Dr. Woods, of LaHarpe, was in
lola Monday. The doctor says he in
tends to sell some of his LaHarpe
property and build ten-room
hospital where sick residents of the
city can be cared for and treated.
The hospital will be supported by
monthly payments from the smelter
men at 81 for married men and 80
cents for single men. The hospital
will be Iun much after the manner of
a company hospital but will be the
property of DR.. Woods. If such an iu-
stitution would pay at LaHarpe, lola
ought to he a mighty good opening.
The new gas well just northeast of
town is in new territory and it is a
good well, indicating northward eX-
tension OF the field. The drillers were
very anxious when they reached the
required depth and found nothing
and the striking of gas was great
relief and surprise 10 them. Since
then they have discovered that there
was a mistake of fifteen feet in
measuring the line and they were not
as deep as they supposed Joe Ross
says it is mighty good well, easily
1000, 900 and he thinks it could be
largely increased by going deeper.
Such well at that place may mean
more good wells as far north as Deer
Creek, adding greatly to the good ter
ritory. One dry hole don't mean a
worthless territory and there are no
holes north OF town.

two mile of town when he saw n
flock of ducks on pond near the
road. He tied his team and started
toward the pond and as he came close
to his game, to make himsefinvisi.
