SETTLEMENT

The affairs of Gear & Lansing are
about to be wound up, an arrangement
satisfactory to the creditors having
been reached. An assignment will be

streets Yesterday that the Bishop Es-
tate had demanded that the personal
nronerty of Messrs. Gear & Lansing be
turned over TO the creditors of the hrm
and that Mr.. Lansing had assented.

great amount of reticence among those
who knew.

H LILLIAN L. JOdNoIONE n, an

Works. met with a very Sc
rious accident late yesterday afternoon
while returning home from his work on
a bicycle. In seeking to avoid COLI
sion with carriage driven by two la
dies on the wrong side of the street,
he ran into the sidewalk on Beretania
street near the office of DR.. Water
house, being pitched violently into a
fence and rendered unconscious.
A crowd quickly gathered and DR..
Mays was called to attend the young
rlan. Some bystander identified the
unconscious bicyclist and he was ear
ried to his home at Mrs. W. l.. john
sons, on Punchbowl street, where DR..
Mays made an examination and found
the sufferer seriously injured, his left
shoulder being dislocated, one rib brok-
en-, his right knee being severely sprain-

Such accidents as this one are of too

where. on account of the narrow

wider streets should be exercised. The

THE NEW YORK SUN
Money Article, Headed
The Financial Situation
published each Monday, has for Is
years been looked for with the great
est interest in banks and counting
rooms and among all financial men,
and has been respected as perhaps
the most intelligent review of the
money market and stock market. In
this article, Monday, June 3, the
Sun in the course of review of the
business and condition of the South
western Railway systems says: "An-
other potent influence affecting Atch-
inson for good is the oil discoveries.
People here have not paid as much
attention to this matter as they
should. The general tendency has
been to scout it as a craze. But
there is no longer any doubt that it
represents permanent and almost
incalculable increase of wealth to the
Southwestern territory, and hence,
inevitably, to the Atchinson, South
ern Pacific and other railroads in that
section. These railroads will gain
much by the additional business
generally growing out of the new de-
velopment, but their chief product
will be in the astonishing saving
rendered possible to them in the cost
of fuel. A ton of coal in oil does not
cost over 81, whereas the coal used
by the Southern Pacific and Atchin-
son railroads last year cost between
SO and Sd ton. AS the expendi-
ture for this purpose is nearly 20
per cent of the total cost of trans
portation on the roads, the import
ance of the new found economy is
apparent, 1t means millions of dol
lars to these railroad properties"
This article fairly represents the
trend of thought toward the oil in
dustry among capitalists generally.
The magnitude of the industry and
it's Importance as source of wealth
is perhaps not yet appreciated by the
general public, but the leaders in
finance recognize fully that oil and
it's numerous by-products is to cut
great and constantly growing fig
ure in our domestic and export trade,
