KANSAS OIL BOOM.
Topeka Men Do Well in Cherry
vale Field.

Cherryvale, Kan, Dec. 18.-The Stand
ard Oil company is paying more for
oil now than ever before in Kansas. Its
quotations this week are $1.32 a barrel
for South Neodesha," Slip for North
Neodesha' and 60 cents for 'Neodesha
heavy" In other words. all oil pro-
duced south of Neodesha is worth 20
cents more per barrel than oil produced
north of Neodesha, except ell from the
Humboldt pool which commands only
so. This is said to be the highest price
ever paid for oil in a new field
Crude oil is advancing in value rap
IDLY and operators look for it to go
much higher before the drop comes. It
has not been very long ago since 10
cents was paid in the Kansas field.
But that was before the Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana fields
begon to show signs of exhaustion, and
when the Kansas field was used only
tC supply a limited territory with pc
:roleum products. While the eastern
fields were producing big the Standard
Oil company gave little encourag cement
to Karsas operators. 1t had its reserve
of 40 or so million barrels of crude oil
intact and the eastern fields were ad-
ding to it, besides furnishing the sup
ply for the markets daily consumption.
All this is now changed. Eastern pro-
duction is running low. the reserve is
below ten million barrels and Kansas
is the only field the country has to
look Tor. Inc STANDARD people tried
kentucky, but that field is nothing
compared with the needs of the country
and now Kansas is fast filling with OPP
orators. ]. B. Levy, who came here
from Ohio where he was an operator
Is years, and where he Still has produce
ing wells, says Kansas is now the most
valuable oil field in the United States
81 have been watching Kansas since
it began to produce oil, twelve years
ago." he said today. Last spring,
when it became apparent that the end
was fast approaching in Ohio and the
east, decided to come to Kansas and
look the field over. When I got here
was amazed at the prospect. I never
had before seen such a fruitful field for
oil operators. After l had been here
five weeks 1 sent for my family and
here we are to stay. Nothing like
Kansas has ever turned up for oil men
before. 1 look for 100. 900 operators to
come in here from the east before the
of the Kansas field cannot be told now.
It will take ten years for prospectors
to find the limits of it's area, and then
the work of development will only
have begun"
But there is a more competent wit
ness of the value of the Kansas field
than an Individual operator, and that
is the big Standard Oil company. Last
summer the Oil City Derrick, a trade
is inspired. if not owned, by the Stan
dard people, said in an editorial COM
ment that in the future Kansas would
be the life and the hope of the oil trade.
In proof Of the faith implied by this
newspaper utterance the Standard
| company has, during the year 1908,
established storage capacity fos

OPEN DOOR IN AFEICA.

London, Dec. 18.-William N. Ellis
has arrived in London from Abyssinia
and Will sail for the United States in
ten days. Upon his arrival there he
will proceed direct to Washington and
deliver to the department of state
letter from Emperor Menelik welcom-
ing the Americans to Abyssinia lin
that Robert P. Skinner, the American
consul general at Marseilles, who is
now or his return from Abyssinia,
would report the negotiation of a
matter
The emperor is anxious to establish
business relations with the United
States. Menelik extended a cordial
welcome to Mr.. Ellis upon his arrival
at Adds Abbaba, the Abyssinian cap
ital. He allotted a palace for him as
his residence, and during his stay Mr..
Ellis. was granted twenty audiences.
He found Menelik alert, intelligent,
and conversant with European affairs.
Meneliks knowledge of America
however, is deficient. He was much in
terested in Mr.. Ellis narrative con-
corning American affairs, especially
the development of the colored race
from slaves to the status of the whites
Upon hearing of Lincoln's liberation of
the slaves tears came into his eyes and
he insisted that the story be told him
a second time, exclaiming, What a
great man.
Menelik explained that he is abolish
ing slavery gradually. He said:
81 cannot do as Lincoln did. It
would upset things too much But 1
have decreed that while those present
slaves shall remain such their children
shall be free Thus slavery will disap-
pear
What above all impressed Menelik
favorably, said Mr.. Ellis. was the atti-
tude of the Americans. They do not
seek territory in Abyssinia. On this
subject the emperor said:
''Other nations come to Africa like
sons to tt cir father, saying, Father,
are you going to make will and leave
US somethirg2'
He added that America alone was
without land in Africa and wanted
none. She only wanted liberty for
trade.
Menelik and his chiefs were keenly in
terested in photographs Of Roosevelt
and views of New York and Washing
ton. These pictures they retained as
priced treasures, though it is not TO be
supposed that photographs are anything
new in Abyssinia.
Mr. Ellis is emphatic in declaring that
there is nothing to suggest baroarism
at Menelik's court. The emperor wears
European clothes and a felt hat OF
American shape. The empress and
court women are dressed after Paris
frame building of Swiss architecture.
1t has baths and other modern con-
veniences, and furniture Of Louis XVI
period predominant.
Mr. Ellis was impressed by the COM
rnereial possibilities. The country, he
saws. is admirably suited to cotton
growing. Minerals. including gold and
coal. are abundant, the deposits prac-
ticaily being untouched
There are some 120 articles that could
be exported from the United States to
Abvssinia. but cotton would be the
staple. Between $4,000 600 and s4.000.000

Kansas City, Dec. 18.-The extent of
