Oklahoma TGn1es-JOurndL Thirty
minutes before the convention was
called to order, a committee was still
looking for Hon. A. G. Scott to ask
him to make the address of welcome.
How much less time than thirty min
utes he had in which to make prepa-
ration we do not know, but the time
was cut short little. NOtwithstand-
ing the complete lack of preparation,
he stepped forward at the invitation
of Chairman Grimes and delivered a
welcome address that for scholarly
finish, fervid eloquence and thought
full suggestions has not been surpass-
ed in Oklahoma.
In conversation with Mr.. l.. G.
Beatty this week, he told US that
the lola gas and oil field has good
reputation in the east, where he has
spent the past six weeks. 1t is well
advertised, and oil men look for big
results from Kansas eventually. His
own company, the Palmer Oil Com
pany, sent him back here with in
structions to continue the work of
prospecting, and he expects to begin
work on one or more wells very soon.
The first one will probably be a mile
or two up Elm creek from the Whit
aker we'll. Mr.. and Mrs. Beatty wis.,
tied Niagara and other points of in
terest in the course of their trip and
spent very pleasant vacation.
THE 18th of April has been desig-
mated as Arbor Day by Gov. Morrill,,
and old and young are eDjoined to
plant trees, shrubbery and flowers,
and school boards urged to encourage
the boys and girls in adjoining the
school grounds. This last suggestion
is one that ought to be needed. All
over this part of Kansas the people
have been so industrious in setting
out shade trees about their homes
that they no longer need the admOni-
ton of ArbOr Day. But there are
great many school grounds that are
still treeIess and bleak and desolate,
and the 18th of April would be good
day for picnic and tree planting for
their relief
w. NJ. Knapp was quite badly hurt
Yesterday afternoon while attempt
ing to move Grated buggy. He was
alone and no one knows exactly how
the accident happened, but in some
way the heavy crate fell on him,
knocking him to the floor with great
violence. By the merest accident
Adlai Ewing happened to go into the
room few minutes afterwards and
found Mr.. Knapp unconscious, lying
under the crate. Help was secured
and the injured man was carried into
H. A. Ewing's law office and DR..
Chastain summoned. Restoratives
were promptly administered, but it
was fully half an hour before con-
seriousness was restored. So far as has
developed at this writing a scalp
wound is the only painful injury,
and it is not thought that any SER
ious results will follow. Neverthe-
less it is not an experien ce that MIR.
Knapp would care to repeat.

FORREST OIL CoMPANY DoINGs.

From Humboldt Union.
The Forest Oil Co. has eighteen
strings of tools at work in the Kansas
oil field.
Three new cables, for the Forest
Oil Company, were received here last
week. Each coil of rope is 1000 feet
long and weighs nearly 5000 pounds.
John Anderson this week has
moved the engine and drilling outfit
from the Ross well, near Bayard. 1t
goes to a new location two miles south
and two miles west of Chanute.
The Independence Tribune says
that the Forest Oil Co has placed an
order with the Independence planning
mill for the wheels and framework
for thirty drilling outfits.
John Anderson, Frank Fussman
and others have gone to Bronson and
Uniontown to haul casing and drill
ing machinery from these places to
Neosho and Wilson counties.
The wells on the lands of Messrs.
Finley and Mckinley were commend
ed after midnight Monday morning.
Wednesday they were down 300 feet
at the Finley well. At McKinley's
slower progress is reported.
Capt. 8. J. Stewart on Tuesday re-
ceived over 81 900 in checks to be paid
to land owners who have leased lands
to the Forest Oil Company, this
money going to parties owning farms
in the vicinity of the Roehl well.
This amount of cash is quite a neat
sum to be distributed in one neighbor-
hood. To speak after the manner of
some men sit is like finding money
in the road" 1t also proves conclu-
sively that the Forest Oil Company is
carrying out the policy with the land
