machinery now there has been be-
gun. Either Robert or William Lam
yon will be here most of the time
from now on to direct and superin-
tend the work.
The main building will be changed
but little. The expectation is to use
the north room of it for the ore crush
ers. Next to them will come the pot
terry department and next to this the
cslcining department, while the south
end will be fitted up for offices. The
west wing will be rooted aud used for
furnaces, the work on which will be-
gin about the first of July. The over
seers OF this work will of course be
men of experience who have hereto
fore been in the LsnyOn employ. Rut
30 far as possible work will be given
to men who live here. And with the
great amount of work there Is to be
done, in digging ditch more than a
mile long, and in fixing up the shops
and grounds, it is certain that no able
bodied man in lola who wants work
will have to lie idle for the next three
months.
The matter of running zinc smell
ter with natural gas is an expert
ment, of course, to a certain extent,
and until it's success is determined
the machinery put in will not exceed
daily capacity of 80 tons of ore, or
about Is tons of finished product. AS
soon as it is demonstrated, however,
that the gas can be successfully used,
and the fact that the canyons are
spending great many thousand dol
lars here shows the strength of their
faith in it,-it is the expectation of
the firm to increase the capacity OF
the smelter until it shall be equal to
or larger than any in this country.
The firm name, Robert LANNON'S
Sons, is known ali over the CONNER
cial world, and is in itself guaranty
that any contract they make will be
kept to the letter. They established
the first smelters that were put in at
Pittsburg Kansas in 1879, and con-
Quoted the business with the greatest
success until last year when they
sold out in order to remove to some
natural gas field. They visited all
the Kansas fields and also went east
and looked over the fields in Ohio and
Indiana. But they came back to lola
convinced that the supply of gas at
this place was larger and gave great
or promise of long life than at any
place they had visited, and made the
proposition which our people prompt
ly accepted.

1t would be hard to overestimate
the advantage which is certain to &C.
crue to lola as q result OF the location
here of this great enterprise 1t
means the employment of all our To-
cal laboring men. AS soon as the
work OF smelling begins,-which will
be about the first of October,-it
means the regular employment of not
less than fifty men whose wages will
average $500 q day, nearly all of
which will be spent right here. And
these wages will be paid in money
and not in provisions or clothing, as
the canyons have expressly agreed
that they will not start store or al
low one to be run in connection with
their smelter. The monthly distribu-
ton of $500 to $4,000 will make a very
perceptible difference in the business
of lola.
In addition to the direct advantage
to be gained, the mere fact that con-
sentative men like the canyons have
risked large investment OH the size
and permanency of the lola gas field,
will be sufficient evidence to manu-
fscturers everywhere that they would
run no risk in ceming here, and so
other enterprises are bound to follow.
There is not on record single case in
which q good gas field failed to make
a good town; and lola is not to be an

The Commodore,s nyinr Johc

aIter midnight recently of the condition

grew restless.

feet from the front of the house in which
the old gentleman lay, and sometimes
YOU could hear what was said in the sick
room.
Among us was a certain gentleman
who Is now the respected father of

late at night. He had q voice on him

"'Oh. why don't he dep he suddenly

We thought no more of this remark
until few moments later, when a trim
servant girl came out of the house. She
looked us over and watched us for a few
moments. Then Doc said something and
she came over to him and handed him
note. He opened 1t. wondering what II
could be. On the paper was a score or so
of words written in the old Commodores

Public spirit In the west.

Probably nothing yer did more to
bring the East and the West together
in national sentiment than the Column
blan Exposition at Chicago. The whole
country was justly proud Of that, and
TO section was more ungrudging in its
praise of 1t than the East. 1t was CON
coded frankly and heartily hat Chi
cago had done what would not have
been possible in New York or any other
Eastern city, making not merely a
worlds fair, but a worlds wonder.
Western energy and dauntless daring
we're combined with a loftiness and
breadth of artistic purpose to produce
results which would have been impos-
sible in an older civilization. As an
experienced English observer said, mot
only was it the most wonderfully beau
tifnl thing of the kind the world had
ever seen, but it was likely to be the
most wonderfully beautiful that ever
would be seen; for no other nation
would ever have the audacious courage
20 do again what Chicago did," Yet
this fair was merely the sublime out
come of one of the chief elements, if not
the chief element, of Western progress
the public spirit Of the people. They
believe in their country, are proud Of
its wonderful growth and unbounded
and are determined to do
everything in their power to add to It's
fame. This spirit Is particularly strong
in Western cities, and appeals to it are
never made in vain. 1t makes possible
the establishment on a firm and endur-
ing basis Of educational and artistic
enterprises which find little cordial sup
port in Eastern cities, and which lead
there only 4 struggling and precarious
existence. They are supported in West
ern cities because they will be a credit
to the communities and will add to
their fame. 1t would be an unspeak-
able boon to Eastern cities If this pub
lie spirit could be aroused in them.-
