BR0WNW00D HAS
OIL SCARE
Well Producing twenty-five Barrels a
Day Brought in Near There.

San Antonio, Texas. March 2s.-Al-
though the first reports of the Trick
ham oil fields near Brownwood, Texas,
were somewhat exaggerated, there is
no doubt now that the find is of great
value. The gas pressure is sufficient
to send 25 barrel-a-day stream of
oil to the surface, which now issues
between two castings that had been set
in the well. These partly obstruct the
flow and it is expected that when one
of them is taken out the quantity de-
livered will be much greater. The oil
found is of excellent quality and tests
have shown that it will make a lubri-
Gator Of great value.

IMMENSE CHUTE FOR TIMBER

one OF the longest and largest tim.
Der chutes in the northwest, is located
on the klamath river. In the extreme
northeastern corner Of Siskiyou coun,
ty, California II is used almost en-
tirely for shooting" saw logs from
the top OF a mountain down into the
klamath river. In total length this
great chute is about 5000 feet, and in
places II assumes an angle OF about
45 degrees. The chute resembles o
huge trough more than six feet wide
between the two sids at the top. The
bottom and aldes are about rs inches
thick, all very securely jointed and
fitted together and, at short inter
walls. strongly anchored to the steep
mountain side.
Most OF the shooting" is done du-
ring the winter months when the
chute is coated with snow and ice.
or kept wet by rains. When a big
log is started down the steep slippery
way It gains a tremendous rate of
speed before reaching the rolling
stream at the MOUNTAINS base-more
than 5000 feet below. So fearful is
the swiftness that the friction often
scorches both the chute and the bark
on the logs. Only a few seconds are
required for the big log to make it's
journey from top to bottom.

custom house in the city Of New York
on Lady Day, the Annunciation of the
Blessed Virgin Mary.
While the residence has been some
what modernized by the building Of
a veranda and other minor changes,
the structure retains many reminders
Of the perilous times. The hand-hewn
timbers are visible, and there is pre-
served the strong door which opened
into the south end Of the house,
against the casing of which a British
officer stood when a Yankee from the
hill on the south bank Of White Creek
picked him off with his gun. The
door is in good start Of preservation,
and on 1t is the massive old lock
which in early days would have prov
en- an obstruction to a person seeking
to unlawfully enter the building, but
TO the modern house breaker it would
be as a toy. The lock is ten inches
long by FIVE and a half inches wide
and one and half inches thick. The
original brass key, six inches in
length, is still in position to shoot the
bolt
In the days which tried mems
souls" the building was used as
postoffice, and an inn, before 1t be-
came the headquarters for the Brit
ish officers under Colonel Baum. In
those days each inn and tavern keep
er was required to enter into recogni-
zance to the people of the state of
New York in the sum of ESQ, not to
keep a disorderly house or suffer any
cock-fghting, gaming or playing with
cards or dice, or keep any billiard
table or other gaming table or shuttle
board within it. In regard to the sell
ing of strong liquors, exceptions were
made for the sale of metheglin, cur
rant wine, cherry wine and cider made
by the inn-keepers. At each tavern
at least two spare beds, with good and
sufficient sheeting and covering, were
