OIL BOOM
Expected In The KnOx.LiCk
ing Gas Fields
columbus Journal)

The natural gas companies operat-
ing in the Knox-Licking County fields
are now becoming interested in the
development of oil as well as of natur-
al gas. Four gas wells, coming in for
oil, far removed from each other, dur
ing the past go days, is enough to
keep them stirred up to high pitch.
Gas lease owners feel as though they
can better afford to do test work
where they have chances to get either
oil or gas in their ventures.

nationality had been armed with l2-inch or 13-
inch breech-oading rifles and with variety OF
less powerful hitters. including S-inch, 5inch and
3-inch guns, and on down through the whole
catalogue OF naval weapons to the one-pounders.
The British naval architects and shipbuilders
when they produced the original "Dreadnaught"
pointed the way to a new policy. In arming the
new style vessel they cut down the number OF
guns OF lesser importance-par particularly the weap-
ons OF intermediate size such as the S-inch and
the 5-inch, and placed almost all the responsi-
bility for offense and defense on guns OF the
largest size.
The whole naval world was immensely i'm
pressed with the naval novelty which John Bull
produced and all the leading nations. including
the United States straightway set about follow
ing his example by constructing such ships OF
their own. Thus 1t came about that the name
'Dreadnaught" which originally applied to only
one ship came to stand for the whole family OF
"allbig-gun" ships. no matter under what nag
such V ssel might be in service. The United

be ready TO Join the big fleet within year;
another pair under construction, and yet oth'
ers will be contracted for this winter. II Is cost
