The Way 1t Originated,

Jack Robinson" has long beeri
a favorite synonym for rapidity #
speech or action, but probably few
people who use the phrase are aware
that Jack Robinson was a real, live
person. 'As a politician says Lady
Dorothy NeviH in her Reminiscent
es," Jack Robinson was great
favorite with George III, His po-
litical career was long, for he was
a member for Harwich during twenty
six years, being on one occasion bit
terly attacked by Sheridan. who,
denouncing bribery and its instisa-
tors, replied to the cries of Name,
Name, by pointing to Robinson
on the treasury bench, eXclaiming
at the same time: Yes, could name
him as soon as ! could say Jack
Robinson, and thus originated the
present saying still current at rne

OIL DEVELOPMENT
Begun In Wayne County, West
Virginia.

The Guyan Oil Company, whose
chief offices are located in Hunting
ton, has begun extensive operations
In Wayne county, W. Va, and two
test wells have already been started
These wells ar located near Dunlow,
one being on top of the mountain
at the head of Sycamore creek, the
ether at the forks of Rich creek,
a few miles east. 49,. .....
This is considered the finest
prospecting territory in the county,
with the possible exception of the
Warfield gas belt, which lies partly
in the southern corner. -.
Some time ago { test well was
drilled on Sycamore creek, near
the site of the well now being drill
eJ on the mountain. There was a
limited showing of oil found In this
well, and a flow of gas which placed
in the list of profitable gas pro-
ducers. The well was plugged. A
pipe has been extended from the
old we'll TO the hilltop and gas there
from is being used as fuel in the
work of drilling tie old well, A
test well drilled in the towL of
Dunlow four years ago also proved
a good gasser, and today supplies
the town for domestic purposes.
The Guyan Oil Company has
number of valuable leases in this
territory. The wells now being drill
eo are a very short distance south
OF the Eureka pipe line which car

CITY DOES A $4,000
MAN, TAPPING BUSINESS
BUT OFFICIAL DENIES MUCH PROFIT IS BEING
DERIVED

A citizen who had the city water
construction department make a
three-Quarter inch tap at 1925 Wal
ton avenue complains that the bill
rendered for the service, $17.05, is
excessive. Some of the men en-
ployed on the job laid around in
the shade of the house." said he,
land then turned in a bill for twice
the amount of time actually en-
ployed on the job. Then I was
charged seven cents per foot for
three-quarter inch pipe, that sells
downtown at five cents per foot
Investigation of the records Of
the water construction department
shows that 4S feet of pipe were
used, for which a charge of 1886
was made; that a lead connection
cost $3.50, a curb cock 81, a street
box s1.25, a six inch saddle for the
main 81. In the labor charge $1.35
was assessed for team two hours
to haul the equipment to and from
the Job; that $3.50 was charged for
the time of the foreman and the
man who tapped the main, and that
$3.50 was charged for digging the
48 feet of trench, or 10 cents per
foot.
Alex. w. McCallum, bookkeeper
OF the water construction depart
ment, makes this statement:
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-09-10

1--WE know that the main tapping
is being done for much less than
1t could be made If the work was
hired done by plumbers or others.
1t is aimed to do the work for the
water consumers at cost, and in
order to reduce the expense we
buy our pipe and material by the
carload. Last year we made over
1000 taps and did a business of
$4,000 at an expense of about
$4,000, leaving a gross profit for
the city of about $500, which Is a
mere fraction when you consider
that the city guarantees the con-
nection and makes good all breaks.
The bill cited is on an average
with such bills for the distance
covered. The pipe used was the
best that could be bought and not
the cheaper grades that sell for
less.
IF there is any soldering IN
the main tapping work we are
glad to hear of it, as the foremen
on such jobs are charged with
seeing that result are secured and
that honest work is done. AS proof
Of this there is not one kick in a
hundred jobs, and the consumer is
usually fair enough when shown
the facts In the case"
