economically satisfy their wants.

Our Jim says that the young men of
this section generally do not seem to
appreciate to any very great extent
Chrietain Associations. These institu
tions are especially inlended for their
good; at least, that is the design for
which they are established. The reading
rooms which these places have are fur
nished with suitable publications from
which young men might improve their
minds if they had a mind to; but they
appear to prefer other places of resort,
from which nothing elevating can possi
bly be derived. It is true that there are
many other places of a moral tendency
which young men might attend, but the
characters here alluded to keep aloof
from them, which should not be the
case Opportunities to improve and
edify the mind when neglected are sure
to prove baneful in the long run.
Young men who prefer pernicious ways
to moral rectitude are not the charac
ters likely to lie found in Christian
Association rooms. Their ideas run
counter to such places, morally and in
tellectually.

RKIHOLD—Last Thursday night about
11:80 W. L Curtis' well No 3 on the
John Felil farm, which was ln-ing drili
ed to lower sands, unexpectedly made a
| flow of oil and caught fire, which con
sumed the rig. and the ttxils. which
were within 50 feet of the fop, went to
the bottom. A new rig will be im
mediately built. The well has been
flowing aliont every two honrs since
struck and is estimated te be good for
125 to 150 bbls. per day. It is located
three-fourths of a mile northwest of the
Reibold railroad station, and as no
wells of this size has been found in that
vicinity it looks very much as though
some new terrritory was in sight. Mr.
Cnrtis was at the well when it took fire
and he and the drilling crew had a very
close call, but luckily escaped all right.

Water.
The people of Butler generally recog
nize that our towu needs more manu
, facturing establishments They are
needed to preserve and continue its sol
id steady prosperity.
1 (>il caused a tremendous boom, has
been a wonderful ltoon, and for fifteen
• years past l*>en the real driving force of
j the town. But now West Virginia
j claims the attention of most of the oil
' men. and as to our local fields we can't
' look half a mile down into the bowels of
; the earth and see how long they will
j continue their production and assure
j Butler's maintenance,
j Our town ha.-- unusually convenient
railroad facilities, lately incren-kd by
j th. new I'.. &L M line and soon to
Ibe incre: -til again by ih* "r.:?aio.
j Rochester iV Pittsburg road, which will
[ connect the eastern Vonderbilt system
I with tlie Brice system of Ohio. The lo
cal Kc.s well.- furni«h abnndawe of the
l best fuel on earth. There is plenty of
I available ground for manufacturing
i sites. There is a great open market for
| almost everything close at hand But
j the one drawback which outweighs all
the good points is we have scarcely
enough water to supply our own pres
ent needs, and here is the weak rung in
the ladder of Butler's prosperity. As
someone lately remarked, "You can't
show manufacturers a dry creek and
j then expect them to locate here.'' And
so it is obvious to all that Butler's
greatest need is an increased and suffi
cient water supply.
This problem outweighs the sc-hool
building, fire-alarm and other present
questions as lead outweighs chaff. We
can't get along without more water,
more water! And it would be accepta
ble to have an improved quality as well
as an increased quantity. Now, how
can Butler get more and better water,
sufficient not only for ourselves, but to
warrant a supply for any factory that
chooses to locate here?
It is a well known fact that a vein of
soft water lays one hundred feet, more
or less, under the town Many local
households and establishments draw
their supply from this Why not find
oat if enough for general use could be
obtained from this vein?
The South Side has a splendid water
supply, obtained from wells drilled on
the range of hills south of town. There
are also many large springs of excellent
water on these hills. We might men
tion the Boyd. Muntz and McClymonds
springs. These facts lead us to believe
'hat wells drilled on the l»it? south hills
would send up enough water to settle
the question locally forever. Besides,
the hills are so high that a reservoir on
top of them would force the water to
every part of town and to the tops of
the highest buildings. If there was an
other reservoir as large as the present
one. always full of water and ready to
be drawn on for every need we believe
there would be a veritable stampede of
manufacturers to locate in Butler, for
our town would then be an industrial
ideal. We don't think our local Board
of Trade would have to give any facto
ry seeking a biding place more than one
invitation, if in addition to Butler's
other inducements, tho Board could of
fer them plenty of water. Could the
Board of Trade fulfill its mission in any
lietter way than by seeking and finding
more water?
These few opinions and suggestions
are humbly given in hope that in some
way they may have some little to do
with procuring an ample water supply.
We will be devoutly thankful if such i.->
the case.
Happy the day when, instead of the
mud-flavored, yellow beverage we are
now forced to use, we can go to the
spicket and draw forth a glass of clear,
pare and palatable water E.
