We notice that Secretary Handy, OF
the Columbia chamber Of commerce,
has succeeded in getting the Seaboard
to agree to put the Pullman on be-
tween Columbia and Atlanta. But
why wait until September? 1t Will

would be a. good time to advertise.

THE IDLER,

I see Alderman Baxter makes a
statement about that light in Friend
street near the union station, or the
light that is not there. Surely there
must be some mistake about this for
am almost absolutely certain that the
railroad people would not throw any
thing in the way of a light at this
crossing.
By the way 7 would be pleased, yes,
dea-lighted to have Alderman Baxter's
opinion on retaining those old burn
ed and charred walls where the fire
occurred some time ago, and where
the department did too efficient work.
Now this would be a most desirable
place for a grocery and soft drink es-
tablishment-, Right on the railroad
and a lot of people go this way and
beautiful business corner could be
put up here. If I was rich like some
of these Newberry people I would buy
it and build a nice store room and
start some worthy young fellow IN
business. But then I amt rich and
maybe that is the reason.

The life and character OF Charles
G. Dantzler ought to be written by
some one gifted in that line, and helG
I'D as an object lesson to the youth
Of South Carolina If I had a son to
rear and educate, I do not know a
man whose example I would advise
him to follow any sooner than
would Judge Dantzler's.
when l was much younger than |
am now. at the beginning OF my pro-
fessional life. like most young men
and young lawyers. | Worshlpped at
the shrine of intellect. I tried to pat
tern my life after the great orators
and the brilliant jurists and the pro-
found Judges of the world. I have
lived long enough to know that that
is a mistake. The men who move. the
world, the men who do the work Of
the world, the men who reap the
richest rewards and enjoy the high
est happiness are men of moderate
endoWments, but who are true to
themselves and develop themselves
ITO the height of their capacity. Such
man was Charles G. Dantzler. He
was a man of decided ability; in my
Judgment, of the very highest order
of ability. He had the ability to do
right at all times and under all cir
cumstances-to think right to act
right, and to walk uprightly in all
the relations of life. The consequence
was that be commanded the respect
and the confidence of those who knew
him best, and when it was known
that the judge Of the First circuit,
about eight years ago, would not
stand for reelection, Judge Dantzler
was the unanimous choice Of the bar
Of that circuit. And that is all that
the legislature wanted to know. He
could have been elected by the legis-
lature without the endorsement of
the bar, but when those in the gen
eral assembly who had a preference
for him learned also that he was en-
dorsed by the entire bar Of the First
circuit he passed into office without
opposition. And it was not long be-
fore we all saw that no mistake had
been made.
Judge Dantz1er and myself lived
in adjoining counties, and we prac-
ticed together to some extent, some
times on the same side, sometimes on
opposite sides, and I do not think l
ever saw a truer mind than his-a
mind capable of reasoning correctly
from premises to conclusion. And,
while metaphysicians may not agree
with me, believe that his ability to
reason correctly is explained by the
fact that he always tried to reason
rightly.
*tIt is very gratifying to me, and
will be to the lawyers in our part OF
the State, and to the bar of Orange
burg and to his family, to know that
at this distance from his home he
was so highly valued and so much
appreciated.
ssYou are making no mistake,
brethren, to think we'll of your judi
ciary while they live, and the con-
sciousness that they will receive your
need of praise when they are gone,
if they deserve it, strengthens their
arms and holds up their hands in
their efforts to serve you and to serve
their people. None of US can stay
here long, but all of US can act right
ly, to the best of our human ability,
what time we do stay here, and the
knowledge tha: we will be appreciat-
ed by those whose good opinions we
value is very comforting and very
sustaining"

two years later the great oil industry
started
on account of the rapid advance the
oil industry has made In the past year.
the Salt Lake Commercial club has taxi
en- n hand to help foster the promotion
of this resource IT is the intention of
the club to furnish reliable information.
and rs It Is now in communication with
nearly all the big oil operators of tho
state. 1t should soon he In position to
know definitely conditions rs they arc,
BY far tho largest oil field thus FAR
developed In Utah Is the san Juan In
San Juan county. near Bluff in the cx-
trcmc southeastern part of the state.
The development In this field alone Is
sufficient to compel recognition for Utah
as an oil state. On Dec. 1 there were
% rigs IN the field and at least 20 were
in active operation; the others being
broken or being removed to some 9TH
or portion OF the field. In this field
alone over 100 men are employed. Four
more rigs arc now on the way into tho
field
In this field is the first paying oil
we'll In the state. although there arc
many others there that could be made
commercial wells if they were properly
taken care OF. Tho honor OF putting
in tho first commercial well IN Utah
belongs to r. V. Bodlish. now OF Salt
Lake CITY.
EAR MARKS or FIELD.
The San Juan oil fields have all the
ear marks of being one of the greatest
II fields in the world. Oil indications
have been found sufficient for II dis
corcry In the northern end of the field
while in the extreme southern end OF
tho field the greatest discoveries have
been made. OIL in quantity has also
been found in the east and west edges
of the field and there Is Il strong prob
ability of the field being extended for
10 miles west into Grand gulch.
With tho opening up of new indus

shot and, although 1t Is n violation of
the law. In many instances the water

Oil in Utah is Of an exceptionally
high grade, running from IS to 40 spe-
cific gravity. The seeps and where oil
! has been actually discovered. all show
II pure paraffine oil and in case of tho
| San Juan oil there is / s per cent Gaso-

All the. oil fields thnt are now being

All the formations OF the field seem
to come to Il common center at the base
OF dome-like up-lift known to geol-

six miles wide. This is cut by the
river so that the great folds in the
formation show out distinctly for many
miles. This croded section Is one OF
the great sights of the country.
According to biologists this dome was
,, the result of an enormous uplift, which
although terrible in its power. was not
sufficient TO force its way up through
the formation. The great folds are
unlike any other formation In the state
and 1t hardly appears possible for them
to have been so twisted and not brok-

As far as known there are eight sands
in the field which will give total depth
of 800 feet Of oil sands. Besides this
there is a ninth sand that is being found
in the north end of the field L. G..

the Goodrich sand, which Is from 20 to

The next is the Mcndenhall sand, which
differs from all the others In that 1t Is
from 50 to 10 feet thick and Is streaked
with lime. These streaks cut through,

dcnhall sand Is another that averages
about IS feet and it Is in this sand that

San Juan has at least four wells which

believed.
Unlike most fields nature has cut the
formation of the San Juan oil fields
so that it stands out like an open book.
Erosion has been gigantically busy and
the turgid. turbulent San Juan river,
with its reddish silt water. has cut the
field to a depth Of over 1000 feet. Along
it's shores are found numerous oil seeps.
in some places the sands are permeated
with oil for thickness of so feet

townsite Of Goodrich where the new
bridge crosses the stream. is where the

LOG AT SPENCER WELL.
Sufficient work has not been done in
the oil field to fully determine condl-
tons, but the log of the Spencer well
on the London & San Juan property
will be sufficient to give fair idea of
the formation. The we'll was started
on top Of the Goodrich oil sands. The
log is as follows: 30 feet, Goodrich
sands; so feet, red lime; 20 feet. sand;
So feet of red lime; 40 feet blue lime.
