We notice complaints from nearly
every gas town in this locality about
a shortage of gas during the cold
snap. Chanute has had no such COM
plant. We are inclined to think the
skill of our very efficient foreman pre-
vented any trouble here.
There seems to Re feeling through
the gas belt that efforts are soon TO
be made to pipe gas to distant towns.
We hope nothing OF the kind is seri
Dusly contemplated. Should such a
thing be attempted there is way to
stop it and the remedy should be ap-
piled.
