THE GAS QUESTION
Don't Let's strain ut a Gnat and
Swallow a Camel


The real reason for the applica-
tion for an increase IN the gas rate
from Csc 20 40c lies in the tact that
csc will not permit che Gas Company
to live and 40c will
We want natural gas In our town
II is one of our big attractions to
people who are seeking home loca-
lions The present we'll may supply
us with gas one year or IL may not.
That too, with limited service. The
price now paid will not warrant the
expenditure of additional capital to
seek for more gas and therefore, un-
less a better price can be obtained
the city will lose the gas plant and
the citizens can prepare to buy coal
ranges to take the place OF the handy
gas cooking stove.
Further, it is surety, that with
one Gas Company retiring from the
field because it could not live, 1t will
be difficult to get other capital inter-
ested and impossible unless higher
rate is paid. The officers OF the pre-
sent company are splendid citizens
and any VIC might get later (should
we be able to do so thru giving
them a higher rate than our own
people ask) could be no improve.
ment on them.
We, as sensible people, must re-
cognize that supplies and labor have
gone up tremendously and it is only
right that we pay for what we get.
We are not objects of charity in this
town. Do unto others as we would
be done by.
There is not a bank that would
run without profit, a lawyer with
out fees. a newspaper without adj
verifying and subscription list, or
grocer without his profit. A people
which drives away public utilities
because of RIGHTEOUSNESS gets no
where. Let us be fair. The books
of the Company we're open to the
City Council and a frank showing
was made which none can dispute.
Barbourville is the only town in
the mountains with natural gas, one
of the greatest comforts and home
labor savers we could have. Shall
we throw it away or give an induce
ment to the Gas Company to seek
for more gas? 1t should be under
stood that as the gas is failing stead
lily the new rate will make but little
difference in the revenue, since g.
economy will be praoticed and some
patrons will fall out.
Nothing can be done toward in
creasing the flow of gas from the
present we'll without a probability
of running our supply
1t is easy to cavll and say we will
not pay higher price, but that will
not keep the gas plant here. 1t is
easy too, to give the Gas Company |
a chance to stay and give us
the benefit of natural gas. The way
to do 1t is to allow the Increase of
rates.
Don't let us strain at a gnat and
swallow a camel.

OIL NEWS

In Clay County, the Associated
people are moving and setting up
rig no. 2 at Bear Creek which is a
new location. These people have
also some good paying wells in Lee
and Ousley Counties and feel sure
they will make good on Bear Cerek.
Two new drilling machines are
moving to upper Buffalo in Ousley
County where good wells are being
found in the Irvine sands at a depth
of 1000 to 1900 feet.
Mr. DOolan is moving a new ma
chine to Sections Greek, six miles be-
low Burning Springs, Clay County.
He has two good paying wells in the
Irvine sand. Mr. Doolan says the
of from $500 to2SOO feet in Knox
County and he has several holdings
to which he will move in Knox Coun-
ty in the near future.
We are reliably informed that a
survey has been made and lines
drawn from the Irvine field to Knox
County fields. Development will
soon begin in this County for oil in
the Irvine sand.
Oil is being found in the same
sand in Ousley, Leslie, Clay and
Breathett Counties. Operators say
on careful surveying that production
will be found in Knox County equal
to that of the fields of Texas and
Oklahoma.
Charlie and John Main were in
Lexington Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday and while there they talked
with men who have holdings in
Ousley, Clay and Knox and they pre-
dict Knox County will be the best
field in the State.

being some seyenty-iive feet too short
they abandoned the we'll. At that

the large majority OF the students
taking the agricultural course at the
Washington State college expect to
90 back TO the farm and to own or

college OF agriculture.
Seventy-hve of the hundred and hf-
teen students enrolled | nagriculture
during the spring term just closed
answered in detail the question as
to their plans for the future. Fifty
one OF these students were reared in
the country, and twenty-four in
towns. Out Of this number only
one student owns a farm now. but
fifty-five, or seventy.three percent,
expect to own or control farm with
in a period of five years after COM
pleting their college course. Thir-
teen of the number expect to inherit
a farm. and five Of tie thirteen were
reared in town.
Every one OF the students who did
not expect to own or control farm,
was planning OF do work OF an agri-
cultural nature, such as club work
for boys and girls, county agent
work. extension work in agriculture,
