eastern oil town during a boom.
When It rains lam told that the
roads turn to paste and and almost
impossible. There Is no trouble to
get oil well supplies. The Nation.
|allSupply Company and the Oil
Well Supply Company follow the
lead of the wiidcatters and where
ever a pool of any size Is opened
they open store and are ready for
business. 1t Is difficult to get ho-
tel accommodations In any of the
towns In the field so great IS the
rush of oil men, spectators and
sightseers. Independence Is the
hub of the field at present ard the
headquarters for oil men. 1t Is o
handsome town and has about 10, /.
600 population. Many oil men from
the east like the place so well that
they will locate there permanently.
Indications point to the fact that
the opening Of the field will be slow.
1t Is too hot for two months In sum.
mer to handle pipe and In rainy
weather the roads are impossible.
There Is much testing to be done
vet to find the limits of the field.
There Is plenty of work for all, but
the biggest demand seems to be tor
tool dressers who goes from the
east to the new field wants to be a
driller and that makes the supply
of tool dressers shy. Drillers get
from S. to IS day and tool dres-
sels 81 a day. Teams get So day
and common labor from 81 to
81 50 Living Is higher than In
the east and 1t Is question wheth-
er q man who has steady work here
would be justified In lacking his
job for one In the western field.
"A trip to the new oil field IS
worth the time and cost to any man
who Is interested In the oil business
and especially to those who have
never been on the firing line In q
new oil rush. The fare first class
from Bolivar to Independence Is an
even $50. I went over the Rrie to
Chicago and from Chicago over the
Santa Fe. The connections this
way are good. The distance Is a
little over 1900 miles. l left Olean

Independence at 400 next after

A Miraculous Cure.

My daughter was afflicted with a

year, helpless In bed three or tour
months, and the doctors wished me
to take her to a hospital. A mum

the sore, showing the bone to be
badly effected and 1t was thought
thst the leg would have tobe opened
and the bone scraped or the leg
amputated. Hearing of the cures
of San ura Ointment, we applied
1t as directed and to the great sur

purpose. Nearly all the Republican
members of tie senate favor retaining

many senators do not wish 70 so on

EXPENSIVE LUXURIES|
The Handsome and Fast Modern Trains
of the Cotton Belt.

Everybody likes 10 ride on last
train. Persons who have more time
than anything else are as insistent
on speed when travelling as the bnsl-
est Chicago drummer, whose time
is about the most valuable thing on
earth-in his estimation.
To meet the demand for fast tray
cling. railway managers are put to
enormous expense in providing sulta-
bic equipment, motive power and a
track that will stand the strain and
pounding of fast running trains.
The recent establishment of the
fastest train between ST. Louis and
iIonston by the ST. Louis Southwest
ON Railway. or Cotton Belt Route,
STYLED The Texas Train. is a good
case in point.
For more Than two years the com
}any has been preparing for such Il
service Grades have been reduced
TO an average of twenty seven feet to
the mile. a lower average grade than
any line running 10 the Southwest.
Curves have been len@thened new
heavy rails laid bridges renewed or
strengthened and track ballasted

was the foundation. and it was well
