ELLENUALE.

oh how cod when will we ever have pleasant
weather again" is the expression on every hand
This severe cold, and rough travelling has brought
much hardship upon those who are obliged to move
particularly those who must 90 a long distance The
family Of Joseph Loaand who moved Tuesday from
here to near Cedar Creek are particularly noticeable
With a very sick wife and several small children,
/ to start out in that terrible blizzard seemed most
cruel, and even the most sympathetic neighbors
turned out to help them reluctantly, fearing to ex-
pose their robust health to the severe elements. It
was necessary for Mr.. Lohand to move because
eolored man from Slaughter Neck bore down upon
him with family and household goods to occupy
the home made vaean, by him.
There seems to be much more moving in this
vicinity than is usual. Elias Daniels moves to
Georgetown and gives room for Mr.. Phillips Of
Georgia. who with his family come here recently
and purchased this farm. Mr.. Veasy. Of Harbeson,
comes to the Thomas Baker farm made vac ant by
Mr.. Phillips Will Galloway moves to Greenwood,
and Gus Pride, Of Georgetown takes his place. Mr..
Robt Pettyiohn moves to the w. S. Dickerson
place, and James Williams follows him to the Robt
Warren property while Andrew ]. Diekerson Of
Rehoboth occupies the Elligood farm vacated by
Williams. We most heartily glad to welcome
our old friend Andrew J., who left US year ago,
back to US again. tor he is a splendid farmer and a
good citizen. He declares Glendale is the place for
him and he will never leave US again.
George CoverdaIe has moved to the new:house
he recently purchased and James Indie, of Towns
end in New Castle county, will occupy Mr.. Cover
dale's new home The most curious case Of moving !
and the one most to be regretted is that Of Frank
Case who leaves the nice little farm at New Market |
which he recently purchased Of W. J. Dickerson
and will take a position manager Of the large /
Hazard estate, at Milton. now owned by W. Chon-
dey. Mr.. Case is the most thorough and up-to-
date farmer in this county, and a most courteous
and agreeable gentleman, and we are most sorry to
lose him John Adams will occupy his farm and
Mark Murphy will follow him. A new man will
axe Murphys place who has come from Ohio and
purchased it Of Short and Hall. Walter Thomas, of
Draw Bridge will upy the Morris property at the
.ross roads.
We learn from Senator S. E. Reed that he has a
private letter from DR.. Caleb R. Layton who holds
/ lucrative government position in Washington,
md who is fighting Protectionist, stating that he
lssires to come to Glendale next Saturday and ad-
lress the Changers upon the subject Of Drainage
Milford chronicle., 1910-01-07

There is such organization as Crangers here and
have not learned If his proposition is appreciated
or will be considered. One old soldier remarked
that Caleb was fishing for an opportunity to air his
politics open the campaign for next fall but we
have no personal Acquaintance with the sentleuaa.
and cannot voueh for his purpose
We must acknowledge our high appreciation Of a
nice letter just received from one Of our fine young
men from this place now in business in PhiIadel-
phia. He makes vigorous inquiry as to the recent
absence Of our Glendale letter the Chronicle as
he anxiousy looks for it in every issue and is sad,
disappointed without the news from his old and
beloved home. We assure our young and enthus.
iaste reader and friend that we highly appreciate
his compliments to us AM will try hard to keep him
informed as to the doings his old town.
We received to-day nj Ielter from Jefferson
Cross Roads containing SOM picy items from that

tomary not to recognize ANONYMOUS letters. we lav
it aside and if the person who wrote it will give us
his or her to establish good faith, we will
gladly add these items to our next weeks letter We
are always glad Of any news from our kind neigh
bors and Chronicle readers but please don't forTet

GROUND LEASES

The Coalinga Midland Oil company,
incorporated with 100000 capital stock
in 100000 shares and $25 subscribed by
the following named, who also are di-
rectors. W. j. Kilby, Fl. r. Crozier, III.
l.. Pasch, II. Weinstock and b. w.
Kilby.
The articles of Incorporation have
been filed in the Kern county recorder $
office, and as the incorporators are all
Coalinga business men more than the
ordinary interest is attached to 1t.
They have been for many months
endeavorng to obtain lease, and re-
Gently succeeded.
The tract Is a 40-acre one, being the
north half of the north quarter of the
southwest quarter of 10-19-15, and is
i'm very classy company. On the sec
tion there are three producing wells
and the new lease is in direct line with
other big wells. The company secured
the lease from William Etchegoin, the
owner, on a one eighth royalty for
twenty years, with the privilege Of
purchasing.
Within thirty days the company will
begin operations, and as they are finan-
cially prepared to keep the drills going
will hurry matters as rapidly as pos
sible. They believe that they will en-
counter the first sands, which will be
very light, at the 1900 and that it will
be necessary to reach the 1000 or deeper
before they encounter the real oil bear
ing sands.

MONTEREY OIL FIELDS
PERPLEX SALINAS MEN

KING CITY, April 4.--To read the
Salinas papers one would think Mon
terey oil fields had been abandoned.
Evidently those papers think the two
or three Salinas companies that pulled
up stakes and deserted the field were
the whole thing. AS a matter of fact
there are as many companies left in
that particular neighborhood aban-
doned by the Salinas "magnates' as
pulled out; then there are half dozen
or so more farther south in this county
that are drilling, with fine prospects of
success The Standard Is on the eve
of bringing in a well in Bitterwater, a
few miles north of the Lonoak field,
having had ninety feet of pipe perfor-
ated and sent out to the we'll within a
few days.
Some of the stockholders in one Of
the "cold feet" Salinas companies, re
siding here, are sorely disappointed py
IT'S action. One man said:
Dang the wildcats, anyway. Theyr
always afraid of q deep hole Not one
of 'em was ever known to go tar
enough down to get oil. At 1000 teet
thev stick their tails between their legs
