of the managers were in session |
over the matter, when young Tom
Edison came in. At once the
President of the company told
him of the break and asked him if
he could locate it.
"Sure." was the reply. I'll lo-
cate it for you if you will take up
my patents, and simply give them
a fair hearing and considera-
tion."
"All right." exclaimed the
President. "We'll take 'em up
without delay and give them fav-
| orable consideration if you can
I locate this break. And we'll give
you six hours to do it in."
Young Edison went out quietly,
and within an hour returned to
the same room.
"Gave it up, hey? asked the
; President.
"Not much.'' was the reply;
j the break is a few miles this side
of Poughkeepsie."

When the break was found, as
stated by the young inventor,
they were wild to know his secret
of locating a break, but he would
not tell them. The company took
up his patents, as agreed, and a
number of years elapsed before
Edison told the President how he
had located the break. He had
telegraphed a friend at Pittsburg
to ask Buffalo how far Buffalo
could telegraph toward New York
and the reply was: "As far as
Poughkeepsie."
And thus Edison knew where to
look for the break: between
Poughkeepsie and New York.

and will drill to the deep sand.
Report from the Jennings Bros,
well on the school land 36-21-8
shows that the well is dry at a
depth of 2515 feet.
Mrs.  T. E. Beekman arrived in
the city today to join her bus-

that no home people had as yet
gotten production in the field
The fact is there are two other
home companies in the field that
have production. The one in
which B. W. Kiser is interested on
the Arnold. 3-20-8 and that of the
Selby in which Ola Rogers and
the Brady boys are associated, on
the Dona 1020 8. and both tbt
