you have forwarded certain papers sub
mitted by the city authorities of Law
ton. O. r, Including record Of the pro-
ceedings in the matter of advertising for
bids and letting the contract for the con-
str..cs.oR of a city waterwor,1s system.
The contract with ". W. Cook & Son in
the sum of s1049S9 is also submitted.
1T is evident from a brief examina
tion Of these papers that they do not
make a complete showing ia the matter.
The department in order to act advised
ly. must have before il fulI information
in regard to prices and quality of work
and materials offered in the respective
proposals OF the bidders
You are therefore requested TO call on
the city authorities TO forward to the
department. through your Office the orig
inal bids on tho work. both as whole
and on is separate branches and with
them sworn statement that no other
bids were received Any drawings and
specifications submitted by the bidders
should also be forwarded.
From the record of the proposals re
ceived it appears that although the bid
of ". II. Cook & Son was the lowest for
the entire system complete, the lowest
Ids on The separate parts or branches
of the system described in the specifca-
tions Of the engineer amount to only
SS7. 73o, as follows: Cast iron pipe and
castings, SSS,o35; valves and hydrants,

The difference as above shown is about
$1,000 and fun and clear explanation

this additional charge over and above the
lowest bids received FOR furnishing the
material and erecting the plant under
separate proposals.
The city officials have urged a prompt
approval Of this project by the depart

FOR GAS
Business Men Take Charge of
the Matter.

COMPANY BEEN ORGANIZED


Guthrie. o. r, Dec 19.-They have the
gas fever in Alva and the Review says:
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock dozen
energetic and progressive business men
of Alva met in the city hall and after
talking over the chances OF locating wa
ter coal, oil, gas, etc, in and about Alva
they organized and started the move
ment to raise $1,000 or more TO prospect.
.-mong those who were there and started
the ball to rolling were H. A. Noah, J. d.
Share. II X Bickford G. E. Nickel,
Louis Miller, z. b. Griffith. jeff Bower.
+. Noble. j. W Monfort, J. P. Reed
and George D. Carter.
There has been a feeling among several
of the business men of Alva that there
is a good chance to find something in the
bowels Of the earth in or near the city.
Other cities with less favorable chances
nave succeeded in finding both gas and
oil in paying quantities. There are sew
eral companies organized and prospect
ing in Woods county and other points in
the territory. At Rusk, Cleo, Aline and
other points the prospectors are now at
work putting down wells. They have
found at some Of these places indications
Of both oil and coal.
great number of cities over southern
Kansas are now at work day and night.
investigating the ground under their sites.
At Winfield gas has been found at less
than 600 feet in paying quantities The
city is now putting in pipes and connec-
tons, CoTeyviIle and Cnerryvale have
been using natural gas for years. Wichita

indicate that they will soon find it. The
formation OF the land at numerous places
near Alva go to show that there is just
as good chance for success here at
home This little story is not a pipe
dream, nor is it the supposition Of any
one man. The men who were the first
to come forth with from 800 10 $500 if
necessary to find out if there is any truth
in the indications. are not the men who
throw their money away at the birds
They think the stuff is here and that it
is for the best interests of the city to
discover it if possible. The citizens of
Alva and the surrounding country should
take an interest in this enterprise and
assist the promoters in whatever way
they can People who viii be asked to

No man knows just at what point thees
things will be found. If they did. the
question would be solved right now. But
such is not the case. and the company

will be to get leases on land surrounding

port of this enterprise and help it all
they can.
