TO REDEEM .STAMpS.

The treasury officials are making

War Revenue Reduction act which

view to giving the public all infor-
nation on the subject possible at this
time the Internal Revenue Bureau
has issued the following statement:
GAN documentary and proprietary
revenue stamps in the hands of pur-
chasers on and after July 1, 1901, i,
will be redeemed by the government
under the provisions of the act of

THE TEXAS GUSHER
It's Estimated Output $40, ,22o,- !
900 Annually.

Austin, Tex. March PA test has
just been made of the flow of the
great Lucas oil gusher, and the re-
suits exceeded the most sanguine ex-
pectations of the owners of the well.
The flow was turned into an oil tank
which has capacity of 80, 900 bar
rels. This tank was filed in twelve
hours, lacking twelve minutes. At
this rate the flow of the well per day
of twenty four hours is 20, 900 barrels.
This is about twenty thousand bar
rels greater than any other well in
the world, including the greatest
producer ever struck in the oil dis
trict of Russia.
AT the price of 40 cents per barrel,
the Lucas we'll will bring to Guffy &
Galley, the owners, revenue of $685.

one year at the present rate, the rev.

Roads in Iowa just at present are
bottomless. 1t has been years since
their condition has been rs bad as
now, The result is that outside the
larger towns where the merchants
are dependent on the country trade,
business is at staudstill. Reports
received by local wholesalers, by the
resident grainmen from the mana
gers of country stations and from
their country agents and by the rail-
roads from station agents is to the
effect that business in the state is al
most at standstill on account of the
roads; that no grain is coming to
market; that stock is not being
brought in and that farmers travel
only when obliged to go to town for
supplies and then generally with
light rigs or on horseback.
