no ADVERTISE SOUTHWEST.
Immigration Bureau Employees Five
Hundred Men.

That the southwest is to be more
thoroughly advertised during 1905 than
ever before is evidenced by the eStab-
nshlnent of an immigration publicity
bureau for the purpose Of attracting
both tourists and settlers to Texas New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Indian Territory,
Kansas and Arkansas This bureau is
managed by William r. Draper. for
merly publicity agent of the Frisco
system. The southwestern railroads
are interested in this new enterprise
financially and with their Endorsement
as to its ultimate great results.
The bureau is f-ar-reaching in it's
scope. Farm Life. published by Rand,
McNally & Co., the largest publishers
in the world, has been adopted as the
OFFICIAL organ and is being used in
conjunction with the immigration
bureaus of the various railroads to
reach the homeseekers likely to move
during the next year. In this magazine
hundreds of questions are answered
about various sections, opportunities
are described and newly opened lands
brought to the emit of persons
seeking new homes.
In addition, the bureau has enlisted
the services of 500 immigration agents
to work exclusively in h interest of
matter and talk up the good points of
the country These agents are mostly
farmers who are themselves interested
in moving to a new country.
The bureau is now organizing a mid
winter excursion to visit various points
in the southwest. including Texas, In
7ian Territory and New Mexico
Mr.. Draper has interested a number
of the largest northern and eastern
metropolitan in the immi-
grafton publicity bureau and his edi-
toria1 articles descriptive of the coun-
try will appear in these publications
during 1905. Recent articles have al
ready resulted in thousands of inquiries
to the bureau to describe the advan-
tages Of the coast country of Texas, the
Pecos valley of New Mexico and the
ST. Francis valley Of Arkansas.

BlakeIy had served in the regular
army, but had deserted while on fur
and claimed F.. W. Marshall had his
discharge papers, which proved to be
a f~alsehood. He told so many diff
ferent stories that no one knew what
to believe. so that the latest one, from
the agent of Cook county, Illinois,
will prove interesting, showing as it
does, az Scott wrote in "Marmion,"
What a tangled web we weave when
first we practice to deceive"
Mr. f. w Marshall, Local Agent. SIS
Shawnee street, Leavenworth, Kas.:
Dear Sir-Your name has been
handed to us by a man named Sandy
Blakely, "A years of age. who is blind.
He says you gave him transportation
from your city to Chicago. He claims
that he is an old soldier; has a rec
ord of five years in the regular army,
three years in the civil war; and that
on of a gunshOt wound which
destroyed the sight of the right eye he
has lost the use of the left also, and
is now totally blind.
He states he has q cattle range at
Deep Creek. near Spokane, Wash;
that he sold some cattle, raised the
amount of 5000, and went to San
Francisco to see if he could not get
treatment for his eyes He found
that nothing could be done for him;
says he went from there to Utah, and
from Utah to Leavenworth, Kas. His
purpose in going to L-eavenworth was
to file papers to obtain a pension, as
he was discharged there after the
close of the civil war. He further
states that his brand was the figure
80" on the left hip in his cattle bust
ness. He says he has a nephew
named William BIakely at Deep
Creek, who is in the cattle grazing
business also.
This man was taken in charge by
the police when he arrived here on
the 18th inst, and he rather inn
pressed them that he was insane or
demented. and was brought to us by
the police department We found
him suspicious. abusive and profane,
but finally obtained his confidence and
secured the facts as above stated He
claimed that he had been robbed by
the police of nearly 5000 which was
in his possession when he arrived in
Chicago. We sent him to the county
and instructed the doctor in
charge to make the closest investiga-
ton and report to us This he did,
and $3.50 in gold was found upon his
person.
VIII you please s~ubstantiate the
statements as they relate to you. your
city. and the pension department. and
give us such information as will enable
US to return this man to where he
legally belongs2 Yours truly.

County Agent.

NOW TAX REFINERY.
Firm Really Considering
Plant at Chanute.

49,
Plant at Chanute.
Chanute, Kan, Jan. 2S.=In Beau
mont. Texas. today a firm is consider
ing Chanute as the location of a big
Independent oil refinery. and within a
short time if the refining firm decides
to oppose the Standard in Kansas,
Chanute will be the hub of the indie
pendent refinery movement.
J. r. Timmons, of Beaumont, who
for thirty years has been fighting the
big oil combine. and especially in later
years the Standard Oil company, was
in Chanute this week quietly looking
over the Kansas field. He returned
yesterday to Beaumont and today,
with his business associates, he intends
to consider the ACCESSIBILITY. of entering
the Kansas field when the fight is
strongest against the Standard. To a
friend here in Chanute Mr.. Timmons
said that if his firm, of which lie is the
head, are in favor of putting in a re-
hnery in Kansas, that Chanute would
be the location. He considers that he
would receive better support here,
which is essential at first, and the
grade of oil and center of production
favor as a site.
MI. Timmons is at present at the
head of the management of a large in
dependent refinery at Beaumont. For
several years he has made a business
OF building refneries, getting them
we'll started and turning them over to
others. Every attempt at bueking the
Standard has been successful, not
withstanding freight rates and other
obstacles. He finds more profit in
beating the Standard than in straight
competition after the refinery is in
stalled. Three large refneries built at
Port Arthur for J. N. Guffey & Co.,
an associate of the well
known Guffey & Galley oil producing
were constructed and start
ed by Mr.. Timmons and his associates.
One of the biggest Independent re-
fineries in the United States he also
built at New Orleans Before Oin to
the Texas and southern fields. Mr..
Timmons started to competing with
the Standard by leading an ~depend
ent refinery move at Oil City, Pa, and
later building three other crude. oil re-
fineries in the eastern oil fields.
Little could be earned about the oil
refinery proposed for Chanute. It

Don't you. who do not know medicine
at all, see that this is wrong? hat it is
a mere patchwork? That while the suf-
fering organ is enjoying its temporary re-

account of the uncertainties of medicine?

If life and health depend upon perfect

Chicago National league team from

contract unsigned to Manager Selee.
This does not mean he will not be a

whether or not his demands will be
