OIL MAY BE FOUND

Spindle Top was an accident, and both the
Jennings and Beaumont oil fields record
some sad experiences. Many we'll was
sunk and abandoned before the lucky strike
was made that brought forth gushers and
pushed land values beyond the reach of the
timid and into the hands of the SPECTATOR
The Oak Ridge Oil Co. of St. Tammany
Parish stands in reverse position to Spin
die Top. With every indication of oil, and
no longer be bought, gusher of water was
reached at 1900 feet that prevented further
operations.
The oil-bearing sands from this well give
positive indications that oil exists, and it is
said that some oil actually came from the
well. Be this as it may, experts are conf
dent that this field will produce oil, and with
the exact knowledge which experience has
given them Of the depth at which castings will
have to be put in, it is believed the next well
will be a success. 1t is proposed to sink it
a short distance from the abandoned well.
Opportunities are often lost by lack of that
venturesome spirit that is not afraid to take
risks if the possible reward is great enough.
It is the spirit that built up the west, and it
is the spirit that has made Texas one of the
greatest States in the Union. If there is
enough of this spirit in St. Tammany parish
there will be another we'll sunk in the Oak
Ridge oil field Nothing venture, nothing
have" is trlte saying, and while we would
not advise a poor man to place his hard
earned savings in a chance to find oil, yet
there is chance for the man who can af-
ford to lose something in the venture to make
fortune 1t would be a great thing for
st. Tammany parish if oil were struck. It
would mean more business than could be
handled by Covington with present facili-
ties; prosperity for the merchants, for the
hotels, for the boarding houses, for real es-
tate men-in fact, general prosperity in
which all would share.
An illustration of the peculiar uncertainty
of the search for oil is given in the expert
ence of Capt. Pickett when he was sinking
wells for the Guffy CO. in the Jennings field.
His first and unsuccessful we'll was 1900
feet. Finally, two years later, information
was gained that the proper depth was 1870
feet A we'll of that depth was put down
without the least indication Of oil. He was
told to put in casing and strainer and bail
out He did so, and turned out we'll that
flowed 5000 barrels day for some months
and 5000 barrels day the two succeeding
years.
Oil will probably be found in St. Tammany
parish when some company comes along with
the means to back the undertaking, but, as
we said before, the risk is too great for a
man with small means. For the man who can
afford the risk, there is chance to make a

cies or to endorse a set of candidates
in case there are more candidates
than there are vacancies. Mondays

Consequently there was a big crowd
at the meeting and "favorite sons"
galore were present. Usually the
committee meets in the small court
room. The republican county COM
mittee was also meeting, however,
and appropriated the small court
room, SO the democrats had to use

Of Atlantic Highlands.
The committee after a long discus
| sion, decided to suspend temporar-
lily the section Of the bylaws direct
ing an endorsement of a set of can
didates and endorse no one for the
present. This leaves the section of
the bylaws in force to be applied

ControIled NEWSPAPERS.

The Atchison Globe saws that no ad
vertiser has ever tried to control it's ed
itorial policy, the remark being occa
stoned by the charge often made nova
days, that Tie big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experience of the Globe is the
experience OF most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal of ad.
vertising is more interested in the cir.
culation department of a newspaper
than in tneeditorial department. II
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and lsread by them, he is salts
fed, and II may chase after any theory
or fad. for all he cares. He has troubles
OF his own, and he isn't trying to shout
dertAose OF the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and good many of them, more's the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic officeseekers, whose
first concern is their own interests
There are newspapers controlled by
Seat corporations, and the voice OF
ch newspapers is always raised In
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu.
ally is controlled by its owner, and he
is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts OF sacrifices at all sorts OF
times; there are people who consider
1t his duty to insult his advertisers
Just to show that he is free and indie
pendent. If he shows a decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him theil
money, and make it possible for him tt
carry on the business, he is "subsi
died" or controlled" The newspaper
owner is business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer The mer
chants are expected to have considera
ton for their customers, and they arr
not supposed to be subsidized by thu
man who spends five dollars Will
them, but the publisher is expected t.
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. 1t is funny com
bination when you think 1t over

~*@ the girl slowly drew open
her door and came out of the cave
Blake was nowhere in sight She
sighed, vastly relieved, and fastened
across to battle her flushed face in
the spring. Stopping every few mo-
ments to listen for his step down the
cleft she gathered up a hamper of
food and fed to the tree-ladder.
AS she drew herself up on the cliff
she noticed thin column Of smoke
rising from the last smouldering
brands of a beacon fire that had been
built in the midst of the bird colony
on the extreme outer edge OF the
headland. She did not, however, OBJ
serve that while the smoke column
streamed up from the fire directly
skyward beyond it there was much
larger volume of smoke, which seemed
to have eddied down the cliff face and
was now rolling up into view from out
over the sea. She gave no heed to
this, for the sight of the beacon had
instantly alarmed her with the pos
sibility that Blake was still on the
headland, and would imagine that she
was seeking him.
/ She paused her cheeks aflame. But
the only sign of Blake that she could
see was the fire itself She reflected
that he might very we'll have left be-
fore dawn. AS likely as not he had
descended at the north end OF the
cleft and had gone off to the river to
start his catamaran. At the thought
all the color ebbed from her cheeks
and left her white and trembling.
Again she stood nesitating. With a
sigh she started on toward the signal
staff.
She was close upon the border OF
the bird colony when Blake sat up and
she found herself staring into his
blinking eyes.
"Hello!" he mumbled, drowsily. He
sprang up wide awake, and flushing
with the guilty consciousness of what
he had done. Look at the SUBWAY
up! Didn't mean to oversleep, Miss
Leslie. You see l was up pretty late
tending the beacon. But of course
that's no excuse"
DON'T" she exclaimed. There were
tears in her eyes; yet she smiled as
she spoke. Il know what you NEAR
by pretty late. You've been up al
night"
