The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-09-11

In the city of Alton, Illinois, DUR
ing the year 1859, hard by the bank
of the queen of rivers, the subject of
this sketch was born. When old
enough he attended the public school
of his town and after taking a course
in the common school, he turned his
attention to the business of harness
making. He became master of that
trade and in the year 1883 moved to
Kansas, where he has become a
prominent factor in business and mt
nicipal circles. Mr. Gray has been
chosen by the people of Chanute 10
represent them in the city council
three terms and is favorite for the
fourth term. Mr.. Gray conducts
large harness shop where everything
in that line may be had He is very
busy man, yet finds time to help
make Chanute a greater city.

porous structure. The most compact
portions of the rock, as shown by II E
relieved, there is, first, a rush of gas,
microscope, contain a large propor-
ton OF vacant space. In addition to
these minute spaces between the
crystals of the rock, such as :harac-
terize ordinary oil sands, it contains
many large cavities, certainly as
much as an inch across, and prob
ably much more. While no accurate
determination of the relative volume
of the open cavities can be made, 1t
can hardly be less than third, and
may be somewhat more when ac-
count is taken of the minute spaces
between the crystalline grains. When
the oil rock is penetrated by the
drill, it is usually necessary to re-
move the water from the casing by
bailing. When the pressure is thus
followed by stream of oil, which is
expelled with great violence. The
oil, however, never flows in a steady
stream, like water from an artesian
we'll, but by series of jets or pulsa-
tons. These may be relatively slow,
each flow lasting for several minutes,
followed by an equal or longer period
of quiescence, in which only gas es.
capes, or they may be rapid, several
pulsations occurring in a single min
ute.

Conditions for Accommodating Oil.

DR.. c. w. Hayes of the United
say: The conditions which are es--
sential for the accumulation of oil and
gas in commercial quantities are ev-
erywhere the same. They are (I) a
source for the oil, either organic or
inorganic; (2l a porous Stratum,
which may serve as a reservoir; and
Cd an impervious cap rock, which
will prevent its escape. Conditions
which favor its accumulation, but are
not always essential, are Cd gentle
fluctuations of the strata forming au-
ticlinal arches or domes, and 50 COM
plete saturation of the rocks with
water and its slow circulation.

R. N. ALLEN.

During the year 1870 the subject
of this sketch arrived in the town OF
Chanute. He had had considerable
experience. At the age of seventeen
wears he entered with an Indian regi-

institution until the year 1901, when
ne disposed of his banking interests.
He had for many years conducted
successful loan business and upon re-
firing from the bank he was COM
PEELED to give his attention to the
former. He is a large property own

enterprises. A cut of the Chanute
Ice plant appears in this issue. Mr..

In ancient times the beds we read
about were simply rugs. skins or thin
mattresses which could be rolled up
