BORING FOR OIL.
Excitement i'm Polk County-Aug=
ust Fischer Interested.

Angus Fisher of this city is
very much interested in the ''o1l
fever" that has recently develop
ed in Dallas, near which place
Mr.. Fisher recently invested in 3
$40. 600 farm. The boring for
oil is On place ouly Que and a
half miles from the property
owned by the Corvallis capitalist,
all OF which is justification for
his deep interest In the subject.
A dispatch from Dallas says of
the matter:
Polk county again has the oil
fever. B. F. Whiteaker, living
three miles southeast OF Dallas,
was in town last Saturday max
ing financial arrangements t.
commence borings on his farm
again, near the abandoned well
bored in 1902. Mr.. Whiteaker
is confident of success. He says
if the borings in the old we'll
had been big enough success
would have been achieved then,
but at depth of about 100 feet,
with the snlallness OF the hole, a
slight crook in the c sing made
operations impos> ible, and tine
we'll was abaudoned. Joseph
Hirshberg, of Independence, Mr..
Whiteaker saws, will be associa-
ted with him in the present Dor
ing, as he was in the first Mr..
Hirshberg will start tor the oil
fields of California on Wednes-
day to hire competent man
with an outfit to bore a12 inch
we'll, and in case this cannot be
done, will purchase tue necessary
machinery and tools to do the
work and ship them Immediately
here. The oil we'll is consider
ed valuable property from the
fact that at depth of several
hundred fe-t salt water was found
of a very good grade and to all
appearances N inexhaustible
quantities. This the owners de-
clare. will evaporate into car
loads OF the very purest and finest
salt.

McnHENY CAMPAIGN
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION LEC-
 TURING THROUGH SOUTH.
Wants White People of His Section to Re Encouraged to stand Examina- tions for Positions With
 Government.

Washington April 12.-Civil Service Commissioner McIiheny. who is a Southerner and Democrat, is entering upon what he terms campaign of edu- cation in the South in regard to the function and character of the commits sion.
 He found that one of the greatest difficulties in securing efficient service for the Government in the South was the fact that the whites have conceived the idea that the service is meant es- pecially for the negroes and as a con sequence, when an examination for po sitions is held, itMs generally attended largely by negroes, the proportion of- ten being ten to one. This condition Is not regarded by the commission as strenuously to counteract 1t.
 While fin Louisiana recently he con- ferred with the State authorities and addressed the State Teachers Associa- ton, explaining the situation with the result that he secured a promise that course should be established in the schools looking to the preparation of applicants for civil service employment He also found that there was a feel ing that only Republicans could se- cure position under the Government re- gardless of the law end found oppor- tunity to correct this view.
 We are not seeking to discredit the negro" he said in discussing the mat ter, but rather to set the whites right, We want to correct erroneous opinions and to administer the law impartially to all. white and black. Democrats and Republicans"

WOULD CHANGE NAMES.
Bryce Wants Reform in the Nomencla-
 ture of Cities.


 Washington, April 13.-James Bryce, the new Ambassador to the United States from Great Britain, says he Is a reformer, but that should he at any time be inclined to embark upon a re- form movement, it would be in the direction of a revision of names for American and Canadian cities.
 He says he especially abhors dupli cations as they lead to confusion in the mails and telegraph. While in Canada recently he wrote a number of dis patches to his Government and ad- dressed them to London, and the dis patches went to London, in Ontario, Canada.
 Now he is convinced that there should be but one London in the world. Like wise. he believes there should be but one Washington, and he was surprised to learn that there are dozen States in this country that have cities of that name. The Ambassador Is of the opin- ion that there Is no occasion for dupli- cation in the United States and Canada, as the Indians have provided an un- limited supply of musical names that may be given to cities. rivers or other geographical points.
 The wisest thing the people of To- ronto. Canada, ever did. says Mir. Bryce, was to adopt the present name of the city in the place of York" by which the settlement was first called.

A Wave of Reforn


 indications are that the present ad- mintstration of the city government in tends to look closely to the moral well fare of the city. Of late several ar rests have been made by the police department which gives color to the fact that a wave of reform will be in- stituted. The police department Is keeping close lookout for anything of a croked nature and whenever they run upon anything an arrest follows.
 It was reported today that the po- lice department had arrested num- Der of young men whose names were not given out. It was intimated that these young men were in some way connected with gaming houses and that an effort would be made to break up these establishments. Among the re- cent reform movements inaugurated by the police department was the raid ing of the pool rooms of the city some weeks ago and the breaking up of many Kelley" pool games. This was followed during the early part of the week by the arrest of two well known Birmingham gamblers who had come to Selma for the purpose of operating a roulette wheel and crap game during the festival
