WASHINGTON. June 12.-shortage
Of ships for military transport service
constitutes the biggest single prob

That the dispatch Of the bulk Of
the new army may have TO be delayed
by reason OF this lack Of transports
is admitted oy men in charge.
True, there are aufhcient ships TO
carry vast numbers OF soldiers. but
this is only a small part az the prob
lem. nasmuch as the men must be
constantly supplied with food cloth

This in itself is a tremendous task.
The army will require It's own we ght

News Of The Oil Fields

Barbourville, KY, April 22-In the
Kentucky petroleum fields some late
strikes of large capacity in the south
ern counties, bordering Tennessee, fea-
ture the weeks returns in completed
work Two wells of 100 barrels ca :
pacity each were drilled in Allen-co., a
district, distinct from other Kentucky
fields. One of these big wells was
drilled by the Republic Oil company
The White Plains Oil & Gas company
drilled the other 100 -barreler. In adj
dition to these wells a number OF
smaller strikes were made in Allen-co.
averaging ten barrels. Lack of ade-
quate market for Allen-co. production
has had little effect in checking drilling
Operations, about twenty rigs being UP
at the present time. Distance from
supply houses is handicap. A small
production is sent to a Nashville re-
finery, but most of the wells are idle
lawaiting better outlet than the pres
ont tank car arrangement.
Whitley, Knox and McCreary coun-
ties, forming a group in Southeastern
Kentucky, are very active spots just
now. A recent 200-barrel strike in Nc
Creary- CO., has attracted much atten-
ton. Late reports from this we'll
which was drilled in advance of pro-
duction, justify the earlier claims for
it. The producing branch of the Stan
dard Oil company, owners of this test,
is drilling its third venture. Last week
a 100000 cubic feet gas well was drill
ed into the Big Injun sand near Will
iamsburg, in Whitley-co., and dozens
OF operators have gone into the coun-
ty during the week, drawn by this big
gasser. The discovery of this deep
formation is an event of much signifi-
canoe.
Upper Kentucky developments, es-
pecially in Estill-co., may receive a set
back as result of the disastrous fire
at the Lewis Station, Morgan-co. A
35, ,000- barrel storage tank, filled to ca
pacity, was destroyed. along with the
pumping station, which was the in
tegral part of Estill and Powell coun-
ties marketing facilities. AS a result
no shipments have been made from
these two leading pools of the State.
Many wells will probably have TO stand
idle until the damage Is repaired, II is
stated. ard new drilling may be cur
tailed. In the past only 90 per cent. of
Ippduction from these fields has been
moved because Of Inadequate pipe lines.

N. F. conLEy. Publisher.

In scattered work one well Of ten
barrels capacity was drilled in Lee-co
this being No. 6, Hall tract. One late
pumper of moderate capacity is report
ed from Wolfe-co, Saltwater district,
with a well Of similar capacity drilled
in Lawrence-co., Busseyville pool.
A new advance in Kentucky petro-
leum during the week raised the bet
ter grade to $500 per barrel. The In
ferior grade, of which a very slimited
amount is produced. remains at 81 per
barrel. From all districts there is a
general report Of scarcity Of drilling
material. With operators anxious to
push developments as rapidly as pos
sible during the summer season, there
is scramble for every sort of material.
There is little second hand equipment
available, and manufacturers are no.
able TO furnish new stock to meet pres
ent demands This condition will
doubtless interfere to a great extent
with plans for greatly increased opera
tions in the Kentucky districts. There
are now nearly 200 drilling rigs in op-
Grafton in Kentucky and about doz-
en- in Tennessee.

milton HOLTON
killed BY TRAIN
FATAL ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN
LOUISA LAST SUNDAY
AFTERNOON.

One Of the saddest accidents that has
happened in this county for a long time
was that which ended the life of Milton
Holton. IL occurred in Louisa last Sun
day afternion on east Jefferson-st., in
front of the home of VIM. Hammond,
where the young man was boarding. He
stepped too close to a passing freight
train and met instant death. Just be-
fore the accident he had asked Miss
Claudia Hammond and the two daugh-
ters of Will Hammond to take a walk,
and they started just as a freight train
was passing. He said, Lets take a
ride" and stepped over near the track
and touched the cars, pretending to be
trying to catch hold. Then turning as
though to step away from the track the
witnesses were Mortified to see his body
dashed to the ground, one foot being
caught under the wheels and part of 1t
cut off. His head struck rock with
such force that death was instantane-
Gus. 1t all occurred so suddenly that
no one who saw it is clear as to the ex-
act cause, but it is believed a projecting
rod caught in his pocket.
The body was taken on Monday to
his home near Blame. The schools
were dismissed until the sorrowful pro-
cession moved out of town.
Mr. Holton was in his 21st year. He
was student in the law department OF
Kentucky Normal College and ranked
as one of the brightest and most worthy
students in the entire college. He was
a young man OF unusually high charac-
ter and ideals. His death caused pro-
found sorrow throughout the town and
has awakened sense Of the insecurity
of life as no other occurrence here has
done. The brittle thread of life was
snapped in such an unusual manner as
to bring realization OF the fact thai
danger turks at almost every footsteI
along life's pathway. and that constant
preparedness for death is the only safe
guard worth while.
The unfortunate young man was thu
youngest son of Mrs. Martha Swetnan
Holton, widow Of George Holton. On
brother and one sister survive. To thes'
the deepest sympathy is extended

CITIZENS SHOULD SHOW
REAL INTEREST IN ROADS.

The citizens who are endeavoring 20
perfect a Good Roads organization in
this county have unearthed a very
powerful enemy in the fight for good
roads. Il is said to be prevalent in
most every section of the county. and
lis n very potent reason for the road
conditions being so terribly bad. This
enemy to better conditions, which they
seek to dlslodge from its seemingly I'M
pregnable position Is lack of interest
upon the part OF the citizens or the
county In their roads, II is reported by
them that the worst mud hole on the
road between Charley and Louisa was
located on the road leading 10 Blaine,
within 200 feet Of good citizens
door, and almost opposite his front
door; there was twelve-incR tile cul-
vert right IN the mud hole, and II was
apparent TO one who could see that the
obstruction of the tile caused the mud
hole The fact OF this condition re-
naming unchanged throughout the
winter and up into the summer showed
lack OF interest upon the part OF those
who resided by II, but when IL was
discovered, BY going 10 the end OF the
culveft and looking into IL, that the
stoppage Of the flow OF water was
caused by a rabbit trap having been
placed In this culvcrt, it was very
patent that The people who passed over
this culvert did not have any interest
in the matter but just took the road
as they came oit, Any man who pass
ed this place could within two minutes
have removed the rabbit box and
thereby remedied this condition. II ID
to no purpose for person TO eAclainl
hle interest In roads without putting
into action the expressed desire to Sc.
cure them. at
