Now that a charter1 was granted
to the Tine Creek Oil Company
week ago last Wednesday of which
J. B. McIIenry, of Renton, is Presi
dent; J. F. Kingsley, of Cambra,
Vice President; D. C. Brittain, of
Register, Secretary; and Alfred
McIIenry, of Cambra, Treasurer;
they contracted last Friday with an
operator by the name oi Shearer for
boring three wells to a great depth
one near the site of the old "salt
well or later oil well," one above
Jonestown and the third probably
on Green Creek. Work began last
Monday, clearing off the ground
preparatory to the erection of a
derrick. The boring, according to
contract, is to commence within
thirty days, but the contractor in
tends to begin within fifteen days.
A thorough test will now be made
and if great mineral deposits are
here in the heart of the earth, the
earth must now yield her hidden
treasures to this progressive and
determined company. Over ten
thousand acres of land has been
leased by this company and more
will be added.
Mrs. Sally Ashelman, of East
Benton township, was butted by a
buck sheep last Thursday and but
for her daughter Pauline and other
timely aid she would no doubt have
been butted to death.
There is still considerable corn
standing in the shock among the
farmers oi this locality?
Notwithstanding the great a
mount of rain the streams and wells
are exceedingly low in many places.
The people living along the free
mail delivery routes feel highly
gratified with this kind of postal
service.
Cambra and Benton will now be
connected by mail facilities through
the tree delivery system. A closed
pouch will be carried to and from
the above named places. This
will obviate the necessity of the
mails between those places to be
9ent the circuitous routes via
Bloomsburg and Shickshinny and
vice versa.
The Coronation Ceremony.
What Will Happen When Edward VII. I
Crowned King of England.
Now comes the first great cere

various articles of the regalia; the
'teat officers ot State; Garter King
jfArms; the officers of the House
lold; as well as the Queen's officers
md supporters, with her ladies be
lind her chair.
There is a moment of breathless
expectation, for all are aware that it
s the recognition of the monarch by
us people which is now about to be
symbolized. Slowly and majestically
the King stands up in his chair and
.hows himself to his people at every

Meanwhile, Frederick Temple, Lord
Vrchbishop of Canterbury, turns his
;oodly presence to the east siue.

Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or

Benson's. People who have ouce tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no us

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. The an
nual report of the secretary of agricul
ture, Hon. James Wilson, is considera
bly larger than in former years. The
secretary announces an important ex
tension of the forecast field of the
weather bureau, which now Includes
reports from certain points In the Brit
ish isles and on the continent of Eu
rope, from the Azores, Nassau, Bermu
da and Turk's island. The Atlantic
forecasts based upon these reports now
form part of the regular ulght fore
casts Issued In Washington. Three new
forecast districts have been established
In Boston, New Orelans and Den
mark. An extension of the forecast to
farmers through the rural free delivery
is contemplated. Substantial Improve
ments are reported In the department's

products exported during the year ex
ceeded $2oO,0(K),0()0 In value.
The organization of the bureau of
plant industry is reported.
Another of the newly organized bu
reaus is that of forestry. The secretary

with the federal government, with sev
eral states aud many private owners in

area of 52,000,000 acres, of which
4,000,000 are held by private owners.
The work of forest management is re
viewed in some detail.
The secretary expresses the belief
that Irrigation will in the near future
become a subject for legislation by cou
gress, there being Important reasons
why it should have the attention of
that body.

its prototypes in the West in the tales of
