Washington, March 4.-The most bril-
liant and imposing Inauguration which
the citizens of washington have ever
prepared has passed into the history IF
the republic. Theodore Roosevelt Aid
not ride to the capitol, hitch his
horse to a shade tree, enter the build
ing and take the oath of office booted
and spurred. The traditional Jefferson
ian simplicity was replaced by pa
geant which has not been surpassed
ir the annals of the nation.
For week the District of Columbia
has been the host of the Union. Term
after presidential term without regard
to party all united with enthusiasm
with preparing an inauguration that
shall fittingly show forth the national
respect for the executive office For
the unparalleled demonstration OF to-
dav the soil credit is due to these citi-
zens, the officials of the war and navy
departments, and the officers of the
army and navy.
An Inauguration Without Rival
1t is mistaken idea that Congress aas
much to do with the wonderful displays
with which the District of Columbia
welcomes each successive President, be
he Democratic or Republican. The cit
izens provide and do all their work
With today's demonstration it had less

the citizens had a greater task than
ever. But all obstacles were overcome
under the unrivalled managemec. of
General John M. Wilson of the army,
chairman of the inaugural comilittee.
He was ably assisted by his vice chair
man, George Truesdell and Commission
er West, and the inaugural committee
OF 75 citizens, by Lieutenant General
Chaffee at the head of it's military af-
fairs, and C. C. Glover, responsible for
its finances. These perfected and car
ried through an inauguration which
for variety of detail, completeness of
every part, and splendor of the whole
stands without rival among it's nocah!e
predecessors.

Financial Condition of the
Company.

Authorized capitalization, TEN
MILLION dollars. Par value of stock
one dollar Fer share. Every share of
stock draws as much dividend as any
other share. Sixty-one per cent. of
this stock is now sold or contracted
for. There are three million nine hum
dred thousand shares of stock yet re-
manning in the treasury. This stock
will be sold from II to 80 cents per
share and the proceeds put into addi-
tionaI oil lands and development OF
lands we now have and the compile
ton of a pipe line to navigable waters
and two more refineries, one in Okla-
homa an done on the banks of the
Missouri river where with our own
steam Darges we can by water market
the output of refined oils free from
any railroad rebates, or, in other
words, be absolutely independent.
There are now on the books of the
company in gilt-edge installment con-
tracts over ONE HUNDRED AND
THIRTY-FIvE (s135,ooo) THOU
SAND dollars. This money is being
paid in at the rate of from nine to
fifteen hundred dollars per day and
will all be paid in during the next
five months. The company is paying
as it goes. Has thousands of dollars
daily from the sales of refined oil
from the Cherryvale refinery now in
full operation.

dividends in less than year. The
stock will be sold even though To-
peka and Shawnee county does not
take hold and secure a pipe line
backed with sufficient oil to pour q
steady stream of cheap fuel to the
city for the next hundred years
However, this is the only sure way for
Topeka to make certain of securing
this pipe line. This company needs
the help and good will of Topeka and
Topeka can use very profitably to
herself an abundance of fuel oil for
her manufactures. Now if you are
one of the men who want to do some
thing for your home city, buy one, five
or ten thousand shares of this stock
secure the profits of the great advance
in the price and be one of our band
for justice in the oil fields.
The Topeka state journal., 1905-08-09
Topeka May Never Have an
Opportunity to Secure a
Pipe Line as Easy and as
Profitable as She Can
This One.

1t takes hundreds of thousands of
dollars to build pipe lines and furnish
a steady flow of oil to supply such a
line when completed. The Uncle Sam
company has the oil, owns territory
enough to feed this line for hundred
years. With the Cherryvale refinery
and all our THIRTY THOUSAND
acres of oil lands and the large pro-
duction already and the four drills go
ing after more. With an organiza-
ton of men banded together making
an enterprise with few equals in the
United States, with pipe for nearly
half the pipe line now on the grounds
and selling stock in the company at
a price that is right and being the
only Independent pipe line that VIII
likely ever be built from the oil heios
that will run any where near Topeka.
Such condition certainly behooves the
citizens of Topeka to get busy quick
who want the advantage Tor theiT
manufactures of having a pipe nhe
tanning the great oil fields ano
capable of putting three thousand
barrels of oil per day in the city free
of any extra freight charges. You can
buy this stock now and secure this
pipe line for Topeka and wait year
and sell the stock for probably three
times what you pay now. 1t is rea-
sonabIe to believe that this stock with
the vast acreage of oil territory and
our great refinery completed and
with even one hundred more oil Weits
will sell in the open market for 90
cents per share. We can complete
300 wells per year.
The Topeka state journal., 1905-08-09
Now Storing Fuel Oil for
the Pipe Line.

The Uncle Sam company is now
storing fuel oil so as to have a big
supply on hand when the pipe line is
completed to a point where a market
for a large quantity can be had. There
is big money in fuel oil when you can
deliver it over your own transporta-
ton lines. Figure for yourself what it
will mean to the company to be able
to pump the oil free of any freights
right to the storage tanks at Topeka
Don't you see that the plans of this
company are practicable and that
grand success and great profits are
certain to every one who owns the
stock of the company, besides you will
now help your own city. Civic pride
should have some weight.

Drill No. 1 is at work in the big gas
field just lately discovered on part of
the Uncle Sam holdings last week
when a big gas well was completed.
This gas is valuable and can be sold
to the brick plants of Cherfyvale.
Three brick plants are within four
miles of this gas field. Drill No. is
at work in the North Peru field where
the company already has three pro-
ducing wells and over NINETEEN
THOUSAND acres of valuable oil and
gas holdings. Big producers can be
expected on these lands. Drill No. 8
is at work on the lands just south of
Bartlesville, right up against the
Usage mountain. There is $50 bar
rel gusher within three-quarters of a
mile of this location on the north and
two big wells a half mile on the south

Sam-Central property just north of

Have Oiled Streets and Stop
the High Priced Paving.

Many uses are being discovered for
oil. Oil roads have been found to be
practical and cheap. with this Uncle
Sam pipe line completed to Topeka
means that you will have this oil for
all such purposes at a low price, be-
cause Topeka will be able to seeurs
this oil at right price with this pipe
line. Pipe lines are the only prac~
tical way to ship oil. Tank cars are
uncertain, they may get sidetracked,
but it viii be different with a pipe
line. Big storage tanks can be built
at Topeka as cheap as in the oil fields
and for that matter if i've years fuel
consumption for Topeka was stored
in fave miles of the center of the city
1t would be that much better.

The Uncle Sam Oil company now

rights in over THIRTY (30,o00)
THOUSAND acres of oil and gas lands
in Labette, Montgomery, Elk and
Chautauqua counties in Kansas and
along the Usage line in the Cherokee
nation in the Indian Territory right
up against the big wells. All of these
lands are in what is correctly termed
the oil district. Several thousand
acres are already absolutely proved.
EIGHTY-FOUR (s4) producing oil

There is to be no state fair this year,
and the State Fair Board will expend
$4,000 in improving the grounds and
buildings Of that great state institu-
tion. The mortgage has been lifted,
the property is clear, and handsome
bunch of money is on hand for putting
the institution in frstclass shape. IL
is understood that some grading will
be done inside, and that the sewer will
be perfected in order to bring about
better sanitary conditions. Some new
buildings will be put up and all the
others will be improved, painted and a
general cleanup is on the program.
A Journal representative would like
to suggest few other things that
should be looked after, viz; The camp
grounds outside, as well as the groves
of shade trees on the inside. To start
with, the camp ground should be
cleaned up, every dirty old shack
should be torn down and all the others
should be painted, white washed, rem.
ovated and made respectable. Specific
rules should be adopted for the kind of
cottages to be built and the way they
are to be maintained. All the dead
trees and limbs in the camp grounds
should be removed. The bitches and
uneven places should be filed up and
graded. II necessary, the entire camp
grounds should be cultivated, graded
and seeded down. Such work could be
done this year, and good sod pro
duced before the ground would again
be used by the public. The fences
should be put in first.class order. Live
stock should be kept from running at
