Hello Council

We would most respectfully call
your attention to the fact that the
wise man locks the stable before the
horse ia stolen.
Gas land is becoming scarcer every
day. Tie demand is increasing and
the price advancing The gas propo-
sitlon west of the city that you turned
down was taken up by the gas pipers
at price greater than it was offered
to you.
1t now seems sure we will have sew.
eral glass plants by fall, and a whole
flock of refnerles.
They will all expect you to do some
thing for them in the line of cheap
gas. You have plenty of gas now but
how long will you have unless mere
territory is secured before this extra
drain comes on your resources?
You will surely need the gas some of
these days, Why not buy it now while
it is cheap?

The long lost and neglected body
of John Paul Jones seems to have
been discovered at last, through the
persistent efforts of EN- bassador Por-

about the identity of the body. 1t
has been inferred more than hun
dred years. The body was buried
In lead coffin and is in a remarka
bly, good condition.

Library

The library lot has been selected
and purchased and the Association
new holds deed TO one Of the pretti.
est sites in the city and very centrally
located. It is the beautiful corner Of
1,t and South Lincoln, now occupied
by the ine home Of DR.. Light. II is
an ideal place and efforts will be made
to have the building we'll towards
completion before cold weather sets
in. Carnegie gives SIS, 900 to erect the
buiIding. This amount Of money will
erect very nice little library build

be proud.

RoIla WRIGHT Dead

Last Friday morning the emily SOL
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Wright, Rolla,
passed over. He had been sick for a
good while with consumption and his
death came not unexpectedly. Every
thing that could be done to cure him
or prolong his life was done by his
parents. He was sent to Oklahoma,
and Colorado and finally to New Mex
leo, but there seemed no relief from
the fatal grasp the disease had taken
on him.
He was stricken with death while at
the breakfast table about O'Clock,
Friday moraing, and in a few min ties
all was over. He had fought the dis
ease with will and determination
seldom witnessed even IN an older
person. He had refused to give up
and kept on his feet TO the very last.
Rolla was good aud we'll liked young
man, not quite 20 years old. He was
genial and pleasant with everybody
and had many friends. Funeral. ser
vices were held at the home on South
Central, Sunday morning at 10 o'clock,
Rev. Mathis, officiating. A very large
crowd Of sympathetic friends assem-
blsd to pay their last respects and fol
lowed the remains to the last resting
place in Elmweod cemetery. The par
ents and sister have the sympathy of
the whole community.
Mr. md Mrs. Wright have lived

lty n many years and are well and
fayorably known.
This is the third child they have
buried 10 the last few years from the
ravages Of this dread disease. Though
their children are gone from sight,
they feel that they have simply pre-
ceded them but few years and in the
hereafter they will meet again ia a
better and brighter land.

WHO'S RESPONSIBLE

There Is deal OF rear about the
great mistake that was made on the
grade on West Main.
1t Is very apparent that serious
blunder was made. Who made it,?
Was it one OF those unaccountable
mistakes that bright men some times
make, or absolute incompeteDcy, or
willful criminality?
Is there not some member Of the
old councll or some member OF the en-
gineering force that can throw some
light on this proposition?
We would like to know the straight
Of the matter. 1t is likely to cost the
city several thousand dollars to recti
fy the error.
We have heard ugly rumors.
Where were the watchful Jim Orr
and honest John Gray while this
thing was being done?
Who WAS benefited by this change
Of grade?
Can't there be an explanation furn-
isbed?
We suggest that Mr.. Park of the
Second Ward interest himself in find
ing out why the city must be put to
this great, extra expense.
Possibly some private lot owner
may have been interested in a change
of grade.
1t can not be possible that our CITY
engineer can not run level. Does
that great depression in the grade
SUIT our friends on the west side?
Why do they not kick?

A HEALTHY SMILE!
CHANUTE WHRED UP.-NO
FOOLlNG THIS T'lME.

The nitted brows and long faces
of Chanute business men have given
place to broad smiles and good
feeling. The commercial club and
the city council have got busy at
last and results are assured.
The Coenen Bros. of Pa, ex-
perienced glass men and shrewd
business men besides, have signed
contracts with the city and COM
mercial club 10 erect big plant
here. The plant will employ I25
men at the start and more will be
employed as fast as they can be
secured. The plant will be located
near the south end of Evergreen
avenue and will be up-to date in
every particular.
Mr.. A. ]. Coenen is in the city
and expects to arrange for the foun-
dations before he returns east.
Work will begin promptly and be
pushed to rapid completion. The
contract requires the factory to be
running by October Ist. One hun
dred men will be brought In, most
of them men of families.
A large amount of work will be
necessary in the construction of this
plant which will give employment
to labor. Work on the 500 barrel
oil refinery located just east of the
cemetery will begin at once. The
money is all ready, the site bought
and the work is to be begun just as
soon as material can be got on the
ground.
The Chicago syndicate that oper-
ates the lease on the South Brick
plant site, managed by MIR. w. H.,
Powell, has the money raised for its
refinery and is now negotiating for
a site.
Mr.. Rawlings is promoting com
pany to erect a refinery to handle
the oil of the Ventura Co. and that
of some adjoining holdings. Mr..
Rawlings is great pusher and has
met with great success from the
start. He will succeed in financing
and locating refinery.
DR.. o. S. Johnson has been
quietly at work on refinery project
to be located near Chanute and now
reports that the matter is an asured
success.
With the glass plant and four re-
fineries in process of erection our
laborers should be fully employed
till late in the fall. With all of
them in operation many laborers
will find steady work at good wages.
When these refneries begin to ap-
proach completion there will be a
great demand for drillers and team

sters and i. surely looks like the
depression caused by the Standard
in cutting us off will be dissipated
and business Of all kinds will move
up.
Though the conditions, as com
pared with last year, have been
oppressive for some months, a
hopeful and better feeling now pre-
walls and everybody has gone to
work with light heart.

The Japs seem to be steadily driv-

WHY NOT

Amidst all the hustline that is
being done in Chanute, just now to
land new enterprises, may it not be
that we are forgetting the loyal home
support that is due some of those
established? We would call
special attention to one enterprise
that was established west of the city
on the Santa Fe track. We refer to
the Chanute Lime Co.
This company was organized and
by Chanute men and is
owned and operated by Chanute
men and by men who are among the
liberal givers for everything that
comes along that is likely to help
Chanute. They are making fine
grade of lime that is said to be ex
celled by none for brick or stone
work of any kind. These men put
in their plant and started the bust
ness without asking for any con-
slderatlcn from the city and now
have an investment of near $50, 900
and a weekly pay roll of near $500
10 Chanute laborers, yet Chanute
architects and builders seem to for
get some times that this home pro
duct can be used instead of a for
eign product. Why is this3 A
hundred barrels of Chanute lime
used here means that the value of
it is paid out to home men and the
proceeds kept here to enable our
laborers to buy the necessities of
life from our merchants and the
money is kept in home circulation
for the benefit of all Chanute, while
the money paid for the foreign pro
duct is sent away to benefit some
other town instead of our own.
EveY architect in drawing spe
cihcations for Chanute building
should specify Chanute lime. Every
mechanic should demand Chanute
lime. The men that own and oper.
ate this plant are donating theil
money freely to encourage enter
pnses here that will give the me
chanics and laborers employment
The men who handle lime in thi
city should make it point to pusi
the Chanute product. 1t is no
patriotic or loyal to Chanute anc
home to sell a barrel of the out
side stuff where the home produc
can be used. We hope a genera
move will be made among mechan
les and builders to boom Chanut'
lime. 1t is as good as the bes
and should be pushed to the front
Again, we have a first class -four
Ing mill here that turns out as fine
flour as is made in the state anc
much better than many of the
brands ON the market. Dc the
mechanics, laborers, business an
professional men of the city when
the good wife notifies them that the
flour bin is empty repleniSh it with
Chanute -four? If not, why not?
Do the merchants of the city who
rely on the people of the city and
surrounding territory for their living
and their profits push the home
product to the front at all times and
under all circumstances? If not,
why not?
The Chanute mill is supporting
five or six families and furnishing a
market for all the wheat that is near
and much more, besides great
deal of corn. 1t is one of our home
institutions and part of US. 1t is
owned and managed by as pleasant,
genial and reliable men as the city
affords. Are you doing your plain
duty by it2 If not, why not?

o.clock the traditional banquet was
eerved. about 400 participating. The
banouet was followed~by the. business
meeting, and the matter which was
taken up and passed is of vital impor-
lance to the Shriners of the State. Ii
