SOME EVIDENCE OF OIL

Columbus, Miss, March 10.-(Special)- Fayette, Fayette county. Alabama, 4s miles east of Columbus and 30 miles west of Birmingham, directly on the line of the Southern railway, was visited by sev- eral business men of Columbus yesterday afternoon This is the town which about a month ago came into notice on ac- count of gas wells being abundant and the potential possibility of oil wells being soon gushing there. One of the gentle men from this city says you can hear the well blowing for about mile He says it sounds like big engine puffing and blowing as hard as 1t can. This comes from the exhaust, which the own- CTS are afraid to cap. The main well is capped and this is just left open to af- ford a relief on the main drills and pipes underground.
 The company struck another oil we'll yesterday and this morning there is a good deal of excitement on the streets about another company which is being organized to bore down on Coal Fire creek. in Pickens county, about 30 miles southeast from Columbus. The Fayette county wells are between Sipsey river. which rises in the Alabama hills, just north of Bayette, and the Luxapilila creek, which rises near Fayette and flows down near Columbus, Fayette, Ala, is situated just between these two streams It is in sort of a valley with the rivers and hills on either side.
 The soil formation and geographical location impressed tho experts which Con- gressman Hobson brought there last sum- mer to such an extent that they make tests and were soon convinced that gaa and oil were both there. The Birming- ham company got control of almost all the land anywhere near Fayette. They are said to hold mineral rights on up wards of aoOoO acres near the scene oi borings.
 Other companies are being formed and securing options on all land near Sipsey river. Luxapilila creek and Coal Fire creek All these streams have theii sources in Fayette county and flow south. westerly toward the Tombigbee.
 The formation of all the soil in both Tayette and Pickens county Is said te be of about the same variety. Manl 1 Columbus promoters have goue to Fay

The Strike h Trenton

Trenton, N. J., March 1o-6everal minor disturbances occurred in different parts of this city today in connection with the strike of motormen and conductors of the Trenton Street Railway company, which began last night. A half dozen ar rests have been made.
 The car company claims 1t is running more than % of It's 70 cars.
 Some of the older employees of the com pany refused to join the new union or ganixed here and these are the men who are running the cars in service.
 The company has agreed to shorter hours but will not recognize the union nor will 1t increase the wages of the employees.
 There is not a trolley car running in Trenton tonight. General Manager Hur- lev of the company notified Mayor Mad den of his intention to stop running the cars and gave as a reason the fear that the cars would be attacked after night fall. Mayor Madden informed Mir Hur- lev that it is the company's duty to keep the cars in operation. Mir. Hurley also asked the mayor to swear in special dni- cers but this the mayor declined to do. He said the police department was able to handle the situation
 There was no disorder this afternoon.

 The statement insists that the respon- sibility is not upon the police alone, but upon the heads of the city government behind them, and upon the officials of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company who refuse to grant arbitration.
 Strike Has Just Begun
 As to the general situation the commit tee said:
 'sThe general strike of labor in Phil adelphia has just begun. We are hourly receiving assurances from hundreds and thousands of men and women who say they are willing to quit work and join in the strike.
 Asked what effect this afternoons incl dent would have on statewide strike, c. o. Pratt, the carmen's leader, said:
 Tt cannot help but advance the Idea and crystalline the sentiment regaro- ing it."
 "Are you personally in favor of state wide striker he was asked
 "Only as a last resort was the reply. We do not favor strikes and only call them when compelled to do so," he con- cluded.
 For the first time since the strike was declared the process of injunction was invoked today Curiously enough the in- Junction was not an outgrowth of the present strike movement. It was ob tained originally by J. R. Kefrmack, worsted manufacturers, during labor trou- bles year ago. The formal writ of in- junction, however. was not served at the time, the trouble having quickly sub sided.
 Today the firm, complaining that It's hands were being interfered with 1y pickets, obtained copies of the old in- junction for immediate service upon all concerned with the present troubles at the firms mills.

PRoGREssIyEs LOOK GOOD.
President Taft Has Change OF Hear
After Primary Election.

Beverly, Sept 15,-No difference be-
tween so-called 'progressives" and
regulars will be recognized by Pres
ident Taft hereafter, but all party Lead
ers will be treated alike as Republi-
cans in matters of federal support.
The presidents views to this effect are
given in a letter from Secretary Nor
ton to Republican leader of Iowa,
whose name is not disclosed.
In the letter Secretary Norton stat
ed that while important Republican
legislation pending in congress was
opposed by certain Republican lead
ers, the president felt that his duty re-
quired him to withhold federal pat
ronage from senators and representa-
tiyes who seemed to occupy position
hostile to efforts to fulfill pledges In
the party platform.
This attitude on the part of the
president ended. however, with the
more recent primary elections and
nominating conventions in which the
people have declared themselves and
the president now looks on progress
sives" and regulars" alike as Re-
publicans and as such entitled to his
support and the support of the party
in the fall elections. Secretary Nor
tons letter says it must settle the
question of whether the differences of
the last session of congress shall be
perpetuated or forgotten Statesman.

Great Utah Railroad System Makes
Giant Step Forward.

For years it has been known that
while the capitalization of the Short
Line was very small, yet that road
owned ten times the amount of its au-
thorized capital in other companies.
1t owns the Utah Light & Railway
company, for instance. Then it holds
one-half of the Salt Lake Route. Tt
was the controlling factor and holding
company in Northern Securities and is
heavily interested in many other great
concerns. 5zasszssa
The authorized capital was only
$27,460,O00, but this was increased to
about $50,000,000 some time ago to
meet requirements of the cast i'm
provements made in the company's
property since 1897 Many millions
each year have been put into the pro-
perty, and the coming increase is to.
cover the great improvements of the
last few years, the extensions into new
country and to provide means to fur
ther extend the system into profitable
agricultural regions. No further ex-
tensions Will be made to mining Sec
tions, but it is understood that the
Oregon Short Line being the parent
and holding system in many cases,
will provide for the mammoth plans
for extensions of lines under other
corporate titles.
1t Is mighty stride forward for the
leading railroad corporation of Utah
and all its friends will follow the de-
tails with great interest as the future
will mean much toward the further
wonderful development of the region
served by it's rails
It is known that the Oregon Short
Line has been making giant advances
and an illustration is seen in the
growth of its earning power since
1897 Then if it earned over Sc ,00O,-
900 it was good, but now it is running
into the $17,000,00 class or nearly
three times as great as when the prop
erty was taken over by the present
on that memorable day
in March, 1897.

Petition Grluated Il. WI fof
Municipal System.
WILL CALL FOR BALANCE on
AVAILABLE ISSUE.
Concessions Made By Both Sides
to Keep Up Boosting Spirit Of
the City.

Business men are at present busy
circulating a petition among the tax
payers asking the city council to call
an election to vote the entire remain
der OF the available bond issue of the
city to begin the construction OF q
municipal water system. At every
place the men with the petition have
been met with open arms and the Sign
ers are flocking to sign and go on rec
ord as in favor of placing this city out
of the grasp of the present private
company which has demanded every-
thing and given nothing in return.
The petition is the result of conn
promise affected between the men who
want paving and those who want
water works bonds voted, each side
agreeing to support both issuea for the
sake of peace and the progress Of the
city.
The paving bonds having carried
leaves the city about $4,000 thousand
dollars which can be voted toward the
waterworks system. The intention OF
the men asking for the election is,
after careful and full investigation,
to make use of the 100000 to begin
work either of getting a water right
and the supply and begin the laying OF
pipes from the supply point toward
the city and use what money ii voted
until the assessed valuation will permit
another issue to finish the system and
lay mains into the city Or, on the
other hand, lay mains in the city with
the available funds and then get the
supply and pipe line later. Tl1e two
plans will be investigated and placed
before the public BY the present water
works committee, which has been
quietly investigating the various
phases of the water question during
the past two months.

CURE ALFALFA WELL.
The Dangers of the Third Cut
ting.

The third crop of alfalfa is now ma
tured and is being cut and stacked, but
already the departure of the summer
is noticeable, for it takes about three
times as long to cure hay for the stack
as it did six weeks ago, and care
should be taken to have this crop
fully cured as otherwise 1t will heat
in the stack and though there is no
excuse for NOV burned hay in this
country there is every fall a great
deal of third cutting stacked too green,
and this is poisonous for horses and
the direct cause for every case of
'heaves" know in the country. Some
cattle and sheep feeders claim that
burned is better for AMI will pro-
more fat than well cured hay, but
their observations are undoubtedly
based upon comparison of the burn
ed hay and some that was bleaehed
out until the leaves all dropped off
as the leaves contain about so per
cent OF the feeding value Of the hay
and are of course retained on the
burned" or green stacked hay, this
gives rise to the erroneous opinion

BARNES MAKES STATEMENT.
"Otd Guard'so Leader Gets Reply From

Barnes Statement.
No amount of political maneuver-
Ing, use of patronage or personal
abuse can in the slightest degree OBJ
scure the one issue, which must be
fought out to the finish at Saratoga.
There will be determined the future
OF the Republican party in the state
of New York for some years to come.
That party must determine in it's plat
form whether it will be recognized as
the conserving force which has been
It's history, or whether it will follow
the follow the radical policies OF Mr..
Roosevelt and lose the strategic posi-
tion which 1t has held in the state of
New York for many years as the party
OF sanity and protector of industry,
on which the world of business and la
Dor must depend If it does not hold
to its time-honored and successful
principles, but seeks for new gods to
worship, its mistakes will be taken ad-
vantage of by its adversary. No radi-
cal candidate has ever carried the
state of New York. Progress in poll
tical life is essential to any party, but
state leadership, which relies for its
strength on melting the mob, can nev-.
er, even if it tries, stem the tide which
1t has created. The Republican party
In this state has never faced crisis
SO fundamental to its existence, such
as 1t must meet at this hour"
Roosevelt Welcomes Gage.
When Mr.. Barnes statement was
shown to Colonel Roosevelt the latter
dictated the following comment: 81.
am indeed blessed In my enemies. Il
am very genuinely grateful to Mr..
Barnes for having unconsciously made
the issue SO clear between what he is
pleased to call Rooseveltism on the
one side, and on the other side the al
lance of the boss with that element
of big business which seeks to control
politics in connection with business. .
