A new pool has been discovered
seven miles east of Cleveland, in

have a we'll on section 20 which shows

tapped and the driller shut down and
went to Cleveland to telegraph Mr.
Glenn for instructions, and when he
returned the rig was not there. In his
absence the we'll had flowed and the
oil had ignited from the boiler and
burned down the rig.
There are 1873 wells in the Paola

it is capable of producing a great

made provision for a tank car line to
take care of the 100 barrels a day

Gan Excess of Authority"

Washington, Dec. 16.-H. r. Fuller,
representing organizations of railway
trainmen, conductors and engineers,
has been heard before the house COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce in opposition to the bill author
izing the interstate commerce commits
sion to relieve narrow gauge railroads
from equipping locomotives with
drfving-wheel power brakes, although
the bill has been favorably reported
by the committee to the house. Mr..
Fuller said that a formal protest has
been filed with the interstate COM
merce commission by the organiza-
tons named against its action in
granting extensions of time in which
to equip engines, as an excess of au-
thority. He called attention to the
presidents last message to congress on
the subject of safety and said they
were now confronted with a bill which
would take. away measures of safety
already provided by the law.
Secretary Moseley of the interstate
commerce commission, replying to Mr..
Fuller denied that the commission had
acted without authority. Individually,
he said, he was opposed to the bill, as
he deemed the driving wheel power
brake essential to safety. The COM
mittee took no further action on the

Ottawa, Kan, Dec. 16.-Regardless
of cold weather the Santa Fe is vtgor-

Kansas. the "cut off" and the eastern
division of the main line. Heavier
rails are being laid on all of these di-

taking the place of the light weight
steel on the Southern Kansas. which
change is to be general over the en-
tire line, at least as far as Wellington,
and on the Bartlesville branch. The
section between Ottawa and Chanute
will be completed as soon as possible.

LESSON IN BREAD MAKING.
How the Dagoes Who Are Working
for the Santa Fe Bake II.

1Or the santa re Bake II.
The Santa F7e is renewing it's tracks
in the yards at Arkansas City, Kan.
In doing SO they employ about forty
dagOeS, Greeks or some other ma
tionality who can not speak a word of
English. They are all under one
years of age, who speaks English and
four of five other languages. Owing
to the position he holds, this foreman
or interpreter draws a good salary.
The men under him get small wages,
but they appear to be perfectly con-
tented. They live in cars at the
yards ard do their own cooking. 1t
is quite a. curiosity to see these for
eigners baking bread Their bread is
made up yeast the same as the Ordi-
nary bakers bread. 1t is made into
loaves and placed on dressed boards.
The curious part of their bread ma k
inS. however, is in the baking. In the
yard they have dug n pit about three
or four feet deep. This pit varies in
size, but is always large enough to
take in several dozen loaves of bread.
1t is covered over with iron, excepting
a small space at one end, which has
steps leading to the mouth of the fur
mace and the bottom of the pit. The
railroad iron is then covered over
with dirt and is rounded off until if
resembles a small storm cave This
oven or furnace has no opening at the
back end for the smoke to escape. The
only place for the smoke to escape is
at the entrance. On bread baking
days some of the dagoes cut up a big
pile of kindling wood and fill the oven
with IT. Then they set it afire and let
It burn and keep putting in more until
the oven is as hot as it can be made
Then the fire is all raked out after
which the oven is swabbed out The
oven is tested then by throwing IN a
piece of paper. If it lights it is in the
proper condition The bread is then
paced on the oven floor and the en-
trance closed. In about thirty minutes

lem of Methodism in the Northwest.
No institution in the Northwest has

Rev. L. f. Rockwell, the new pres
siding elder of this district, was next
introduced. and in doing so President
Coleman referred to him as the faith
er of the grea' est quarterback in the
world, but that he was greater than
ais son. Dr. Rockwell said in part
that "O'd Willamette, the school of
the fathers, had had a great past, and
was sure to have a far more brilliant
future. Every institution has had its
beginning. What Harvard and Ya'e
have been and are to the Atlantic

Batty Cooper has raised this summer
quite a patch at the residence of j.

street, and the bolls are fully deyel
oped and almost ready to burst with
their snowy contents. Cotton raising
will probably never prove a great in

and very e,oquently, many times being
interrupted by applause. He said that
'it was an easy thing to talk to an au.
