SUCCESSFUL FAnUREEoF
ANDY REAGAN IN GAS,

In the November American Maya
zine E. Albert Apple writes a story
entitled ANDY Reagan Successful
Failure" In which appears the fol-
lowing discussion of the excitement
attendent upon the discovery of gas:
"A crowd of several hundred han
gathered near the oil derrick. Here
comes the shooter!' shouted boy,
and the crowd scattered. hundred
yards away some one stopped and so
did the rest feeling-with the con-.
Idence which people in danger place
in others, but Which they do not have
when they are sccurc--that 1t was A
safe distance.
THE Shooter began impressive GER
cm0nies. He ran an aluminium meas
uring line down the twenty-etght-
hundred-fOot hole. studied It's marks
carefully, glanced at the sun, wiped
his hands on u piece Of waste, paused
to remember whether his Insurance
policy was paid up-and lowered one
hundred and fifty quarts OF nltrogly-
cerine that might explode al any mo.
meut down the we'll The tin tubes
sank into the ground-past the sur
face soil-beyond the roCk-through
the series Of sands-reaChed the bot
tom and stopped. The shooter drop
ped cast iron go-devil down the
deep hole and ran.
Nothing happened. Al least, for
several minutes.
Then came a dull boom. The
ground trGmbled slightly.
IAN uneasy Kissing came from the
well. 1t grew to roar. Presently a
vapor began to shoot up from the
pipe. Gravel and small pebbles pelt-
ed the derrick cross-arms like shot.
Suddenly the we'll coughed. There
we're few preliminary Squirts OF
dark fluid. Then. with laundering
roar, came Il mighty gush Of oil and
the derrick was burst asundcr, fall
| ing in all directions. hurled IN pieces
high above the ground. a black gcy-
seryshot in steady stream into tho
air and drcnched the field for acres
around.
"The crowd went mad: shouted

that II knew there was something
there all along, ran to tell the news.
"a gushcr! shouted Reagan trem-
nlously. at last--a gnsher"
He could not hear his own voice
ABOVE the shrieking of the we'll. Tic
boss driller wrung Reagans hand
and ran forward. Reagan could not
move. He was back in Olean drillins

NoARD LIKELY TO PUT EXPERT
IN CHARGE OF BRIDGE AND
ROAD WORK.
MAKING INQUIRY
FOR SUITABLE MAN
Supervisor Maytag Active in Support
ina Plan to Employ Expert to Have
Supsrvisjon Of Contract Work and
Road Work and Bridge Work of All
kinds-May Not Act at Once.

Sentiment within the board and pub
tic opinion that is favorable will per-
haps result in the board Of supervisors
employing county engineer. An in
curry regarding suitable engineer has
been set on foot by Supervisor D. c..
Maytag, and the outcome Of it may De
that an expert will be employed by the
county within the next thirty or sixty
days.
Supervisor Maytag has been IN favor
Of hiring an engineer ever since NE
took seat on the board. Supervisor W..
A. Nichols is not openly opposed to the
plan.
The reasons advanced in support of
the employment Of an engineer is that
the county should have competent
man to have direct charge and be re-
sponsible for the construction work
done every year by the county. II en-
ployed. the engineer would be the in
spector Of concrete bridges built by
contract, he would have direct super
vision over the bridge work done by
the county, and have general superVls-
ion of the road work. In this latter
work, he would be particularly usetuu
in establishing permanent grades Tor
highways, and especially SO if any per-
manent highways were laid in the
county.
