WILL BORE FOR OIL
Another Well VIII Be Sunk on
WhIteaker Farm. Four Miles
East Of DaIlas.

Arrangements are under way again
to develop the oil resources, II such
exist, in this section OF the valley.
There are the strongest indications
that there is oil to be had, and possi-
bly, gas, which is so often found 10
connection with oil.
In 1900 we'll was put down on the
B. F. Whiteaker place about four
miles northwest Of Independence. The
we'll, however, was abandoned at q
depth Of about one thousand feet on
account Of break In the casing. The
bore OF the we'll being small 1t became
impossible to proceed with operations
on the we'll and work was dlscontin-
ued altogether.
The salt FORMATION was found, how
ever, which exists Ia other oil regions,
and those familiar with conditions
feel confident that there exists a field
here that only needs development
work of the right sort to bring IL to
the front
1t may be the same old story here
that has been the case In other sections
OF the country. Old settled regions
where indications Of oil and gas
existed were allowed to 60 undevels
oped for many sears, and finally when
tests were made thoroughly, the fields
were rapidly developed, Such was
the case In Southeast Kansas, with
which the writer is somewhat famil-
lar. It has been only within the last
few years since cities there have taken

No time to think

When pipes begin to
leak and the bathroom
floor is flooded, look out
for a fall in the ceiling
below. All small leaks
become Niagaras if neg
lected, and it costs lots
of money to repair a
ceiling. The surest way
to avoid a Plumbers
bill is either to put in
the best plumbing at the
start, or to watch out
for possible leaks and
rusty JolnCS. WE are
expert Plumbers, use
only the best materials,
the best workmanship,
and guarantee all work
done. THINK AHEAD!
If you have plumbing
that you want done in
the cheapest manner do
not come to us. We
don't do that kind Of
work; but if you have
Plumbing that you want
done in a irst-class man
ner, Plumbing that's

see us. That's the kind
of work we want and
our price will be as cheap
as that kind of work can
be done.

darkness prevailed at the resorts along
Beach street. where for a long time past

The action OF the council in ordering
the gambling places closed was received
with pleasure by those who were respon-
sible for the crusade, although they did
not expect such speedy elimination OF
their plans for the uplifting OF the famous
resort. There is considerable interest as
TO whether the police will require strict
enforcement of the law. for that would
entail the closing OF the Casino. the

chase OF the theater was made by Comp
troller Grout in 1906 IL excited wide crlti-

The theater building. together with the
entire site, was assessed on the city's tax
books at 100000. The city paid &oo,Uo
