Old Board Retires February 1
and New Board Will Not AS
sumo Duties Until February
4 The Reason.

For three days next week Paducah
will have no board of public works.
The old board resigned, effective Feb
ruary /, and the new board, composed
of f. w. Katterjohn, Richard Rudy
and l.. +. Kolb, JT., will not be In
stalled until February 4. 1t was found
that the original board was appointed
from February 4, and since then the
members have been filling unexpired
terms. If the new members assumed
their duties February /, they would
do so as filling the unexpired term of
the old board for three days, when
they would have to be reorganized. To
save this trouble, in view of the fact
that there Is nothing of Importance
pending just now, the hiatus was suf-
fered, and the new board will start on
its appointed day. 1t will meet Feb
ruary 4 and organize by electing a
president and clerk, the latter posi-
ton naturally falling to City Auditor
Alex Kirkland, and a street inspector
e. e. Bell has been mentioned in this
connection, but 1t Is not known
whether he would accept.

Mr., Gompers was asked whether the

have suffered greatly by the closing
down OF Industrial plants and the re-

lie was, however, unable to state
the percentage OF unemployed as a re-
suit OF these conditions. He asserted
that the country was greatly helped

taken by labor unions against wage

Drillers Strike Second Stratum
of Solid Rock After Passing
Through Blue Clay at Grand
Rivers.

Operations are proceeding with
success at Grand Rivers, where the
Hlllman Land company, of ST. Louis,
Is sinking a well in anticipation of
striking oil or gas. The well has
been bored to depth of 1903 feet,
but another layer of hard rock has
been struck and the drilling does not
proceed so rapidly. Several weeks
ago the drill was. broken on hard
layer of rock. and il was repaired in
this city. This layer has been drilled
through. and the drill has gone
through a layer OF hard blue clay,
but this has been pierced and now the
drill is working on solid rock again.
II the five wells ave sunk in vain,
and a small evidence of oil or gas is
had. the operators will 'shoot" one
of the wells. Into the well at a depth
of $500 feet will be dropped 40
quarts of nitroglycerine. which Is
enough at that depth and pressure of
the earth to tear up the earth for a
half mile. II is expected when the
LIQUID strikes the bottom of the well
and explodes the conclusion may be
felt in Paducah, which is about 26
miles from the deserted city of Grand
Rivers.
Already the conclusion of the drill
on the rock is felt at a distance of a
quarter of a mile. Mr. E. II. Simon,

FORTY NEW PUPILS
FOR HIGH SCHOOL

Accommodations for the recruits to
the High school will be sufficient and
the crowded condition of \the school
of last year will be avoided. 1t is
estimated between 40 and As pupils
will be promoted from the eighth
grade to the High school, and this will
bring the enrolment over 200 stu
dents. Last summer about 290 of
the opera chairs were placed in the
auditorium, to avoid a repetition of
the confusion last year. The chairs,
while they do not occupy the same
space a desk does, have not proved
satisfactory TO the teachers, more than
to relieve the crowded condition.
