Boring Away at Burnham Well

We are drilling along night and day
and have just as much faith in the
oil well as ever" said S. w. Burnham
last night. I'VE have reached depth
of about 1,400 feet and are drilling
faster now than week ago. We had
considerable limestone to go through
and it was hard and slow work"
Some one started the story on the
streets yesterday that soothsayer
had read in the stars that Squire"
Burnham would strike oil on Octo-
Der Is.
THAT is my birthday" laughed Mr..
Burnham when he heard the story.
ut would be great day for me If it
should prove true. Well, we feel as
good as ever about the we'll. Whether
we strike oil October Is or November
Is, or not at all, we shall have the
pleasure of knowing that we made a
thorough test.

Polk and HordvilIe Booming

Stromsburg The auction sale of
lots in Polk and Hordville, the new
towns on the Stromsburg- Central City
extension of the Union Pacific, aroused
much interest, and there was large
attendance at both places. A total
of 1875 lots were disposed of during the
two sales and brought an aggregate
of $4,000. The City Improvement
company of Stromsburg, which owns
both townsites, has already installed
water system at Polk and is laying
a ten-foot concrete walk on both sides
of main street, the length of two
blocks. The company has also put in
hitching racks and has begun numer
Gus other public improvements. At
Hordville the company has put down a
we'll and will maintain watering tank
and drinking fountain, also concrete
walks along the business streets. In
the dedication of both towns the COM
pany transferred two acre park to
each town, which will be planted to
trees next spring. 1t also donated a
half block for school purposes and will
give two lots to any church denomin-
atoms erecting edifces in either town
within one year. These towns are To-
Gated in as productive and highly de-
veloped farming sections as can be
found in the state.

NOT RAILROAD CANDIDATE
A. C. ShaIIenberger Writes Open Let.
ter to Editor Sprecfer and De-
MES Railroad AffiIiation

A. G. Shallenberger, the fusion can
didate for governor, wrote lengthy
letter to ex-senator John C. Sprecher,
editor of the Free Lance at Schuyler
in which he strenuously denies the
charges of railroad affiliation with
which he is charged by the republican
papers of Omaha and Lincoln.
Sprecher, through his paper, is sup
porting the entire fusion ticket except
the head, having substituted the name
of George L. Sheldon for governor for
that of Shallenberger. 1t was this
fact that called forth the open letter
published in the Omaha World-Heraid
last Monday morning. The Free Lance
has the largest circulation of any pa
per published in Colfax county and
Editor Sprecher has large personal
following among the voters of Colfax
and Platte counties.

buretor assure perfect mixture ana
uniformity of explosion.
Variable compression control accom-
plished by sliding tapered cams opera
ting the inlet valves by small throt-
tie lever on the steering wheel, and
automatic spark advance with the
throttle are shown by demonstrations
with Mr. Phillips two-cylinder car to
give almost the flexibility Of steam. As
the inlet valves remain entirely closed
when the gasoline is shut off, the
throttle lever also acts as O perfect
brake by throwning the momentum of
the car onto the cylinder compression
and effectually stopping 1t without jar
by mechanically perfect vacuum
brake thus formed. Inventor Phillips
claims there is no need to touch the
cumstances. Great economy In fuel con-
sumption is another advantage OF this
perfect throttling.
A special bronze against steel lu-
bricated clutch is employed, and the
same combination is used in the charge
speed mechanism. The free gears are

Roller bearings are used throughout
and the transmission can be taken down
in few minutes for adjustments. A
foot lever throws the clutches.

design, and declared an improvement

strength and flexibility in high degree.
