another, the Beals system has beer
the one which won out.
The experience Of cities using gas
for heating purposes shows that the
average cost for the average home ol
6 to 8 rooms is $27 per year. Heat
ing the same rooms with coal costs
about $6S per year. This means a
saving of $50 per year to the average
family with no smoke, no ashes, no
fixing fires. 1t is proposed to
organize a company here to install
the plant and it is probable that it
will te a very profitable institution.
The low price OF crude oil and the
large'amou Of gas obtainable under
the newly invented process means a
fine profit. 1t far exceeds in satisfac-
tion and service the natural gaspropo-
sition. The gas can be run into stoves
and furnaces now used, making no
extra cost except piping.
The success OF the new gas plant
will depend entirely on the support 1t
receives here. Mr.. Iams' plans are to
organize local campany with $S5, 900
capital, no preferred stock and no
bonuses; Of this 500, 900 will be sold at
par to establish the plant. 1t is esti-
mated that the plant can be put in
for that and the experiences elsewhere
prove that handsome dividends can
be earned on such a capitalization.
He wants to sell all the stock here II
possible, at least majority Of it so
that local managers may have entire
control.
Mr.. Iams will call on the business
men and capitalists Of town tOmor-
row. He has proposition that
means much for Abilene and should
be considered carefully.

DON'T WANT PARKER TRAINS
Two Railroads That Do Not Want
Show Traffic.

The Red Men Of Sedalia have widely
advertised a carnival to be held the
week OF the state fair, October Z to
12, the attractions to be furnished by
the Parker Amusement company Of
Abilene. Today the carnival was
called off, owing to the fact that
neither the Missouri Pacific nor the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroads
will transport the amusement COM
pany over their respective lines.
Mr.. Parker when asked about it
said; "There is nothing personal in
it, | understand. The roads have all
the business they can handle and do
not like show business anyhow. They
class it as extra hazardus and though
we have to sign releases from dam
age suits they have to pay occasional
ly. The Missouri Pacific will haul
our train for $40 q mile but that is
too much. The Katy positively re-
fuses the business. There are plenty
Of good towns on other roads and it
does not worry us any"

The Union Pacific has made arrange
ments for observation cars to be
placed on trains No. l0S and l04, the
day passenger trains that run through
Kansas. 1t is expected that the cars
will soon be put into service. The
object will be to give the travellers 8
chance to have q good look at the
beautiful country along the Kaw and
Smoky Hill rivers and the road Of the
Union Pacific. The company realizes
that some Of the most beautiful seem
cry along the system Of the Union Pa
cifc is the KAw Valley. This will be
q good way to advertise this part Of

Mr.. Niemoeller was an old resident,
having come to this section Of the
country from the east thirty years
ago. He has been very successful in
all Of his undertakings here, and when
he died was the owner Of 2 sections Of

The city council last night granted
a franchise to Rezin Iams Of Clay Cen
ter and S. s. Osburn OF Cbanute for .
gas plant. The company proposes tc
install plent to make gas from crude
oil, process that is in successful
operation in score Of towns in New
Mexico and California
The gas made from the heavy Kan
sas oil has 787 heat units in it. Arti-
fetal gas made from coal or coke has
from 5 D to 600 heat units and natural
gas about 200. There is some differ
ence in natural gas. The wells in the
Chanute field are said not to have as
high a percentage of heat units as
the wells farther south or those in the
Paola field. The difference, however,
is not great. In Pennsylvania the
natural gas has more than 300 gas
units, and in California ii is SO lack
ing in them that it is not adapted to
general use, but only for lightning
purposes.
The composition Of the gas pro-
duced by the Beal's system is as fol-
lows: Illuminants, 1l,2; oxygen, 0.4;
carbonic oxide, S.4; hydrogen, 40.4;
marsh gas, 4l.S; nitrogen, 2.S.
The beauty Of the process is that
through its use the advantages Of gas
can be brought to many towns which
are now kept from using this fuel and
illuminant because OF their size. Mr..
Iams says that the company he is
with can operate system prottably
in towns Of from 5000 to 1000 inhab-
itants.
That the gas is superior to other
artificial gas is evident from the fact
that in several places where plants
using different processes have been
operated In competition with one
