The wants of population in
state which approaches the 100000
mark and which is constantly being
added to are almost unlimited The
state in course of years will support q
population three fold as great 1t is
then to be readily seen that the pros
poets are really in their infancy, and
even now they are glowing Neither
is the market restricted to Kansas.
though legislation may not be as pro-
tective of the Independent refiner as
its great overshadowing opponent in
surrounding states, the trend of
thought and feeling in the legislatures
in those states is of such an unmis-
taxable nature that it seems very
probable that legislation as favorable
as that enacted in Kansas will shortly
be brought about in those bodies as
well. Where it used to cost $7s to
ship a car of oil in Kansas it costs but
S27 now. hmm ediately upon the en-
actment of the favorable legislation
on the part of the Kansas body of law
makers activity which had lain dor
mant in the oil field awakened with
renewed activity. Prominent and
foremost came the announcements OF
the proposed esta blishment of a new
refinery on independent lines at Cher
ryvale. right in the heart of the
proven district in the best field IN
Kansas 1t is one OF the largest Dusl-
ness propositions which mas come to
the people In that part of the state
The company which grasped the situa-
ton so quickly and is beginning to
realize on that situation, is the Uncle
Sam Oil company. The largest indie
pendent refiners, in the course of a
year in the state of Kansas. Further
more the company has builded even
further it controls and owns 1870
acres of oil land rich in possibilities
and promise with a large number OF
producing wells already down and in
operation. If there was ever situa-
ton in which there was a possibility
of making profits it assuredly looks as
if the company in question pos
sessed it.
The company is capitalized at $1o.-
600 000 and the purpose is to build a re-
finery capable of refining 1000 barrels
of oil per day Construction work is al
ready under way and the buildings are
now being erected upon the conpanys
land at Cherryvale
The one unique feature which it is
worthy to mention is the ownership OF
its own producing wells by the COM
pany refining. thus eliminating the prof
it which goes to the outside operator
instead returning that additional profit
into the hands of the stockholders In
the refinery.
The backing of the company, substan-
tial and worthy in. every respect, IS re-
ceiving considerable encouragement IN
its sale of treasury stock, a limited
amount of which has been placed on
the market at from to 20 cents per
share with a par value Of 81

Tonight at the Y N. c. A. gymnasium
the girls basketball teams representing
Washburn and Baker will come togeth-
er for their second game. The first
game was won BY Washburn by a very
decisive score.
The Washburn girls have made this
proposition to the Washburn boys. they
agree to win the basketball game this
evening if the boys will win the base
ball game to be played at Baldwin next
Friday. The boys have entered into
contract to do this. so it may be ex-
pected that Washburn win win tonight
Next Friday Washburn ana Baker
will have a sort of a carnival or con-
tests at Baldwin. In the afternoon VIII
be the aforementioned baseball game;
in the evening, the schools viii meet in
debate
It viii be the first baseball game OF
the season for both teams. doc" Hill
will probably catch for Washburn, ow-
ing to the fact that John Dadisman IS
a member of the debating team. Griggs
will be in the box for Wasrburn- The
Washburn team is likely to put up
strong game
The various encounters between Ba-
ker and Washburn have served TO
arouse a large amount of excitement at
the college about the basketball game
tonight, and a big crowd will be on
hand to see the fun.

new OIL REFINERY.
Monster Institution Being Built at
Cherryvale-EHect of Good Law.

With the passage of favorable 1egis-
lafion by the legislature just ad-
iourned, legislation making pipe lines
within the state common carriers,
and the establishment of a maximum
freight rate under the new freight
bill, the establishment of independent
oil refineries within the borders of
the state should be an important and
profitable character of investment for
latent capital.
Barred out by excessive freight
rates and the existence of an agree
ment between the railroads of the
crowd out and smother competition
in the shipment of crude oil from
the wells to independent refineries, as
well as shipments of the commercial
product from the refinery to the con-
sumner, the capitalist has sought other
means of investment. With the ex-
ception of one small Independent re-
hnery, leading a rather vicarious life
the fields and markets of Kansas have
been free of competition for that
great rehner, the Standard Oil COM

REGISTERING SLOWLY.
Women Take Little Interest in City
Election.

The registration of the women voters
Is proving an elusive and despairing
proposition for the political managers.
The women of the city who have hither-
to taken a more or less active part in
city politics are sore. They are sore
because the last legislature failed to
pass the woman's suffrage bill. This
feeling came prominently to the surface
along early in the campaigning previ-
Gus to the Republican primary Politi-
cal managers of the Sterner sex were
expecting to see this feeling subside
and stink out of sight. But the feeling
remains. 1t is not gathering strength
but il is ofsufficient strength to keep the
women from taking upon themselves
the trouble of registering.
Two years ago the registration of the
women voters ran up to 7,165. this year
it viii do exceedingly well If it reaches
8 600. At the present time the regis
tration of the women voters is 1.253 and
strenuous measures are being adopted
to increase this amount by the mana
gers of the local Republican campaign.
The Democrats are not paying so much
attention. in fact they are rather trust
ing that a large women registration will
not take place for they have figured it
out on a slate with a bright new pencil
that a small registration Of the women
larger increase in their chances for car
rying their ticket or at least a portion
Of it.
The Democrats think that their plat
form appeals more strongly to the men,
they won't acknowledge this In a pub
lie way nor Will they give weighty
reason, simply put their finger up to
their eye and look wise.
On the whole the registration has
slumped badly 1t is now close to 5000
back of the final registration of two
years ago At that time it ran up to
1872 while It is now lowering about the
