Perhaps the most valuable piece Of oil
land in the United States Is section II,
township 26 north, range 20 east. The
oil and gas rights were granted through
the fundamentally Of Secretary Hitch
cock to the Cudahy packing house people,
who own also considerable part Of the
fee simple to the soil.
When the Cudahys developed their
holdings and discovered the enormous
wealth in oil and gas which lay below
the surface, they conceived the idea that
a big city near by would increase their
fortunes. SO they went into the TOWNSHIP
booming business. AS result the town
of Bartlesville grew Up and extended not
only over their section II, but also into
adjacent sections. Then came trouble for
the Cudahys. Their scheme, instead OF
giving them profit, has brought incalcula-
Bile loss. Bartlesgille organized itself into
a municipal government, and passed an
ordinance forbidding the drilling Of wells
or the carrying of nitro-glyceriIe within
certain Of its wards. These wards cover
some of the most valuable parts Of the
Cudahy holdings. Vast deposits Of wealth
lie under them, as is evidenced by the
great gushers belching forth gas and
spouting oil all around. But the ordi-
nance, rigidly enforced, stops every at-
tempt to get at these treasures

Had Seen Forty-two Revolutions.

Thirty years ago. when visiting Santo
Domingo in an official capacity. he was
taken in hand by a newly appoilted min
lister, who undertook to show him around.
Coming to the courtway Of a prominent
building, the guide pointed to q doorway
and remarked, as complacently as if he
were indicating the name OF street.;
"That is where our last Emperor was
shot"
In the course of his sojourn he came
upon an aged man, held In high esteem
by the community because he had been
witness of a quite exceptional number ut
revolutions and lived to tell the tale.
"How many have you seenT' tho Wis.,

"Forty-two," the patriarch modestiy
replied. :,

man had seen Louis XVI. and Marie
Antoinette carried to the guillotine. Nmi.

COD FISHING ON THE BANKS.
Large Fish Lie Deep Down in the Water
and Eat Anything.

1t had been surmised that the fishery
on the Newfoundland banks, which has
lust begun, would be unusually profit
able, because of the phenomenally high
price of cod liver oil last winter. But
the Norwegian season, which is earlier
than the ole here, must have been very
favorable as the market price of Oil
has run down until now it is quoted as
being only one-ffth higher than 1t was
this time last year. However, stocks Of
fish. are low the world over, and there
will be a larger fleet than ever off the
banks and at the old places along the
coast for the next month or two. The
great dealing and curing concerns are
all enlarging their ''fakes," or outdoor
drying scaffolds, to meet the increased
harvest which may reasonably be ex-
pected to be brought in by the large
number of boats fitted out this year.
Just now the fishing is exceptionally
laborious because of the great depth at
which the cod are found. The best fish
are found far down-great, large faxed,
thick feshed, small paunched fellows.
They are drown up by main strength,
but are usually dead, or nearly SO, by the
time they are hauled to the surface, ow-
iEg to the difference in the pressure Of
the water Their tremendous gills show
what prodigious quantities of water they
have to breathe out to obtain their air
supply at the great depth at which they
live. 1t is probable also that they de-
rive nourishment from minute marine or
ganisms they strain out of the water as
it pours through their gills.
Some of the men believe that these
great cod are of different variety from
the smaller ones commonly caught in
shallower water. They are not dainty
feeders by any means. On the smaller
boats the bait is not always very well
preserved, ends ;,s Of meat + CHOPPED PED dog
ends found in the pound nets. But the
big fellows take it all the same, and
when the location is well chosen come
up heaving and painting every time the
hook is thrown out Their omnivorous
voracity is almost incredible. Bits Of
leather, marlinspikes, iron bolts, a ball
of Irvine, leaden sounding plummets.
hoofs of deer are among the curious
things which dissection shows some Of
them have gathered in.-Montreal (Que-
bec) Gazette.

The age Of the tree is known to be at
least 221 years, from tales told by an
cestors of the proprietors of the property
on which the tree stands. No one ever
thought of cutting this giant down, ex-
cept in 1876, at the time of the centen-
NAL in Philadelphia, when the exposition
commission offered the proprietors 500

BY unanimous vote the national
committee seated the Republican dele
gates from Wisconsin, Senators Spooner
and Quarles, Representative Babcocl1 and
Emil Baensch This action was taken
after thorough presentation of the case
Of both sides, lasting six hours.
The whole case rested upon the regu-
larity of the credentials of the delegates
chosen at the caucuses in Wisconsin.
The La Toilette men made the condition
that credentials of delegates should be
signed by the chairman and secretary of
each county committee. The regular
Republicans had majority of such ere
dentialed delegates and were entitled to
organize the convention and decide the
contested cases. Also the La Toilette
men, pursuing party course, called con-
gressional district caucuses to choose
party and convention officers, and then
refused TO attend those meetings. BY
these acts they put themselves outside
the pale of Republican regularity.
The matter then went to the commit
tee on credentials. It was given out pre-
vious to the meeting of the committee
OIL credentials that Messrs. La Toilette,
Cheynoweth and others would appear
and continue the defense of their cause,
but instead of so doing their delegates
at-large-Messrs. Stephenson, La Fol-
lette, Stout and Connor-sent COM
munication to the committee saying that
"every member of said credentials com
mittee, as we are SO informed, has been
approached in advance of the hearing in
some manner, for the purpose of secur-
ing a determination of said contest III
favor of said contesting delegation"
This communication also gave notice
of the withdrawal of the La Toilette dele
gates from the contest.
Nevertheless the committee took up
the contest in all it's phases, and after
several hours of consideration unani-
mously seated the anti-La Toilette dele
gates at-large. A subcommittee, con-
sisting of Gov. Drrbin of Indiana, chair
mar; e. @. Benton, Massachusetts,, and
j. j. Gardner, New Jersey, spent several
hours investigating the evidence pre-
sented by both sides and also reported
unanimously in favor of the anti-La Fol-
lette delegates.
The committee on credentials reported
to the convention as follows:

a ton of tobacco leaf would vield fonr
hundredweight of ash, which represents
valuable mineral constituents withdrawn
from the soil which have to be replaced
by abundant manuring 1t has been cai-
culated that a ton of tobacco withdraws
over hundredweight OF mineral constitu-
ents per acre of land. In 1901 the home
consumption Of tobacco in the United
Kingdom was at the rate of two pounds
per head, or total Of about 10000 tons
which represents, at what is now prob
ably low computation, approximately
5000 tons Of ash annually committed to
the winds or dissipated in some other
way. On the face Of it there would
seem to be a fortune in store Cor that
individual who could devise a successful
means for the collection OF tobacco ash,
and it is great pity that so much yalu,
able material should forever be lost to
the soil without any attempt at direct
restoration being made.-Lancet
