KANSAS TOPOGRAPHY
lola Quadrangle Has B e e n
Surveyed and Mapped.
OIL AND GAS LANDS
Country Is a Level Prairie and
Well Settled.

Washington, Feb. 22-The lola. Kansas
quadrangle has been surveyed and map
ped and the topographic sheet which is
rho resr,I, fthis work may now be had
for the sum of FIVE cents on application 10
the Director Of the United States Geo
logical Survey. Washington, u. T.
II i expected that this map will find a
ready sale among the people Interested
in the development of the oil and gas
lands of this district. Map In hand, pros
pectors may more clearly perceive the
relative advantage and probabilities OF
their respective claims and more easily
walk or drive from point to point This
sheet will be especially interesting when
taken in conjunction with the report on
the oil and gas fields of the lola quad
rangle which DR.. George l. Adams. as
sistant geoIogist of the Survey, expects to
bring out in the spring.
The topographic features of the map are
neither many nor striking. The country
is a level prairie. and well-settled, judg-
ing from the number of farm houses and
towns shown on the map. The Neosho
river. which traverses the quadrangle
from north TO south. is the only con-
spicuos natural feature. 1t is the most
important economic feature as well, for
along this river bottom the main de-
posits of oil and gas have thus far been
found
The most importan towns of the quad
rangle are lola, Chanute, Humboldt, and
La Harpe, which lie In the western and
more productive portion of the on-gas
field. Bronson, Moran. Elsmore, and Sa-
vonburg are in the eastern border of the
field. Erie ST. Paul and Walnut are
other towns on the sheet.
The works of man rather than those of
nature are the prominent features OF
the map. The quadrangle is well sup
piled with avenues of communication.
The Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
way and the Missouri. Kansas and Texas
traverse the quadrangle from north TO
south and both have branches cutting it
east and west. More characteristic than
the railroads, however, are the country
roads The whole district is cut by roads
into squares like those on a checker
board. Smooth. hard. straight, even
reads they are, that would not betray
a blind beggar who had set forth with
no other guide than his own trusty nose
and feeling somewhere in his anatomy
for the points Of the compass. Who shall
say that the stalwart individuality. the
alertness and directness of the Kansas
farmer may not be, in some measure. the
result of his fine roads? Independent he
is as any countryman may be, but isolated

UNIFORM WATER LAWS.
Governor of Oregon Has Appointed
Commission on That Subject

Washington Feb. 22.-An interesting in
stance of the way in which the operations
of the Reclamation Service may assist in
securing uniform state laws in contained
in the fact that Governor George Z
Chamberlain. OF Oregon. has recently APP
pointed d commission to draft bin which
will modify the existing water laws of
that state in such a way as TO make them
harmonic with the provisions of the Re
clamation Act
Need for similar revision Of water laws
is felt In other states and il is hoped
that Oregon's example will be followed in
all the states affected by the Rcclsma
ton Act. That such revision would sim
plfy the problems Of the Reclamation
Service is a fact Accounted by an opin-
ion recently delivered by Mi Fred Camp
bell. Assistant Attorney General. con-
cerping the legality Of withdrawing pub
lie lands from settlement.
The Director oI the United States Geo
logical Survey had recommended that all
lands within half a mile on each side Of
the center lire Of Salmon river. Okano-
gan county Washington. together with
the water flowing on them. be withdrawn
from further disposition. as they are re-
quired for engineering works contemplat-

REVOLT AMONG TROOPS.
Additional Details of the Revolution
airy DEVELOPMENTS.

London. Feb. 22.-Correspondents of the
London press furnish some additional de
tails of the recent revolutionary develop
ments among Russian trops in the garri-
son of Sevastapol. which resulted. as al
ready reported, in many arrests including
that of one Kantorovich. hospital prac
titioner. 1t seems that for several months
strangers. among them a woman had
been visiting the camp and disseminating
revolutionary doctrines. Kantorovich. who
is a Social Democrat. during the summer
often met the soldiers in the open field
and visited their quarters. In November
several infantrymen reported to their OFF,
GERS that they had been induced to attend
private gatherings in which civilian
took part They pointed out the civilian
in the street He was arrested, and
proved to be a member of the Socialist
revolutionary party named Grigoryevich.
A sailor who had brought him to the
meetings succeeded in making his es-
cape, one of the sentiuels permitting him
to pass and wishing him a pleasant jour
ney Soon afterwards 1t was discovered
that sailors doing sanitary duty and
members of the crew of the man-of-war
Potemkin were in the habit of reading
revolutionary literature. and thirty or
forty of the men of the Potemkin were
arrested. 4 good deal of excitement was
caused at headquarters by these discover
les. An inquiry was held. and officers
were asked how they explained the sue
cess of revolutionary propaganda among
the soldiers. One result of the inquiry
was an order requiring officers TO remain

ANOTHER NICKEL RAISE
Hogs Yesterday Were Quoted
Steady to 5 Higher
TOP PRICE WAS S5.25
Cattle Receipts Were Medium
and Market Unchanged

The hog market was flush yesterday
from early morning till late at night.
There was a constant incoming Of stock
both BY car load lots and wagon loads
Nearly all of the car load hogs brought
above $500 and one bunch Melted the neat
figure Of s5.25. According TO dispatches
hogs were 10 10 - cents higher in Chi
cago. strong to ; cents higher in St. Joe
and ) to 10 cents higher in Kansas City
Ali dav yesterday the Wichita market
was steady 10 cents higher, greater
portion of the receipts bringing Satur-
days prices.
There was also a goodly number Of
cattle on the market which commanded
excellent prices Stocl1men have at the
yards a large bunch of stockers and feed
ers. about 800 or more, which they wish
to dispose OF. Country buyers who are
looking for stock OF this kind would, no
doubt. do well TO select from this bunch
as they are now going at reasonable
figures. Until some Of these cattle are
sold the market viii be amply supplied
and not many could be sold Tor shippers
But the prices are fair for anything in
Che cattle line.
The market closed steady, and a late
dispatch from Kansas City says that the
market there closed strong. The indica-
lions are promising for the hog market.

is said in reliable quarter that this eX-
PLANTATION was thoroughly satisfactory to
