Our CoaI-Producing Lungs

The volume of carboLic acid exhaled
by a healthy person in twenty-four
hours is about fifteen thousand cubic
inches, containing about six ounces OF
solid carbon. This is at the rate of 1877
avoirdupois per annum; and, taking the
population of the world at a thousand
millions, this means that the human
race breathe out every year sixty-one
million tons of solid carbon.

Chanute Hears of Such Line and
Rushes Out to Stop the Pro
cessiOn-IOla Should Act.

Thursday evenings Chanute Sun
says:
'Mr. G. A. Cox, of the railroad
committee of the local Board of Trade
was at Erie yesterday and succeeded
in interesting gentleman, Mr.. d. w.
Spooner, who with party of eugi-
neers, is surveying u new railroad
through from Memphis, Tenn, to a
Santa Fe connection. He is Supt. of
the corps. They had surveyed through
st. Paul to Erie and we're then going
through to lola, keeping away from
the Neosho river. Mr.. Cox succeeded
in interesting Mr.. Spooner in Chanute
and brought him here with him to
meet the Board Of Trade and secure a
proposition to make this the terminal
point of the new road. Mr.. Spooner
was met this mornin ng by committee,
Mr.. Cox, L. Rosenthal, d. T.. McClell-
and, j. j. Hurt and j. N. Mcdonald.
Some idea was gained as to what
would be necessary and proposition
that will no doubt be satisfactory was
sent to the locating committee's head
quarters at Joplin, this afternoon.
Mr.. Spooner was SO we'll impressed
with Chanute's advantages as term
inal point that he promised to recon-
mend the acceptance Of the offer. He
agreed also that any bonus given
should be expended in railroad con-
struction by q local board of direc-
tors.
"Mr. Spooner said the road was
new independent line TO establish con-
nection with the Santa Fe, to Memphis
Tenn, and southeastern points, and
that the men at the back of 1t have
money TO build an air line clear
through. The road runs through
Missouri and through the places
where the sand is obtained for glass
factories, which would thereby estab-
iish direct communication for the
glass industry here.
Construct on of the road will COM
mence at this end of the line and the
main offices probably be located here
Operations will commence as soon as
sufficient of the track can be laid and
the equipment necessary secured.
There will be little delay in building.

Washington correspondent in To-
peka Journal: The authorship OF the
platform adopted at the Republican
state convention has been attributed
to almost everyone except the man
who wrote it. The author Of the
platform is Representative Scott. 1t
was written before he left Washington
for Wichita, not with any idea Of
debating to the convention, but
rather in the nature OF a suggestion
as to the subjects upon which the
party should declare itself. When
submitted to the committee on resolu-
tions, however, it was adopted almost
entirely. The only material change
in the platform from the original
draft was the plank endorsing the
president, which was elaborated upon
while it was in the hands OF the com
mittee on resolutions. The commit
tee wanted to make sure that there
would be no mistake about rejecting
the temper of the Kansas Republicans
toward the president, so this plank
received Furnishing up at the hands
of the committee until it was effulgent
with encomiums of thechief executive.
And to make assurance doubly sure,
the committee went step further and
inserted clause pledging to Roose-
welt the support of the state for an
other four years in the White house.
Representative Scott is too modest to
claim the authorship of the platform,
but the document is his handiwork,
just the same. It's fine construction
and tone has been the subject of much
favorable comment here.

viii Investigate Zinc Lands.

The following from q Washington
dispatch is of dual interest to lola
people. Many acres of the zinc lands
to be examined by government ex-
pert geologist belong to lola people
and the expert is George Adams, a
son of Mr.. II. B. Adams of this city,
The dispatch says:
During the coming summer the
United States geological survey will
continue the study of the lead and zinc
fields in northern Arkansas; this work
will be under the charge of George l.
Adams, assistant geologist, who will
be assisted by Prof. A, H. Purdue. of
the Arkansas State University, and
by Ernest f. Burchard. In this in
vestigation an attempt will be made
TO describe all the camps of that i'm
portant section and in particular will
include a careful survey of the teri
tory covered by the government typo
graphical map sheet known as the
Yellville quadrangle, which includes
most OF Marion and parts of Boo ne
Newton and Searcy counties. This
work will be continuation in
detail of the study of the Ozark lead
and zinc region, which includes north
ern Arkansas upon which prelimi-
nary report of Baine and Adams was
issued in the last annual. The re-
sultsof the work will be a report upon
the lead and zinc field of northern Ar
kansas, together with a geological
folio, which will follow other similar
folios, issued by the geological sur
vey, in giving an accurate geological
description of the region, illustrated
by maps showing the topography and
also the surface, economic, and struc-
tural geological features"

School Bond Defeated

From the LaIIarpe News: &.
The school bonds for a new schools
house were defeated Saturday because I
OF need OF proper interest.
There we're 1926 votes cast, 324 were
for the bonds and one against. As
there are between 1900 and 1900 people
in the district, it is thought not safe
to issue the bonds on this small vote.
There is practically no opposition
to the bonds yet the people don't
recognize the imperative need Of
new school house. There is no two
ways about it, we will have to more
school room next winter to accommo-
date the children, and every failure
to carry the bonds simply adds more
expense with results. A new election
will have TO be called and this addst
expense that could have been avoidedA9
had the people been awake to the tru In
interests.

court Friday evening, after hearing
all the cases that seemed ready for
trial. He wrote across the foot OF the
docket that all cases not otherwise
disposed of are continued.
In the case of w. S. Falls and s.
ID. Ray, the court held that Falls is
entitled to possession of the stock OF
goods, but that Ray did not owe Fal-
liss SO, 900, the value of the stock as
fixed by the jury. So Falls is ordered
to pay Ray Sl57.11, the difference be-
tween the debt and the stock, thus set
tling all claims between them. Each
party Is to pay his own costs.
H. M. Riley was granted divorce
from Mary Riley and the custody Of
their child, Opal.
The suit of r. f.. Bray VS. G. c..
Smock was not heard because there
was nobody to be found who would
push the prosecution.
The mandate OF the Supreme Court
reversing the district court in the case
Of G. B. Bell VS. Lanyon Zinc Com
pany, was ordered followed. The
former judgment is set aside and a
new trial ordered. The defendant ex-
cepted to this last order.
Ono OF the suits to cancel a gas
lease, which has been booked in the
district court for a long time, came
up for hearing this morning and after
hearing the evidence, the brevity Of
the testimony, it seems surprising that
the case was not tried sooner.
The suit Is that of H. T.. Burtiss
against the Lanyon Zinc company.
Mr.. Burtis leased his 200 acre farm
to George A. Bowlus. Bowlus trans
ferred 1t and several transfers oc-
CURED, the lease finally coming into
the possession of the Lanyon Zinc
Company Now Mrs Burtiss sets up
the claim that she is equally interest
ed in the land and that she never gave
her consent to its being leased. w.
A. Choguill and G.. S. Ritter repre-
sent Mrs. Burtiss and G.. f. Benton,
j. b. F.. Gates and A. II. Campbell
represent the Zinc company. 1t has
been submitted to court to determine
whether under the conditions the lease
holds.
The main point of the prosecution
was that the elease was givento ID. b. ID.
Smeltzer to be used in inducing others
to lease, the Burtiss lease not to be
filed nor used. Mr.. Smeltzer got it
mixed up with the other leases, ac-
knowledged it and it went on record,
was bought and sold.
The suit really involves quite a sum
as the land is situated southwest of
LaHarpe in the Allen Center school
district where gas land is valuable,
At present the farm is probably worth
S4 600. With the lease off it would
doubtless sell for from $40, 900 and
$50, 900.
In the suit of H. T.. Burtiss VS. Ian
yon Zinc Company the court held that
the company secured and holds the
gas lease in legal form and so found
for it. The plaintiff asked for new

DEVELOP HUMBOLDT OIL.
Allen County Oil Lands May Soon Set
People Crazy-Company Will
Thoroughly Test Field.

There Is very little doubt that oil
In abundance exists along the Neosho
river bottoms from Chanute to Neosho
Falls. Around Humboldt considera-
BILE deposits have been discovered but
only recently steps have been taken to
hull develop the field. Last weeks
Union says:
At last the Humboldt oil field is to
be developed. This paper has repeat
edly urged that something be done to
encourage some one TO come In here
and develop this oil field, so that the
owners OF the land and others might
profit thereby. We have believed in
che past, and believe now, that this
6eld offers as good inducements to in
vestors as any field in Kansas. That
there is plenty of oil here and OF good
quality is evidenced by the many good
oilers which have been opened up here
while in the quest for gas.
The Chanute Crude Oil Co., com
posed mainly OF Kansas City, Mo-,
capitalists, has commenced operations
in this field on 160 acres of land be-
longing to r. M. Works, west of the
river, drilling being commenced
Thursday, Frank Jackson having the
contract. The company has options
on much more land and are negotiat-
ing for still more, and will start more
drills soon.
Mr.. Walker. one Of the directors,
Informs US that it is the intention to
develop the field, thus encouraging
other companies and investorsto come
here, and as a matter of course to
make all they can out of it by being
the first actual operators In this field.
The names OF the officers and direc-
tors are as follows:
L. M. Miller, President. Also presi-
dent of Zenith Milling Co., and ex-
president Kansas City Board of
Trade,
DR.. G. o Coffin, Vice President, Ex-
City Physician of Kansas City.
ID. M. Kennedy Treasurer. Vice
President of First National Bank of
Chanute, Kansas.
Joseph Helm, president of the Helm
Brewing Co.
James A. Bolen, president of the
Bolen Coal Co.
G. w. Longwell, superintendent of
the Kansas City waterworks.
Baylis Steele, member of the Upper
House of Kansas City council.
p. G Walker, Jr., and S. +. Can.
terbury, with National Security Co.,
Kansas City.
j. L. Lyen, formerly cashier of
Bank of Commerce, Chanute, Kan.
g. NJ. Canterbury, oil operator,
Kansas City, Mo.
These are gentlemen of ability and
means, and they are not starting OPP
'erations in this field for fun, but for
business, and that is what is wanted.
We hope the new company may strike
it rich in this field, thus beneftting
all parties concerned.
The name, "Chanute Crude Oil
CO." was chartered before they
knew of the Humboldt field, as we un-
derstand they were unable to get but
small holdings at Chanute. They
have large interests in the indie
pendence oil field and will do develop
ment work there also.
Mr.. Walker informs us that Hum
boldt wild be headquarters for this
company.
