The price of oil is soaring downward
these days at the rate of cents a clip.
Within the past few weeks two cuts of 8
cents each have been made, leaving the
price at Sl.4S for the Pennsylvania pro-
duct. The producer is hard hit, and the
worst of 1t is the fear that he may get
still harder jolt.

These remarks from wise exchange
apply with equal force in all well reg
ulated newspaper offices: Once in a
while our friends enable us to get out an
extra good local paper. some days they
tell us "a whole lot of news" and tickle |
us half to death by shooting personals
and other items so fast that it keeps the
office force we'll nigh in despair getting 1t |
all put in the paper Other days our
friends are not quite so full of news and
the paper is not so full of it either. But
the point is that It all depends upon our
friends not upon the editor or reporters.
We know nothing except what people tell
us. OF course there are days when moth
ing happens, when the best OF people |
can't find anything to tell the reporter.
And in such a case, of course, our friends |
will not get out as good a paper as on
days when there is more doing. But 1t
is, sfter all, our friends paper, not ours.
Dick Manning made trip to Fox
burg Friday in company witha special
officer of the p. r. r. He was In search
of missing row boat he lost several days
ago from its moorings above Siverly. He
had received tip that a camping party,
making short jumps while enroute down
the river, had two boats, one of which
answered the description of his. From
Foxburg the young man and the officer
walked up the river and about half way
to Emlenton came upon the camp. The
party was composed of fellow named
Sslsgiver, two young Indians and wo-
man. Only the Indians were in the rag
ged tent. They disclaimed any knowl-
edge of the stolen boat, which was tied to
the bank of the river. One of the young
men was taken to Emlenton, but when
about to be turned over to the authorities
he begged so pitifully to be set at liberty
Mr. Manning relented and told him to
return to the camp. The Indian promised
faithfully before being set at liberty he
would take the boat to Foxburg and give
it in charge of the P. r. R. agent to be
shipped to Oil City.-Blizzsrd.
The recent arrest of Titusville people
and Pittsburg man for selling game
birds, has caused gunners to be careful
and some of them have even got the idea
that game cannot be given away. There
