Lea VenWOrth Times: The lola REG
lister takes exception to an article in
the Pittsburg Headlight, which speaks
disparagingly of the natural gas, and
the brick plant in the former place.
A column article in the REGISTER
says Pitlsburg's jealousy is natural,
and invites the Headlight staff to visit
lola any old time and see the biggest
natural gas field in the world.
lola Leads in Everything
NeoShO Fails Post: L. Rulofson
made his test of melting iron with gas
at lola last Friday, and we learn that
it proved a perfect success doing the
work with neatness and dispatch. AS
melting iron with gas had never been
accomplished before and was suppOs-
ed to be All impOssibility, Mr.. RulOf-
son is to be congratulated on his
success. The furnace is entirely new
in construction and will no doubt
bring the inventor a snug sum of
money hen patented.

Neodesha Register If what Charley
Scott says is true-and, although we
are bigger man physically that he,
we dare not dispute him-some chap
over there at lola has accomplished
that with natural gas which has
never been done before, i. g., melting
iron with natural gas. A foundry, as
we understand it. has been recently
established over there, and Saturday
eight hundred pounds of iron were
dumped into a furnace heated by
natural gas, and in a little over an
hour it was melted and ready to cast
into any shape. FOundrymen have
never been able to accomplish this
feat with natural gas before, so they
claim, and this discovery, which lie
the result Of the efforts of the presi-
dent and superintendent of the lola
opens up great possibilities
for the future of natural gas fields.
