OIL & GAS COMPANY ELECT.

The annual meeting of the
Harney Valley Oil & Gas Co., was
held in this city last Monday
evening at the office Of j. G.
Turney.
The new officers elected were
J. C. Turney, president; r. ID.
Post, vice-president and general
manager; Miss JoserLine Locher,
secretary; Peter Clemens, treas
urer, and S. M. Talbot, superin-
tendent.
When seen by representative
of this paper Mr.. Turney stated
that the company starts the year
under most promising conditions
and hope to accomplish much
work during the season. He
states that the company has
been promised sufficient funds to
build a pipe line from this field
to Boise just as soon as it is de-
monstrated we have commercial
gas. 1t is the intention of those
in charge of the work to begin
active work as soon as proper
machinery can be obtained.
The Times Herald has suggest
ed such a move before. The
gas is most important and an
immediate commodity in which
local people are interested. The
development of commercial gas
would mean immediate revenue
to the company and a great boon
to the Harney country where
thousands of acres Of fertile land
would be made to produce in
creased yields by means OF
water With such cheap fuel as
gas this is not only possible bu,
practicable. 1t is very crafty
ing to note that the company is
going to develop this gas, which
is undoubtedly here.
People will watch with much
interest the work of the Harney
Valley Oil & Gas Co. They wish
to see our resources developed
Fand feel that if we can secure
gas it will mean rapid advance
ment along this line. With suffi
cient funds for this promised tho
company should hasten to dem
onstrate what it has and thus
bring greater confidence to the
undertaking and add valuable
assets to its holdings.
J. c. Turney, r. b. Post, S
NJ. Talbot, II. M. Horton, Pete
Clemens, C. G. Frye, DIR. II
Denman and w. ii. Bradford
were elected directors for the
year.

A carload of turkeys left Gal
weston, Texas, the other day, for
which local shoppers received IL
cents per pound. When these
turkeys reached the consumers
they cost 33 cents per pound. In
other words, two-thirds of the
cost to the consumer was absorb
ed somewhere between the seller
and the buyer. 1t went to the
railroad or the middle man.
This also indicates that there is
something besides a shortage Of
commodities that creates high
prices. -EX.

PLAN NEW CHURCH NEXT YEAR.

At the annual business meet
ing of the Presbyterian church
last week the matter of q new
church building was discussed
and the membership and friends
will begin plans looking to the
erection Of a larger and more
substantial building next year.
The church has received consid-
cradle encouragement for this
purpose and there is every in
dication that a sufficient sum
may be pledged for the new
church next year.
J. l.. Gault was reelected
treasurer and A. S. Swain sue
ceeds himself as trustee. Messrs
Chalmers, Whitney, Hibbard
and MCGOWAN were elected
ushers for this year. The finance
committee for the year are
Messrs Gault, Hibbard, Swain,
Byrd and MCGOWAN.
One very pleasing feature was
the action of the meeting in cut
ting down the amount received
from the Home Mission Board on
the salary of the pastor With
such excellent support from the
local congregation it is hoped
soon to have the church entirely
on self support in a short time.

WHY COAL DIDN'T CONE.
Webster City Dealer Finds Dozen Cars
Sidetracked at Jewell.

Webster City, Feb. 4.-The coal deal
ers are still having a strenuous time to
keep the trade supplied with coal. and
one of them who has had several cars
Of coal due here for over two weeks,
went down the line yesterday and
hunted up the lost coal The dealer
referred to is Peter Schooner. the only
exclusive coal and fuel dealer in the
city.
The shipment which was giving him
such concern was one from Boone.
He receives several cars Of coal from
the Boone mines each week and the
time required in shipment between
there and Webster City is not ordin-
arily very great.
However, this shipment left Boone
about two weeks ago and after re-
ceiving the bill, Mr.. Schooner heard
no more of the coal. He felt confident
that it was sidetracked at Jewell
Junction, SO yesterday he went to Jew
ell to see for him self He found the
coal and several other cars, twelve in
all, billed to Webster City firms, that
had been lying on the siding in Jewell
for some time, while the people here
were crying for fuel.

There is still considerable corn to be

Athletic Followers of S. u. !. Decidedly
Averse to Adjustment Of Game.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Feb. 4.-Little weight Is
given to the report that the presidents
of the Missouri Valley conference in
situations propose to throw out foot
ball by the University of Iowa athletic
followers, as there is little sentiment
here against the present game and the
agitation of the college presidents is
not viewed seriously in this state.
The state of Iowa experienced one
of the most successful seasons in the
history of the game this past fall. In
juries We're few, attendance figures
were shattered. and all in all the grid
iron sport was in high favor. The
sentiment among the collegeians is
unanimously in favor of the game,
alumni refuse to consider steps for its
adjustment and the boards of trus-
tees, regents, etc, no matter what
they think have made no steps to aid
in the agitation for revision, not to
say anything of following the abolish
ing suggestion. 1t is certain that If
one institution in the state should
have it's board take the step that the
regents did in Kansas. there would be
a storm of protest from one end of
Iowa to the other.
The Rugby game is not looked upon
favora bly, in this school. Coach John
c.. Griffith, of Iowa, formerly coached
at the University of Idaho, and his
brother Delight Griffith, also a former
S. U. l. football player. is coaching in
California at the present time. Both
are familiar with the experiment of
trying Rugby in the far west and both
are convinced that it has not truly
been successful
