The bill received from the city for
water used at the fair grounds was
considered and a committee was APP
pointed to go before the council and
make satisfactory adjustment OF
the account.
A set of resolutions thanking the
various newspapers and the railroads
for their assistance in making the
fair a success was adopted. The sec
retary ordered to inscribe same upon
the minutes and forward copies to
the newspapers and to the railroad
companies.
The bills of the various directors
for expenses incurred in travelling to
and from the board meetings for the
season of 1906 were filed and in each
and every case the amount due was
voluntarily donated by the director.
Just at six o'clock after the inform
al discussion of several other minor
matters the board adjourned sine

The outgoing board has done its
work well and deserves the thanks OF
the entire citizenship OF the county
for the manner in which it brought
the fair out of dire financial straits.

VIII Insure Even Gas Pressure Morn
ing and Evening.

ing ana Evening.
lola. kan. Dec 14-There is every
likelihood that the city will eventually
buy a gas compressor to put in between
the city mains and the gas wells owned
by the gas plant.
The talk of gas compressors has been
going on for a long time. Ever since
gas was discovered in lola and since
its use for heating and lighting the
town, now about twelve years, the pres
sure has been uneven. In the early
morning when every stove was put on
to it's full capacity the mains were I'M
able to hold enough gas to supply the
demand 1t was suggested by gas men
that twelve inch mains run around town
would act as a reservoir sufficient to
equalize this sudden demand for gas.
Others equally as we'll posted gave it
as their opinion that even that would
not answer. And besides it would be
more expensive than the old gas COM
pany cared to go. They gradually en-
larged their mains, but even that didn't
prevent the gas from getting low at
the wrong time.
In the early morning every family
wished to heat up the house. 1t was
then that the gas was the lowest. just
when they needed it worst In the even
ing when the fires were turned Off in
many stoves 1t came up strong enough
to burn up a stove
A gas compressor equalizes all these
things It makes a steady pressure pos
sible and it doesn't use any more gas
than is used where one is not attached
to the mains. 1t has one other great
advantage A well with the smallest
possible pressure can be used and all
the gas it produces can be utilized. In
many parts of the field there are old
wells in use for a number of years
which have fallen in pressure so low
that they have been abandoned. They
are good for many years to come with
a gas compressor and the city could at
tach many old wells in the field. One
member of the council in discussing the
matter said: In the eastern field wells
with a rock pressure of but five pounds
are used with gas compressors. Scores
of these wells are attached to main
and they furnish enough gas to operate
a big factory or supply a big town In
the east the day Of big pressure gas
wells is over. They are learning that
the small wells, if properly handled, are
just as good as the big wells. lola VIII
come to the same conclusion. The city
is going to start it and they expect that
eventually every factory viii come TO

THE CURFEW IN PARSONS.
At O'Clock Whistle Blows and tn
Kids Must Hike.

The curfew started to ring once
more in Parsons on Saturday night
The time for the ringing is at 7:45
o'clock and after that time all the
children under sixteen years of age
must absolutely be off the streets, if not
with a guardian. The new Jail has
been completed and all children caught
violating this rule will be imprisoned
in the tramp room of the Jail until
morning when the parents will be fined
for allowing their children to run the
streets.
The reason for the enforcement of
this aged ordinance is the startling
number of juvenile thieves that have
sprung up in Parsons. The cause of
the thieving started in allowing the
children to run the streets.-Parsons

WATER FOR CoFFEYvILLE.
Pure Flow on Gravel Found Ten Fee
Below Surface.

Coreyville. Kan, Dec. 14.-The Rec
)rd says:
At the oil refinery northeast of the
city, r, L. Plunkett. who has the con-
tract for digging a pond and building
a dyke for the same, struck water and
q fine bed of gravel Monday at a depth
Of about ten feet.
The above item is of vital impor-
lance to the people of Coffeyville for
he reason that 1t goes E. long way to
bear out the theory that there is plenty
Of sheet water down underneath the
surface of the Verdigris river bottoms.
If this is true it means a saving of
many thousands of dollars to the city
in building a new waterworks and it
means too, pure, clear water.
Some months ago the city council
ordered a we'll bored out near the
waterworks as an experiment in the
strong hope of finding plenty of
"sh eet'' water beneath the surface. But
about this time it was discovered that
Coffeyville, as a city of the first class,
could not issue any more script, and
as there is no money in the treasury,
nor has been recently, the proposed
work of drilling this we'll had to be
postponed for the present.
