Rousing Oil Meeting

Last Wednesday night, the
stockholders of the New Mexico
Electra Oil Company held what
what might be termed a Love
Feast" at the offices of the com
pany in the Lutz Building. Pres
ident Henry Lutz called the
meeting to order, and gave a
graphic description of the work
now going on at the Kate Cum
ningham and Sunshine tracts.
Mr.. Lutz told Of certain draw
backs, such as rainy weather,
the long distance supplies must
be trucked, Inconvenience
by the delay and misfortunes in
the oil field that the general pub
lie are, to a certain degree. ig-
norant Of. He assured the stock
holders however, that their
interests were being properly
taken care of, and told of two
good wells they now have, and
of the third which is now being
drilled to a depth of /, 700 feet.
This is expected to bring the
heaviest flow of them all.
The last mentioned we'll has
been drilled to a depth nearing
the third sand, which Is expect
ed to contain an abundance of
the coveted fluid. Leading stock
holders in the company were
present, and all backed up Ptesi-
dent Lutz in saying that patience
at the present time was the one
thing necessary to future sue
cessful developements.
The meeting ended by all pres
ent renewing their confidence in
President Lutz, and besides this
expression of confidence, voted
to allow him full power to use all
money needed in his judgment
to further the interests of the
New Mexico Electra Oil Co.
If we continue to let the pro-
Germans speak illof our country,
it will be only a question Of time
until we will not have a country
to talk about, one way or another.
A country worth fighting for
is worth saving for. Buy

STOCK UP WITH WOOD
transportation the Difficulty in secur.
ing Coal, Says Graham-Not Enough
Cars Available

Montpelier. April 2s.-Coal has received
so much publicity from day to day and
week to week that the real situation may
not be clearly understood. In compliance
with requests to give his views of the coal
situation, Governor Graham makes the
following statement:
"Car shortage Is responsible for the
coal situation. There Is enough coal and
there are miners enough. Miners stick to
the mines as farmers stick to the soil.
Not just since the war began. but for
several years, there have not been enough
railroad coal cars to give the majority Of
miners employment for more than an
average of four days per week. Next to
the car shortage is the lack of sufficient
motive power to haul the increased ton
mage required by the war. The coal mines
are not located at tidewater. Coal carried
by water has to be hauled by rail to a
river or seaport. Then after being handled
on and off barge. is again shipped by
rail to inland destinations. The towage
available for manufacturing coal Is great
ly reduced because many tugs and barges
have been required to coal ships.
1.-THE cost and delay of transporting coal
is considerably increased in winter. All
persons who arrange to burn wood or
reduce the consumption of coal. will rem
der patriotic service. BY so doing, fewer
railroad cars will be required to haul coal
Those who absolutely have to have coal
should get 1t whenever they can and make
exceptional effort to unload coal cars al
the earliest possible moment.
ITO sum UP. transportation conditions
make coal scarce; use wood II you can
IL you have to use coal. be ready to take
1t when you can get it."

FOUND DEAD IN FIELD
Body OF Gustavus smith OF Middlebury
Badly Burncd-Believcd TO Have
been Overcome by Illness

Middlebury. April 2s.--Gustavus Smith,
well known Mddlebury man. was found
dead on piece of land owned by him at
what Is known as the Mile Bridge. one
mile south of this village, at about $50
o'clock this morning. Mr.. Smith had re-
manned away from his usual stopping
place longer than usual and as he was
man of unusually steady habits his alb
sence gave rise to alarm among his
friends. As a result searching party
comprised of NJ. T. Buttert1eld. with whom
he lived. Humphrey Sullivan. John Nc
Manon. Ira LaFleur. Earl Gorham and
Charles Shaw started about midnight Sat-
urday to look for him. It was known that
he had been burning brush yesterday on
a piece of land he owned adjoining the
Piper lot and he went back after dinner
It is thought that the fire had spread from
the Smith lot to the Piper land and that
Mr. Smith had gone over there to put 1t
ont. He was found dead. lying on his left
side. where fire had been. but had died
out. His legs were burned badly from
the shoes to the hips. The flesh was
partly burned from his right hand. while
his mustache and part of his hair was
burned off although his hat was still on
his head. His face was also slightly
burned.
1t is not known just what was the cause
Of his death. but 1t is probable that Mr..
Smith fell to the ground dead from an at
tack of heart trouble or that he suffered
a shock and was smothered by smoke In
that helpless condition. The remains we're
were brought to the undertaking rooms OF
A. J. Blackmcr in this village. Funeral
arrangements have not been made.
Mr.. Smith was born in New Haven and
spent most of his life in Middlebury and
was in the 65th year of his age. He came
from a well known family. which is now
extinguished by his death, his wife and
only child and his two brothers. Henry
and Grin Smith, having preceded him to
the grave. He is survived by three nieces
Mrs. Gooding of Rutland. Mrs. Rena
Pierce. who lives in the West. and Ger
