A Company of Bankers in Rice
County to Sink Holes.
Have Leased Considerable Land
i'm That Territory.
OIL u ON WATER.
Often an Inch in Buckets Drawn
From Deep Wells.
First Experiment to Be Made
81 Miles From Hutchinson.

Hutchinson, Kan, Oct. ga COM
pany of bankers and others is being
formed in Rice county for the purpose
of prospecting for oil and gas in this
part of the state.
A. B. Caldwell of Hutchinson, who
has charge of a quarter section of
land in the southeastern part of Rice
county says the meu who are form
ing the organization, have leased
much land in the southeastern w
ship of Rice county and that he has
an offer for the land which he cOn-
trolls. He a that the affair is in
charge of j. A. Smith, a Sterling BAN
ker, and Mr.. Poole, a banker at Sax
man. There are also other bankers
in that county and other people in
terested in the project.
Arrangements are being made to
bore holes there in a good many diff
ferent points and every test pos
sible will be made with the idea of Sc
curing either gas or oil somewhere.
1t is stated that some of the deep
inch of oil on top of a bucket of wat
err often. There are also other evil
dences which lead oil men, who have
made Investigations 20 believe that oil
will certainly be found there.
The point at which the first well
viii be put down is about twenty-one
miles northwest of Hutchinson. The
matter of securing the leases has been
kept quiet for some weeks so that a
large scope of territory could be Sc
cured. This is necessary to protect
the men who will put up their money
for the expense of drilling.

Judge Ten Eyck, of Newark, N. J..
recently decided that only houses on
one side of a road could be counted in
Classifying a highway under the mo-

So pleased are farmers and motorists
alike with the oiling of the old Butler
pike, the most popular drive out of
Pittsburg, that they have been be-
seeching the county commissioners to
extend the treatment.

Marshal Collins, of Glen Echo, Nd,
the Nemesis of motorists, particularly
those of the diplomatic corps of Wash

post of duty, owing, it is said, to a
row with the mayor of his town.
After three days trial the special
officers who were employed to break
up speeding IN the roads leading to
Atlantic City were discharged by the
county authorities. Motorists had been
warned and there was nothing for them
to dc.
An ordinance requiring motorcycles
to be effectively muff1ed at all times
has been passed by Pasadena, Cal, and
at Los Angeles there is a strenuous
fight on against the open muff1er nuis-

To be struck by a trolley car with
sufficient force to push the automobile
sidewise over a street a distance of
so feet and yet escape without injury
to it's running gear was the fortune OF
a car owned by Ralph L. Smith, of st.

Although taximeter cabs are design

Refused permission by rural authori-

Chicago, Oct. 23.-Chicago's foot

the collegiate armament as the result
of Saturdays grist of gridiron battles.
The maroons' overwhelming defeat of
Illinois in conjunction with the rather
Disappointing showing of Minnesota in
the gophers' 8 to 6 victory over Ne
braska leaves the Midway team the
general favorite for western honors in
the opinion Of football followers
throughout the conference district.
The eyes Of the west were on the
Chicago and Minnesota contests, n
the verdict returned gives the maroons
the shade on DIR. Williams players on
the basis Of the respective perform
ances of the two teams rather than on
comparative score dope" The games
two championship rivals cleared for
their meeting Nov. 2, Minneapolis with
a record of having scored 16 points to
6 for its opponents in two games and
Chicago with a SO to IL c for
two games OF at least equal class.
Outside the conference territory,
Michigan's ~ to o defeat of Wabash
fulfilled the expectations of the
wolverine supporters, for the men of
Yost, averaging some twenty pounds
bound to wear down the game
Hoosivers. Wabash retrieved its defeat
in a measure by it's opening stand
against the maize and blue, when it
held the beefy Michigan team to a 6 to
o score In the first half.
Wisconsin rooters took a large
measure of confidence from the var
sity's defeat of the badger freshmen,
40 to 0, and the cardinals are looking
forward to beating the Illini next Sat
urday at Madison. The Indiana po-
sition remained stationary in the alb
sence Of a game for the boosters. Iowa
and Drake both won their games by
handy margins, thereby creating
much dope" for the cornhusker
rooters, who will witness the Iowa
Drake game next Saturday.

X. O.. Is WORKING A r
;Jayhawkers Hope to Defeat M. U, Ne
braska and Washburn.

Lawrence, KAN, Oct. 23.-In all
probability the Jayhawker team will
work behind closed gates all the rest
of the season. 1t is certain that prac-
tice will be secret until after Novem-
Der 9. the late of the Nebraska game,
and it is probable that the students of
the University of Kansas will not be
allowed to watch the Jayhawkers in
practice again this season.
secret practice started there a week
ago when the preparations for the
Oklahoma game were begun. Coach
Kennedy is now framing up his plans
for the Washburn game a week from
next Saturday.
The week after the game with the
Topeka team will be spent in prepar-
ing for the Nebraska game. Last year
Kansas defeated Nebraska and was
helped very much by the fact thai
they sprung absolutely new plays on
the Cornhuskers.
The fact of the matter is that the
team is at present being pointed for
the Nebraska contest. This is the
echeduIe. The last time Nebraska
played at Lawrence in 1903 Nebraska
won, 6 to o. on a 60-yard run to a
touchdown by Bender Last year two
field goals beat Nebraska in the first
Kansas-Nebraska game since that
famous one of 1908.
The result of these contests, added
to the healthy rivalry that exists be-
tween the schools, will make the Ne
braska-Kansas game this year of more
than ordinary interest. Kansas stud
ents would gladly lose to Missouri if
by so doing they could beat Nebraska.
But Kansas students want also the
team to beat Washburn.
For many years have the Kansas uni
versity rooters journeyed to Topeka
with hopes in their hearts that the
State university representatives would
severely wallop the collegians. Seldom
have their wishes been gratified.
Usually the game has been close and
hard fought

Peck, Coles assistant, made the trip

CEDARVALE WITHOUT GAS.
The Chautauqua County Town Threat
ened With a Fuel Famine.

C~edarvale. Kan, Oct. 21.-Cedar-
vale is without gas The ines supply
ing the town have been cut off. The
cause assigned is that there was not
enough gas to supply that city and the
other on the line, and Cedarvale, be-
ing the outlying town, is the victim.
The most serious feature of this is
that the little city is threatened with
a fuel famine. Winter is coE-ing on,
and no supply of fuel has been laid in,
1t being supposed that the gas supply
would continue. Owing to the late
ness of the season, it will be a hard
matter to get a stock of coal to supply
the town and the citizens are much
exercised over the situation.
