order cuts out over one-half of the
oil produced in the state and leaves
it without a market. There is big
money in every barrel of it, and it
can be bought at a reasonable price.
The Uncle Sam company could five
fold its money in the next three years
by building large storage tanks at
different points in the oil fields and
buying and storing this oil. This
company is rapidly crowding ahead.
Big results can be expected. The man
who is wise enough to put from $40
to $4,000 in the Uncle Sam stock will
find himself possessor of valuable
property before the year 1905 is end
ed. Come down to Cherryvale; go
out where the workmen are putting
up the buildings and look over the
holdings of this company, and you
will soon realize that the Uncle Sam
company is going into business to
stay. This company will not only buy
oil from other producers, but will own
and operate its own wells. From
thousand feet under the ground it will
take the oil through its different
stages until it is burning in your
lamp. The capacity of the refinery
can be increased from time to time
and without a shutdown this company
can, by good management, Increase

Bulls in One Sunday Session.

Parrao was forced to kill five bulls
out of the seven slain in yesterdays
corrida. because Antonio Monies and
''Fa1eo," matadors alternative, were
each wounded in the sword hand In kill
ing their first bull. Monies received
the more severe wound, the flesh be-

split by the sword hilt when he made
his first thrust. 'fFalco" escaped with
a sprain, but neither of the matadors
was able after that to handle the es-

The fight was exceptionally good from
every viewpoint, and Parrao covered
himself with glory by dispatching every
one of his bulls. with one exception. by
a single neat stroke. Six bulls had been
advertised, but seven were killed, the
last being a present from Monies,
whose beneht performance it was.
OF the bulls the first three let into the

notified to be ready and the plans for
the invasion were complete. OF
course all these preparations were
conducted with the utmost secrecy.
Those of us who were not directly in

general way that trouble was brew

would be done, nor where or when the
blow would be struck.

Oil Properties Enough Now Owned
and Controlled by the Uncle Sam
Refinery to Furnish 1t for Fifty
Years.

Tt would be just like building a
first class battleship and putting it
in the middle of the Sahara desert as
to build a refinery in southern Kan
sas, or anywhere else, without sure
production and proved oil lands to
back it up. Practical men are at the
head of the Uncle Sam refinery-men
who succeed They are looking ahead
for breakers-they know they have
the strong arm of the state for pro-
lection. and they know they have in
Kansas alone an everlasting market for
all the oil they can refine, and they
have now, as before stated, secured
enough oil rights to insure them oil
for the next half century. Now. if you
want to join a company that is play
ing safe-one that will protect your
interest, buy some of this stock be-
fore others secure what you want. It
is only few minutes ride out to the
properties from Cherryvale. Come

One of the Greatest Oil Pools in
Montgomery County Went Into the
Control of the Uncle sam Company
at Midnight Saturday.

Late Saturday night one of the most
important property transactions ever
consummated in the oil fields in south
ern Kansas was closed, whereby the
Uncle sam company secures control of
AS acres Of proved oil lands with
fourteen oilers and one fifty well
pumping plant. One of these wells is
great gas well. in addition to the oil
and in this field valuable gas and oil
land is one Of the surest and best gas
fields in the state. There is room on
this property for over 40 more wells,
and this land adjoins the refinery site,
and the oil will be handy to market,
and in addition thereto two miles of val
table water rights are secured also
The importance of this transaction TO
the Uncle Sam company can hardly be
told on paper: it has to be seen to be
APPRECIATED. There are two great oil
pools. near Cherryvale-one is in La
bette county just across the line, where
the Publishers company now has for
ty-eight producing wells and two pump
ing plants, the other is the one known
as the Veeders pool just west of Cher
rvvale on Drum creek. The managers
of the Uncle Sam company have held an
option on this property for some time
and had it in view when they located
the refinery where they did. This land
lies to the south of all the wells on the
west side and the land dips towards the
south or, in other words, is down the
creek. other oil men have tried time
and again to secure this field, but the
men who had proved it and drilled the
fourteen wells wanted to be sure OF a
market for the oil, SO they Joined the
Uncle Sam company There is no doubt
but what this tract is the center of the
west side pool. as the wells on the
north and west are light and continue
to increase in production as they go
down the creek towards the Veeders
land, and one well on this Veeders tract
is a real gusher and will throw oil 800
feet in the air today when turned on,
and there is room for fifty more right
in the same bottom, while the Uncle
Sam company controls the lands for
nearly a mile on all sides. If you think
the Uncle Sam company is not getting
there with both feet just come down
and so over the property. On this land
is enough water to supply dozen re-
fneries.
