WAGES ARE HIGH IN
 TEXAS, BUT ITS HOT

Wages are good in the Texas oil fields, but the climate Is anything but agreeable, according to a letter E. L. Laughlin received on the last mail from Ben Estby, former Alaska drillman, who is now in the transfer business in Northern Texas. His address is Iowa Park, Wichita coun- ty.
 Estby says that average drillers are now getting from $l0 to Sl5 d day, while experts command from $2O to S25 The hours are some what long, but the work is not hard, experience and a thorough knowi- edge of the business being the chief requirements.
 Carpenters are also well paid in that part of Texas, Ektby says, the going scale being $10 for nine hours work.
 But the climate--oh, boy, By way of illustration. Estby says he is down to the modest weight of l65 pounds now and thas he looks like a piece of leather. That's from the heat, which prevails during a large part of the year, And they also have rain there, he says; lots of it. It comes down ln torrents, and after few days of it, the soil becomes very affectionate, clinging to everything that gets near it.

Walter E. Edge, who is working hard
for its success, which is already as
sured, being also supported by the
Governors of the great states of New

these big operations will be a drain
on labor and materials and l cannot
see the reason why our City Council

ever to take advantage of the lull in

and get busy on putting our City in a
clean, sanitary condition and that will
never happen until PleasantYille has

Hubin on Sewerage.

Editors Pleasantville Press:-
Coming from Philadelphia last Mon
day on the electric train, upon reach
ing Pleasantville | overheard the fol-
lowing dialogue:
Nice little city this, Pleasantville.
Answer-Yes, nice little city of
cesspools. The people of Pleasant
vile are not very keen on hygiene and
sanitation.
Upon a mental digest, l have con-
cluded to assist The P%leasantville
Press and it's wide-awake Editor in
discussing the subject of sewerage dis
posal and thereby arouse public action
of the citizens. l have always used
pen and words against the pollution
of lakes, rivers and harbors with crude
sewerage, because of the infection
cesspools conveyed to the consumer
and the loathsomeness. At the last
Medical Convention here, l had the
pleasure of hearing a welllearned
physician lecture on that subject; he
professedly resided in Sweden, Nor
way, France and England for more
than five years, and found upon care
full investigation and observation that
wherever a sewerage disposal system
was adopted the death rate and sick
ness were reduced by one-half of the
normal death rate. 1t is plainly shown
that when a city increases in popula-
ton, modern methods must be intro
duced to provide lea for comfort
and ~well-being. We have installed ell
ectric lights, gas, water, good roads,
and we must have sewerage, and now
is the right time to start. l have
spoken to some of the most prominent
builders in this country, and they all
say labor and material are nearly as
low as it will eve get, and after the
readjustment goes into effect condi-
lions will change with a steady adj
vance in prices, both for labor and
material. When our Merchant Marine
gets started right, America will enjoy
the greatest export trade in its his
tory. Prosperity is just beginning and
with the warning nations depleted, all
foreign countries will look to America
to supply their needs. Then again,
with the new State Highway, the big

phia to Camden, fathered by our pro-
