Clelland he gave the idea his hearty
approval as he does everything tina
will in any way be of benefit to Cha
mute. He is one of Chanute's mos
public spirited citizens, and is ever
showing the most substantial belief
in her future worth as manufact-
uring city. His energy and push is
almost proverbial with Chanute citi-
zens.
Mr.. McClelland is a native of Hi
nois. He was born on farm in the
Sucker" state in the year 1857. His
schooling was limited, but he took
advantage of all that existed in that
line. His first earnings were eked
out by working on a section. Later
he taught school and found the work
more to his liking. In the year 1880
he moved to Chanute where he en-
gagged in the brokerage business. He
entered the service of Santa Fe COM
pany as travelling agent, which posi-
ton he held for five years, making
his headquarters during that period
at St. Louis for three years and the
balance of the time he lived in Chi
cago. At the expiration of that time
he severed his connection with the
railroad people and returned to Cha
mute where he devoted his time to the
real estate and brokerage business
anew. 1t is claimed that he sold
more real estate than all the Others
sold together.
Mr.. McClelland was elected chair
man of the state republican club and
served for two years under Judge Ed.
Madison. He has been postmaster
five years. 1t was through his Ell
forts that Chanute got new Office.
He made the office second class.
How he did it; he can best tell.
The rural delivery has become per-
feet under his management, and all
are pleased with Mr.. McClelland's Of
fetal conduct, regardless of political
belief.

The subject of this sketch was born
on farm in the state of Ohio in the
year 1912. His schooling consisted
of that which existed in all rural dist
riots in those days. Farming became
his vocation until the year of the re-
bellion when he enlisted with the end
Michigan Volunteers, Company D.
He went through all the hardships
of that great strife until the year
1864 when he was mustered out. He
moved west, stopping for a time in
Iowa and during the year 1870 moved
to the place that is now called Cha
mute. Mr.. Vansandt has held the po-
sitions of sheriff, road overseer, depu-
ty U. S. marshal and city marshal in
Neosho county and Chanute. He is
at present deputy city marshal and
gives the same satisfaction that he
did years ago.
Harriet Beecher Stowe immortal
lied the elder Vansandt by making
of him a character in Uncle Toms
Cabin, and our present officer recalls
the many escapades of his father with

that existed at that time. Mr.. Van

PROFITS IN OIL.

When conservatively managed tn,
oil and gas business is one of the
most profitable lines of industry
known, and probably the most uni
formly successful "Struck oil" i:
synonymous with suddenly acquiring
wealth. Greater fortunes have beer
made out of oil than any other prod
uct of the earth. The growth of the
oil industry is the miracle of the age
Few people realize the magnitude
The total production Of petroleum II
the United States amounts to nearly
fifty billion gallons, and the value Of
the oil and its products exported
amounts to over one billion SIN
hundred million dollars. Investments
in petroleum represent over one
thousand million dollars. The indus
try is on a more stable basis and pay
ing larger profits at the present time
than ever before. United State gov
eminent reports show that during
the past five years the average price
of oil has been about $II5 and the
cost of production about cents per
barrel. A we'll producing five barrels
daily will earn $50 per cent annually
on its cost; one producing ten barrels
300 per cent; one producing IS bar
rels 1000 per cent; and one produc-
ing 100 barrels 5000 per cent. Com
pare these Pr offs with ordinary
lines of business or investment. The
profits in oil are so enormous that
it only requires sufficient capital to
develop a proven oil property to in
sure success. On account OF the
large number of companies develop
ing oil properties, the keen struggle
for cash, and the difficulty of con-
vincing skeptics of the actual merits
OF the enterprise, great many Oil
stocks have been placed on the mar
ket at prices far below their intrinsic
value and thousands of people who
recognized the exceptional opportun-
tiles offered have in short time
made ample fortunes from small in
vestments. History repeats itself
and oil will do for you just what it
has done for countless others.
The Times has no stock for sale,
but being and keeping in touch with
conditions in the oil industry, does
not hesitate to make the above state
