Trotting Register association against
the acceptance of Lou Dillon's high

Chanute, Kas., Dec. 22-The Tribune
says:
z. T. Heath a farmer living ten
miles due east of here. started some
fifteen years ago with comparatively
nothing, and by persistent. hard work
and good management he has accu-
INFLATED considerable wealth. He owns
several hundred acres of land and
raises a great deal Of live stock. This
winter he is fatteninR about 300 head
of cattle and probably as many hogs.
He lives on a mail route and has his
mail delivered at his door every day
He also lives on rural telephone line,
and can talk to his neighbors OF any
body in town without leaving his fire
side. But he has secured something
lately which lays all other convent
ences in the shade. Some time ago he
leased his land to an oil company and
they drilled we'll about 600 feet from
his house. They did not get oil, but
found plenty of gas, and according to
an oil and gas lease the farmer gets
all the gas he wants for his own use
free when gas is found on his farm.
Mr.. Heath is taking full advantage of
this. He has a nine room house and
has lights in every room in the house;
also in the halls and cellar and has six
stoves connected with gas. Besides
this, he has g gas heater in his hen
house and in his hog house and has a
furnace outdoors for heating water for
butchering and cooking feed for his
stock. He also has a gas engine which
furnishes power to grind the feed for
all his stock, including the 300 head
of fattening cattle, and pumps water
for them all, besides doing all kinds
of odd jobs, like running a churn,
grindstone, cornsheller, etc. To cap
the climax he has a large gas light in
his barnyard with a powerful reflector
like the headlight on a locomotive.
which lights up the entire barnyard.
and when he throws open the big doors
in the end of the barn the whole in
terror is as light as day. In addition
to this he has gas heaters connected
with the water tanks in his feed lots.
so his cattle have warm water to drink
all winter.

from Chanute, is to have a farm some
thing out of the ordinary. He is a
