DECLARES DIVIDEND.
The America Company Holds It's
Annual Maetinp.

The annual meeting of the stoclhold-
ers of the America Oil and Gas COM
pany was held Saturday afternoon in
the cOmpany's Office on the fourth floor
of the Central National bank building.
The following board of directors was
elected:
Chas. L Short. Chas ]. Devlin. Chas.
s. Downing, r. B. Gilluly, D. ". Nor
ton, J. D. Norton, J. D. Norton, Jr.
The directors chose as officers for the
ensuing year: Charles L. Short, presi-
dent and general manager, ]. d Norton,
vice president, D. w. Norton. secretary
and assistant treasurer, Charles s.
Downing, treasurer. A monthly divi-
dend of one per cent on the par value
Of the stock was declared payable on
December 18th and the 18th of each
month thereafter.
This is one of the important COM
panies of the Chanute field and has
fourteen wells in operation. The fif-
tenth was brought in this week. Four
teen thousand barrels of oil have been
sold by this company during the last
six months The company is capitalized
with two million five hundred thousand
shares The par value of the stock is
ten cents per share, but the successful
development of the property has put the
shares above par.
A large number of Topeka people are
interested in the oil developments about
Chanute, Cherryvele and other south
eastern Kansas territory
The Importance of the oil situation in
Kansas is brought out in the following
item published in the New York Herald
under the date Oil City, Penn:
ION October "a the Standard Oil COM
pany, through its purchasing agencies
in the oil regions. advanced the price of
Pennsylvania oil to STA a barrel. which
is the highest price for this oil since
April II, 1895, when a temporary price
OF s. 50 was set.
1.-The total stock OF crude petroleum
above ground today is less than it was
in 1895 The Standard has been COM
PEELED to notify the Independent oil re-
finers that it cannot supply their re-
auirements of crude oil. and some them
lave already shut down. While nature
has heretofore aided the Standard in the
finding of new fields, it seems the help
from this source has failed. So far as
the wells in Pennsylvania are concern
ed they are now rated in gallons and
not barrels.
West Virginia is declining rapidly.
Ohio is as badly off as Pennsylvania
Indiana has a little output but the ex-
pense of getting it is great owing to the
vast amount of water that comes in
with the oil Men who have watched
developments and are conversant with
the statistical situation say the day is
not far distant when the distillation of
oil from coal will be necessary, the same
as in 1857, when the name was coal oil
and the retail price was 81 a gallon

YOUNKIN TO BEN CHARGE.
Will Be Appointed Custodian of the
Auditorium.

NJ. E. Younkin is to be appointed Gus
todian of the Auditorium this winter
This is regarded as the Softest snap
within the gift of the mayor. The Gus
todian has nothing to do except to keep
the seats arranged in proper order. dust
them off when a show comes, and sweep
out. Usually he has one or two assist
ants to do the work of sweeping.
At the present time Younkin Is dog
tax collector, and is also dickering In
various side lines He manages to turn
in more dog tax than anybody else, and
the city has found it profitable to give
him the job. He is also fully competent
to look after the Auditorium when the
supply of dogs runs out. Younkin will
continue catch dogs for another month
or so, and then will take up winter quar-
tiers at the Auditorium. Younkin is
smooth politician, and his influence in
the Fifth ward is considerable. Conse-
ouently he never has any trouble about
getting job. And he is one of the few
men who really earn their salaries when
working for the city.

these sewers will be built this year.
They may all fal, through. But the
councilmen who are interested in the
movement are all feeling quite confident
that their constituents will favor the
plans, and sign petition asking the
council to create the benefit districts
If all three sewers are constructed, 1t
means an expenditure of $500, 900 within
the city. 1t would probably not be pos
sible to construct all the sewers this
year, even if the people wanted to, for
the reason that the 100000 would carry
the outstanding bonds above the limit
provided by law. The bonds to pay for
the sewer mature one-tenth each year,
and draw per cent interest.

collection for exhibition at the St. Louis

is now en- route for New York direct or
for St Louis Koltchoff who has had
much experience in Alaska. speaks
hopefully of that country from an agri-
cultural standpoint, saying that with

FIFTH WARD SEWER.

According to the estimate of City
Engineer McCabe, the proposed Fifth
ward sewer will cost $120, 60667, which
divided among the ZOO lots in the dis
trict will make an average cost of
about $40 per lot. This is higher than
some of the Fifth ward people expected.

From the above figures, it is evident
that about $4,000 of the whole amount
will be expended in the item of labor.
This will help out in the business con-
ditions of the town by keeping up a
big demand for labor and Increasing the
population.
Even at $40 per lot. the proposed
sewer is not nearly as expensive as
some of those which have been built
in Topeka. Sewer No. Il. with which
the Washburn sewer connects. cost all
the way from $3S TO $239 per lot. John
Rhoades at Tenth and Kansas avenue,
paid S211o7 on his lot, and H. H. Parker,
just across the street, had to put up
$3.50. At Tenth and Harrison, the Man
speaker property paid s172 for the cor
ner lot and $153 apiece for the others.
city cost from $500 to $500 per lot.
The cheapest sewer ever built in To-
peka was the Washburn sewer, which
cost s22. 600 Tt was cheap because the
pipe used was not of exceptionally large
variety, and because it was able to con-
meet with the old sewer at Fourteenth
and Clay.
The new Fifth ward sewer will be
built partly of brick and partly of vitri-
fed pipe. There will be 1.640 feet of
brick sewer five feet in diameter; 1850
feet of 45-inch brick sewer and $50 feet
of 3e-inch brick sewer. The rest will
probably be pine.
TOWN WILL. p COVERED.
If the IT, Levers which are now
being talked of are all built it will COM
pIete the sewer system within the pres
emit limits Of the city of Topeka. Every
part of town will be accessible to sewer
facilities.
The sewer project for the Second
ward, which includes all that part of the
ward east of the Santa Fe tracks and
north of the Fifth ward, involves an ex-
pense of about $50 900 The cost of the
proposed sewer in Potwin, Lowman Hill
and Auburndale has not yet been fig
ured out. but it will likely be in the
neighborhood of 100000
