PIPE LINE FROM DEXTER.
Gas in Large Well at That Place Burns
Readily,

Wichita is to have a pipe line from
Dexter soon," said Will Dedrick yester-
day. THE talk about the well at Dexter
being wind well is all hot air. The
gas that comes from the well is the real
stuff and the pressure is something enor-
nous. know that the immense volume
that pours from the well is gas because
1 tried it myself and it burns readily"
Mr.. DERRICK has just returned from
weeks trip 10 Dexter where he personal
~ visited the well and talked with the
secretary of the Gas, Oil and Developing
company OF Independence who own the
well and have leases on the gas terri
tory. The well was drilled some time ago
and the great volume Of gas was struck
AS the company had not secured all Of
their leases they made no announcement
OF their discovery of gas and the story
is being circulated that they have only
a wind we'll There is no doubt that
the well has great pressure but It has
been generally circulated that what
issues from the we'll will not burn. and
that no one has been able TO ignite IT.
Mr.. DERRICK says that this is a mistake
and that having tried the gas he knows
been keeping quiet until they closed the
leases Of all the land in the near vicinity
of the well.
While he was at Dexter the company
had an eastern capitalist from Philadel-
phia there to examine the well and their
holdings. This gentleman was not only
satisfied but also enthusiastic over the
well and promised that as soon as they
secured all their leases he was ready 10
furnish the money 10 pipe the gas TO
this city. Before piping TO this city the
company will put down another we'll or
TWO so that they will have a greater sup
ply. A second we'll is already down to
a depth OF over 500 feet and other work
Will soon be commenced. At present there
is some delay on account OF the lack OF
casing.

ing company have large holdings but be-
lieve that the Dexter field will prove 20

tons. This order is only temporary but
it is causing lots of trouble. The farmers
are hauling their grain TO the small
towns, and the elevators are full of grain
waiting for cars. Reports from some
sections say that the farmers are piling
their wheat on the ground until they can
get cars and they hope TO have them soon.
Tarpaulins are spread on the ground and
the wheat dumped into it. Continued wet
weather would cause whole lot of grain
to spoil. The farmers prefer to do this
and take chances on rain falling rather
than haul wagon load Of wheat back to
the farm, and many could not help the
condition much If they did haul their
wheat back, as few have large granaries

ASK FOR A BRIDGE
Petitions Are Being Circulated
for One at Harry Street.
ACROSS ARKANSAS RIVER
People Southwest of City Are
Anxious for 1t.

A petition is being circulated among the
and another west of the river asking the
county commissioners and the city to
construct pile bridge across the Arkan-
sas river at Harry street. There has
been some talk periodically about this
bridge but definite action was not taken
until few days ago. when the petitions
were started for the bridge. The solicit
ors are having no trouble in getting plen
~ of signers as many of the people are
very anxious to have the bridge built.
The reasons given for constructing this
bridge are that it would give people west
OF the river access TO the city without
going in a roundabout way to take care
of business in the south part of town.
and also that the Kansas City, Mexico
and Orient railway will build their shops
but a short distance from the river and
people living in the south end could not
reach them without driving at least two
miles out of their way. The Orient will
cross the river but q few blocks north Of
Harry street and this new bridge would
make the shops easy Of access. Another
feature is the claim of the farmers living
west Of the river and south OF the loca-
ton of the Orient shops These people
ask that the bridge be built that they
could reach the business section Of the
city without crossing the Orient yards on
Seneca street. The Orient is a transcon-
tinentaI railroad and when completed
will necessarily handle hundreds of cars
q day and TO do this will require large
track facilities, and a part of The yards
at least will cross Seneca street, one of
the main thoroughfares for farmers living
south of the city and west of the river
They claim that the switching and opera
ton OF trains across the street will cause
them great inconvenience and lay many
liable to accident which could be obviated
If there were bridge across the river at
Harry street. The Orient tracks cross
at Bailey avenue and turn north, coming
I'D Wichita street to Douglas avenue.
People living south OF Harry street could
cross on this bridge and reach the bust
ness portion of the city without crossing
the Orient tracks, and they could also
cross the Wichita and Western tracks on
either Main or Water street without the
heavy grade that causes a great deal of
trouble on Seneca street.

NO MORE EMPTY CARS
on Rock Island Until Loaded Ones
Are EorNNa rded

Farmers and grain men are greatly
worried just now on account of an order
OF the general superintendent of the Chi
cago. Rock Island and Pacific railroad
that no more cars can be furnished until
the stations and division points are clear
ed of all loaded cars. Rock Island men
say that their yards are full OF loaded
grain cars which they cannot move fast
enough and that every day the conges-
ton becomes worse II they continue to
have cars loaded, and this action was
taken in the hope that the freight conges-
ton on account Of wheat shipments could
be remedied.
Rock Island officials say that they will
move the cars rapidly as soon as they can
clean up the yards and then can handle
more wheat than under present condi-

SIX MORE FAMILIES
Will Make Their Homes in
Wichita Hereafter.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Will Change Residence of
Several Men.

Six more families will move to Wichita
within the next few days. Chief Clery
Reed OF the railway mall service yester-
day received the notice of the appoint
ment Of two more postal clerks to run
between this city and Monett, No. and
coupled with this was the instructions
of the six clerks working on this run.
The order becomes effective today and
the two new clerks will make their first
run this afternoon and tonight The new
clerks are Harry G.. Adams of Sedan
and Frank Kercheval.
Two mail clerks viii be on every Frisco
train east OF this city. instead Of one
heretofore The business on this line has
increased to such an extent within the
rast few months that 1t was impossible
for one man to handle 1t properly and
the chief clerks Office has been working
hard to get the other clerks allowed this
run.
There are four clerks who will
move here Immediately. They are z. j.
Rodda, J. S. Wallace, W. NJ. Zener and
c. w. Simmons. Heretofore their head
quarters have been in Monett as the run
was arranged so that the longest time
between runs came while at the other
end of the route.
The four men will move their families
mere as quickly as possible and make
their homes here. The order has been
expected for some time and goes into
effect this morning.
The official notice came yesterday that
the Wichita postoffice had been allowed
three additional carriers. This order be-
comes effective September 1. Assistant
Postmaster Mccoy is now working on the
routes arranging all OF the eighteen to
make them shorter and more compact
and thus allow of regular delivery of
mail In all sections and according to the
schedules which require four deliveries
a day in the business districts. The
changes necessary in making UP the
routes will consume some little time but
the work will be completed before the
order becomes effective,
