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

It would be just like building
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 refnery-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. 1t
is only a few minutes ride out to the
properties from Cherryvale. Come
down and see for yourself and talk
matters over with the men here.

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 CherryvaIe; go
out where the workmen are putting
I'D 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 it's own wells From a
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
its capacity to past one thousand bar
rels day in the next year. The time
to buy your stock is now, before these
results are accomplished. When you
invest you pay no more than hun
dreds of other investors who have
lined up with this company in the last
ten days.

HARRIS IS ONE.
Veteran Kansas Printer Succeeds
Murdoch on Printing Board.

Governor Hoch today appointed E.
P Harris, who is one of Kansas ear
lest printers, as a member of the
commission to build and equip the
new state printing plant Mr.. Harris
takes the place of Colonel NJ M. Muir
dock, who is prohibited from serving
on the commission because he holds a
FEDERAL office-DOstmaster at Wichita
The commission is holding a meet
ing today to take the preliminary
steps towards building the plant The
other two members are Charles &
GIeed of Topeka and Senator George
T. tucker of Eureka. Colonel MUIR
dock came also but explained that he
could not serve on the commission
whereupon Governor Hoch called I'D
MT Harris by telephone and offered
the place to him.
Ed Harris. as he is generally
known, has been a printer all his life
lie came to Kansas in the early DAYS
and is credited with knowing more
about the printing business than any
other man in the state. He was for
years the foreman of the state print
ing plant, but in later years he has
held a sort OF superintendent posi-
ton with Crane & Co, looking espe-
clally after the proof work.
The printing plant commission is to-
day considering primarily a site for
the plant There is a strong inclina
ton in favor of putting it adjoining
tHe state hedIlnS plant Inc state al
ready has one lot there that is avail
able for the new plant. One plan that
is being considered is the securing of
an additional lot east of that already
owned by the state, and building the
basement and first story of the print
ing plant on those two lots, with the
second story extending over the heat
ing plant also. This would give a
fifty foot frontage for the basement
and first story and the additional floor
space on the second floor afforded by
the area of the heating plant This
plan would also have the advantages
which would come of being closely
connected with the states heating
plant, from which the printing plant
will get its light, heat and power
Another site that is being consider

draws just the same amount of divi-

will be paid on unissued stock How
ever, it is the plan of the mana cement
to sell every share of this stock in the
next three months and place the pro-

refnerieS and the securing of additional
oil lands. AS before stated, there is no
deadhead or promoter stock in this COM

are not the kind that are cutters. They
mean just what they say and the man

company is a winner, and you will re-

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
446 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 a 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 12O more wells,
and this land adjoins the refinery site,
and the oil win be handy to market,
and in addition thereto two miles of val
liable 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
nools near Cherryvale-one is in La
bette county just across the line, where
the Publishers company now has for
tv-eight producing wells and two pump
ing plants. the other is the one known
as the Veeders pool just west Of Cher
rD-vale on Drum creek. The managers
IF the Uncle Sam company have held an
ontion on this property for some time
and had it in view when they located
the refinery where they did This lana
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
market for the oil, so they Joined the
Uncle sam company. There is no doubt
hut 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 go over the property. On this land
is enough water to supply a dozen re-
hneries.

With a thousand barrel refinery in OPP
Grafton, and with oil lands and oil wells
that the Uncle Sam company will con-
troll by that time, do you think you will
be able to buy any of this stock under
so cents per share. The men at the
head of this company are practical bus
mess men. They are working tooth and
nail for the grand success of this re-
f1nery. It will be built and in operation

Act now: strike while opportunity
knocks at your door: secure some of
this stock before it advances five or
ten-fold for you will not likely have a
chance again to join a refinery COM
pany that has as many strong points
as this company. Three hundred and
ninety-eight dollars cash will buy ten
thousand shares if check is sent at
once.

avenue directly north of the heating
plant. This would have its advant-

considerable material in the old
school building that can be used in the
foundation for the new plant.

upon the location and the kind of a

building and the commission will ask
