There may be something in this rumor

II is probable that if an acid plant
is put in here, the Lanyon Zinc COM
pauy will roast all of their ore here
for all of their smeters. The com
pany could then utilize all of the
fumes from the roasting ore by taking
the acid from them. This would add

1t is we'll known that terrible rheu-

EXPERTS ADVERSE REPORT
Indiana Gas Experts Tell Helm the
Available Gas Land is too Limited
for Pipe Line.

AS told in the REGISTER some days
ago the experts in the matter OF gas
from the Indiana field do not think
the pipe line to Kansas City is a
feasible proposition. They say moth
ing about the gas pressure nor the
volume of the wells, but base their re
port on the fact that the available
developed gas territory around lola is
too limited for such a huge eNpendi-
ture of money.
Here is the report of the expert
opinion from Sundays Kansas City
Star:
The plan to pipe natural gas from
the Kansas gas fields to Kansas City
proposed by Arnold Kalmod of st.
Paul, j, j. Helm of this city and other
capitalists will be abandoned The
plan has been declared impracticable
by the expert engineers who came here
from Columbus, o., to report ON the
project.
The engineers from Ohio, who have
had many years experience in the
natural gas fields of Ohio, Indiana
and Pennsylvania, met yesterday with
the promoters of the company that
propose to pipe natural gas to Kansas
City. At the meeting, held at the
Hotel Baltimore. the experts said the
quantity of natural gas in the Kansas
| "a
fields is too limited to warrant the
construction of pipe lines to Kansas
City, Topeka, Joplin and the other
cities where franchises for natural gas
plants have been granted.
The expert natural gas engineers
who submitted report to Messrs.
Helm, Kalmon and others were: Prof.
f. A. Ray, II. d. Turney, and j. o.
Johnson, all of whom live in Colum-
bus, O. They have been in the Kansas
gas fields for several days.
''The plan to pipe natural gas to
Kansas City is mpracticable, said
II. ID. Turney of Columbus at the Hote
Baltimore last night. ''We reported
adversely on the plans of the promo
ters of the company because we be-
lieve there is not a sufficient quantity
of natural gas. We made careful
and impartial investigation and found
that the supply of gas in the Kansas
field is limited. Therefore, we report
ed adversely"
The report of the experts will prob.
ably cause the promoters of the ma.
tural gas company to abandon all
their original plans Former Fire
Chief Hale was instrumental in secur-
ing franchises for natural gas in Jop-
lin, Webb City, Galena and other
towns.
Mr.. Helm said yesterday that com
pany with capital stock of million
dollars would be organized at once If
the Ohio experts reported favorably
on the plan to pipe natural gas to
Kansas City.

HENDERSON RE-APPOINTEO
What Four Years Have Done For
IOla's Mail Facilities.

Dispatches from Washington under
date Of Friday, June Il, report the
confirmation by the senate of the re-
appointment of Henry L. Henderson
as postmaster at lola. This an
nouucement, of course, created no
surprise here for Mr.. Henderson's ad-
ministration of the postollice has been
so generally satisfactory that his re
appointment was expected and no
doubt desired by the great ma jority of
the patrons of the office.
1t is very much to Mr.. Henderson's
credit that so strong sentiment in
his favor exists, for the four years
during which he has held the office
has been probably the most difficult
years in all our history for a post.
master to give satisfactory service.
lola was just starting on the upward
road when Mr.. Henderson took charge
of the postotlce. Owing to the fact
that the appropriation for carrying
on the Office have to be made on esti-
mates furnished a year in advance, it
is inevitable that a town growing as
fast as lola has been, should be al
ways ahead of its postoilice facilities.
This is the, situation which has con-
fronted Mr. Henderson from the first
day he entered the office until very re-
Gently. During the first year of his
service he paid $40 a month more
rent than the government allowed
him, and during the first three years
Of his term he has paid in the aggre-
gate over $4,000 more for clerk hire
than he was allowed by the depart
ment, the entire amount, both for rent
aud clerk hire, coming out of his own
pocket He was under no obligation
to employ more hel p than the govern
ment paid for, but the service required
it and he paid it out of his private
funds rather than disappoint the peo-
pie.
The extent to which the postoifice
business of lola has grown during
these four years is remarkable. Up
to the beginning of that period the
postmaster and one clerk did all the
work, the entire cost of the Office to
the government was $3.50, and the
gross receipts of the office for the year
were 90, and when we wanted
our mail We went to the Office after it.
From this time the postmaster, the
assistant postmaster and four clerks
give all the time to the work of the
office, while they are assisted by a
special delivery clerk for city business
four city carriers and three rural
route carriers with the fourth one soon
to be added; the entire cost of the of
! flee for the coming year VIII be more
than $4,000, and the gross receipts
of the year just ended were Sl3, 900;
while not only the 5000 people in the
city but 1900 people in the country
have their mail delivered daily at
their own door While the growth of
lola has, OF course, made this great
advance ir our postal service possible
yet it has required not only much
hard work, but a very clear head, to
keep the office abreast of the town,
and lola is fortunate in having had a
postmaster who was equal to the
task.
