STRATUM OF SEARCH
 NOT YET OF OIL
The Progress Made by a Group of
 Phoenix Investigators.

An afternoon paper yesterday gave publicity to a report that has been in circulation for some time. to the eff feet that oil has been found at no great distance from Phoenix. The Re- publican has been aware for some months that a certain organization of Phoenix men has been spending a lit tie money to investigate the oil possi- bilities of this section and has kepe in close touch with events from the be- ginning. Rumors similar to the one given currency yesterday have been placed in circulation about every ten days ever since last April, but like yesterdays report they have had no warrant in fact. The Republican has hitherto refused to refer to them. not wishing to create a foolish excitement with nothing whatever to base it on, Every recurring report has been care fully investigated and found to have originated merely on the fact that se- crecy was being maintained in the pro- secution of the boring operations and in the hope of curious outsiders that oil might be found and that they might profit by attendant benefits.
 The gentlemen interested in the pro- ject are spending a little of their own lhoHey III IlS lllnlate search for oil, and should they find it, it will be one of the biggest things that could hap pen in this locality. But The Republi- can speaks advisedly when it states that up to 3 o'clock yesterday after noon there were no more indications of oil than there have been in evidence for months. The well is down some hundreds of feet and it is full of water. There are some oil indications as there are in every deep hole sunk in this country. But there is no oil yet.

P1NTscH GAS MADE N KANSAS.
Pullman Coaches Supplied With Gas
From Plant at Newton.

Newton, Kan, August 24.-The local
plant Of the Pintsch Gas and Compress
Air company has started the fires I'M

the use of the Pullman cars passing
through Newton.
G. W. Dunlop, whose business it is to
establish these plants and oversee their

expects to leave soon for Memphis,
Tenn, on a similar mission. He has
installed as manager here F. z. Chilcoat
who with his wife viii make his home

The process is an interesting one. The
crude gas oil IS piped from the car to
the brick watts, which are almost the
first things to attract the attention of
the observer and is pumped into the
pipes which conduct It into the retorts
which are heated to an intense degree.
Here the crude gas which is formed
passes to another and cooler room
where it goes through a course of re-
finement. The condenser eliminates a
part Of the tar while a washer finishes
the work A purifier filed with lime
and shavings removes the sulphur and
when ready the Illuminating air passes
to the large holder which is feature
of all gas factories and where it has a
pressure of but one ounce and a half.
From there it is carried through pipes
to the store holders where its pressure
is 225 pounds and is ready to pipe to
the station where the tanks of the ears
may be supplied as needed. The plant
was not running at its full capacity
yesterday having only started but
when It reaches the limit will manu-

The gas made from this oil is much
more expensive than that made by the
ordinary method and is much more

PASSES WITHIN STATES.
New Pass Law Relates Only to Is
suance of Interstate transportation.


The ''no-free- transportation" provis-
ion Of the new interstate commerce act
will not prohibit the issuance of passes
or half-fare tickets to points situated
within a state. The law covers inter
state and foreign business and traffic,
but it does not regulate operations
within an individual commonwealth.
This testimony may afford comfort to
many persons, including politicians.
who have been in the habit of obtaining
free transportation or reduced fares. In
states where no laws have been enact
ed forbidding the issuance Of free trans
portation, passes may be issued between
points located within any enc of such
states.
But executive, local and traffic officials
Of the roads profess an earnest desire
to fulfill the intent of the new federal
law. and they may apply the Interstate
regulations to state business. There
seems to be no doubt that many roads
viii abolish entirely the pass and re-
duced fare. The exceptions to the rule
will, with several roads, be few.

PLANS FORMULATING.

The Rock Island-Frisco system pro-
poses to bring immigrants direct from
every part of Europe to the lands
along its routes in the south and
southwest and settle them there.
John Sebastian, passenger traffic
manager, returned yesterday from a
three months tour of Europe on
which he visited Austria Hungary
italy. Germany, Holland, Scandina-
via, and some of the MINOR countries
in the southeast Of Europe. He
studied the laws of the different coun-
tries, consulted with their immigra-
ton officials. and acquainted himself
with the condition Of their peoples
with a view of formulating a compre-
hensive plan for carrying out his rail-
ways big project.
1.-THE laws of Europe and the atti-
tude of public officials. said Mr.. Sc
bastian. make it difficult for those
promoting immigration, especially Of
the better classes of people, to carry
on their work without danger Of get
ting into trouble. but I expect to be
able by legitimate means to bring
great many people to the United
States
For some time past the flow of i'm
migration to the southwest, especial
" from the Mediterranean countries
of Europe, has been large in the ex-
IRENE. From all he learned while he
was abroad. Mr.. Sebastian declares he
IS convinced that there is no reason
to look for any din1inution of the in
flow for a long time to come. On the
contrary, he said, the Immediate ten
dency is all in the other direction. The
food of immigration from Europe TO
this country is likely to be larger in
the coming six months than ever be-
fore In d like period in the history Of
the country.

STORING THEIR WHEAT.
Crop in COvvIey County Generally Good
But Prices Poor.

But LAICeS EOOf.
The wheat crop of Cowley county is
generally very good. The wheat that
was threshed before being rained upon
too much is of the first grade but a
great deal of it has been wet While in
the shock causing It in some cases to
sproUt, and in most cases that which
is threshed is musty. The greater ma
jority of the farmers that were for
tunate enough to get their wheat
threshed before the rains have stored
They say the price at present is not
enough to make the crop pay as it
should.
The consequence of this boarding of
grain eventually reacts and is felt in
the trade Of the city. When there is
little sale Of grain there is very little
trading done by the farmers, and a
stimulation Of trade is not likely until
the price of wheat is advanced to
profitable basis.-Arkansas City Trav-
