Washington C. III. (Ohio) Journal
VIM Goodhue, in the dry goods bust
ness in this city, has received both 6
letter and papers from lola, Aller
county Kansas, where he came from
to this city less than two years ago
and where he was engaged in the
drug business for number of years
stating that the town had just struck
a great flow of natural gas, the noise
of which can be heard a distance OF
four miles. They have had some five
or six gas wells with flow of gas at
that place for a number of years, but
they did not furnish a sufficient sup
ply for the place, and only limited
number of citizens could be supplied
with it for light and fuel. The well
just struck flows an Inexhaustible
supply, and the people of that town
and vicinity think they have struck a
bonanza.
Manufacturing Center.
Highland Vidette: Kansas i'm nat
ural resources takes no back seat to
any state in the Union. lola, Allen
county, has been for number of years
using natural gas for lights and fuel,
but the yield has not been beyond a
reasonable demand until last week; q
new well was bored which let loose a
volume that terrified the whole COM
munity. The gas is escaping through
four inch tube, and when narrowed
down to a one inch tube the roar can
be heard for five miles. They have
been burning it as it escapes and at
night the light ELIMINATES the whole
country about. They are now indulg-
ing in well grounded hope that lola
will very soon become one Of the great
manufacturing centers of the west. A
measurement of the escaping gas at
this well showed a supply of 2,357, 100
cubic feet Of gas per day.
We Will Change All That.
Horton Headlight: lola has struck
an immense gas well. It's the sew
enth one. But look here, what avail
able use is it going to be to lola as
long as Kansas harbors such an ad-
as we are getting dished
up to US now. No sir, that gas we'll
is not particle Of good to her or any
other town in this fair State until
ideas are wiped off the face
of the earth and good sound admin
istration hanging on to the reins.
The p p Always Excepted.
Marion Record: We learn from
Senator Scott's lola REGISTER that
the gas well at that place emits two
three hundred and fifty-seven
thousand and one hundred cubic feet
of gas, daily, and the roar thereof can
be heard more than five miles away.

They "Sure" Would
Hutchinson InteriOr-H Herald: A
gas we'll at lola, recently opened |
yields over two and a quarter millions
Of cubic feet of gas per day, and the
roar of the escaping gas, through a |
Jour inch nozzle, can be heard four |
miles. The REGISTER thinks if il |
were not for Democratic intimidation |
some manufactures would locate
here.
1t Is Gusher.
Cofeyuille Journal: lola seems to
possess natural gas in unlimited
quantities. The latest well that has
been struck there is "a regular gush-
sr." It produces q daily flow of
1857 900 cubic feet of gas per day.
The light from the burning we'll can
De seen for 30 miles. l
