such action is taken, twenty days will

to pay the workmen.
If the court will allow Receiver Apt
to pay the workmen without referring

Valley Southern railroad, which was
recently built from Pecos to Saragosa,
sixty miles. will be Immediately extend
ed from the latter place to the foot of
the Davis mountains, passing through
the town of Balmorhea. 1t is planned
to extend the road still further south
to either Maria or Alpine, where it will
connect with the Southern Pacific. The
distance from the proposed terminus
of the extension to Alpine is about fifty
miles, and the same distance to Maria.
The Alpine route will probably be Sc

fact that the Kansas City. Mexico &
Orient railroad will also pass through
there, and by connecting with it the
Pecos Valley Southern would obtain a
direct route into Mexico.

DEVELOPING GALEsBURG GAS.
Plans Under Way to Begin Drilling
Shortly

Galesburg, Kan. Nov. lot. w
Wright has been up from Henrietta.
Oklahoma, a week and will soon
have drilling rig here and further de-
velop the field southwest of town that
he has under lease, and the first well
probably will be drilled on Sam Reeds
place. With another gas well, as good
as the one on Mr.. Shaw's place, there
would be an abundance of gas to sup
ply Galesburg. Mr.. Wright also is de-
Veloping field near Henrietta, Ok, and
is busy man, which probably accounts
for no work being done in the Gales
burg field, but we now~think Mr.. Wright
has motive and will start the motor.
The gas well that went wrong last
week is now said to be better than
ever before. Wick Julian and J. R.
Crocket did the work and it is now
thought there will be no further trou-
BILE.
The Caney Oil and Gas company To-
Gated at Chanute, has decided to dis
continue further operation in the field
north of town and have returned the
leases. They drilled two wells north
east of town and both were busters.

The Hanover Canning Co. Put Up
Over 1000 Cans of Products.

Inc hanover Canning 90. PuJ UD
Over 100000 Cans of Products.
Hanover, Kan, Nov. 10.-The Stand
erd Canning company, successors to
the Hanover Canning company, has
closed for the season. The proprietor
and manager, William Doebele, is
pleased with this years output, which
was as follows: Corn, $4,000 cans; to-
matoes, 10000 cans; apples, in gallons,
$4,000 cans. The canning season usual
ly starts up in August and closes with
October. The crop of corn was light
this year, on account of the season.
Last year this factory turned out about
220, 600 cans of corn. The prices for
canned goods are better this year than
for many years. This canning COM
pany started in business in 1904. The
outlook for 1911 promises a much larger
business than the season just closed,
from the fact that many additional
growers of products to be canned will
engage in raising them. During the
season many young girls find employ
ment, who earn from 81 to $1.25 a day.

 "I have promised no place to any man. I have made no pledge of any kind with reference to the offices it will be my duty to fill if am elected governor of Connecticut
 This is the reply of Mr. B. J. Lake to the declaration of w. T. Hartman that he has promised all the offices times over It is the reply of MT. Lake to the story in the Hartford Times to the effect that Mr. Lake has promised to make Frank E..

 MT. Lake made further statement as follows: Pa" Corbin, the present ef- hcient tax commissioner, is serving a term which will not expire until July l. 1915 There will be no vacancy in that office for the next governor to fill.
 With reference to the office of highway commissioner, a. friend of Commissioner James H. Macdonald asked me to promise that if elected to the sovernorship I would reap point Macdonald. I declined to make any promise whatever and I have made none in reference to that office Or any other. I have very high re- gard for. Commissioner James H.

JACKSoN's

The attraction at Jackson's theatre Friday and Saturday will be the big fun, song and girly show, ''The Tiger Lilies'' Co. with Matt Kennedy, ''Ev- erybodyis Favorite." The program which is a long and varied one, opens with an exhilirating farce with music, called "A Hot Night in the Rockies '' by MT. Kennedy, who is responsible for the comedy throughout, as we'll as in the closing act of the performance, and is the forerunner of a series of four high grade vaudeville acts in- cluding two special imported Euro pean novelties, which provide just a taste of the varieties for the fasti- dious. The big closing spectacle, a travesty by John Saunders, called "A Pr1nce's Affinity, may be aptly des- crtbed as blaze of glory from a scenic and costumed point of view, while the display of female loveliness is said to be the most remarkable ever connected with a similar organi- zation. Zallah, "The Dancing venus'' is an added attraction with this com pany and will be seen in the cast of the last act as Fairy Princess. the Affinity" of the title. Fun and song reign absolute throughout, and beyond its magnificence of production it is one of the few shows of it's kind that can please all classes of healthy minded people.
 An event of unusual importance will be the appearance here at Jack sons theatre on Monday and Tues day August 29 and 30 of Elsie Fer guson in a new four act play "A Matter of Money" under the mana ge- ment of Henry B. Harris
 The theme deals with the empIoy- ment of child-labOr--in many ,of the great American industries, and while it is not a problem play, it furnishes an accurate picture of the life of the little tofler. The human interest in the play is dominated by a young Mill-superintendent who is striving to ameliorate the conditions surround ing the hands, but is hampered by the policy of his employers Miss Fergu- son, than whom there is no more charming. and at the same time, for cible actress on the contemporary stage, has the role of a rough and undeyeloped mill-girl, whose fine qualities are gradually revealed by the interest mapifested in her, by the young Superintendent The mere mention of such names as Miss Fer guson, Helen Macbeth, Maggie Field inng. Frank Mills, Paul Everton, Franklyn Hurleigh and Harrison Forbes, ought to convince theatregoers that the production of this play by Henry B. Harris will be worthy of their highest consideration
