Obituary.

Mrs Alice Ketchum was born near
Bloomington, Ind, March ID, 184S and
di, in Chanute, Kansas February End
1897.
She had been sufferer from heart
and lung trouble for the past four
months. She has lived in Chanute for
the past five years during which time
she has made many friends who will
sincerely feel her loss. During her
sickness, she has suffered a great deal,
but has never complained through it
all. She leaves husband, mother and
three brothers, beside other relatives,
to mourn her loss. Little Caddie
Johnson. her orphan niece, has been
the pet of the household for about
two years. She will feel sadly the
loss of her auntie.
Mrs Ketchum was always so kind
to the orphans and to all who needed
her help. She became a member of
the Methodist church when only
twelve years Of age.
The remains will be taken to Prince
ton, Kansas Thursday for burial.

citizens of Burbon, Anderson, Allen,

the Forest Oil company, at least two
thirds of the 10000 acres of leases
obtained by the Forest Oil company
from Guffey & Galley have been sur
rendered. In fact the policy of
the company now seems to be to
surrender all leases not fully devel-

The matter got into the courts on this

Weary Of the delay the mayor has made
a new departure and now says "the ques-

comparison with the greater question
whether an alien group of capitalists shall
hold Atlanta by the throat and stop all

GEOLOGICAL BOARD APT TO GO.
ITS MEMBERS IN FAVOR OF IT'S
ABOLITION.

Some Members in Favor of Abolish
ing the whole Geological Bureau
But the Board Not IA Unit on This
Point-A Suggestion That the Cecil
ogist BE Put Under DOnd-StIte
Treasurer Spcer FAvOrs n COntin-
uance of the Survey.
Atlanta, Ca, July at is evident that
the state geological advisory board is
weary. They are drowsily tired of their
charge. The old saying that few die
and none resign does not apply TO them.
They want to abolish themselves. Some
members want also TO abolish the entire
geological business, but the board is not
unanimous on that point. The compro-
mise suggested by Gov. Atkinson and be-
fore referred to- seems to meet with gem
eral favor. He is known to be an aboli-
Zionist, but his idea is to make the survey
useful If the work is to continue. Some
argue that a quietus should be put upon
the advisory board and the geologist plac-
ed under bond and given full powers. This,
1t seems, would be satisfactory to the 9TH
ers.
First of all, the suicidal instinct rules
the board from governor down. State
Treasurer Speer denied this afternoon that
he was in favor of disseminating the sur
wey. Fl" thought the time had just come
where it was calculated to be of most use
He referred to the vast interests at stake
in the mineral belts of the state. and said
they could only hope for development
through state and scientific help.
Il speak only for myself" said he, but
the need is pressing and at this time es-
pecially the work should not
be stopped. But the existence of a
geological board, though 1 am one of ITS
members, seems preposterous. The board
is made up of state officials In the first
place they have such urgent duties TO per-
form in looking after the business of their
own departments that they have not the
time to bestow upon the supervision of
the survey. Secondly, the board is only
hamper upon the free action of the geolog-
list. Why, in Geologist Spencer's time the
board was even charged by law with the
appointment Of his assistants. OF course
he did not have anything like a fair show
ing The present geologist has been given
more liberty, but he should be entirely in
dependent, or at least responsible only as
Nue OlilGI SNdte mousse oilctlS are uliGCtly
10 the governor or legislature.
I'm the third place, even If the mem
bers of the board had time, they could do
but little useful work in the way Of super
vision, for they are not scientists and are
therefore not properly equipped to judge
of the undertaking in hand. They are
able to audit accounts, it is true, but
the proper auditing Office is that of the
controller general"
The treasurer expressed the belief that
DR.. Yeates was competent to carry on
the business of his department, but said
