An lola man says the Independence
gusher gas we'll is as good as any well
in the lola field That settles it,
The well must be a big one, indeed,
when an lola man will make such an
admission.
The prospect well near the Santa
Fe depot was abandoned by action Of
the council Thursday night Of last
week. Many OF our citizens wanted
to see the hole drilled deeper in hopes
ofstriking q lower strata of gas sand,
but for various reasons it was thought
advisable to stop at the ! ,05O. level 1t
might have been waste Of money to
GO deeper, but some of our people will
never be satisfied until . deeper hole
is sunk. .., ....u... ,.. ....

According to the Assessor s.. book
LaHsrpe has a population Of $50 souls.
This lie quite. gain over last year,
but much less than 1t would have
been, had the smelter not burned.
This has been more than replaced by
Anewer and better building and by
new machinery. With the pros
pective extensions to the old works,
and the rolling mills it is safe TO say
that by this time Dext year LaHarpe's
population will be doubled.
From the Moran Herald,
Just as we'll make up your mind
right now that Moran is going to have
exercises this Decoration Day that
will be worth coming from the farthest
point In the county to hear. Band
and martial music galore, vocal music
under the direction of p. J. McGlAshan
and splendid speakers will be q great
drawing card. Arrangements are be-
ing made to have the speaking and
exercises In the park, more mention
of which will be made through these
columns later.
