The southern boundary lies in the 60th parallel and the northern boundary lies in the 10th parallel.

The United States geological sur
vcy has published second edition OF
It's report on the geology Of the Camp
ton field, Wolfe County, Ky, and the
oil and natural gas field In Knox
County Ky The report Is the result
Of field investigation by NJ. j. Mum, a
geologlst Of the survey. The princi-
pal object Of the work in the Camp
ton oil field was TO ascertain. If pos
sible, the value Of such work i'm lo-
eating favorable places for testing be
fore drilling.
Mr.. Mum made the statement that
good geologic work In advance Of
drilling could easily reduce the cost
Of thoroughly testing this region by
AT least so per cent" Since the pub
lication Of the first edition Of the re-
port prospecting In Wolfe County has
resulted in the finding Of an extension
Of the oil-hearing area northward
from the old developments at Camp
ton, which may result In the opening
Of new pool on the northern limb
of the anticlne, on whose southern
limb the Campton pool occurs. The
altitude Of the oil sand" C'Corni-
ferrous" imestone) In these two areas
appears TO be practically the same.
Prospecting In Wolfe County has also
resulted in the discovery Of a new oil
pool south of Stilwater post office G

SATURDAY NIGHT BLAZE.
Residence Of John Houlihan in North
Denson Discovered on FIRE.
Prompt Action Saves House.

A small fire at the John Houlihan
home in this city, which Is located
just east OF the north brick public
school building, called out the fire
department last Saturday evening at
$780, The fire boys quickly responded
to the alarm, but it was with difficulty
that they reached the scene of the
fire on account of the severe cold
weather and the drifted street The
fire was soon extinguished upon their
arrival at the scene by the use of the
chemical.
1t seems that Mrs. Houlihan had
occasion to 60 up stairs during the
early part of the evening and while
there endeavored to find something in
a closet The closet was dark and
she struck match and it is thought
that the match ignited some of the
clothing hanging there. The fire was
not discovered until some time after.
wards, when one of the members of
the family went up stairs and smelled
smoke. Mr.. Houlihan was severely
burned about the hands and face en-
deavoring to extinguish the flames,
and it was found necessary to call a
doctor to dress the injured parts. 1t
is indeed fortunate that the house
was not burned to the ground.

N. e. CHOIR IN CONCERT.
Under Direction of Mr.. 3. J. Sibbert
the Sweetest of Cantatas, "The
First Christmas" to be Given.

The concert announced at the NJ. E.
church for Tuesday evening, January
23d, promises to be quite musical
event Our, splendid NJ E. choir has
given us several fine entertainments
in the past, but the coming program
will outclass anything ever before at.
tempted The offering will be that
beautiful cantata, "The First Christ
mas" by Ira Bishop Wilson, said to
be one of the sweetest cantatas ever
written. The choir has a membership
of 80 of our best local singers and for
this occasion will be ably supported
by Mr. Barborka's splendid orchestra
and the new pipe organ. A cordial
invitation is extended to all and it is
to be hoped that the church will be
crowded to capacity, thus encouraging
our local chOirs for their earnest ef-
forts in furnishing good music fifty
two Sundays in every year without
any financial remuneration. A small
admission fee of Csc will be charged.

DISTRICT COURT
NEXT MONDAY
4 Very Large Docket and Term. OF
Three Weeks in Store for
Those Interested.
JUDGE POWERS WILL PRESIDE
Damage Case of johnson vs.. Leonard
Detrck, Growing Out Of Auto
Accident to be Tried.

The January term of the district
court will convene on next Monday,
with Judge Powers presiding. 1t is
expected that the large number Of
cases on the docket for trial will be
disposed of at the coming term. For
some unaccountable reason there has
been quite an unusual accumulation
of business, and it is to be hoped the
next two terms will result in most OF
it being disposed Of. The judges seem
anxious to get rid of the business AMI
We think the fault cannot be charged
to them, but to the members of the
bar, who are responsible for the delay.
There are several cases of consider
able Importance to be tried at the
next term. The damage cases of John
son versus Leonard Detrick, growing
out of an automobile accident, are for
trial and they will be tried to jury.
The case of Philip Detrick versus
Isaac Patterson and Nellie Detrick
versus Isaac Patterson, for damages,
will also be- for trial. The case OF
Lenser versus LANCER, which is an
action for damages, will also be tried.
The SANDER case of Bertha Jochinl
against Thos. MichaelsOn is another
case for trial. The damage cases
against Crawford county and the Han
sen Construction company will prob
ably be for trial, although it is not
certain. There will probably be some
divorce cases and few criminal
cases to be disposed of.
The term will last three weeks and
it is expected to be busy one.

health for long time, but her final
sickness lasted only few days and

change for the worse took place Tues
day morning and she passed away
while sleeping about noon Thursday
Her daughter, Mrs. Clara Maddux, and
granddaughter, Mrs. Daisy Phillips,
had come from Nebraska for a visit a

Her son, Wilfred, who lives near Den

that she was growing. worse, but could
not get there in time to see her alive.
Mrs. Wiltred Huffman was unable to
come on account Of sickness. Her son,
Clyde, and wife came from their home
at Hardin, Mont, when the telegram
in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. Kepford, and
son, George, who has remained at
home, were also with their mother dur
ing her illness.
Mrs Huffman was lady of eXem.
plary christian character, devoted to
her family and kind to all. She was

SALOON LICENSES
ARE RE,ADJUSTED
Council Passes Ordinance Raising the
Licenses for the Three Saloons
to $500 Per Year.
THE COUNTY WILL LOSE $4,000
City Will Now Derive Same Amount
As Paid by Five Former Sa-
looms, but County Loses.

The saloon licenses for the three
Denison saloons, now operating un-
der the Moon law, was re-adjusted
and raised to $1,000 each, at meeting
of the city council held last evening.
Thus Denison will derive the same
revenue from the three saloons as was
paid by the five. Heretofore the five
saloons paid into the city treasury
$3.50 per month and the city received
$125 per month from the county mulct.
thus making 1915 per month or $4500
per year. The county received $500
after paying the city it's share of the
mulct> This amount is now reduced
to 5000.
The men operating the saloons seem
satisfied with the new ruling of the
council-in fact they had anticipated
a raise in the amount of the license.
An ordinance making this change ap-
pears in another part of this issue, and
it will be seen that the new ruling
takes effect January 31st. 1t is the
opinion in general that the council
acted very wisely in thus re-adjusting
the licenses, and that the demands of
the public have been agreeably met.
The council acted solely upon local
conditions and the fact that some Of
the other towns of the county are re-
ceiving what seems an almost prohib
|itive license did not enter into the de-
|liberations.
1t is understood that Martin Sag
gau contemplates removing from his
present location on West Broadway to
the building recently occupied by his
brother, John, and he is now in Mil
waukee purchasing new fixtures for
the room. In the event of his re-
moval it will be necessary to get a
new permit from the city council.
