Two Coed Producers.

On Saturday the Revere Oil
Company drilled in it's No. 2 on
the w. H, Ayers farm on Trace
Fork and it is good for from GO t.
70 barrels natural. The drill had
just penetrated the sand when
the well commenced to flow and
when it is drilled through the
sand and shot it may make a
much better producer. The COM
pany is composed of w. III. Ayers,
A. R. Whipkey and several Par
kersburg parties. This may
prove to be a valuable field and
the gentlemen are to be congrat-
ulated on their good fortune.
In the Bells Run field the
South Penn drilled in McCon-
aughey No 8 and is a producer
of about the same rank as those
formerly struck in the same field,
probably being good for 35 or 40
barrels.

No Improvement for Little Kanawha
this Session.

Washington, d. G. January 25.
The secretary of war sent in
an adverse report on the PROPOSE
ton to improve the Little Kanaw-
ha river today. Major P. w.
Alstatter, of the corps of engi-
neers, under an authorization in
the last river and harbors act,
surveyed the Little Kanawha
with view to a modification of
the locks and dam. 1t was pro-
posed to deepen the river and
widen the locks so that coal bar
ges could pass through. The re-
port of the board of engineers
says:
THE board is satisfied of the
existence of large quantities of
coal in the upper section of this
river. 1t does not believe.
however, that there would be
any prospect of getting this coal
out by water with anything less
than a complete new system at a
cost of approximately $4,000, 900
to IS, 900, 900.
1t would be practical to Sc
cure light draft navigation by the
modified plan suggested at a cost
of 81, 5000 but this would be
of little value and in the opinion
of the board would not result in
benefits commensurate with the
cost. The board is forced there
fore to concur in the opinion of
the division engineer that the
Little Kanawha river is not
worthy of further Improvement
at the present time"
The report was signed by Gen.
H. H. Bixby, chief of engineers
of the United States Army, and
Secretary Stimson of the war de-
partment.

Mammoth Oil Field.

Down on Blue Creek in Kanaw-
ha county a pool of oil has been
found that bids fair to Guido the
Copley and Shinnston fields.
The William Seymour Edwards
Oil Company, lately known as
the Hamilton Oil Company, drill
ed in its No. 2 on the Graham
farm last Thursday and it is
thought to be good for five
thousand barrels daily. After
the we'll was drilled in the flow
held up at something over 200
barrels an hour until all the tank
age was filled and it became ne
cessary to shut it in. This well
is said to be the largest produc-
ing oil well east of the Califor-
mia fields and is the largest drill
ed in within the limits of the
State since the Shinston pool as
founded the world and piled w
millions for its producers
The next day after the above
well was drilled in two new wells
were completed in the same
field, one by the Davison-Gates
Company thought to be good fol
from 800 to 800 barrels and the
other by the Ohio Fuel Oil Com
pany, from which the production
will amount to 1000 barrels dai
ly.

Get the kindling ready the

ure these cold mornings, to find
a wei! filled basket all ready.
Do not waste time and energy
trying to wash the bean pot the
same day it is emptied. Put il
in pan of water for day, and
then it will clean easily.
The best way Of cleaning the
rubbers on a wringing-machine
is to rub them clean with cloth
dipped in coal-oil. 1t won't do
any harm if the rubber absorbs a
little.
If you want to make the very
best coffee, free from grounds
and which will need no straining,
try the experiment of putting it
in a little muslin bag before
placing it in the pot. You will be
surprised at the result.
The cold strikes up through a
mattress that just rests on
springs, and makes one cold in
bed at night. Lay one or two
thicknesses Of newspaper over
the springs; this will keep out
the cold and save the mattress
from wear.
Being alone in the house, and
hearing burglars downstairs, a
woman had the presence of mind
to take a large paper bag, blow it
full Of air, then break in on the
wall of the stairs. Mistaking the
loud report for a pistol shot, the
robbers fled.
Never put the children to bed
when they are nervous or fret

words on your lips. A persons

the sleep so it is imperative that
such thoughts be quiet, happy
ones at bedtime. And do not
neglect the little goodnight sto-
ries.
There are some time-saving

skins uncut to keep juice in.
Now put potatoes also with the
skins on in the same kettle, and
the two vegetables cook nicely
together; only beets must go in
first and boil much longer. They
will not discolor the potato. -

POst-ElectiOn Primary Plan Endorsed
by West Virginia Congressman.

Democratic members of Con.
gress from West Virginia have
added the weight of their en-
/ dorsement to the senatorial pri-
mary plan suggested by Col.
Albert S. Johnson, of the Mon
! roe Waterman. The following
are extracts from interviews
with the several congressman:
Congressman John w. Davis,
of the first district, said: 1.-The
, suggestion for holding a primary
after the general election to Sc
lect a democratic candidate for
the United State senate meets
with my approval. l think it is
a fair suggestion and one which
can not operate to the advantage
of any candidate as against his
opponents; nor do see any OBJ
lection that can be urged against
it, which can not be equally
urged against a primary to be
held at any other time"
Congressman w. G.. Brown, of
the second district, said: Il be-
lieve that United States sena-
tor should be elected by a direct
vote of the people, but until that
can be accomplished l certain y
advt cate primary election.
Whether this primary election be
held on the day of the general
election or subsequent thereto
can make but little difference.
What the Democrats want is an
open field and a fair fight. Let
the state executive committee
adopt either of these suggestions
and l believe the people through
out the state will be satisfied"
Congressman Adam B. Little
page, of the third district. said:
Il am in hearty accord with the
plan suggested by Senator Wat
son to eliminate the senatorial
contest from the state campaign.
/ consider it the most important
suggestion which has been made
in the interest of the democratic
party in years and l believe it
will result in great democratic
victory if it is adopted. l be-
lieve all the time in the people
and in their judgment and their
right to select their own candi-
dates. / think they have as
much right to select their candi-
date for senator as for congress-
man, and / think it especially
wise that the selection should be
made after the general election
so as to eliminate any feeling the
senatorial contest might engen-
der and free the other candi-
dates from it's effect. l think
Senator Watson has made a
splendid suggestion and hope it
will be adopted by the state COM
mittee."
Congressman John M. Hamil-
ton, of the fourth district, said:
IF a primary election is to be
held for the nomination of a can
didate for senator, it should by
all means be held after the gen
eral election. There is a strong
sentiment among the people of
my district for the primary cleo
ton system and it would seem to
be the fairest method of deter
mining the democratic candidate
for the senatorship this year.
By postponing the selection OF
the senatorial candidate till after
the legislature is elected, harmo-
NOUS and united work for the
state ticket and all other candi.
dates on the ticket is assured,
leaving differences as to the sen.
atorial preference to come w
after the ticket has been elected,
effectually preventing the weak.
ening of the general ticket be-
cause of a senatorial contest.
