Another Palmer-Lanyon Complica-
ton.

Ex-County Surveyor Dewitt has
lately finished the work of surveying
and plotting the ten acres adjoining
the townsite of LaHarpe belonging to
the Palmer Oil Company. And &C.
cording to the lines established by
this survey the big LaHarpe gas well
bored by the Robert Lanyon's Sons
Spelter Co., is actually on the Palmer
Company land, instead of on the lot
belonging to the canyons, where it
was intended to pc put.
If the lines established by Mr.. De-
Witt are officially confirmed, of
which there seems to be little doubt
the complication will be an interest
ing one. A gas well is permanent
fixture. 1t cannot very well be NOV
ed. Hence 1t is part of the real es-
tate and belongs-in the absence of
contract to the contrary-to the owner
of the land on which it is located.
Therefore IL it is proven that this well
lie actually on land belonging to the
rainier Oll Company, IL belongs 10
that company, and the canyons have
no legal right to it and no rec curse
whatever against the Palmer Com
paDy. Indeed the Palmer Company,
az the law stands, would be able to
get a judgment against the LANNON'S
for damages to at least the amount of
the gas they have used and sold out
of the well. AS this is the biggest
well the Lanyon's had yet found in
the LaHarpe field, the one which sup
plies the town of LaHarpe with fuel
and lights. and the one most depend
ed upon by them for fuel for the new
smelter, the serious side of it from their
standpoiD may be easily seen.
1t is a most unfortunate complica-
ton and it is to be hoped it will be
adjusted equitably and satisfactorily
to all parties concerned.

Word comes from Humboldt of a
young man and check who stayed
together until the latter got the
former in trouble. A young man at the
brick yard took seven dollar check
to q merchant and casbed 1t and the
merchant for some reason gave him
back the check also. He then cashed
1t elsewhere and the check then made
q circuit Of half a dozen parties finally
returning to the first merchant who
refused to cash it again. Then the
authorities jumped onto the young
man and put decided check on his
actions by locking him up.

ANOTHER BIG WELL.
And the Meaning of it is that
in all Probability, Work
will Commence in a
Few Days on
ii BIG NEW ZINC SHELTER.

The drill which has been pounding
away near the Rose Hill school house,
four miles east of lola, for the past
two weeks, struck the gas sand Sat
urday and another great well has
been added to the finest gas field on
earth. This well is one of the old
fashioned sort, from eight to ten mil
lions daily, and Mr.. E. X. Taylor,
under whose management it has been
sunk, is correspondingly happy.
The REGISTER does not speak by
authority, for official announcement
has not yet been made. But it is the
general understanding among those
well qualified to know, that the new
well is the property of the Cherok ee-
Lanyon Spelter Company, and that
this company was only awaiting the
completion of the we'll to begin here
the construction of large zinc smell
ter. The editor of the REGISTER,
during a recent visit to Pittsburg,
found the opinion to be practically
settled there that this Cherokee Lam
yon people would soon abandon their
works at that place and concentrate
everything at lola. The completion
of this splendid well, and the GER
tainty that the land which they re-
Gently bought is in the very heart
of the gas territory, must surely en-
courage the Company to make this
move which would be 80 manifestly
to their interest.
So the REGISTER feels sure enough
of what is coming to congratulate its
home readers upon the addition OF
another splendid enterprise to the
number of similar Industries which
make lola the most prosperous town,
and will eventually make it one of
the largest cities in Kansas.

ly the water got deeper, but as they
had orders to proceed to Garnett
and stop there they went
right ahead. The water at last be-
gan to put out the fires in the engine
and the engineer stopped the train.
An examination of the surroundings
showed that a sea of water surround

only about twenty feet distant from q
land slide which had carried the top
of the high grade clear away and the
track was lodged against the tele-
graph poles. Thirty seconds farther
and the whole train would have
plunged into 40 feet of water, When
the passengers learned of their mar
row escape they all wilted.

COUNTRY BORN AND CITY BRED
The Combination That Makes Successful
Ner.

A great deal is said about many men
who have come to prominence being
country born; that they first opened
their eyes to the light of day in some
country place; that their early trf lining
was received on farm; that to-day, in
any Of our large cities, the leaders in
finance and trade are men who come
from the farms; that our statesmen,
those who have the most to do with set
Ting the affairs of nations and govern
ments are of country birth, says the
Pittsburg News. MuNh so claimed is
true. Yet the way the claims are put
forward it would give one the impress
sion that to be born in the city was to
commence life handicapped: that the
boy would fail in his contest with his
country brother. The fact is many lead
ers IN all the departments of life never
knew what it was to live outside of city
walls. There is one phase OF this ques-
ton rarely considered, and that is that
to attain the prominent places they
have filled these men needed the train
ing of both town and city. Very few
OF those held up to our attention con-
tlnued to dwell in the country. When
maturer years came they sought other
places Of abode. Prominent men who
have always lived in country places are
few. Country born, they needed the
polish Of town and city to succeed
Their open air life laid the foundations
Of tie physical health ard enabled them
to bear the burdens they afterward had
to carry. quiet life gave them time
TO consider the problems that afterward
they helped to solve, but they needed
the wider outlook. the help CT urban
contact, to wipe out the defects and
force the development that made them
great. The iron ore is found in the
rugged mountain. but it needs the re-
inning processes of mills and of man,
hands before it comes cut glittering
steel. In the remote Klondike gold is
found, but it must be taken to the
smelling works and minis of civiliza-
ton to be fashioned into the ware or
made into the coin that men want.
Rarely do men attain distinction with
out coming under the stimulating influ-
enceS OF town and city life.
