Rich Oil Territory,
Struck IT'S Said, .
By Charleston Mar,

1t has been reported here that M.
w. Donnelly, Of this city, who has
been operating for oil in the upper
Ohio territory, has struck some rich
territory and that he and mis- bust
ness associates are getting rich
quick. The last we'll is on Bear Run,
near Marietta and near Payne Sta
ton, on the Muskingum river. The
strike was made in q we'll that had
been drilled into the Cow Run sand
more than one year ago. There was
a showing Of oil in that stratum but
1t was not sufficient to pay the opera
tors, SO the well was abandoned.
The hole was recently drilled into the
Keener sand and q Is barrel well IL
the result, according to reports. The
well Is on the King farm, and an
other will be drilled at once. It is
believed thai in the King holdings
there is q considerable pool and the
Donnelly interests expect to fully test
the territory.

Telephone Messages
Become Telegraph
Messages lnstanter

Another important step in the use
Of the telephone as supplement to
the telegraph has just been announc-
ed. Under this new arrangement a
telegram or cablegram may be sent
day or night, no matter If the local
telegraph Office is closed
TO perfect this method the Wes-
tern Uni2n has established al night
offices in various sections Of the State
and when the local telegraph Office
is closed the messages may be trans
mitted by Bell Telephone to the near
est "All Night" telegraph office.
The magic word Telegram"
spoken to a Bell Telephone operator
will secure communication with the
Western Union. When the local
may be telephoned to the nearest
All Night Western Office by the
payment, Of small charge for the
long distance telephone message. In
like manner kilograms will be die
tated over the telephone by the Wes-
tern Union to Bell Telephone sub
scribers, when the local telegraph
office is closed, If the telephone toll
charges are accepted by the recipient
Of the message.
This new method makes every
Bell telephone in the city or on the
farm practically telegraph station,
and kilograms may be sent from
small localities at night, on Sundays
Tor on holidays. Telephone users
whose names are in the Bell tele-
phone directory may also have tele-
grams charged to them.
Charleston is an Gall Night" office
and Is the telegraph center OF large
section of West Virginia at night.
The following cities are tributary to
Charleston when their local telc-
graph offices are closed:
Beckley,- Clendenin, East Bank,
Fayetteville, Madison, Mason City,
Montgomery, Oak Hill, Point Pleas
ant, Spencer, Sutton and Thurmond.

Railroads Relation to q,
Country's Prosperity

New York, Nov. 23.-Martin A.
Knapp, chairman Of Interstate Com

dress last evening at the annual din
ner Of the Railway Business Associa-

IF our country is to grow and
prosper, we must have railway earn
lngs sufficient for three things: E"
First. "A return on railway in

capital to improve existing roads and
construct thousands Of miles OF new
lines in fruitful districts now desti-
tute or any means Of TRANSPORTATION
II Is a matter OF common knowledge
that the output OF traffic for the ifs
Cal year 1907 exceeded our entire
carrying capacity on land and water.
since 1T Is our national policy-and
long will be, I trust-to rely upon
private capital and private enterprise
10 provide these great highways OF
commerce, must we not in the larger
public interest, whatever may be
Ihonsht by this or that shipper,
make the business Of furnishing rail
road transportation so desirable to
the Investor that the necessary funds
for betterment and extensions will be
Forthcoming, and so attractive as 4
vocation that the highest ability will
be employed in its management?
otherwise; must not our country
come measurably to aestandstfll and
face future Of comparative stagna-
tionf !
Second. The payment of liberal
wages to an adequate number of
competent men. This not only to in
sure increasing skill and reliability,
but also because Of the great influ-
ence Of railway wages upon compen-
satdon Of labor, in private employ
mert. The fundamental social prob
lem is, to provide without radical &C
tlon or injustice, for a more equable
Intrusion of the wealth which the
|eartk produces . .-.- .
Third. The betterment OF exist
ing lines without unnecessary in
crease in capitalization. Every dol
lar borrowed to. improve road now

the public Is required to pay"

Trotter Will Not
Succeed Townsend

1t may be asserted on presumed
good authority that Prof. James Rus
sell Trotter will not be selected as
state tax commissioner. The reports
which have been circulated to the ef-
feet that he would likely be selected
by the governor for Mr.. Townsend 8
job have been an injustice both to
him and to the governor. Mr.. Trot-
ter Is giving very good satisfaction
as professor of law in the State Uni
Versity and it is not believed to be
the intention Of the administration
to reduce the efficiency of the undver-
s1ty faculty.
There is no likelihood that Mr..
Townsend, although his term ends
With this month, will relinquish his
duties until after the next session Of
the legislature. The appointment Of
his successor will likely not be an
nounced before the first Of the year.

effect.
The national house Of representatives
was carried by the Democrats, revers~

over Henry l.. Stimson, Republican, by
about 5000, reversing the Republican
plurality of 10000 in 1908, for Cover
nor Hughes.

Democratic candidate for governor, is
elected over Vivian NJ. Lewis, Repub-
hcan, by about $4,000, reversing the

leading c. i. Carr, Democrat, by about
5000.
In Pennsylvania, the election of John

governor, Is claimed by large plural
ity.
In Rhode Island, Governor Pothier,
Republican candidate for reelection, is
slightly in the lead over Lewis A. Wat
erman, Democrat, with plurality much
reduced from that of 1909.
In Tennessee, the fusion candidate,
Ben w. Hooper, is apparently elected
By $4,000.
Democratic governors have been

lima,
In Iowa the Democrats claim the cleo
tion of Claud Porter for governor, but
this is not yet conceded
In Wisconsin. the election Of Repub
lican candidate for governor, Francis

ma aiority, and the return of Senator La

assured.
