Activity in Carter
County Continues to
Maintain Its Record

Practically every portion of Carter
county is being secured in search Of
prospective oil acreage by interested
parties. particularly outside oil men
have been attracted to the local areas
since the beginning Of the year. Blocks
are being gathered in all directions
for drilling purposes and the rapid
rate at which announcements for new
locations i'm Carter and Love counties
have been made is assured will con
tinue for some time to come until
tests will be drilling at close intervals
in all portions which have the least
indication Of being likely looking ter
ritory.
A very encouraging factor in con-
nection with announcements already
made and which have been transform
ed into actual drilling wells is the
proximity of several Of them to aban-
doned holes which are regarded as not
having been drilled deep enough Car.
ter county has fewer dry holes than
any other county in the state and II
is safe to say fewer than any other
territory of similar proportion any
where relative to development going
on and which has already been per
formed.
The subject of deep holes" re-
ferred TO several times in this column,
and by which is meant holes TO u
depth of 5000 feet or more. is very
likely TO be the new phase of de-
velopment to occur following the com
pletion of search for acreage. The
number Of wells put down to 5000
feet or more in this section are few.
Also. the amount of acreage which
dry hole condemns in Carter county
has been reduced to a great extent
and is practically now confined TO the
immediate location of the "duster.

APPROPRIATION
 GREAT AID TO CANADIANS

OTTAWA, July 19. - The Empire Settlement bill recently passed by the British House of Commons makes available 15,O0O,OOO pounds sterling annually for fifteen years for the pur' pose of financing British colonists who desire to settle in overseas do- minions of the Empire. The bill, it is believed, will prove great impetus to immigration to Canada from the Brit ish Isles.
 The bill provides that one-half or the sum made available shall be de- voted to paying the passage of set tiers to the dominions they select as their future home and the other haif is to be used to make loans to them after they have gone upon the land' The maximum loan to each settler IS reckoned at $1,500 by the government

A CONTINUING GRANT

Democratic opponents of the ship subsidy bill point out as one of their major objections to that measure the clause which stipulates ceipts, all of the port charges and postal re ceipts-''are hereby permanently approprlat ed. ''This means" declares Representative Davis, Democrat of Tennessee, who IS leading the opposition, ''that the subsidy will be z continuing grant of Government funds," or as they express it, Ca subsidy in perpetulty.'
 A subsidy in perpetuity is a large order, but that a continuing grant, if proposed IS prob able and reasonable It would be fine kettle of fish if Congress had to fight over once g wear the question of devoting 10 per cent oi the customs duties, etc., to the ship subsidy fund. The Republicans have had experience with the Democrats in that particular, notably the tariff board provided for in the Payne Aldrich law. About $250,000 was set aside for that organization yearly, and the second year of its existence witnessed the Fitzgerald fill buster in the House against the appropr1a tion. brought on in the closing days of the short session of Congress. The result was that the board went out of existence after being villified and condemned by every Democrat nl Conpress. Two years after those same Demo crats heard the crack of the Wilson whip and voted into existence the tariff commission which was quickly organized by the presl- dent on the basis of three Wilson Democrats and two Wilsonians.
 The permanent appropriation of customs duties to the ship subsidy fund is safe and sane idea. Instead of the total receipts from Tariff, etc., being covered into the Treasury and then an annual squabble to break off 1O per cent of the receipts to aid the ship busi- ness, the bill proposes that this 10 per cent shall automatically revert to the ship fund Moreover, the protective tariff bill and the ship subsidy bill are intimately associated with each other One is for the purpose o1 protecting manufacturing and farming indus tries the other is to protect the shlpplng Ill dustrv. It is desired to round out the system and remedy he condition described by James q, Blaine in 1890, when he said: "Shippmg IS inc one industry which the United States has refused to protect, whereby he expressed in phrase the anomaly of British protection tt shiDs. although then free trade nation, anc of American indifference to the shipping m dustrv. although protective nation
 The country has had trouble enough since 1909 because of it's fluctuating tariff policy which has demoralized business to the pon' of driving many factories out of the country The necessity of settling down to something re sambling a permanent tariff policy IS so wei recoonized that the South itself has grown tf annreciate it and is coming into the protec tive fold. Few capitalists could be found tf take up shipping enterprises if they knew thai the subsidy fund would have to be fought oV CT every year. The fact that this question forms the prize objection of the Democrats to the ship subsidy bill indicates the weakness o1 their stand.

effective reply to the telegram

The Council of the League which

of this month, adjourned without
taking action on the Mandate,
but will convene again on April
18th. At that time Mr.. Balfour
may probably be present as a

in this vicinity are TO aid their alma
mater in securing its endowment of
100000 for salaries and $500 900 for
buildings. No formal drive will be
made locally but each slumna will
endeaHor to secure an individual quota
of 1888 through personal and private
solicitation here and elsewhere
The three weeks campaign which be
gan officially Tuesday was marked by
q luncheon held at the home of Miss
Susan Gardner on Prospect street,

an assistant professorship at Wells
prior to coming to Connecticut college
Throughout the country where there
are Wells graduates similar campaigns
and luncheons were held Tuesday, in
Guiding New Haven, New York, Chi

| The Wells undergraduates held an
endowment dinner a few days ago at
| which each member pledged herself TO
raise the quota of 1888. The first
! speaker then was Mrs. Thomas ].

fact that in the handling of big col
leges a personal contact is last and a
desire is now being shown to bring the

that about 200 is the real working
body and the ideal one and they Intend
to keep it at that number.
