The head driller of the Maud well,
which is about 35 miles cast of this
test hole, judged that the chances are
just as good here as they are where
he is working. An oil and gasser in
which a string of tools lost and cas-
ing collapsed has made th" ri.< move '

better by him than the Cleveland

good time again. The bit of lug left I may figure what it costs to grow

, Burns, manager of the Barker

opinion on the building material mar-
ket Saturday.
Lumber
1'astern mill conditions are .such that
one cannot expect lower lumber
prices.
Lumber Is Cheap
Advices of lumber men follow
something like this:
If you think lumber prices are high
just set out a crop of trees and wait
fo rtlie harvest. Lumber is one of the
few crops that is being sold at far
less than the cost of replacement. You

who is visiting her parents there.

your pencil and figure what it costs
to grow and produce a thousand feet
of lumber. Prices high? Lumber is j
the cheapest thing in the world to- j
day."
Forest after forest has been destroy- i
ed to supply the world with lumber,
and as the source of supply dwindles j
it is only practical that one may expect j
the price to rise.

A little seven-year-old child
was in tears yesterday morning.
Her little pet Collie was the
cause.
The parents of the little girl have i
put in a sand-pile with which she
can idle away the long hours dur-
ing the day. It is in the shade
where the sun never bothers.
Friday night she had fixed up
a little sand house, by heaping
damp sand over her foot and
then drawing it out easily, leaving
the sand pile stand.
Saturday morning her Collie
dog had rooted down the house
with his nose and was in difficul-
ty when the rfand went into his
nostrils and eyes.
The girl was not discouraged,
however, and got down on her
hands and knees, to blow the sand
out of her dog's face.
