The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1902-01-17
THE FOUNDATION.

Yes, Chanute is destined to be
one of the large cities of the state
of Kansas. All the outside ridi
Guile and home knocking will not
deter it. 1t has the solid four"
ton and natural wealth +" 49,,
on. Its growth may be slightly
~ sd but can not be stopped.
We have developed the fact that
we have vast and apparently mex
haustible stores of what the manu-
featuring and commercial world is
wanting-gas and oil.
There are now al oil wells in
this Immediate territory None of
them are Beaumont gushers, but
they each will furnish from few
barrels up to hundred or more a
day, when worked to full capacity.
Mr.. Knapp IS, SO far, the only man
in the territory who is producing
oil. The other companies are new
in the field and are developing the
territory.
Mr.. Knapp is now working a6
wells and has several more good
oilers not yet connected up, and is
still drilling. We notice today he
is loading three tank cars for ship
ment. There are now four com
panles drilling in the territory and
new wells are being brought in every
week and almost every day. A new
company of local capital, we are
informed, will begin drilling in new
territory south of town just as soon
as drills can be got on the ground.
The oil that is being produced is
rich in illuminating oil and hence
much more valuable than much of
the otl produced in other fields.
The oil territory is being broadened
every week by new wells till it has
spread out beyond the expectations
of all. With new appliances for
burning, oil is destined to be the
great fuel of the future in localities
where gas can not be secured.
The Standard Oil Co. may be
able to hold monopoly on the
lighting of the world, but they never
can hold 1t on the heating. The
great fear of over production and
want of demand has been dispelled
by the wonderfully increasing de
mand for the oil as a fuel. This
demand is only in the experimental
state. 1t has been thoroughly
tested and found a great success
With improved appliances it is des-
tined to supersede the more bulky
fuel commodities.
Just as the world was beginning
to see the exhaustion OF our coal
supply, in comes the fuel oil and
takes it's place. Only recently an
English vessel crossed the ocean
with only crude oil as fuel. With
our great steamboat lines and i'm
mense railroad systems and vast ar
ray of factories using the oil as a
fuel, either ia its natural state or
converted into gas, the demand
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1902-01-17
STILL BIGGER.

The gas we'll brought in on the
Cole land, the last of the week, is
surely sumner. There was such
an enormu, flow of gas that it was
very difficult to pack. The drillers
were expecting strong flow and
had every appliance known to the
craft in readiness to control it, yet
it took all their skill to get ii COM
pletely under subsection. The task
was finally completed without &C
cident and now the Kansas & Texas
Oil Co. has one of the largest gas
wells in the state.
Soon it will be utilized. There
are plenty of manufacturing inter
ests only waiting an opportunity to
get hold of such treasure.

A GENEROUS DEED.

Our esteemed and liberal minded
citizen, ]. L. Barnes, division sup
erintendent of the Santa Fe, learn
ing that our fire company needed a
team, very generously gave the boys
an order on the manager of his big
stock ranch, near Shaw, for their
pick of any team on the place. The
boys went down to the farm aud
selected valuable span of young
mares which are now in training for
the fire service.
With a few more such liberal do
nations Chanute will have the best
equipped department of any town
twice its size in the state

will likely keep pace with the de

will likely keep pace with the de
velopmest and production With
our vast tract of oil lands fully de-
velored and producing, Chanute is
destined to be the very center of
beehive of industries that in a few
gears will astonish the world. The
oil is not all, indeed it is but
small portion of what this locality
has To offer to the public that is
destined to make us grow and de-
velop beyond estimation. There
are now in this field 20 gas wells
ranging in capacity from
dan IT, :, Of gas each per
&c latt developments in
me line of gas are simply wonderful.
From the very large territory now
known to be good gas land it would
seem that it would take ages to ex-
haust the supply. The slv wells the
city has drawn from the past year
are on the bottom next to the river
and are the lightest wells we own.
Mr.. Manly, superintendent of the
plant, informs us the pressure of
these wells, after years use, is as
strong in all of them as when first
drilled, and IN most of them strong
err There are several of the very
best wells in the territory, just
brought in, that are owned by com.
panies who have the gas to offer to
any manufacturing company that
may want to use it. There are in
exhaustable beds of the best brick
shale in the world and gas in abund-
ance to burn it underneath.
With fertile agricultural lands sur
rounding the town, a beautiful roll
ling townsite now occupied by over
5000 energetic citizens, situated on
the crossing of the Katy and Santa
Fe railroads, division point on
the Santa Fe, with division lines in
five directions, with the finest cll-
mate and best water on earth, and
all these other advantages and many
more that might be enumerated,
Cbanute is bound to grow and
grow rapidly.
Already arrangements are being
made for the immediate erection of
three or four large business houses
on main street, and the erection of
residences has not checked during
the winter months.
Chanute's prosperity is only be-
ginning to feel the throb of its bud
ding greatness. The hotels are
constantly filled with strangers seek
ing investments and any property
that is offered at bargain finds a
ready taker. Very soon investors
will find there is bargain in any
of it and regular boom will be on.
Chanute property is low and offers
great inducements to investors.
Farmers about Chanute have be-
come timid about setting a price on
their land for fear of taker.
We predict that Chanute will
have population of 10, 900 people
by the end of 1903.

AT LAST.

Our long suffering and much per.
turbed school board held verv
am,able, amicable and concliatory
adjourned meeting last Monday
night, and, for once during tho
past year of strife aud dscord, moth,
ing occurred to jar the equanimitv
or perturb the mind of the most
sensitive member and progress was
made.
The late torlorn and hopeless
bond proposition was recalled and
a new one formulated in accordance
with the desires of the people and
the interests of the whole district.
The new proposition calls for an
additional $a5 900 in bonds for the
completion and finishing up in
modern style of the buildings as
CONTEMPLATED in the last bond
election The building of six
room building in the Third ward to
replace the five room building de
strOyed by fire; 24-foot addition
to the High school room and a
general and complete repair of the
Fourth ward building and supply
ing it with modern heating and ven
lilatng devices. the same as other
ward buildings are TO have, closets,
etc.
This proposition will give the
board SIS, 900 with which to equip |
the town with suitable school build
lngs, including the S. 900 insurance.
This is none too much. Our
judgment is that it will all be need
ed, There should not be vote in
the town against this proposition.
1t Is just ami necessary with our
present needs and rapidly rowing h
population. We will need every |,
room provided for next year, lest It
be in the First ward.
The board also agreed to tender
Miss Jesse Abbott place for the
balance of the year, to relieve The
crowded condition in the Fourth
ward II a 70. IN can be secured,
Fey also agreed to purchase the
vacant lots south Of Jesse Shinn on
Evergreen avenue as site for the
Fourth ward building, provided it
can be secured at reasonable fig
ure.
We are glad to note the change
in the temper of the board and now
feel encouraged to believe that they
will 60 to work as soon ~ these
bonds are voted and push to COM
pletion the buildings as contem
plated
After all, the delay has probably /
been the. best thing that could have
happened for our school interests.
Had the board gone to work as
was expected and rushed up build
ing or two without informing them
selves as to what it taxes to con
stitute modern building We might
have had some unsatisfactory work.
Now shake hands with your
neighbor, smile on the school board
and swear you never said the mean
things you thought about them. Let
the past be forgotten and one and
all pull for school system IN Cha
mute that will not longer be DIS
grace to the town.

Mr.. Sidney that Mr.. Stair, who owns
Ward and Vokes' attractions, put out
his new star in the person of Mr.. Sid

was of the same style of THE Head

TITLES APPEAR GOOD
United States Attorney Miles Here to
Examine the Titles of the Land That
the Government Is to Buy for Fed
eral Building.

United States Attorney Lewis Miles,
of the southern district of Iowa, head
quarters Corydon, spent the day in the
city for the purpose of examining the
titles of the land that the government is
to purchase, at the corner of State and
Center streets, to be used for the erec-
ton of federal building.
Mr.. Miles was at the court house
nearly all day, in company with Mr.. I.
p. Marsh, going over the abstracts and
deeds that convey the property from
the owners to D. T. Denmead and 9th
ers. Mr.. Miles did not find anything
of Importance out Of the way with the
various deeds, altho it will be necessary
to make a trifle more sure of some of
them before the government will be
asked to accept them.
Mr. Miles does not pass upon the
titles finally, but simply makes his rec
concentrations to the department OF
Justice. He said that he had no reason
to believe that there was anything but
that could be corrected and the little
discrepancies Strengthened out without
difficulty or delay.

cure Cash
H. BROCK THE VICTIM
Is Robbed of s35 in Money and Cheek
for $500, His Allowance by the Court
in the Recent Soldiers Bounty Claim
Suit-Payment on Check is Stopped
Mo Clue Known.

One Of the boldest robberies that has
occurred in this city for several months
took place in the court house some time
during Wednesday night, when thieves
entered the room of Mr.. c. IL. Brock, or
the third floor of the building, and alb
stracted from the pockets OF his trous-
The door leading to his room was not
locked, and as the doors Of the building
are often open at night there is no clue.
Two men who were driven from the
building early in the evening, after De-
ing found asleep in one of the upper
corridors, are suspected, but their iden-
tity is not known.
EARLY in the evening Mr.. Brock found
a man, whom he supposed was drunk,
lying in one of the corridors. lie woke
him up and ordered him out of the
building, but as he moved away ne
showed no signs of being intoxicated.
Supervisor Shearer found another
asleep in a hall and notified Sherin
Shoemaker. who elected him from the
building. The man was thought to be
a tramp who was evidently figuring on
camping for the night on the floor.
Mr.. Brock retired about o'clock,
and his trousers, containing the money
and check, he threw over table stand
ing in the room. He was not disturbed
during the night, but on arising this
morning and DOMINIC his clothing he at
once discovered the theft and reported
the matter to the police. Night watch
men say that they often find the south
door of the court house unlocked during
the night, but Mr.. Brock explains this
by the fact that all the tenants and Of
ficials of the buildings have keys. and
they come and go at will. and at times
neglect taking the necessary precau-
tons of locking the doors.
The two men suspected of the theft
have not been seen today, altho descrip-
lions have been furnished the officers.
The check for 500 was drawn by Clerk
of the Courts S. p. Knisely on the City
National Bank and was in payment to
Mr.. Brock of the courts allowance as
plaintiff in the soldiers bounty case.
The check had not been endorsed, and
all the banks have been notified. Mr..
Brooks vest, which was lying near his
trousers, and which contained his gold
watch, was undisturbed.
