Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1903-10-30

We don't believe in the methods
pursued by a number of newspapers
of always nagging the business people
because they do not advertise. Most
people are in business for profit, and
if that profit can be increased by
spending money in advertising, they
will do 1t. Occasionally a measly
soul is found who doesn't know
enough to see the difference between
dead business and a progressive one,
but they are like the proverbial law
yers in the domains of st. Peter. Some
time ago we received a request for ad-
vertising rates, and those charged To-
cally were quoted. In due time we
received a order from a mail order
house for a half page ad. We wrote
the house that we did not run mail
order ads. Here is a part Of the
answer received from them. "We
mean to do business in your city, and
want your advertising space. If we

L - -'--SF -f'''' ~ - s'T-' - y :
Gas City, Kan.
GAS CITY,-(Speclsl) With the
postoffice Of Gas City as the center
a circle with a radius Of one mile will
include enough natural gas wells to
light New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and Chicago and still leave enough to
light every room in every house in the
state Of Kansas. This gives some idea
Of the vast supply Of gas In this vlcln-
ity and explains why Gas City has
more than doubled Its population with
in the past year. Within the circle as
described, there are 127 producing gas
wells. The weakest one produces
100000 cubic feet Of gas day. Sew
eral Of the big ones produce from 15,-
100000 to 100000 cubic feet perday
A fair average for all the wells prob
ably is 100000 cubic feet, or 1,OOO,-
100000 cubic feet combined. 1t takes
10000 cubic feet Of gas to equal one
tone Of bituminous coal in heating
capacity. Reduced to a coal basis, the
daily output Of gas here is equivalent
to $4,000 tons Of coal or 1000 carloads
at twenty-five tons to the car. And
the field Is not covered with wells,
either. Only a good start has been
made. What the future will be is
merely a matter Of conjecture. Gas
men say this is the richest gas dis
trict in the world; that the supply Is
good for at least twenty years. and
that this whole basin will be teeming
with industries within the next five
years.

OLD RATES STAND.
Kansas cattlemen Win Their Fight
With Railroads.

l l.
Kansas cattlemen Win Their Fight
With Railroads.
ENTHUSIASTICALLY The cattle rate
hearing which has been In progress be-
fore the state board Of railway commits
sioners here this week, came to a sud
den termination Thursday morning
when the railroad attorneys asked that
the case be dismissed without q decis-
lon, 1t was the biggest victory the cat
tlemen Of Kansas have won over the
.iilroads in recent years. The rail-
rolds had announced their Intention
of putting into effect a rate on live
stock which would amount to 0 Id
per cent increase over the present
rates. 1t was announced that this rate
would become effective September D.
The cattlemen complained to the board
Of railway commissioners and the case
was set for hearing Thursday.
Eve feel that this rate should not be
imposed on the Kansas cattlemen at
this time" said M. A. Low, of the Rock
Island, in announcing the decision Of
the attorneys to drop the case. I'VE
feel that the rate on cattle from Kan
sas to Kansas City markets Is too low
and IL much lower than on similar
classes of freight in other states. The
service on the railroads, which has
been complained of by the cattle ship
pers, is not what 1t was before the re-
cent floods, and Is not as good as the
railroads would like to make 1t. We
understand from the testimony Of the
cattlemen that they are losing money
this year on their stock. This prob
ably Is because they paid too much for
their feeding stock last year. We
have nothing to do with that, but we
feel that the increased rate should not
be put into effect at this time, and,
therefore, ask that the case be dis
missed. However, we reserve the right
to institute the rate at a later time,
after the required sixty days notice.
The only testimony introduced by
the railroads was a single chedule pre-
sented by H. H. Embry, general freight
agent Of the Rock Island lines west OF
the Missouri river This schedule was
to prove that the cattle rates in KAN
sas are lower than those In other
states.
Not only will the old rates on cat
lie be continued, but on hogs and
,ther classes Of live stock as well.
The new tariff proposed an advance
IN nearly all kinds Of live stock.
The cattle shippers placed only two
witnesses on the stand. The first was
1eorge Donaldson, Of Marion, one OF
he big slippers Of that part Of the
tate. The other was M. G.. Campbell,
Il Wichita chairman Of the state live
took sanitary commission, and a
leavy cattle shipper, Donaldson testi-
led that his freight charges have been
during the past five or six
ears, and Campbell testified that tine
roposed tariff would make his freight !
stes from 81 to $40 a car higher than
hey were under the old carload rates.
B. P. Waggener then asked for a
rief recess to allow the railroad men
0 confer. They were out about fifteen ,
linutes. When they came back, M. A,
,ow put Mr.. Embry on the stand to
ltroduce the schedule comparing
.ansas cattle rates with those In 9TH
r states. This was to combat the '
,hedule which had been previously
