meeting of the Belfast Baseball association
last Friday evening Herbert Dickey was elect

son submitted proposition to erect grand
stand with seating capacity of 500 and dress
ing rooms underneath, providing the associa-
ton secures an extension of its lease for five
years, as the present lease expires at the close
of this year. The matter was left to COM

Brown and Lee Robinson, who presented it to
the city government at the meeting last Mon

lease as asked for. Several players will soon
arrive home from the various colleges, so Bel
fast seems to be assured of a strong team this
summer. The association has also under con-

our newspaper men have to meet
is that one of Marshall's most sue
cessful merchants does not adver-

ness can be made a success with
out newspaper advertising when
every other means is carefully en-
ployed, such as good clerks, care

fair prices, fair treatment, long es-

r relied upon by the lawyers and
the bench more than the material
facts and the law involved In the
case at bar. Every lawyers library
is burdened with volumes OF court
decisions and yet these long Wind

faster than ever. The State or the
government, as the case may be,

civil cases, pays the fees OF lawyers

the greatest oil-producing country
In fact, II produces more than all
the rest OF the world together. In
1910 the wells OF this country yield
ed nearly 81 per cent OF the total
production, Russia scoring very
poor second with about 10000, 900
barrels, or n per cent. The pro
duction of the other countries ID
comparatively negligible the third
on the list, Galicia, contributing
only 3.s7 per cent OF the total.
The excess OF the petroleum pro
duction of the United States over
the normal demand Is shown by
the fact that the 2os,556,o4s barrels
produced In 1910 brought a small
err return-s127 ,sse, 32s-than the
1sS,i70,s74 barrels In 1909, which
was valued at $12s,32s,4 2T. The
even smaller output In 1908, 17s,0Oo-
COD barrels, was valued at still
more-$i29 ,079,1st. As the pro-
duction has increased the average
price has gone down from more
than 81 a barrel in 1900 to 81 cents
In 1910.
These repeated great increases in
oil production have been due to
the successive development of four
great petroleum fields farther west
than the old productive ~centers.
BY 1900 the country had adapted
itself to the influx OF oil from
western Ohio and Indiana; then
came in rapid succession the de-
velopment OF the Gulf field in
Texas and Louisiana, the Mid-Con
tinent field in Oklahoma and KAN
sas and the Illinois field. In the
meantime CALIFORNIA; production
had been increasing so rapidly that
1t became the dominent feature OF
1909 and 1910, outstripping the pro
duction OF any other State and
promising to retain this supremacy
In the future. The trade effect OF
.these developments was largely dis
counted by the small proportion Of
gasoline and Kerosene yielded by
the Gulf and California oils and It
was only when the superior charac
ter OF ths Mld&Continent oil was
recognized that the middle western
contrtbutlons began to be taken
