EFFECTS OF TRUST.
Kansas OIL Field In Deplorable Con.
ditlon on Account Cut.

Ed JAseers and wife have resurssd
from Vernon. Kausss. where Mr.. jag
gers 10 interested in the oil busipess.
He says that the oil business there is
practically de.norAlixed since the
Standard Oil company has secured its
grasp on the field.
As is the usual custom Of this COM
pany . deep cut on the price Of oil
has been put into feet and the price
OF the com modify has been slAshed
from 6S to 20 cents per barrel. leaving
bot little profit TO the owner OF the
we'll after expenses are paid. The
present outlook for the field Is not
at all bright and the operators are
greatly discouraged
There is one Independent refinery
running at this time but it is operat-
ing at . great disadvantage ~ the
Stnuuhih IL Whkiuk WAR hkAiuet ~
Before the onslsuRhts of the trust
took place the field WAS producing
26. 200 barrels OF oil Day but now il
is only doing about 1000 barrels per
diem. Only few wells are being
drilled and these will be shut down ~
soon as completed. Altogether there
are 800 strings of tools laying idle.
Mr.. Jaggers looks for but little re-
lief from the present condition of
affairs until after the legislature has
finished its squsbhling.
The grade of the oil there is not
so good As that produced in the
Florence field and does not have tine
same commercial value.
Mr. JsgRers and wife were laid
out for three days while enroute to
Floren,e, the train they were on
being snow bound.

Pinkston, one OF the officials OF the
Canton Hankow Railway Company OF
China. has arrived here from the ORR
ent on his way east 10 purchase ma
terial for the construction OF the pro-
posed line between the two cities
named, Of which 20 miles nave already
been finished. About 750 miles of road
between Canton and Hankow are to
be built. The work will begin In June
and is expected 10 be completed In
three years. II was recently reported
from Brussels that Pierpont Morgan
had purchased the king OF Belgiums
interest in the Canton Hankow road
and American interests SO as eventu-
ally to cover the Franco Belgian con-
cession for line from Hankow to Pc.
kin. thereby making a trunk line Of
about $500 miles from Pelxln to Canton.
Concerning these recent reports Pinks-
ton says:
There Is probably truth in the Brus-

road Is to be built under a concession
granted to the China American COM
pany, of which J. Pierpont Morgan Is
the fnancler."
