The long continuance of the frigid
/ weather that has prevailed for nearly
3 month past has so paralized all
business at this place and the adjoin-
ing community that there is scarcely
any work being done by any person at
all or neither is there much traffic.
Only a portion of the farmers and
residents of the adjoining neighbOr-
hood, who come to town to do the
necessary marketing, hence news is
scarce and hard to gather up at the
present time.
But TO the credit of its people taken
collectively, there has not been a
single person or family reported this
winter so far, Notwithstanding those
regions that have suffered for the
want of food or fuel and everybody
seems to be well and happy.
We are in possession of a cOmmuni-
cation from Mr.. L. S Lupher, of Ian
caster, Ohio president of the Oil and
Gas Company that operated in this
county through their representatives
last winter and spring, securing
leases of farms for the right of way
to put down wells for oil and gas. |
Among other things he said that they |
expected to commence a test well in 1
this vicinity before this, but on ac-
count of the present condition of the |
country it is almost impossible to OBJ |
tain materials such as they use, and |
even if purchased could not get trans
pOrtatiOn for same He believes that
the people realize this and it is their
aim to make a test at the earliest
possible time.
In accordance with their agree
ments in their leases with the differ
ent land owners to pay an annual rent
to the lessons in quarterly INSTALL
ments in advance after the expiration
of one year after the lease is given
until such time as they can put in a
test well on the land, are sending the
same out to the different lessons as
they become due in accordance with
their agreement.
Therefore those who are sceptical
and have been doubtful as to the feas-
Utility OF the project, their fears may
be dispelled when they consider the
hundreds of dollars paid in rentals,
even for the thousands of acres of
land they have under lease in this
county.

ty was pretty well observed in this

as well as obedient to the commands
