Observation-Disclosures
FROM THE NEoDEsHA FIELD
Independence Special Says Railroad
Will Buy $4,000 Barrels a Month

Special to the World.
independence, Kan, Oct. 5.-The
Frisco railroad company will begin
buying fuel oil from the Neodesha re-
linery in about two weeks. The loco
motives are being supplied with oil
burners for that purpose.
There has been a good deal of talk
about the Frisco turning to oil for
fuel, and many statements have been
made TO the erect that contracts had
been made with producers in the
Glenn pool, but it is reliably said
that the reslduum and fuel oil of the
Neodesha refinery will be used, Il
contract having ben entered into for
$4,000 barrels MONTH. 1t is prob
able that this will be increased as
more engines are equipped.
1t is stated that the residuum or
heavier oils, that is oil from which
the lighter parts have ben taken,
forms the most valuable fuel, as it
contains greater heat units.
The success Of the Frisco will be
closely watched, and if it finds il TO
advantage to use oil instead of coal
there is no doubt that other roads
will follow suit, And there is no
doubt AZ to the Frisco's success. The
value Of oil has ben demonstrated
beyond coal. for railroad fuel. When
the Southern Pacific first began using
oil in California, there were many
misgivings, but now it uses nothing
else, and the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe are now among the very
largest oil producers in California,
The Santa Fe is now engaged in try
ing to produce an oil pool in this
field, near Ardmore.

SOR7ER STUCK
ON THE TOWN
PRESIDENT COLLARS THINKS
TULSA is A LIVE ONE
COLLEGE BOARD HERE
Promoters of Christian University
Visit Proposed Sites and Talk
to Citizens.

Tulsa was host to celebrated men
yesterday when portion of the Board
Of Trustees of the proposed Christian
University for the new state came
here to look over the advantages pre-
sented by this city for the establish
ment of the college here Il. V. Zol-
lars, president of the University, and
former president of Hiram college in
Ohio, was one Of the prominent men,
Mr.. Zollars was accompanied by his
wife, Another man of note was w.
j. Ford, of Hiram, Ohio, for fifty
years on the board of trustees Of the
Hiram college. Mr.. Ford is a wealthy
furniture manufacturer with factories
in Chicago. He has long been identi-
fed with Hiram college, having been
one Of its trustees when James A..
Garfield was one of the faculty. Mr..
Ford bears the distinction of having
nominated Garfield for Congress the
first time the martyred president en-
tered national politics. He is an old
war-horse, both in politics and church
work. He is not a minister Mr.. Ford
has interests in the new state as well
as in Illinois and Ohio. He is now
well advanced in years, but thinks
that if he just moves down into the
equable climate of Oklahoma that he
will be good for many long years to
come. He says that this feature of
the new state will aid much in peo-
pling it, He said in a speech before
the Commercial Club that there were
a great many of the old guard up in
the northern states, who felt the rig.
ors of the climate there too hard for
them, and that they would like to seek
the congenial temperature Of Oklaho,
ma as a means of staying here on
earth little longer. Mr.. Ford stated
that in his opinion Tulsa would stand
in favor of the board on account of
the prohibition clause in the enabling
act, which necessitates this section of
the state remaining "dry" for at
least twenty-one years.
President collars when seen by d
representative of the World at the
Robinson hotel stated that Tulsa hat
made a very creditable bid at Guthrie
and that he believed would be hearc
from in the final summing up of mat
ters. He expressed himself as very
much impressed with the city and it,
surroundings, and thought its natura
resources would weigh heavily in the
determining Of the location for tho
college. AT the meeting of the Com
mercial Club where he spoke last
night, he outlined the scope of tn,
proposed university, and stated whar
he thought would be necessary to lane
the college.
