WANTS To DRILL
A TEST WELL
NEAR THE CITY
PROVIDED THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE WILL ADHERE TO
ITS FORMER OFFER TO PAY A
BONUS.

Some time ago the Chamber OF
Commerce made as offer of ten thou
sand dollars to anyone who would
bring in a successful oil well within
ten miles of the city, but no one was
disposed to accept the offer at the
time. and il was allowed to be for
gotten.
Yesterday, James H. Mathers and
his associates, who were successful
in the Wildcat Jim enterprise. asked
the secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce if that body would still make
good the promise, provided a com.
pany could be secured to take
chance.
The proposition was that the
amount be raised and placed in a
local bank. The company doing the
drilling, if they succeeded in bringing
in a good well, would receive the
bonus, otherwise nothing would be
paid them and they would have their
work for nothing
Mr. Mathers stated yesterday that
they were prepared to make the test
and go as far as three thousand feet,
but did not diyulge where they pro
posed to make this test. !
Secretary West stated this morning |
hat he would take the matter up with |
he business men of the city, and

who could only give me temporary
relief. | had been in bed ten weeks
when l began the use Swamp-Root
Inside of twenty-four hours I could

flied. I continued to use Swamp
Root until had used several bot
ties when l really felt that nv old
trouble was completely cured and
I am positive that any person suf'
fering with kidney or liver trouble
can be cured by the use of this
preparation. >,
I am now in the best of health,

The monthly meeting of the su-

The monthly meeting of the su-
pervisors, on Monday last, was at
tended by large number of coun-
ty people. Road matters occupied
the attention of the Board most OF
the day, and a few important mat
tiers relating to that phase Of bust
ness we're brought up and acted
upon.
One purpose, expressed by the
Board, was greeted with hearty ap
proval, and that was to hurry t"
competitions all contracts so thai
work could be done at once.
Apropos of tits subject, we are
pleased to hear travellers compii
.menting Mr.. Whistleman's work Or
the sections contracted for on Shen
andoah and Shaw's Ridge. He is
praised for the early and rapid com
pletion of his work as we'll as for
the manner in which he is doing it
1t is conceded by all road people
that the hest interests of the ccuu-
ty, the travelling public and tn
contractor himself are conserve !
when the roads are put in ship
shape early in the season, and no
other policy should be tolerated by
the Superintendent.
Another road question brought
to the Boards attention was the
making of the "missing link" in
the new outlet between John Pages
and the S. & P. pike on Little
Back Creek, and a commission Was
appointed to ascertain the most de-
sirable and practicable location fo'
this connection between the new
road built several years ago-and
the old road near Mr.. Pages resi-,
dence.
The Board was also urged to
make a fill and gravel a short Sec
ton near w M. Trimble's residence
on the Vanderpool road. AS to
one point there was not a dissent
ing voice: the crying need of the
improvement.

the loss of the wheat cargo. This an

says the case will be taken to the
prize court.
Official reports from Petrograd say

trian armies in two in the Carpath
ians and that Smolnik is in the hands
of the cars forces.
The official reports from Berlin AMI
Paris tell of the fierce fighting arollnd

seeking a separate peace with Russia
and one of the other allies, so thai
she may be better prepared to defend
herself against Italy.
