boats and committed a design, some
months ago, for a new submarine boat
to the Germania works to execute. 1t
is a copy of this plan that is reported

Henry M. Steele, formerly chief of
police under the Leedy administration,
has announced himself for the Repub-
lican ticket from Theodore Roosevelt
down, with a few exceptions. Mr..
Steele has long been one of the rock
ribbed Democrats and PoDulists in
Shawnee county. He was one of the
few always ready to hold convention
in opposition to the Republicans. 1t
is somewhat of surprise to the Re-
publican managers that Steele is with

good terms with them. Certainly he
lost Northern Pacific, and the best
opinion is said he will never get it
back again. OF that, however, the
courts have something to say.
So the summer of 1902 only two Pa
cific routes were overwhelmingly
AtchiSon and Great Northern. The lat
ter was not for sale to him at any
price. The former was in the market
no man being able to say: Il am the
owner of Santa Fe.'' Out of the mar
ket it is nearly impossible to take it
without causing so great rise in the
price of the stock to make it not
worth while. Nevertheless, the English
pool, in cooperation with E. H. Harri-
man, has bought many millions of it,
and may truly be said to dominate the
road.
This is the situation today. Out of six
routes to the Pacific E. H. Hartman
can dictate the policy of four, and has
much to say in the fifth. The four are:
Southern Pacific main line via FL Paso,
Central Pacific via Ogden, Santa Fe via
Albuquerque, San Pedro (under con-
struction) via Calientes. The latter
road is being built nominally by Sena-
tor Clark, really for E. H. Hartman
is Northern Pacific. The, one really in
dependent road is Great Northern.
So Mr.. Hartman has planned to put
the great systems of the west at his
mercy He has raised up host of en-
emies. The Goulds are building West
ern Pacific. The Chicago. Milwaukee
& st. Paul has men from Omaha to
Seattle looking for rights of way. Rock
Island is waiting only until its day of
tribulation passes away-tne Colorado
strikes, the Iowa crop failures. the fall
ing earnings, the shaken credit. Then
this new system will also arise and seek
it's own line to the Pacific ports. Il is
not matter OF guess. The word OF its

GAS FOUND IN MISSISSIPPI.
Drilling for Oil Near Enterprise 10 DC
Pushe.d with vigor.

Memphis. Tenn, Nov. 6.-Accofdihs
to the ANALYSIS made by DR.. Logan,
geolosist at the Mississippi Mechanical
College, the gas discovered near Enter
prise. Clarke county. Miss. by pros
pectors who were boring for Oil, is a
very good quality of illuminating gas.
Ii is pronounced suitable for ordinary
commercial purposes, and the expert
goes step further and declares that
the soil strata of that section indicate
that oil will be found.
With remarkable persistency drilling
operations have been in progress
around Enterprise for more than d
year and several companies have been
formed to continue the work. The
Mississippi Crude Oil Company. organ
lied by r. l.. Wainwright. a prominent
cotton manufacturer. Colonel f. l..
Russell. vice president of the Mobile &
Ohio Railroad and others. is capital
lied at $4,000 and has already in
vested about $4,000 in machinery for
drilling purposes. The company has
leases on about 5000 acres of land and
will at once commence to sink series
of deep wells in the effort to find the
Oil vein from which the flow of gas
emanates.
