PRETTY BIG PARISH.
An American Priest Has to Travel
Over One Larger Than All
Ireland.

An American priest who has a
parish larger than the whole of Ire
land in area is Rev. Father F. B.
Hayes, and his parish includes part
of Montana and North Dakota and
stretches for hundreds Of miles
through Wyoming. Father Hayes is
young man Of about 80 years and
ordained at Cheyenne by Bishop
.ahan May II, 1899.
During the first year of his priest
hood Father Hayes travelled over 49,
900 miles in discharge of his clerical
duties, looking after the spiritual well
fare of his scattered forces, says the
Pittsburgh Catholic. On one occa-
sion he rode 143 miles on train, 35
miles by stage and 215 miles on
horseback to baptize a child. On an
other occasion Father Hayes rode 500
miles on horseback through the noun
tain region of Wyoming to attend to
the spiritual needs of a few scattered
Catholic families. Father Hayes is an
athlete of the type SO much sought
= in a crack college team. He
can make 20 or 80 miles at a good
pace and frequently walks from his
home at New Castle on Sunday morn
ing IS miles into the mountains,
where there is situated a small mis-
sion, saying masses at both places
on the same day. The reason this
particular walk is made is the fact
that the trail is not a passable one
in several places for even the most
rugged and practical mountain climb

CKansas City starr
Between the coast range and the
Sierra Madre mountains. reaching
nearly from Siskiyou to San BernaT-
dino. Cal. there has sprung into being
/ within the last two years one Of the
! greatest oil well eXcitementS this COun-
[ try has ever experienced. In the best
oil fields of Pennsylvania the oil sand
was rarely more than forty feet deep:
in some parts of the Bakersfield dis
| tTiCt the sand is between 300 and 400
| feet in depth. An amusing feature of
the boom is the fact that the Southern
Pacific Railroad company, which
owned most of the oil land as d grant,
and sold il for $3.50 an acre eight or
ten months ago. is now paying out
hundreds of thousands of dollars for
the fuel oil that is being pumped there.
Charles +. Finlay, Kansas City real
estate man, was in Bakersfield a few
days ago. THE klOndike is tame COM
pared to that town. said Mr.. FinlaN
this morning. What do you think of
men who. a few months ago, were
working in grocery stores for $50 a
month, now being rated d [ S5,O0000O and
10000 coo? Well. it's a fact. Do you
know Joe Chanslor2 His uncle, Horace
Chanslor, was a Kansas City man. Joe
is about IS years old now. Two years
ago he was clerking in a grocery store
in Los Angeles. He became acquaint-
ed with a miner who was prospecting
for oil. and one day Joe went to the
old family physician and asked for a
loan of $4,000. The request nearly took
away the doctors breath. Why. Joe.
what do you intend to do with all that
money2 Where's your security he
asked. in establishment. I'm going To
sink oil wells in Ventura county, Joe
is said to have replied. I've no secUT-
ity to offer. but I want the money
''Of course the doctor couldn't ad-
vance so large a sum without some
sort Of collateral. and he sent Joe away
to look for some one who would sign
his note. He found q man finally who
was willing to try the scheme, and,
with his name and an agreement to
give the family physician One-half the
proceeds. the money was secured. and
boring was begun in three wells. One
was fairly good. another flowed freely
and the third was a gusher Now
comes the real part of the story that
may sound unreal. In eleven months
paid the family doctor S17S.000 for a
note that hadn't cost him a cent.

Joe Chanslor today is the king Of
the oil ring in California. He is rated
at $4,000. 0O0. and his wealth hasn't
changed him a particle. Joe took the
money he had made in the Ventura dis
trict and bought up a lot OF the most
