With only six weeks intervening be-

Needham reminding him OF the urgent
necessity of obtaining grounds for prac-
tice. President Needham communicated
with Secretary Holmes of the university.
and, after explaining the situation fully,
instructed the secretary to go ahead and
arrange for a field. Mr. Holmes has
taken steps 10 obtain the use OF Van

letic field for the university for the last
few years.
Build Next Spring.
Van Ness Park was turned over to the
government on the first Of June and plans
have been prepared for the erection of a
building for the Bureau of American Re

the officials who have the erection of the
building in hand to obtain the use Of the
grounds this fan for the use Of the foot
ball team. as 1t is understood that the
work on the building will not be COM
menced until next spring.
Should Secretary Holmes be successful
in his effort TO obtain the use Of the
grounds, there VIII be quite a feeling of
relief in the minds of those who follow
the fortunes of the university in athletics,
for, should he fail, it means that the in
stitutiOn will be absolutely without repre-
sentation on the gridiron this fall, as
there does not seem to be any other avail

The matter Of the selection OF a coach

OIL WELLS IN THE ApeNNlNEs
French Corporation Obtains Valuable
Concessions From Italy.

Rome.--The existence of deposits
of petroleum of considerable import
ance Is not generally known even to
the Italians.
AS early as 1898 French company
obtained concession from the Italian
government to explore certain tract
In the Apennines, near Piacenza, and
to exploit any deposits OF petroleum
found there. The success of this com.
pany was sufficient to cause the form.
alton of another French syndicate four
years ago and last July these two
were absorbed by Genoese company
with capital of $3,0OO,O00. The wells
already bored are some 95 In number,
OF which 20 are practically exhausted.
The remaining 25 produced about 49,
100000 pounds of crude oil in 1905,
and with the eight wells now boring
it is expected that the total produc-
tion for 1906 will reach over 1000 900
pounds. The concession Of the new
company comprises about H. 900 acres
and, as 1t Is said to be all petroleum
bearing, great development of this
industry may be expected in the next
few years.
The wells, none of which are "gush.
ers," reach maximum depth Of 1.30e
feet and the engineers in charge say
that those which are exhausted may
be made to yield again by deepening.
This has not as yet been undertaken,
perhaps because by the terms of the

central motor is used to operate by
means OF cables the pumps of the
