Things Coming Gaswards.

In three successive issues of the Jop.
lin News-Herald are found the follow
ing three news items, all tending to
show the general trend of things
toward natural gas countries and
particularly toward the Kansas gas
field and lola. Wise men have said
for some time that all this country
need do is wait and there would be "A
stampede this way, and it begins to
look as if they were right.
The ews-Herald says:-The Col
linsville Zinc company is the latest
smelling concern operating with coal
to seek the Kansas natural gas fields.
Henry V eymann, of this city, pres
ident of the company spent last Fri
day at lola and vicinity looking up n
location. He was accompanied by H.
G. Meister, of St. Louis, general man
ager of the works. MIR. Weymann re-
turned to Joplin, Saturday and said:
eyes, it is true that we intend to
abandon our coal smelters and go to
Kansas. We can no longer make
money smelling with coal in competi-
tion with the gas smelters, so we will
go where the gas is. Mr.. Meister will
remain at lola for a few days to ar
range for "a location and the gas.
The company's coal smelter is To-
Gated at Collinsville, iIlls., opposite
St. Louis and it is one of the Oldest in
the spelter manufacturing line.
Messrs. Henry and Gus Weymann
been identified with the Joplin Office of
the company the past fifteen years.
Considerable ore is shipped from this
district to the Collinsville smelters.
And then .the story about l.. G.
Beatty being the Standard Oil repre-
sentative-a story which Mr. Beatty
has repeatedly denied-is sprung as
follows:
Fort Scott, Kansas, May 3l.-Rep-
resentatives of a big oil company said
to be located in Philadelphia, but
supposed to be the Standard Oil COM
pany, have put men to work in the
northwest part of this county securing
Gas and oil leases on all the farm
lands.
Home men have been employed tc
secure the leases and the work is be-
ing pushed rapidly, the company hav'
ing evidently made a big appropria
tiou for it. A couple of years ago the
Standard Oil Company through it'
representative, l.. @. Beatty of lola
prospected for lead and zinc ore il
this same neighborhood. 1t sunk I
shaft and took out little ore, bu
pronounced it insufficient to pay
There is considerable interest among
the farmers in the action of the com
pany. The men taking the leases sa.
the company proposes to begin pros
pecting Immediately.
In another issue mention is made o
the two Deutchers who put in a da.
here looking through the smelters, a
follows
Louis Feist, of Frankfort-on-th
Main, Germany, and Wilhelm Schultz
of Lindborg, Belgium, spent yester
day in the city. They are representa-
tives Of prominent smelling firms i
Europe and have been on tour q
the American continent for the pur
pose of examining the various smell
ing methods in use here.

That New Road is Needed.

As noted in the REGISTER
east Madison avenue has been shut of
from the public, both on the north
and south sides OF the street. AS sur
missed the district court decided that
the old street is private property and
unless the court of appeals reverses
this decision the city is minus "a bit Of
street which since the year one it has
used and considered its own. This
makes the only street leading east
from lola East street which is torn up
by the street ear line aud will be used
by the road. On it are the foundry,
the cider works, the brick plant, the
acid works, the new smelter and the
Nicholson smeller. leaning to and
from these plants and the switching on
the Missouri Pacific make the road en-
tirely too lively for the public, the
roadway is cut up and the danger of
accidents and unaways is great.
Hence it is that what the REGISTER
has repeatedly said becomes more i'm
portant, namely that a new road must
be provided leading east Oi town.
Spruce street is the most available as
1t is opened TO the southeast corner
of town and passes the end of the strip
which has just been closed up. Out
through Brooklyn Park and Brick
town II would make good, smooth
road, several blocks from the noise
and traffic and il could join the east
road near rock creek and at the same
time give access to that new bridge
which has been promised 10 the people
southeast of town AZ The Minor lord.
lola ought to take the initiative in
his business and make all roads lead
TO lola and make those roads good
and safe.

Flirted With Uncle Billy"

Everybody in lola is acquainted in
a way with Mr.. William Lanyon, more
familiarly known as "Uncle Billy"
and few indeed would choose him as
a subject on whom to practice flirting.
Such thing did happen recently how
ever. One of the young men in the
Office is u Mr.. Lyons and the Office
telephone rang recently asking for
him. The man who answered the ring
thought Mr.. Lanyon was wanted. He
second time the bell rang. The voice
over the phone then asked u have its
number called up when Mr.. Lyons
came in. After while Mr., Lanyon
appeared, was told OF the call and he
rang up the number and asked what
was wanted, Promptly a girlish voice
answered: "What did you mean by
passing me on the street without
speaking?" Uncle Billy was guiltless
OF the charge and he promptly broke
the news to the startled girl that she
never declined to reciprocate the mods
OF all the pretty girls. Mr.. Lanyon
decided il was about time to fly and
fed to the bosom of his family in
Wisconsin, but the boys haven't let
up on Lyons yet.
