Considerable excitement was cre-
ated early In the week when the
superintendent Of the Valley OIL
Company well arrived In Columbus
and hired a dozen extra men.
Investigation by the Courier re-
suited IN the Information that the
company was taking out the old
four-inch casing. which was down
2200 feet and replacing II with six
inch. enabling them 10 drill faster
with the underreamer. They are
now In forty feet Of varigated sand.
which means good indications.
II was some job replacing the old
casing, but the present showing Is
10 good that the extra expense was
warranted. The management are
more or less reticent which. read
ing between the lines as Il were.
means good news for local stock
holders.
The following was clipped from
the NJ Paso Herald OF wednesday:
Arrivals from Columbus, n. NJ
yesterday reported that the Valley
OH Company has resumed active
drilling operations on its well near
Columbus. and that prospects for
striking pay sand are brighter than
ever, The stock of the company
Is largely held in NJ Paso and Vi
cinity aud therefore there Is un-
usual interest here in the an
nouncement Of the resumption OF
Operations. Men who have fol-
lowed the log OF the well express
the conviction that few more
days Of active drilling will tell the
story"

of 1t as has Cosmo Hamilton's bril-
liant and daring comedy SCANDAL"

Chicago unhernlded, and without blar-
ing trumpets. 1t scored an instan-
taneous success, and following the
opening night to the termination of
the six months run, there was rarely
a vacant seat fuodn in the Garrick
Theatre. 1t was common and usual
sight to see a line of people at the
box office day after day.
scandal is in three acts, and is
conceded to be an example of the
finest writing the American stage can

gagged an ideal company to be seen in
this play. featuring Miss Ann Win

CHICAGO, Ill.--Two Chicago de.
tectives had their suspicious aroused
when they saw man entering IA
resort on State Street, carrying
typewriter under his arm. These sus.
picions were rendered more acute
when the man attempted to sell the
machine.
They therefore placed him under
arrest, and questioned him as to
where he had obtained the typewriter.
He claimed to have brought it with
him from Pittsburg. In order to test
his ability to operate the machine
one of the detectives asked him to
write the well-known practice sem
tence which most students of the
typewriter use when learning:
"Now is the time for all good men
to come to the aid of their party"
After several minutes of painstak-
ing effort the man with the type.
writer made such sorry botch. of
the sentence that his unfamili ity
with the art of typing was demon-
strated to the lieutenant's entire satis-
faction and he was locked up.

LONG LIVING BIRDS

Some birds live to great age
The age of 90 is known to have been
reached by a gray parrot, and there
are many statements of birds of the
parrot family having lived for more
than a century. The raven also is
credited with ..aving reached 1Oo
years. The domestic goose is an
other long lived bird. Many in
stances are known of geese attain
ing 40 years. The ordinary domestic
fowl is seldom allowed to die of old
age, but in some country places old
hens that have been made pets OF
are to be seen, and are allowed to
remain unit! they are 10 or ~ year,
old, having long previously ceased
to lay.

Canadian Farmers and allied inter-
ests are vigorously protesting the fix
ing of prices on pork products. The
farmers inability to make fair pro-
fit will curtail production, they assert
The price fixing movement in Canada
bears resemblance to the cOmpaign
against meat prices in this country
and the arguments produced are much
the same. 1t may possibly demons
tratc the SUCCESSOR failure-Of price
regulation before the United States
further commits itself to the expert
ment.
Some market critics believe that
cattle shortage is reflected in the firm
or rising prices which have mainly
prevailed for some weeks. Receipts
at Western markets have decreased
from last year, despite the heavy run
of range stuff. Recently the price ad-
vance has been less hampered by anti
packer agitation and the governments s
campaign against high prices.
The farmers opposition to the Lane
plan is natural in view of measures
proposed to restrict immigration. The
farmers. having suffered from short
age of labor, urge that eN-sOldiers be
settled on farms hitherto in cultiva-
tion. where they may acquire holdings
Of their own. rather than sent to re-
claim prematurely arid land which the

While any food surplus created under
the Lane plan might find an outlet in
export, this is by no means assured.

LIVESTOCK.

Sharp declines in the hog market
recently effected the lowest prices in
two years. The bulls found little en-
coura cement as gains were Immediate
ly wiped out. The country has been
cleaning up the old crop and receipts
have been large. Traders have been
uncquivOcally bearish. The cattle
market told different story. For
some weeks prices moved up or held
firmly. Traders talk still higher
prices. Buyers who have studied
eastern and southern grazing districts
report few more cattle available in
these regions. Prediction is made of
Il shortage. Packers have apparently
been averse to any advance in NUT
ton. Active feeder demand in sheep
was noted at times. tending to
siren gthen the market.

WOOL

Wool shows continued inactivity
without market change in price. The
government will resume it's sale of sur
plus stock next month as planned.
Manufacturers are doubtless awaiting
these auctions before buying heavily.
Word comes that the British govern
ment may follow the initial auction
sales at Boston now anticipated with
monthly shipments for so long time
as the American wool trade will alb
sorb them. This seems to be part of
Il broad scheme whereby the British
government intends reducing its pres
ent stock of 100000 bales and its
new clip of the same amount.
