Data given out by the local employ ee la to the effect that five employe work now wall If there was no open ing pfth general dallrary Vlndow and no distribution of the paper one man could do the work.

Tner weri 116 that called from town and country Sunday. Th plan la to put the mall In th boxaa Sunday as usual, ao that a man who feels he must hav hla mall can get It by renting a box.

OITICERS MEET DECIDE TO GO DOWN TO DEPTH OF 2500 FEET IF NECESSARY FOR PAYING WELL. acToxs jo ofFictts urn Indications aa Rsported By Drillers Look Good to Stockholder 'asay Reduce Six of Caaing Later. The Home OH and Gaa Co., w hich la drilling In a well at Stone, held Its annual stockholders meeting In this city Wednesdsy sfternoon. In the sam ple room at the Electric hotel. Report was msde of the condition of the well now being drilled In snd the general condition of the bustneas of the com pany. The following officers were chosen: , , Ireslilent. U D. Mum power; vice president, Henry 8tade; secretary. C. I). Latotirette; treasurer, First Na tional Ilnnk. Directors were chosen aa followa: L. D. Mumpower, Henry Stade, (leo. Vlerhus, I-nula Vlerbus, J. (1. Mumpower, J. W. Watts and J. J. Tobln. A rcHOlutlon was passed Instructing the officers to go ahead and drill until oil In paying quantities Is found or tbe well reaches a depth of 2500 feet. Tha present expert drillers were present , at the meeting and gave a flattering report aa to prospecta. They think' the oil la here and that they are almost certain to find It. They report ed that there waa a continued flow of gna for the past 100 feet In depth, with some little tracings of oil. Indi es! lona, they aay, could not be better. These men have had experience In the East and In th California oil fields A geologist from the East, who when In college aome 15 years ago waa considered considerable of an expert, has made a casusl analysis of the atone taken out of th well at a depth of 1250 feet. II aays that it Is a lime rock formation with crystallxed flint running through Its texture. Thla Is the UHuat cap formation that Immedi ately precedes the finding of oil and la the usual covering of an oil pool or oil bolt. The formation Indicates that there waa oil used In Ha structure by nature and If the deduction Is true then there must have been oil there ONE TO FIVE ACRE TRACTS Close To City Cash and Install ments T. L. Charman CITY DRUQ STORC COSTUME. In sufficient quantity to have made the formation possible, to say the lat. Ho la of opinion that this stone must com from a covering to an oil pool, but aa to whether or not It will be found In paying-quantity remains to t seen. ' The drill still continues to stir tip gas and oil and the bucket brings up oil all the time and th stirring up of the wster permits the gas to rise In quantities sufficient to light. The drillers will continue to go down with the present site hole as long a th present stone formation doea not permit the well to cava In. If th well begins to cave In It will be necessary to reduce the aiz of th casing to protect th well, or if gaa or oil are found in sufficient quanti ties so that it is wise to shut out the wster then tb casing will need to be reduced in alt-. .- The onglnalfVnter made a mistake In starting the well so small, and that error In a measure handlcapa tbe pres ent drillers, but things muat be taken as they are, and not aa they ahould be, and the directors feel warranted in go ing on even In the face of the fact that better conditions might have at tained had the first drillers been wise to conditions in this western field. It Is certain, say the directors, that signs the past 300 feet have been very encouraging, and the meeting of stock holders Wednesday was one of con siderable enthusiasm.
