FORMER GARRETT COUNTY
MAN NOW TEXAS OIL MAGNATE
Michael Thomas Healy, Born and
Reared At Swanton.

RedTSu Al ON anton.
Michael Thomas Healy,oI Brecken-
rlge, stephens county, IeXas, former
ly OF owanton, Garrett county, now
an InnuenIiai uIl magnuJe, is elabo-
rateIy featured IN the current issue
OF me tUrt worth Oil News by Z.
W. hleme. Inc story, in part, I1I-
lows:
Michael Thomas healy was born
in 1866 at owanton, Garrett county,
Maryland, d section noted IN history
as the proprietary lands Of Lord Bal
tlmore. ms father was employed on
the Baltimore " ONO raHroad and
opportunities for making a livelihood
at the time when Nike grew to man
hoOu were few, owing 10 the recon-
struction period following the Civil
War, when all industry was paralyzed
owing to the nVe years OF military
STRIFE between the cOnJendmg forces
Oh North and South, wnIch nau laId
to waste practically every medium
OF business endeavor.
As a result OF the conditions of the
times, Mike followed INTO the IooJ-
steps of his sire and secured posi-
tlon at one dollar day on the rail
road, which winds its course along
the banks OF the Potomac River
the dividing line between Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia.
After three years OF railroad serv-
zee, his restless nature rebeuel al
the monotonous grind Of merely MAX
NJ a livelihood from wages. during
TINS period the oil industry OF Fenn-
sylvanla had gotten upon solid bus
mess footing under the guidance OF
such captains Of industry as the
kockfeIers, tlagler, Rogers, Pratt,
ArcuDUlu, .Harkness and other noted
| personalities, VINO comprised the
group Of the Standard On Company.
Alter an uneventGul experience IN
drilling work, he moved to WestmOr
land county, Ia, to drIll some gas
wells, when the excitement at Nc
Donald broke out This was in 1892,
where he remained about a year.
The wells Of that field are now an
| a n-storical event, as Mcdonald added
much to the natural strength of both
the Standard Oil and many Indepen
dent operators, who bullded large
fortunes, as the wells yielded from
200 barrels to 900 barrels, with num-
erous incidents of single wells pro-
ducing as high as 5000 barrels to
$4,000 barrels per day at a depth Of
2400 feet.
As with many eastern oil men,
Mike Healy was attracted to Texas
with the opening Of the Ranger field
several years ago. Here he drilled
five wells but experience told that l.
was short-liyed territory, and he
moved to Breckenridge The company
Of which Mike Healy is the head has
been operating in this famous field
for the past year, and is conducting
a series Of contract drilling opera
ems for indepndent oil corpora

The man who is always finding
fault with his home town paper, is
often much upset if it is 30 minutes
late in getting to him.
Another thing needed in these
times is more girls trying for the
canning competitions and fewer en-
tering for the beauty contests.
The reason why many people do
not make more of a mark in the
world, is that they do not use enough
printers ink.
The college student practices ham
mer throwing but what many people
need to practice now is hammer bury
ing.
The American people are not mere
ly turning their swords into plough
shares, but they are turning their
vegetable gardens into garage sites.
The conservative estimates of in
come made by the income tax pay
ers in filling out their returns, are apt
to become more optimistic when they

If some people would spend a lit
tie less time in cussing the cost of
living, and a little more time read

MINE UPKEEP men
EXPECTED TO QUIT
5000 Left by Union to Pre-
vent Damage May Be
Called Out.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. juno 2.-Expecting a
new strike order calling from the mines
the 5000 maintenance men who have re-
mained on duty since the suspension
April /, anthracite operators of the en-
tire industry held an emergency con-
ference here yesterday to decide upon
means Of protecting their property.
The miners will stand back Of their
demand for 20 per cent wage increase,
union leaders declared, on returning
from their districts. Workmen are un-
altcrably opposed to accepting any part
of the 81 per cent cut, proposed by en-
pioyers. it was said.
Prior to the conference employers
were equally emphatic in asserting they
would not negotiate on any basis but
revision OF wages downward.
The public committee on, the coal
strike, representing the league for in
dustrial democracy and the American
Civil Liberties Union, began its an
nounced investigation of the industry
before dozen men and women spec
tators at the Engineer Societies build
ing.
Franz, Frank Pattison, a civil engineer.
School Of Social Philanthropy. ap-
peared for Norman Hapgood, editor,
who was said to be a moving spirit
in the organization of the committee.
Thomas Kennedy of Hazleton. g. ].
Golden of Shamokin and William ].
Brennan, president Of district No. 4,
the Scranton district, appeared to
state the miners case. The operators.
who also had been invited to attend,
had declined the invitation, it was
said.
Answering questions concerning
cause for the high price Of anthracite
coal, Kennedy charged 1t was due to
'unholy profits" exacted by the pro-
ducers. He cited the Lehigh interests
as the most glaring example. AS
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company they
mine the product and sell 1t, at a
profit, to the Lehigh Valley Sales
Company, he asserted.
The sales company pays the Lehigh
Valley Railway Company a high
freight rate for hauling the product,
and exacts another profit in selling 1t
to the retail distributor, Kennedy de-
clared.
He also said that the operators paid
an average Of $1.04 per ton in royal
ties to persons owning the coal land.
The City Trust Of the City of Phila-
delphia, agents for the Grard estate,
he asserted, controls fifth of the
anthracite mine property in opera
tion and exacts royalties as high as
$2.75 per ton.

SUBMIT RESERVE PLAN.
Roosevelt and Delegation Propose
Citizen Sailors.

Plans for developing a naval civil
ian reserve similar to the National
Guard supplement of the Army were
presented yesterday to the Senate ap-
preparations committee by Assistant
Secretary. Roosevelt and a delegation
of former service men. They pro-
posed creation OF a naval reserve of
5000 officers and 10000 enlisted men
at cost Of about $5,400.000 as COM
pared with $50.000 appropriated in
the House bill.
Two weeks training on eagle boats
and submarine chasers would be
given annually to civilians under the
plans submitted. while those receiv-
ing the training would be given an
nual retainer pay of about $3.50 and
be obligated to respond to duty at
any time.
The plan. Mr.. Roosevelt said, would
build up a corps of potential naval
officers in time of emergency.
