STANDARD RUSHING WORK.


Chanute, Kan, July Sit has not
been ofiicially announced but there
is a WE'LL defined ruInor to the eject
that the Prairie Oil company Will in
crease the storage capacity in Kansas
and Indian Territory field beyond the
expectations Of any Of the producers.
This belief receives further impetus
from the fact that renewal of work at
all tank farms In the past week or two
has been on a much larger scale than
anticipated and the progress unusual.
Throughout the fields last week there
were seven tanks completed adding
thereby tankage for quarter million
barrels of oil at the tank farm In the
Humboldt district which suffered most
by the curtailment order Of last spring.
There are so men at work and while
one gang is finishing tanks commenc-
ing this week on the eighteenth an
other gang is building power house
and installing additional machinery.
This week the monstrous triple expan-
sion engine which took seven cars to
haul here was placed on its foundation
and the elecric light department Of
the plant started The Humboldt field
being principal heavy oil district suffer-
ed greatly by loss Of market in past six
months and many companies were I'M
able to weather the storm. Sheriff
sales have been no uncommon thing
and many choice properties have gone
under the hammer. This week two
sheriff sales have been held one Of the
Ohio and Kansas company which went
to Mortgage and less than $1,000 and
the Big Creek company whose property
went to satisfy the drilling contractor.
The Owl Creek company has relaid
lateral lines and will commence pump
ing again this week the first time in
three months over one half Of their
oil will be disposed Of to Wichita
parties.

REMARKABLY SMART COWS
Former Circus Man Has Trained Hia
Cattle to Run . Ferry
Boat.

It Is an interesting sight to watch the
performances Of the trained cows ON
the farm of Herried Watcher, Of Plat
ton township, in this county, says
lie Sueur (Minn,) correspondence OF the
Chicago Chronicle. Mr.. Watcher used
to be an animal trainer with p. 7.
Barnum, and when he quit that bust
ness he bought farm in this county
and he has lived on 1t ever since. He
took with him into private life many OF
the ideas with which he used to charm
the spectators when he was one OF the
chief stays and supports of the great
Snowman and ands use for bis skill In
getting his COW across narrow lake
that separates his pasture from the rest
of the farm.
The lake at the place where the cattle
have to cross Is about so feet wide and
is deep. Mr.. Watcher strung wire
rope and fastened to It by pulleys q
small ferry-boat about large enough to
carry two cows. Then he trained the
COWS TO ferry themselves over as fol-
lows:
One after another they run down a
slight incline and jump upon the boat,
stopping suddenly when they alight
The force Of the jump sends the boat
flying across the lake, and when 1t has
reached the opposite side the COW Jumps
on shore as hard as she can, and the
force OF the jump kicks the boat back
to the other side again, where the other
cows, one BY one, repeat the process
until all have crossed. The last COW,
however, walks slowly and carefully
ashore, 30 a. to have the boat ready for
the trip when the herd wants to return.
The calves do not have TO be taught
now. They inherit the talent, but cross
with their mothers until they are two
years old, each running side by side with |
the mother, both jumping at the same |
time.

Choicest Pottery.

Many Of the best bits Of pottery in the
world are in the hands Of public insti-
buttons, such as the South Kensington
museum, in England; the Louvre, In
France. and the Metropolitan museum,
in America. The Rothschilds have also
been holders for long time. Very few
of these pieces, however, are likely to
tempt buyers, because Of prohibitive
price and because they do not make the
same appeal to the general modern taste
as some Of the superbly painted products
Of Sevres and Of Dresden.
