is IMPORTANT MARK FOR DE
VELoPMENT in THIS PART
OF THE STATE.

HUNTINGTON, Oct. 19-what is
said to be the largest producing oil
well in, southern West Virginia. was
struck in the Lincoln county field last
Friday by the Columbia Gas Company.
The well is on the L. D. w. Dawson
farm, on Four MEle creek. of Gulan
river. five miles from Branehy post
Office.
The VIII is in line with the cabel
field. and is believed to be an extern
sion OF that pool. 1t is in the lime. AMI
began to flow when the tools struck
the. sand. The company had no cas-
ing caps on hand at the time, and con
sequently several hundred gallons OF
oil were lost during the first two days
the well flowing every two or three
hours.
The oil fraternity has been looking
for some time for an extension OF the
Milton pool, and this may be the way
the oil goes. At the same time 1t is
directly southwest OF the newly devel.
oped Griifithsyille field. and may mark
an extension OF the pool there. Atany
rate the well is an important marker
OF the new development now going on
in this end Of West Virginia.

YOUR W|FE'S
EASTER HAT

Chicago, March Sad will be
the lot of the husband this year
when comes his time for buying
an Easter hat for his better half,
according to the statement made
by Madame Hunt, president of the
National Milliners' association, at
the spring convention last night.
The average woman is likely to
have but one hat this spring,
while she had two last season.
This on account of the advance in
price of millinery goods. Nine.
Hunt stated that there is an adj
vance of from 90 to 80 per cent in
all lines. One of the most strik-
ing features in new styles is the
new automobile hat, which, Nine.
Hunt said, is the first real dressy
automobile hat ever discovered,
and which has been found after
years of search. Large hats are
much sought after, but the small
ones are the more conservative
and will suit the suggestion of
whatever the day may be. There
will be many red hats, soft cherry
red, for early wear; also violet,
heliotrope and solid flower hats.

POSTAL CLERKS
GET A RAISE.

Washington. The postoiiice APP
preparation bill, the largest ever
reported from the committee on
postofllces and postroads, has
passed the house.
All the PROVISIONS relating to
increase pay, affecting 80 per cent
of the postal employees, which
were stricken out on points of
order, were later restored to the
bill. This action was accom-
plished by a rule presented by the
committee on rules after the bill
had been reported to the house by
the committee of the whole.
BY the terms of the amendments,
seven grades of clerks are estab-
lished with salaries ranging from
5000 to $1,000. City letter carriers
are divided into five grades, with
salaries ranging from 5000 to
$1100, the $500 salary being omit
ted. Railway mail clerks are
divided into six grades below that
of the chief clerk, salaries in each
grade being increased 800 and
ranging from $500 to $1700. The
maximum salary is fixed at $840
for rural carriers.
Two new provisions are added,
one providing that the postmaster
general may in his discretion al
low a railway mail clerk 80 days
sick leave. in any fiscal year with
pay, his duty to be performed
without expense to the govern
ment during the period for which
he is granted leave, and the other
that carries who, on June 80, 1907,
are regularly employed at $500
per annum shall be promoted to
the fourth grade upon satisfactory
evidence of their efficiency during
at least one years service.
