tie of crude oil yesterday to friends
on the street. In drilling for ore on
the Williams farm, one and one
half miles southeast of town, oil
seeped through the rock from at a
depth of IS to 80 feet. The oil was
genuine and Mr.. Thrasher. consid-
ers indications strong for finding
oil at depth of 100 feet. He left
last evening for Kansas City to
form a company to drill for oil. Oil
in paying quantities has never been
found in this vicinity nearer than
chanute, but strong indications of
deposits of oil aud gas have also
been evident. Indications were
strong recently in drilling on the
Shomon lease. Several drill holes
have been put down at Baxter
Syringe for gas or oil, but none has
been found. A company has been
formed with George Monlux as
to drill at Baxter Springs.
The drill is now at work, but 80 far

APPLE GROWERS KICK.
Southwestern Fruit Men Say Rates Are
Against Them.

Against Them.
Glenwood, Dec. 2S.-Southwestern
Iowa fruit growers are up in arms be-
cause they believe that the railroads
of the west are discriminating serious
ly against them. They insist that un-
der existing conditions it is impossible
for Iowa apple growers to enter into
competition with eastern growers, who
have in every way the best of 1t.
These matters were discussed al
some length at the meeting of the
Southwestern Iowa Horticultural soci-
ETY. in Glenwood recently and at that
time a special committee, consisting OF
d. l.. Heinsheimer of Glenwood. ]. T.
Hess of Council Bluffs, and w. NJ
Romberger of Harlan, was appointed
to interview the various western rail-
roads upon the matter and get re-
adjustment of rates If possible. The
committee will take up the matter at
once and make vigorous campaign tn
establish more equitable conditions for
western fruit men.
Especial complaint is made Of the
western rates on apples. 1t appears
that the rate on apples is about three
times that on grain and other produce.
The applemen of Iowa say this stands
in their way more than anything elss.
They can't compete with the apple
growers of Michigan and New York.
who have only to pay about half the
freight rate that Iowa growers do. For
instance, it only costs $111 on car Of
apples from New York to Omaha, while
from Glenwood to western Nebraska
