department of insurance had made syvol-
untary settlement of the claim brought
against him by Attorney General Mil
Ter is denied by Mr. Leutz as incor-
rect, so far as his relations with the
matter are concerned. It appears that
the amount of the claim was handed
to Mr.. Leutz' attorney by the bank to
which certain of the exchange charges
or checks had been allowed: and the
attorney paid this amount to the state.
Mr.. Leutz personally holds that his ac-
ton in allowing exchange charges on
checks was in keeping with usages Of
the department which had been regu-
larry approved by all governors up to
that time, and was not illegal in any
way.

in the removal Of two large water

preparations 20 Light Town.
Westhope.--The preparations being
made here by the Great Northern Gas
& Pipe Line Co, for heating and light
Ing this city. are being watched with
interest by residents Of many points
Throughout the state. The company is
piping gas from the Parker farm, nine
miles south, where 1t has we'll sup
plying over 100000 cubic feet per day.
This gas Is said to be remarkably dry
and clean. possesses high pressure, and
can be forced through the mains in
sufficient quantities for heating pur-
poses, as well as for lighting the resi-
dences of Westhope and adjoining
farms. on many Of which 1t Is already
being used.
The gas is to be brought in through
four and one-quarter iron pipe, and
distributed over the city by means of
the belt system" BY this arrange
ment there are no dead ends, but q
continuous flow of gas through every
main. The price will be so low that
the gas will be used for both fuel and
lighting purposes by practically every
one in town.
There are other gas wells in this
territory and the company has q re-
serve of five other wells and has not
given up the quest for additional sup
| ply.
The fact of having nm unlimited
supply Of cheap gas at hand will be Of
great economic value in a land where
kerosene sells for 20 cents a gallon,
anthracite coal for $12 a ton and btu
minous for So. The pipes have been
laid from the we'll to the city and most
Of the street mains have already been
put down.
The price Of the gas for domestic
use will be 40 cents a thousand cubic
feet, and as the gas contains twice the
number Of heat units found in the
manufactured article, it will be equal
to manufactured gas at 20 cents a
thousand. For manufacturing pur-
poses and milling the price will be
from cents to Is cents a thousand,
according to the amount used, and as
natural result this will be a good
field for certain classes of manufac-
turing for there seems to be an unlim-
tied supply of cheap and convenient,
fuel

all. 1t was thin book containing. 176

he said, contained considerably more
