ICE MAN LOSES
! HIS POPULARITY
COAL DEALER OBTAINS VARIETY
OF WEATHER THAT BRINGS
JOY TO HIS HEART.

Shivering humanity in Columbia
Monday testified to the change
i'll the temperance that came without
warning. like the thief in the night.
When the people awoke they discov-
cred that since they went to bed the
temperature had taken a slump of
something like, thirty degrees and
had dropped into the forties. There
was Immediately hurrying to boxes
and closets and last winters vests,
redolent with the odor of moth balls,
were pulled out, the straw hat was
discarded and sleeveless underwear
and gauze coats suddenly lost all of
their charm.
Crates having been stuffed up to
prevent the ravages of chimney swal-
lows and stoves having been removed
to the woodshed fires were few and
far between and the kitchen stoves
proved to be the greatest attraction of
the household. No provision what
ever having been made for heating the
offices and business houses, those who
had to tear themselves away from the |
kitchen stove in order to attend to the
luties of the day shivered through the
ong hours of the morning.
In the meantime the coal man wears
| smile that has not Illuminated his
ace since lingeree waists and peek
boo hose became the style, while the
&c man is almost inconsolable. For
months he has been the most popular
md the most sought after Individual
n the community. but his days are
numbered and his enviable place is
bout to be usurped by his ancient
nemy the purveyor of coal.

WORTH AS
MUCH AS STEERS
TWO LONGING TO PHOSPHATE
MAN BRING $45 ON LOCAL
MARKET.

In these days of high prices an ordi-
nary hog is worth more than a big
steer and the farmer with hogs is
strictly in it. Two hogs sold at the
Columbia Stock Yards Monday for
$4,000, and they were not very large
hogs either, weighing about 375
pounds each. The hogs were brought
in by T. F. Bell, who lives about four
miles south of Columbia, Mr.. Bell
brought in twenty-six head altogether
and received $3.50. He is not farm
er, but a phosphate man and simply
raised the hogs as side line.

BOYLE HAD
FINE TINE IN THE EAST

Alderman l.. P. Boyle returned home
ern trip, divided about equally be-
tween points in Iowa and in St. Louis
and vicinity. Mr.. Boyle says that
there has been excessive rainfall dur
ing the last few months throughout
the state OF Iowa and that agriculture
has suffered considerably on that ac-
count.
The Mississippi river was "a feet
above low water mark at St. Louis
during his stay there and that con-
siderable damage was entailed in the
neighborhood of the city. particularly
on the Illinois side of the river. st.
Louis. according to Mr. Boyle, is one
OF the most thrifty and substantial of
western cities and has a population
approximating 100000 people. As
showing the value of down town prop
erty there Mr.. Boyle relates that a
friend of his pays an annual rental of
$500 for a business room 25x 70 feet
in size at the corner of Washington
avenue and Seventh street and Gin
siders himself luck to get it at that
price. The agents of the property
wanted a rental of S11 900 per annum
for the property, but Mr.. Boyle's
friend succeeded in getting it at the
cheaper figure by agreeing to fit it
up at his own expense and sign a con-
tract to keep 1t for a long series of
years.

WELL GIVES UNMISTAKABLE
TRACES OF COAL OIL

C. F. Pressey owns a quarter sec
ton of land three miles north of town
sixty acres of which has been plant
ed to orchard. He has long been per-
suaded from a study OF the geology
of the surrounding country that ar
tesian water is to be had there at
a depth of from four TO six hundred
feet below the surface, and with that
conviction in mind recently sunk an
eight inch well there to a depth of
three hundred and twenty-five feet to
ascertain the truth, or falsity of his
theory.
The drill passed through 36 feet Of
earth, then entered a limestone stra-
tum. which had a thickness at that
point OF 234 feet. Trenton shale was
next encountered and continued for
55 feet when water was tapped and
rose to % feet of the top of the well.
At the Instance OF Mr.. PTessey the
Leader Hardware company last Sat-
urday installed force pump at the
we'll to find out Its capabilities for
irrigation.
For an hour q continuous stream OF
clear. tasteless water was brought to
the surface without any apparent d.
denly became clouded and polluted
with unmistakable evidences Of Pc
troleum.
No casing was put into the well
through the Trenton stratum and the
shale has since caved in, rendering
1t impossible to continue pumping op-
erations. Mr.. Pressey Is arranging to
have a new well sunk with an initial
diameter OF l0k inches, which will
be reduced to Sh inches below the
limestone and to 6A inches In the
shale. .
The government geological survey
shows that there Is q great dip in the
limestone formation at the place
where Mr.. Pressey proposes sinking
the new well and 1t is confidently be-
lleved that underneath 1t lies an
abundance OF water and perhaps pc
troleum.
The discovery made by Mr.. Pres
sey Is a valuable one as 1t shows the
existence Of both water and oil under
the Trenton stratum In the territory
north OF town. The sinking of the
proposed well by MIR. Pressey will be
watched with interest by the people
Of Park Center. Orchard Park and
the neighboring country.

KILLED AT PORTLAND
WEDNESDAY MORNING

Capistra Concezio. an Italian, aged
about 90 years, was instantly killed
at the Portland Cement company's
plant at Portland about 7:30 o'clock
Wednesday morning by accidentally
falling from a platform in the grind
ing department to the rock-like ce-
ment floor some 25 feet below. An in
vestigation of the matter by Coroner
Whitmore showed that nobody was to
blame, but the young man himself.
who was not sufficiently careful to
properly guard himself against dan
ger in his exposed position. Conce-
zio was empolyed in oilfng the ma
chinery near the roof of the building
when he was caught in some way with
one of the chains used in propeIling
the machinery and thrown to the floor
with great force. The top of his head
was crushed in and he was other
wise seriously bruised.
The cause of death was SO apparent
that formal inquest was not deem
ed necessary by the coroner. The par
ents of the deceased live at Carmanica,
in the prefect of Chicti. Italy. Tho
were taken to Pueblo, the
home of the deceased, and were bur
led in Rose Lawn cemetery there this
afternoon.

ANOTHER IRRIGATION PROJECT
FOR PREMONT COUNTY


An irrigation project OF some mo-
ment about which little has so far
been printed, is being carried through
to successful completion about one
and one-half miles south OF Florence
and about half a mile northeast of
Coal Creek.
The scheme is the reclamation of
eighty acres of semi-arid land bought
some months ago by ]. Victor Nc
Candless and John Miner. They are
putting in a very adequate and alto
gether up to date irrigation system,
and although small as compared with
some of the other systems just put
in in this part of the state, the sys-
tenn or plant will supply more water
than will be actually needed for the
land that is to be reclaimed.
The waters of East Coal Creek have
been filed on and the company has q
perfect water right. which will pro-
tect them from loss Of crops at all
times.
This year has probably put the wat
er supply to the hardest test 1t will
ever have, and even under the present
existing conditions more water Is hoW-
ing down the creek than would irrt-
gate the so acres.-Florence Tribune.
