about twenty-five years ago at a cost

and by Mrs. Barber until her death, a

Oil Prices Soar While
Production Is Greatest

In the face of the fact that the last
year broke all records for the produc-
ton of petroleum in the United States
and the further fact the Adm!nistra-
tion has just busted the Standard
Oil monopoly, there have recently been
phenomenal rises in the price of oil
throughout the country.
Washington Is hard hit along with
the rest OF the country. Here the price
of kerosene has jumped from cents
a gallon to cents, and the price of
gasolene has advanced from 8 cents to
l512 cents.
According to one local oil dealer, the
price of gasolene has advanced more
than 40 per cent in the last five or six
weeks.
Standard Oil representatives say the
reason for the increase in prices is
shortage Of oil. The Government re-
ports. however, show oil production ID
unprecedented.

Not Enough Room
For All Congressman

Camp stools instead of mahogany
easy chairs may be the official seats in
the next Congress for 'forty-odd new
members OF the House. Capitol attaches
have discovered that there Is no room
on the House floor for more seats for
the new members, when the House
Membership is increased from 1893 to
AIS members March 4 under the recent
reapportionment
That it is impossible to provide desk
room on the floor for the new members
is declared. Superintendent Elliott
Woods. of the Capitol building force,
is struggling with the problem, which
promises to cause a torrent of criticism
from newly-elected members.
At present the floor space of the
House chamber is jammed with desks
built solidly together. Rearrangment
of the whole floor and aisles Is neces-
sary to provide space for the extra
members. Because Of the late adjourn
ment of Congress Superintendent Woods
says it is a physical impossibility to
rearrange the desks of the House cham
ber before Congress reconvenes, Decem-
ber g. II will be In continuous session
thereafter until March 4. Then II is
probable that an extra session will be
ifnmedtately called, when the new men,
uers will assume office.
Rut some Of the old members may be
left to the "campstoor' section, as
seats are drawn for by lot by all Rep
resentatiN es alike.

Bar.ber's Testimony Gets
Prisoner Off Lightly

Charged with carrying concealed

the case Judge Muilo%ny dismissed

mony to the effect that he returned

Will Submit Designs
Of Hydro-aeroplane

Several hydro-aeroplane manufacture
ers have notified the Navy Department
that they intend to submit designs for
hydro-aeroplanes, to be used by the
United States navy. Recently Rear Ad-
miral Philip Andrews. asked that the
manufacturers submit designs Of hydros.
Such designs will be held In confidence.
The last Congress appropriated alto
gether about 5000 for the advance
ment of aviation from a naval stand
point. OF this amount $4,000 Is to be
used in the purchase of motors and for
repairs that might be necessary in the
construction of aeroplanes, and the rest
for purchase of hydros.
1t Is the hope of the navy that some
of the manufacturers will be able to
build a hydro-aeroplane that will easily
land and descend from the deck of a
battleship. AS II Is today. 1t Is neces-
sary for the machines to be lowered
from ships by the use of a launching

BARREL GATHERING.

Though two months away the boys are actively engaged in the gathering of barrels for the annual Thanksgiy- ing fires, and they are naturally fol- lowing the habit Of long line of predecessors iA making their collec- tions as large as possible. Because # is( 2 custom which Is peculiar to Norwich and too old to be dropped in these days when eld-fashioned things are so much in vogue, there is a to1- eratieH of the barrel stealing, which will go on until the fires are lighted in November. In this toleration the boys fail to appreciate the discrimination in their behalf and the fact that law breaking is for the most part over- looked only spurs them on to further and greater depredations. It is the fact that the barrel gangs fail to appreciate the latitude that is allowed them which stirs up the sentiment against them.
 They are not content until they in- wade not only yards. trampling down flowers and vines, but buildings, and in many instances empty many bar rels or boxes regardless of what they contain, whether 1t bs garbage and ashes, or produce ready for the mar ket or in storage Tor the winter. Most people would be willing to make dona- tions to the cause with proper respect on behalf of the gangs. but half ths fun Is lost unless there is an adven- ture connected with each barrel. With the price of barrels higher than ever and too few at that, barrel gathering Is likely to suffer at the hands of ar indignant public and lose Its popular ity.

FALSE 10 HIS FRIENDS.

The Clapp Investigation committee
 has only commenced its work, and yet it has dug up a whole lot of interest
 ing facts connected with the contri-
 buttons to the Roosevelt campaign funds in this and other campaigns. It Is shown that the people who were and are so anx1ous to have the third
 termer run for the presidency are Per kins, Munsey, Hanna and Finn. but
 from the declaration which went throughout the land from ''me'' the in- ference was that practically all the republicans and most of the democrats sought him for the breaking of the custom which all other and greater presidents had refused, or been de- nied. In the campaign of 1904 it is shown that Hartman did contribute handsomely to the funds and was an adviser of the president and later he was thrown down. He had served the purpose and was east aside, without all of his wishes being compiled with.
 The New York Evening Post looks upon the claim of no promise and no bargain in their relations in this prsc- tical light: By the men with whom he was dealing this was not thought necessary. Their understandings in such affairs were always taeit. If a man took their money they expected him to act accordingly. And this must have been perfectly we'll known to Roosevelt Yet he took the money and then did not live up to the implied agreement. He sought their help and then sold them out. This Is what they have consistently said ever since, and 1t is an interpretation which the ugly facts bear with ease" The third-termer is the same crafty self -centered politician today that he was then. He was as deep in the mire as they were in his effort to be re- elected. He got and used their money
 He was in the ring, but didn't play fair. How many of his followers are placing the same trust in him today that E. H. Hartman did7 Being false to his friends, what can others expect

MUCH COMPLAINT ABOUT DEER

There continues to be. much trou- ble throughout the state from the damage done by the deer, which injure trees and crops in the freedom which they enjoy by state law. Every farm CT knows What nuisance they are and the town officials in particular md that the damage they are doing amounts to respectable sums at the close of the year. The deer are pro- teetsd by law for 8 period of five years longer, or until 1917, it having been extended from 1911. While it is provided that owners of land who And deer damaging their crops can shoot them, the burden of proof that the deer was. actually doing him dam age rests upon him. It is not usual that the farmers see the deer when they are doing the damage, but they find where they have been upon look ing over their fields, and then the bur- den of expense falls on the town.
 So extensive has become the damage which the towns have to settle, that 1t is not strange that the feeling ii growing that the deer are a luxury which could be we'll dispensed with There has been a. strong advocacy 0, the repeal of the act concerning deel and 1t will be quickly done if sufTi. cient towns are made to feel the ex. pense.
