WARRANT INTEREST REDUCED
County Commissioners Reduce Inter.
est on County Warrants from
Eight to Six Per Cent.

MONTESANO, May 12-On and
after May Is, all county current ex-
pense warrants will be stamped "6
per cent interest"
Always heretofore county warrants
have drawn 8 per cent interest. They
have been considered one of the best
investments in the country and as the
interest was large there was always
plenty of people glad to take them
even when there was no funds in
sight for long time.
Under the new law, it is optional
with the officials if they even allow
s per cent. If conditions would war.
rant doing so, they could cut the
rate to 4 per cent. AS, under this
new law all funds will be practi-
cally on a cash basis hereafter, 6 per
cent is considered enough interest

BELIEVES OIL
DISCOVERY sure.
Oil Expert Woodard Is I'm
pressed with Hob River
Districts Prospect
SELECTS POINT TO DRILL.
Goes After Machinery, and
Expects to Be Drilling
By Middle Of June

George E. Woodard, of Owata.
Okla, one of the best known prac'
tical oil men of that territory, re-
turned Saturday from the Hob river
district and one of the statements
he made that night was:
81 have never seen an oil'prospect
as rich as the one at the Hob. The
prospects surpass anything l have.
ever heard of, as we'll as seen, in any
field. and in addition, the oil is of
such superior quality
Mr.. Woodard will leave this week,
the exact date has not been decided,
to purchase and superintend the
shipping of drilling outfit. He ex.
poets to have work under way by the
middle of June and believes results
should be shown by the middle Of
August.
On the trip Mr.. Woodard was &C.
companied by A. w. Lane, of the
Jefferson Oil company, in whose en-
ploy the former is, and r. B. Mother.
we'll of Aberdeen and Messrs. Rush
aube and Teck of Milwaukee. These
two latter represent a syndicate OF
wealthy Milwaukee men and Mr..
Rushaube is geologist of known
ability. After looking over the Hob
district he declared he believed it .
very rich oil district, one of the rich
est, in fact, of his experience.
Mr.. Woodard will use a standard
drilling outfit and will start with .
16-inch hole. He expects to find oil
within $500 feet, but does not ex-
pect to strike, it at less than 1900
feet. 1t is probable that work will
be carried on continuously when
started and Mr. Woodard believes
so days after the start, at the out
side, will see results.
He has selected a point to drill
about quarter of a mile from the
big seepage on the Jefferson com.
pany's property.
The machinery will be taken on
scows from Grays Harbor.
President J. D. Crary of the JET
ferson company announced Saturday
night that it is the intention to hold
a meeting at which not only the
holders of stock in the project but
also the public generally will be well
come, early this week, probably
Tuesday night, and Mr.. Woodland will
be asked to tell the people just what
he found in the Hob river district
and also what he believes, as q prac.
tical oil man, may be expected.

MACk'S SHiNGLE MILL
BURNS TO GROUND

Elma, May 1O.-The shingIe mill
near Mack's Spur, Familiarity known
as Macks mill, was burned to the
ground on Tuesday afternoon. The
mill together with 10000 shingles.
was a total loss, but the dry kiln
and the great amount of shingles it
contained was saved. The men about
the mill were laying a new roof on
the dry kiln when they heard the
crackle of the flames. The fire at
that time was in the roof, and before
they could get any water on the
blaze the fire was beyond their con-
troll.
e. A. Leonard is at present run
ming this mill, and he has not yet
figured his loss. He is partly protect
ed by insurance. Mr.. Leonard will
start to build a new mill at once
and the fire has not discouraged him.

According to the Board of Trade Re

According to the Board of Trade Re-
port the prices in food which had
steadily fallen from 1871 to 1896 rose
again to the level of 1884 by 1912; so
that the prices are higher today than
they have been for 20 years. Put
ting the wholesale prices of articles,
the retail prices of food in London,
and wages at 100 for the year 1900, the
figures for 1892 were 1O2 1O4 and 80
respectively; for 1912 115, ia and 1O3.
London rents are II per cent higher
than the rents in provincial towns.
Generally speaking there was a de-
crease in rents 8 per cent, due no
doubt to the great amount of emigra-
ton. Between October 1905 and Oct.
1912 the average increase in the cost
of commodities was 1877 allowing for
the reduction in the price of tea and
sugar. The working classes have had
to meet these changes by lowering
their standard of dietary.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS IN SOUTH
PEI Il Abe

BElLAiRE
Last week or few day sooner saw
action being taken by the Belmont
County Commissioners in regards to
the paving on the Shadyside pike
which was not completed by the Wheel
ing Traction company, when it was
laid.
The paving on the above named road
has been done couple of years and
the track of the street car company is
maintained the same as railroad, no
paving or filling of any kind whatever
being done to make it passable for wag-
ons or foot travel if such was demand
led.
What a great many people would
like to know is why the above named
company was not forced to agree when
they were granted the franchise for
their line to Shadyside to pave their
tracks the same as they do elsewheIe,
instead of allowing it to go on for a
year or two. The road is very narrow
anyway is some places and in the most
dangerous places at that and it is a
hard proposition for two teams to pass
without going slow. The paving which
was finished UP in South Bellaire last
spring has made17a big improvement
to that end of the city after about
two years of trouble by people using
that thourghfare but what is troub-
ling them now is the question as to
whether the city officials intend to
wait another twenty years before they
put down side walks or whether they
are supposed to walk in the middle of
the street and run the risk of being

The news of the Socialist victory in
Martins Ferry was good news to the

the fact that the Socialists beat out

other city officials have seen the hand

make few improvements to the city
