It is due to the discovery of oil in tho Bromen fields, about fifty miles south of Columbus, two years ago, Since then a wave of speculation has been sweoping through Perry, Hocking, Fairfield, Vinton and Athens counties. More than one hundred companies bavo been or gnnized, and oil exchanges have beou opened in Newark, Columbus, New Lexington, Athens, Lancas ter, Junction City, Somerset, Lo gan and other place3. The Stand ard Oil company is pumping into its tanks in Bremen from 1,500 to 2,000 bairels of oil a day from thrse fields, Kvery foot of land iu five cotin tios is owned or leased by corpora tions which are hopeful of finding the miin body of this product. Geologists have stated with great omplnsis tint an immense cavern of oil, which will bo worth many millions of dollars, will sumo day be found. That is why tho well diggers are following tho belt of Berea and Clinton sands, in which the oil is found, from Bremen in a southeasterly direction to Buchtel, which makes part of the southern territory of the Columbus nnd Hooking Coal & Iron company, wl'ere oil has boon found in Heron sand, With tho oxcoption of the hold ings of tho Columbus, Hocking Coal is Iron company, nearly every foot of ground has been prospect ed. Oporations on tho tenitory of that corporation have been con cluded with tho utmost secrecy.

Latest Oxford styles in alt leathers including popular colors Russia CalS and Ox Blood $3.00) and $3.50 For Sale the presence of lumber with which tho derricks are built. The Bro men belt is pretty well defined down through tho valley by the presonce of several hundred der ricks, which stretch toward tho 8onthoast in n soomingly ondloss chain. From the lino of the railroad for 25 miles out of Columbus one can see stack3 of lumber and derricks in the course of construction. Most of the wells are located about two miles northeast of Bremen unci stretch away toward to Clarksville. The tendency of other operators is to follow the sands to the south east. One of tho latest discover ies is at Crossenviile. On Febru ary 26 a well was shot which has beon producing on an average of 70 barrels of oil a day. Within the last week more than 50 derricks were erectod within five square miles of Crossonvlllo. Then came a clay with mere ex citement. In boring for oil in the heart of Mnxville gas was found at a depth of 2,800 feet. This well will produce 4,000,000 cubic feet of gas a day, and tho owners are as jubilant as though they had uncovered a 200-barrel well. At Webb Summit, about two miles from Maxvillo, a company opened a well which produces nioro thun 100 barrels ti day. It is expectjd that one of the greatest strikes in the history of the oil development of the country will bo found at Kuchelmp.oher, in which is located the veins of clay from which millions of building brick uro made every month. A geologist of wide ronown, who has made a study of the Ohio fields, is authority for tho statement that Clinton sand will be found to a dopth of Jl.OOO feet in the vicinity of Kachelmachor, and it would not furpriso him if tho great cavern for which so ninny oil prospectors uro looking will be located here At Buchtel, iu tho northwestern end of Athens county, where oil Iiuh been found in the Korea sand, there is evey promise that im portant deposits will be located. ro -rf Vfc every way satisfactory BALE BY Si 8 WELLMAN mn vqq n J"" muii o i-fluiJiaa by tfr, Si N Dncil Gct'.itn Trnni-foi-i- w tts J Jj JC JC Jj jkj JC .1C JCDB Falls township Logan CharleB I W.

Nothing Is more apparent tlinn that serious nnd earnest dobatn of lliu titiill' bill on tho lhor of the Senate is nholutelv csientliil, if wo aro to have revision that Is anywhere near "hont &t," or that will approach u redemption of the pledges given heforo election by Judge Tuft aril Ills colleagues who toi k tho stump. It HoeniH to be impossible for any of thoso senators who want tho tariff revised downward, in ac cordance with promises, to delve into any of the Hchedtiles proposed by tho Rhode Island dictator with out finding that reptiles of various lengtliH, coloring and degrees of wriggling ability aro colled light ly about them. Tho whole output of the fluunce committee appears to consist of a veritable den of "snakes." Some of the honest rcvisioniitH havo nttemptod to discover Just how dangerous theso serpents are They have employed men skilled in statistics covering customs ini ports, the difference of cost here and abroad and oilier facts on which tariff rates ought to 1)3 fig ured. These men are giving much study to the Aldrich abortion and will be able to furnish the senators with ammunition to be used on the Senate lloor. Some such plan as this would seem to be the only salvation for the men of integrity who sit in the Senate. Particularly is this so because the President, according to report, is in almost daily com munication with Senator Aldrinh. And if the latter has thus far re flected tho President's sentiments, it is obvious that Mr. Tuft is not over-sensitive on tho question of redeeming the tariff pledges given by his parly and himself. New Primary Law. Occasionally and nt rare inter vals a question will bo asked or a remark made relating to the com ing municipal campaign next fall. But by almost ninety-nine out of a poseiblo hundred people in Logan the subject is almost never referred to and presumably is untlioiiglit of. An entire sot of village oflicers is to bo chosen, from mayor down. The election will bo held in No vember, but there is a new primary law now in effect which will stir all candidates for nomination on nil tickets out of the bush dur ing August. This is the way it is. The pri mary at which candidates will be nominaUil, will be held in all pre cincts on Tuesday, September 7th Twenty days before the day all who havo any sort of bee in their bonnet in order to be eligible to go before the primary, will have to have certified their names to the board of elections as a candidate for n certain and specific ofllco and each name so certified will havo to be accompanied by a list of signa- turoBof qualifiod voters of the city, representing not less than two per cent of tho votes cast for the in cumbent in the cilice, thus sought at tho last preceding election. No individual has tho right to sign more than one petition for the same office, and, in signing any petition presented by any candi date, the signer thus pledges him self to support that enndidato in primary although ho does not plodgo himself to support him in tho election. In brief and so far as this now primary law interests tho public in general, these uro tho salient facts concerning it and it only remains to bo added that the coming muni oipnl election will havo been the first choosing ofllciuls who are nominated in this mannor. There can be no dark horses under this new primary law and there will be no immodiato surprise insofar as candidates aro concerned, for, un der tho provisions of tho now law tho gong will ring on candidates in August, whereas tho election will not be hold until November. Near Beer Not Taxable. A decision handed down by the Circuit Court in SesEion ut Cam bridge, Ohio, will bo of great in terests o residents iu dry counties. In substunoo tho Circuit Court ronderod an opinion that "nonr beer" Ib not under tho Aiken luw or subject to the Aikon tax. The Circuit Court reversed the decision of the Common Ploas Court, of C4ueruspy county, in tho caso of Jacob A. Ln-Foliotto, who as County Treas'uror, upon tho advice of County Prosecutor C, S, Shop pard, was seeking to colleot about $800 from John Murray, tho pro. prietor of an establishment jn vrhloh "near beer" was sold. The case wilt bo appealed to the Ohio Supremo Court. Hake Fools of Ourselves. Is this country losing its Demo cratic idcnlB? Wo arc moved to ask this question by the reports from President Tuft to attend church on Sunday without being utmost mobbed by curious ll.rotigs of slghscers on tho streets of the national capital. On Enster morn ing a great concourse of people who gathered outside of St, JohnV church, where Mr. Tuft attended service with his wife, practically compelled Mr. Taft to Ptop and hold an open nlr reception bcfoie he could return to the White House. Wo linvo always been ready to ridiculo the English win make fools of themselves over tlioii royal family, standing on the streets for hours to sec its mem bers pass by and cheering thoin- , selves hoarse on such occasions-, but if we are not careful wo will givo the British press tin oppor tunity to induliO in no end rf sar casm at our expense Moreover, such conduct id un-American and mi Democratic and there seems to be little excuse for intruding to such an extent on the privacj j which even the president ought t.. bo permitted to enjoy on one d-ij the week Ex. Worried About Ohio. Senator Dick has denied the statement that he is opposed to the appointment of Willis G. Bow land, of Columbus, as internal revenue collector to succeed David J H. Moore, of Athens. Ho is foi Mr. Bowlund, but like Senatoi Burton is not disposed to press the uritter too much bec.uae of tbt habit the president hns of receiving senatorial recommendations anil then selecting Mime man of his own choice which, while perhaps pleas ing to the president, is decidedly embarrassing to the senators. The Fenators have practically yielded to make no recommenda tions until they fust have the positive assurance of tho chief ex ecutive that the man on whom they agree will receive the place for which they ask. They feel it will weaken their power at home if they put their O. K on men on ly to find that the president com pletely ignores them. The president himself is also much worried about the Ohio situ ation and is endeavoring to devise some plan by which he can restore harmony in the party in Ohio. Akron Working Men Protest. Up at Akron the Central Labor Union, after discussing the Payne tariir bill, voted to send protest? to the Ohio senators and congress men against further incroase of tariff rates on the necessaries of life for the working class. Let's see. Akron in tho place where Mr. Tuft mndo a speech last fall in which ho said great deal about the speech lie mado in Akron three years before. We hope none of the working- men of Akron who voted for Mr. Taft will think of joining in Mich protests. It is inconsiderate to protest against getting what one votes for. Besides, after com paring the two speeches, any Akron voter ought to have foio seen that it would be as easy for Mr. Taft to make "common enter prise" with Mi ill" b.in ns who de mand revision upward us ic was for him to make "comiuon enter prise" with Cox Wing Tliem OiT. iMurrit) I'Uy Nihh It is the design of moBt of the voters of Ward townslr'p, to din card and i';noro the present county organisation nnd iiuuet on new leaders who aro non-factional to lead tho purty and oradio.ito tho evils that havo grown out of Bus sism, The voters of Ward town ship havo long been ignorud iin-l used as cat paws for tho county i seat politicians and now thoy nie determined to unload tho riugciih-j or by forcing them to quit their j places or defeat their t'ekots unV til tho voters of the county grow weary of defeat and snatch tho Leiches from thoir backs and llmg them oil' ns they would a veiiuniuiu repttlo.
