New Well Was Brought in Yesterday* After-

Oil is Flowing Freely Today.
i-
W F. Guthrie, who is interested In
the development of the Trickham oil
field, Informs thd Bulletin thet a sec-
ond Bowing well was brought in there
on yesterday. The well is located on
Mr. Guthrie’s land near the first well,
which was brought In lagt summer.
The new well is some stronger in flow
and It is believed will develop into
a paying well. But little excitement
was occasioned by the bringing in of
the second well. People living1 in the
community had seen the first well
and when It was announced that the
conditions of the two wells were very
much
work
new well.
The bringing in of the second, well
in this field comes pretty near devel-
oping It as a paying oil field, and it
Is understood that extensive prepara-
more new wells. The oil wall Is on a
comparatively (level spot some two
hundred yards from a small branch
and this morning the oil from the well
had spread out over the ground and
found its way to the branch. Tha flow
is of the purest of high grade lubri-
cating oil, the same aa tha flrat wall,
and Is valued at from 40 to 75 cents
per gallon.
When Fred Turtaer, president of tha
Trickham development company, was
here some weeks ago he said the com-
pany was going ahead with their
drilling without much talk and that
he was confident they would strike
the same they resumed their loll at the depth of 900 to 1000 feet
without even going to see the In this prediction he waa correct for
oil was found at that depth. Mr. Tur-
ner at that time said the company
would continue with their drilling twi
put down a large number of wells be-
fore any attempt was made to market

THE AGE OF OPPORTUNITY
While the land Is being treated to
a chorus nf Jeremiads of discontent
from those who see nothing but de-
terioration and desolation
lh« race If each man should be al-
lowed to carve out hit own fortune
for himself, and who would substitute
for personal Initiative and frugal self
denial the doctrines of collectivism
aud state supervision, It is refresh-
ing to read In the New York World
Ihe opening chapters of the Ilfs pt a*
young man named Samuel Want
They make good reading and good
advice to every boy who has the Am-
erican spirit in him and who has not|
yet tmbrlbed the notion that he be-
longs to the submerged tenth And
must forever remain there by reason
of class consciousness.
The young man. Want, la 22 years
of age. When 12 years old he came
to the United f^ates from Newcastle.
England, without money and without
friends Had he been taught then
that be was a proletaire and should
be proud of the fact,, he' would prob-
ably not be clerking In a country
store with no mental uplift beyond
getting his $12.50 a week for sorting
eggs and dealing out molasses, be-
cause he has a friend who lived at
Darlington, 8 C„ and thither he went
on a freight train, securing work in
a store. He studied hard at night
and rendered faithful service by day.
No eight hours with hit eye on-the
clock for him. He wanted to become
a lawyer and when he was II he en-
tered the law course of the Universi-
ty of Maryland. Finishing second In
his class after reaching graduation
in twelve months—the usual course
requiring three years—he has since
been elected a member of the faculty.
He la assistant editor of the Amer-
ican and English Encyclopedia. Law-

That Is going some for a boy with-
out money aud fsw friends
But it may be objected that young
Want had exceptional brain power,
being able to accomplish mors by
mental effort than the average hoy,
and as the world M made up of Av-
erage boys, his case should not <m
held up as a criterion for Sll boys.
Vary wall! We will relate the
story of an average boy here In Ft.
