Cleveland Leader and Herald One great advantage enjoyed by the cities and of Ohio's gas and oil fields is their location in the midst of a fertile well-developed agricultural tion Many of the richest oil fields in Pennsylvania has been opened in the wilderness where food was necessarily imported from a distance and living was very expensive while buildings had t be erected with the knowledge that would possess little or BO value ter the deposits were exhausted The result was a great waste of capital and labor and serious hinderance to the ad- use of the wealth produced Everything is very different in Allen Hancock and Wood counties There it is not necessary build narrow-guage railroads tied in bowknots among the hill ravines and stumps in order to ry food to drillers and the country will not be dotted with the ruins of wagons and engines wrecked in impassable trails doing sorry duty as roads The towns which are booming under the inflation of natural gas will doubtless easily hold all the ground they gain for they are well located and substantial places able to compete with all comers without the advantage of the gas and oil which have made them famous The development of trade and industry in and about them will be permanent and Northwestern Ohio can never lose the good effects of its present period of prosperity The quadriennial phamtom promise of the Republicans being able to carry one or two Southern States in 1888 is again dazzling our in the noonday sun The delusion must be dispelled or our will get behind a cloud again Is there anything the South has asked for

has just become for eleven years the remains of Abraham Lincoln have not been within the marble agus popularly supposed to contain them but in a grave under an part of the Lincoln monument at Springfield On the twenty-second an of his death they were ed placed in a new grave as was also the body of Mrs Lincoln and cemented in securely The work of guarding the honored relics of martyr President has been in the hands of a secret called the Lincoln Guard of whose task ii at completed According to G the Republicans will nominate John man but he cannot be elected and the Democrats will

That country is the best governed that is the least Prof Orton iu his new book on the Ohio oil and gas field says as to the Lima oil Its possibilities are very great in production The whole history of the oil field has been one of repression and discouragement thus far The opening price of 40 cents per barrel for the oil was counted on all sides as a temporary price only and it was confidently ex- that as soon as tankage and transportation were found an advance would be made The price first offered has proved temporary it is true but in- stead of moving upward as producers had counted upon Ha doing it has re- ceded first to and finally to thirty cents per barrel The latter mark was reached on the first day of February 1887 It is obvious that wells must be very good ones lo endure last named figures All moderate pumping wells will be excluded from the list of possible production under these conditions As lo Qualities of the Lima oil it is to be lhat final statements cannot be The judgment ex pressed in preliminary report in re- gard to its character is too favorable When the oil has been apparently thoroughly deodorized it hni often been found that the would return It is certainly however within the power of science to effect a complete and permanent expulsion The main question is at what expense can this be The question cannol now be answered He finds no positive answer to any of the great questions on quality or value except that Lima oil constitutes a fuel of value Van Wert Foundry and Machine Works R MILLER Proprietors of and Dealers in Boilers Engines Saw
