ANOTHER BIG GAssER
Struck on the McHaney Farm Last
Friday.

Another great big gasser was
brought in on the McHaney farm
south of this city last Friday even
ing that threatens to eclipse in pro.
duction any Of the other wells.
The gas sand was struck at a
depth Of 40 feet and the strata is
over 20 feet thick. It is estimated
that this new we'll will produce over
100000 cubic feet of gas per day.
This makes four producers in that
vicinity, with another deep we'll be-
ing drilled. This latter we'll is in
the neighborhood of 1000 feet deep
at this writing, and it is expected
that something is liable to turn up
any day now that will prove for all
time that gas in commercial guam
titles is here in the Loop. .yWesthope

into politics would lead to the cry
OF too much Landis," and injuriously
affect Charles's gubernatorial chances
but the congressman was for his
brother, Fred. nevertheless. He was
willing even to lose his own seat in
congress in order to see Fred get to
the front. Fred got there. but served
only two terms, owing TO a political
upheava in his district, and is once
more in private life. II Kenesaw

gested-you may depend upon II that
the other Lands boys, every mothers
son OF them, will be for Kenesaw

the way they are built.

one assistant, boy of fourteen, who
was willing and honest. One day the
lad was overheard complaining that
his clothes were so shabby he was
unable to go to chapel

making every sacrifice to enlarge his
little shop, but he took small
amount from his carefully boarded
savings and bought the boy suit OF

reason.
