LEASES RIGHT OF way.
b. p. Mcdonald, a katy Director
Gets Mineral Rights.

Parsons, Kan, Aug. ACCORDING
to information made public today
one of the most extensive mineral
leases, with which the Katy has had
to do, has, 1t is understood, been con-
summated between the Katy com
pany and B. P. Mcdonald of For
Scott. whereby the latter is to ac-
quire a mineral right to all land lying
within the boundaries of the Katy
right of way between Leroy on the
Neosho division and the Kansas line
one and one-half miles south OF
Chetopa.
B. P. Mcdonald is a stockh older
and director in that company, but &C
cording to the terms of the instru-
ment, he acts with absolute independ-
ence in the matter, paying the COM
pany royalty on all paying outputs.
When the value of this strip of land
deal is at once apparent.
Leroy is fifty-nine and two-tenthS
miles north of Parsons, while the Kan
sas line is 25 miles south. This would
make the length of Mr.. McDonald's
lease a little more than "a miles. Com
ing down from Leroy, the Neosho di-
vision penetrates some of the richest
and best paying oil lands in the west. In
that oil exists nearly the entire dis
lance of the lease.
1t is not known when Mr.. Mcdonald
will begin operations, in fact, it is said
the instrument or lease mas not been
filed yet in the various counties
which the strip runs, yet as
the Sun has its information from II e
highest source, there is no doubt but
the papers have been signed and for
reasons known only to the interested
parties, they have not been filel.
The amount of royalty Mr.. McDon-
aid is to allow the company, could not
be learned but is fair to presume that
it will be considerable amount, as he
nf lar II r.
Mr.. Mcdonald has the absolute assUr-
ance that he will strike both gas and
oil, especially in Allen county, where
his territory extends through the ia
nous Humboldt regions. The inevita-
BILE result will be riches for both Mr.
Mcdonald and the company.

THE GREATEST BREWERY.
Is Located i'm England and Conducted
on Mammoth Scale.

! 1t is undoubtedly true that one spe-
cial feature of the Midland railroad is
the creation of Burton-on-Trent, the
vast center of the English brewing
trade, now in many hands, but founded,
as it is continued today, by the great
firm of Bass. About 120 years ago
Messrs. Bass business was commenced
by the originator of the firnl-Mr. VIII
| liam Bass. In 20 years time, long be-
| fore railways were thought of, this bus
| mess amounted to about 1000 barrels
| per annum, half of which found it's way
| by canal to the ports and was shipped
chiefly to the Baltic ports. where it met
with a ready sale at nigh prices. The
business grew rapidly as the then
slow and cumbrous means of transport
would permit until the year 1889, when
it received it's first great impetus by
the opening of the Midland line. passing
from Derby through Burton, westward.
The great business of Messrs. Bass
alone, which was probably accommo-
dated on an acre of land at the COM
mencement, now comprises $50 acres of
premises.
The company has a network of II
miles of full-gauge railway and enl-
ploys IL locomotives. 1t has in constant
use 120 railway trucks for the trans
port of malt, coal, etc. over its private
lines, 1t receives on it's premises raw
material in the shape of barley and
malt to the extent of 400, 900 quarters.
the course of IL months Messrs. Bass &
Co. use upwards of 100000 railway com
panies' trucks in dispatching their beer
from Burton. To send out 5000 barrels
is, in the season, by no means an un-
usual days work, and they have loaded
as MANY as 666 trucks for one days
forwarding, the quantity dispatched on
that day being over $3.50 barrels. suffi-
cicnt to supply a glass apiece for ev-
cry householder in the United Kingdom,
and requiring probably 25 railway
trains for its conveyance.
The firm possesses a stock of over
400. 900 casks for its business, which does
not include the thousands made an
nually and used in the export trade that
never find their way back to the brew
cry. Messrs. Bass & Co.'S bill for rail
way freight represents about 100000
Isl, 500, 000) per annun.
The firm gives its employees yearly
trip to the various seaside towns, which
are by far the largest organized trips
of the kind in the world. The number
of persons who took part in one trip to
Blackpool was 10000, carried by II spe-
cial trains, which occupied the entire
line to the exclusion of all other traffic
during the time of their passage. A
peculiar feature of this trip is that ev-
cry employee received in addition to a
days wages a gratuity in accordance |
with his position, and return tickets for
himself and family, which admit free to
all the exhibitions and amusenents in |

THE COsT OF LIVING.
IFrom the Pittsburg Dispat

| lfrom the P1ttSDurg D1Spatch.I
Commissioners Carroll d. Wright S
eighteenth annual report of the bureau
of labor. revealing the average rise in
wages and corresponding increase in
expenses of living, must be the docu-
ment which Secretary Shaw heraIded in
his great speech on the blessings of
high prices. A perusal of Mr.. Wright's
figures must prove to any householder
that his idea that it costs more to live
than a few years ago is ha1Iucination.
By selecting the wages in SO occupa-
tions. the average increase since 1896 is
found to be 1876 per cent. The average
raise in the cost of living has been for
the same period 15.5 per cent. thus leav-
ing remainder of IL per cent for de-
posit. This percentage was obtained
by taking 1857 families having incomes
below $1,000 and consisting of SD per-
sons each. The average income was
1927, and expenditures for all purposes
s76S. Food cost was 1884 per cent, or
1926 per family. Each family consum
ed $40 pounds of fresh beef, costing $50
a year"
The proper commentator on these fig
ures would be Mr.. Shaw. Does he
think they justify a general demand
for an advance of wages? He would
ployers if he said SO. not mentioning
wage earners. Does he think high
prices leaving a margin year in and
year out of IL per cent are sufficient?
The figures furnish their own sugges-
lions. but perhaps he may have some
scintillant and novel ideas like some
others of his to announce.
At any rate it is evident that saga
cfous workers will scale their families
down to 5.31 persons Kill all over that
number. Work in the occupation that
pays 1927 a year. Buy $40 pounds of
beef for $50-if you can. Adjust all
items according to averages of other
families. automatically you cannot
escape saving as much as 100 per cent
in just one century. Try it and don't
get discouraged. But seriously, Mr..
Shaw ought to lock his figures in al
