine the depositors ot that bank
would be very glad TO learn that the
Standard is back of the Illuminating COM
pany. They might then hope to get some
OF their money
THE territory was such a poor thing
that even after oil was found II was
given away. When the owners OF the
lease did get a spur OF n railroad into
the territory the rate OF 45 cents n bar
rel was absolutely ruinous.
Recently. however. the company has
induced the Standard 10 lay n pipe line
10 the field and something is coming back
on the original investment The com
pany has gone broke three times In trying
TO develop the field"

CONTRACT

wasnfngton. Tcb. 0-.Another confer
ence between Seorrtsry Morton and Of
foers OF the Audvsle steel company has
brought forth decision that mo com
pany shall be given portion. 1000 out OF
5000 tons, OF tho contract for the errnor
plats for the tattinst1p View Hampshire
and the cruisers Montana and North
Carolina.
When the tsds were originally opened
n was fctind that the nSidvsls oonceru's
bid VIA far and away lower than that of
the other two companies. which furnished
IDENTICAL bids.
A board was appointed TO iuvestssate
the capacity OF the Nidvals plant, ths
belief being chat the concern was not pos
sessed OF the facilities for turning out the
srmor on contract time The board re-
ported adversely TO the Midvsle recon-
mending that the company be given none
OF the contracts.
Members of this board were in ct
tendance at the conference yesterday be-
tween Secretary Morton and President
Harran. Vice President Sullivan and En-
g1neer Petre Of the Midvsle company. Tho
members OF tho board II is said. stood
firm on their former decision that Mid
vale could not handle the contract.
Secretary Morton, however. decided 90
give the Midvale at least the chance
Its officers craved, and had directed that
a contract be made with Midvale for 1000
tons OF ths armor.
The department Will make tho contract
with the provision that the company live
UP 10 Its present contract for armor for
the battleships Idaho and mississippi let
in 1903. and deliveries OF which are 10
begin I'm a few months.
The new contract does not call for de-
liveries until the latter part of 1906.
What effect the decision OF yesterday
will have on the investigation of armor
plate contracts now being conducted in
the house committee on naval affairs is
problematical.
IL IL quite probable. however. that the
members OF tho committee who have Sc
cured all OF the correspondence concern
ing the matter from the navy depart
ment will probe into the matter and reach
their conclusions just a. II there had been
no change in the situation.
The original questio<s. with the commit
tee was why Midvale was not awarded
the contract in view OF tho fact that its
aggregate bid was about 10000 less
than that OF it's competitors.

DR.. J. Rinehart, of Frizellburg, left at the
ADVOCATE on Thursday an exhibit of corn
seed he had tested under the Prof. Shamel
system, which was so lucidly explained in this
paper of April Is. Last fall DR.. Rinehart
selected his seed corn, and spread it out IN a
loft. To test it he selected Is ears at random,
and took FIVE grains from each ear. In box
he placed some damp sawdust. Over this he
spread piece of common muslin, marked on
to indicate the different varieties. Over this
he laid the corn for testing, and over this a
covering of common muslin. Every grain
sprouied well. The roots went down through
the cotton into the sawdust. The roots were
from six to eight inches. The result of the
Doctor experiment can be seen at this office
for the next two or three days.
