Under the stimulus of prospective

from the Deming yards, containing q

Kansas OIL Fields.

In addition to its splendid sdspts.
bility for farming, fruit growing and
stock raising, Kansas Is also well
known as a producer of great sbun-
dance of salt, coal, lead, zinc and other
minerals. 1t has become something of
a manufacturing State, and is rapidly
taking a prominent place as a COM
munity which has sufficiently di-
versiied resources to make it a growing
and prosperous commonwealth for
years to come.
The public is pretty well informed
as to the resources above referred to,
but not go much is known of It's nat
ursl gas and oil territory. These wells
seem to be found In comparatively
close proximity to each other. Neode-
shs, In Wilson County, seems to be the
center of the gas and oil producing
section. This little city is, by the way,
an enterprising and prosperous one.
1t has about 1000 people and bears in
dications of becoming one Of the large
cities OF Kansas. Within radius of q
few miles are located nearly 100 oil
wells. They are owned largely by the
Forest Oil Company, which is under
stood to be an auxiliary Of the Stand
ard Oil Company, At the present
time this company has thousands of
barrels Of crude oil stored In tanks
ready for the refinery which is being
erected as rapidly as possible.
An oil refinery is complex institu-
tion. It is hard for an ordinary corn
fed newspaper man to get any very
definite idea of what the various tanks,
watts and stills are for, and they serve
only to convince him that oil refining
must be a complicated business. The
oil Is pumped from the wells to small
adjacent tanks by steam power, and ia
then pumped from the small tanks to
the larger ones. The engines are fred
with natural gas instead Ok coal. 10

A Terre Haute Ind.) dispatch announces
that the Sanitary Inspector has discovered
that many dairymen are using prepara-
tion called .'preservlne' to keep the milk
from sourlng, and that this preparation is
highly injurious to health. Tests have
been made and milk has stood for ten days
without any change In the taste, but an
analysis shows that it becomes serious
menace to health, especially when used by
children. The dairymen have been warned
that they must stop using it or be prose
cuted for selling an adulterated food
product.
The Washington Post says the Agricul-
tural Department Is being importuned
from all parts of the country for beet sugar
seed, In view Of the unsatisfactory prices
received for staple crops during the past
few years and the prospective increase in
the duty on sugar, farmers in all sections
Of the Union evidently intend to expert
ment with beet sugar culture. Heretofore
beet sugar growing has been confined al
most exclusively to Nebraska, Kansas and
California. The department has sent beet
seeds this spring to about thirty States and
Territories
A late dispatch from San Francisco says:
cit is stated here on good authority that
Millionaire Searles, OF the sugar trust, is
negotiating for the purchase Of all beet
sugar factories in California. Searles is
now in southern California inspecting the
big beet sugar factory on Chino ranch, and
Wendell Easton, who is managing this part
Of the deal, Is to meet him tomorrow at
Riverside with all papers showing what
has been done since the factory was estab-
lished This deal includes not only Chino,
Watsonville and Alvarado beet sugar
plants, but the new factory at Salinas
which CLAUS Spreckles is now building.
The profits of beet sugar.making have been
large at Spreckles' Watsonvlle factory,
for during last year dividends were III per
cent. This deal, If perfected, removes the
only opposition in this State to coptinu-
ance Of Hawaiian reciprocity"

Effects Of the Investigation.

From the Smith Center Journal
The fact that Populist newspapers
of the State are reading the riot act to
the members Of the last Legislature
who dabbled In the Doodle business,
or are said to have done so, is stirring
up a new field of discussion for Repub-
licsn papers, and they are wondering
what the effect will be on the new
party. Seeing 1t through their glasses
the question would be a hard one to
answer; but from a Populist stand
point it is very different. Men count
for but little in a political party, If
the purpose Of said party is other than
the advancement of a lot Of Office.
seekers, If any POpulist member of
the Legislature is convicted of boOd-
ling he will be promptly turned down
by the newspapers of his party, The
newspapers of the new party are wear
ing no brass collars, and when an Off !.
cisI within the line betrsys the trust
reposed in him by the people he will
be promptly set aside. The people of
Kansas know well that there was no
more boodling in the 1897 Legislature
than when State affairs were being
managed by the Republicans; the only
difference is there are honest men In
the Populist party who will not stand
by and allow it. No, the investigation
will do the Populist party much good,
and as a result the true principles Of
reform will be held more sacred than
ever by tn ) voters Of the country,
