Governor Higgins Letter.
State of New York.
Executive Mansion.

Executive Mansion.
My Dear Mr.. President While
talking with you in relation to the OIL
producers in Oklahoma and Indian
Territory on Saturday evening you
suggested that | write you on the
subject on account of the limited
time which we had for discussion of
the matter.
Permit me to state first that |
have no personal investments in OIL
or gas properties in Oklahoma or In
dian Territory, nevertheless | am
familiar with the subject of the de-
velopment of the oil producing sec
tions of II country, as | have spent
nearly all my life in the oil belt.
Oil production, like every lother
form of mining necessarily involves
large elements of risk. If it did not
it could be handled on the same basis
that most other legitimate undertake
ings are handled. II is not neces-
sary for me to state that We are all
interested in the largest development
possible of the natural of
our country. This can only be done
by pursuing a liberal policy with the
oil producer.
| understand that my friend, Mr.,
Theodore n. Barnsdall, of Pittsburg,
Pa, has been one of the principal
developers of the oil and gas sections
of the southwest. He organized the
Kansas Natural Gas company, which
is now supplying about 100000 peo'
pie with gas at prices ranging iron
% to 30 cents per thousand feet
In the PAGES where the artificial gas
vas used il was sold at from vi t.
Sl.25 per thousand previous to thu
building of Mr.. Barnsdall's lines
The lower price enables the masses
of the people, both rich and poo
alike, u avail themselves of this
luxury, as | know from twenty-five
years experience.
The eases from which this gas
taken come down to the lines of Kan
sas and the Cherokee, and the aver
age rental for gas wells paid to tn
land owners is about Sl25 a year
The company has large wells within
a quarter of a mile of the Cherokee
line.
The Union Natural Gas compan.
has over 100000 acres of land l
Ohio. West Virginia and PennsyI
vania, and pays an average annuf
rental of 800 per year.
Mr.. Barnsdall desires to build
line to st. Louis, Mo-, to supply q
least 100000 consumers. Artifcii
gas there now costs so cents, contain
ing only about 60 per cent of the hes
units of natural gas.
OF course, you will readily undeI
stand that gas lines can not be ful
nished for a city as large ms )
Louis unless the company absoluteI
owns or controls from 100000 to 2OO
600 acres of gas land.
The secretary OF the interior HI
asked that 2i2 per cent of the q
receipts be given to the Indians al

Greeley Boat Club.

1t is not generally known that
Greeley has considerable navigation,
although situated nearly q mile
above sea level. 1t has, though, and
even has boat club with consid-
erable membership. Any afternoon
since school let out owners Of the
yachts can be seen with their crafts
skimming the waters of No. ditch.
There are no less than twenty can
vas boats on the big ditch. owned by
about as many boys. The boats
range in size from eight to twelve
feet in length and are Of uniformly
good workmanship. They are light
enough so that two of the youngsters
can easily pick them up and carry
them home when not in use.
Heavy dam canvas, stretched over
skeleton of wood and given a few
coats Of paint constitute the material
out of which these racing yachts are
constructed, and the boys have as
much fun with them as though they
were navigating the Pacific ocean.

The WHITE COMPANY
Great Story Beginning in Next
Weeks Magazine

The magazine section for next
week contains the first instalment
of "The White Company" by Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle.
Conan Doyle studied two years and
read over hundred historical
volumes to get his material for The
White Company" and the book
really succeeds in transporting the
reader rigut back into the olden days
of the Black Prince and the noblest
Of England's Edwards-the days of
chiyalry and knightly venture, when
English princes, knights and lusty
men-at-arms and sturdy long bow
men swarmed across the narrow
sea" into France and Spain.
Our magazine section will print
this absorbing story, beginning next
week.
'"rhe White Company" is the
sequel to ''Sir Nigel" the story for
which Sir Conan Doyle received
s25, 900.
Among the other articles will be
found, Red Rum, a thrilling tenn
perance story.

Currier Case Decree.

Judge Cunningham of Colorado

decree in the Currier case last Satur-
day. The decree charged the costs
of the suit. since June 1908, against
William Mayher and James Tucker
man. and also gave decree against
them for $40, 626, and appointed MIL
ton Lyons and Frank Frost receivers
for the estate, removing Mayher and
Tuckerman as executors. 1t was
held by the court that the two gen.
tlemen mentioned we're never legally
appointed as executors.
Thirty days were allowed in which
to file an appeal bond and ninety
days In which to file bill of excep-
tions.

CLEAN THEM UP.

1t is dollars to doughnuts that the
all absorbing topic of the revelations
of conditions in the great Chicago
packing houses and the subsequent
investigation by commission ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt will
fizzle out. Even If every word in
the book by Upton Sinclair. and
every word in the Neill- Reynolds re-
port, now before congress, is true, it
Il more than probable that the whole
matter will receive .whitewashing
from the congressional committee.
Already there is seen tendency to
favor the packers side of the story,
as against that of the investigators.
This is not so strange, however,
to anyone who has at all followed
the trend of events the past few
years in the national government and
the various state governments.
There is not one Of the great corpor-
ate interests that has not its set of
senators and congressman in the ma
tional capital, and the packers, as
the events of the past few weeks has
proven, are not the exception to
this rule. Almost the moment that
the packers saw serious trouble ahead
Speaker Cannon, of the house, was
up in arms for the packers, all of
which proves that their lobby was
not dead, but just laying off because
there had been no occasion for call
ing attention to itself.
The cry that is being put up in
this direction is that the exposures
will injure the western cattle trade.
Supposing that it does? The in
jury can only be temporary and
should not in any way interfere with
the cleaning up of the filth, with
which the packing plants seem to be
reeking. Fortunately the people of
the country are helping in the most
effective way possible, by practically
ahstaining from the use of meats put
up in covers of any form. A slice of
steak or chunk of roast can be
trimmed of bit and the gaggy feel
ing removed that might otherwise
deter one from eating it. Not so

any other of the many tempting

There are many people who have
used .Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera

results, but who are unknown be-
cause they have hesitated about CIV
ing testimonial of their experience

ever, are none the less friends of this
remedy. They have done much to-
ward making 1t household word by
their personal recommendations to
friends and neighbors. 1t is good

BETTER RETIRE.

After his participation in the re-
cent county printing scandals it
is now too late to do it before-Fritz
Wattenberg should retire to private
life. where there are no political OBJ
legations except to vote for decent
men to public office. A man who
has no regard for the use Of the
peoples money is not a fit man for
county commissioner, or any other

ANrl.cRAFr SCHOOL.

LII oil dIGcupo " AohSSCoiA 6A"AS
the Pennsylvania railroad has estab-
lished school for employees, where
they will be brought up in utter ig-
norance of tempting offers. A night
course has been established at one
of the company's stations in Phila-
delphia, at which $50 young men are
being schooled for promotions to
positions of chief clerks, assistants
to general officers, car distributors,
etc.
Startling revelations before the
interstate commerce commission re.
Gently, exposing the gratis worked
by various employees OF this road has
brought about this rather remarkable
school. Two former clerks in the
employ of the road, whose duty it
has been to purchase coal for use In
the locomotives on the road, testified
before the commission that they had
either been given, or had purchased
at practically nothing. about $780,.
600 worth of coal stock from the
coal companies with whom they
placed coal orders. OF course, the
railroad had to pay enough more for
its coal to make up for this bribe
money.
While it may be a little late in
the day and the measure may also be
ineffective. the scheme of the Penn
sylvania road is step in the right
direction. The better way, how
ever, is to begin the training for
honesty right in the primary grades
of the public schools. AS Superin-
tendent Carter of the Greeley schools
recently stated in published paper,
teach the youth to do right, for the
sake of right itself.
The graft evil has become so much
a part of our national life that 1t
will take several generations before
the evil can even be checked. There
is scarcely an occupation Of any kind
that does not have as side issue
some scheme of graft, and there is
hardly man met but has some little
pet scheme by which he hopes to
make others pay him q little trib-
ute. But this very fact is really the
only redeeming feature in the whole
scheme; we are all in 1t, and the
man with the best graft gets the best
of it.
Caring nothing tnen for the moral
effect upon one's nature, we might
say the system was pretty fair, but
If every particle of graft in the
United States was wiped out COM
pletely in one day very few would be
actual financial losers and the ma
jority-the small would
save enough by no longer being re-
quired to pay tribute to others of
their kind to fully make up for the
loss Of their own graft.
Such a sweeping reform would
mean the greatest moral houseclean-
ing that this country has ever seen
much greater even than the eman-
cipation of the blacks in '63.
