tire house had been ransacked with the

by the burglars. Miss Florence Tullock.
daughter of Mrs. Tulock, is to be mar

NECESSITY FOR PIPE LINE.
Oil City Derrick shows one Is Needed

to Gulf
OF interest to the countless persons
in these parts. who have invested in
oil properties, is the following from the
Oil City Derrick:
The original outlet for the enor-
nous production of the territories and
Kansas is the laying of pipe line from
the fields down through Texas to the
gun This would give them access to
the fuel markets and a direct means
OF reaching the export trade. On ac-
count of the falling off of production
in the Texas fields the market
price of the Texas product is now
about twice as much as they are get
ting for the best grade of oil produced
IN Kansas and the territories. Texas
oil is commanding sixty cents barrel
at the wells and where long time con-
tracts could be made it was from ten
to fifteen cents higher in the terri
tories. 1t is stated that in well in
formed circles it is very generally un
derstood that the Standard has under
contemplation the construction of
pipe line to the gulf One official made
the statement recently that in all prob
ability line would be completed with
in year While it is hoped that the
Standard will take the initiative in the
construction of a line, it is said that
there could be sufficient capital inter
ested to build the line. Producers
would be quite willing that the Stand
ard should undertake the work for it
would then be pushed to a speedy com
pletion. The construction of a line
through the state of Texas does not
mean that It would be of no benefit ex-
cept for the Transporting of the oil
from the territories and Kansas. It is
the general belief that oil will be
found in many localities through
which the pipe line would pass in It's
course to the gulf. At any rate con-
ditions have so changed during the
past year in Texas that the success of

Nearly 81, 100000 has been raised in

if properly distributed, cannot fail to
afford relief to thousands of destitute

trial of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. In

found safe and reliable and always
gives prompt relief. Many cases of
stomach trouble have been cured by
the Bitters after other remedies had

IRRIGATION BEING

Numerous irrigation projects are be.

land and bitches, says the Omaha Bee.
w. H. Knepper of Buffalo, Wyo., was

project by which he proposes to water
10000 acres in Johnson county near
Kaycee. 1t is called the Sahara ditch
and is situated 100 miles from a rail
road midway between the Burlington
and Northwestern railroads.
"The state sells this land for so
cents an acre and regulates the price
to be charged for the water rights. Ma.

the front in Wyoming, which bid fair
soon to transform this state into one
vast irrigated farm" said Mr.. Knep-
