STILL DRILLING OIL WELLS.
In July 296 New Holes We're Success
full Ones

independence, Kan, Aug. 5.-The
tendency over the midcontinent oil
field is toward a curtailment of drilling
operations. And yet there is consid-
cradle work going on. Producers agree
that they can not produce petroleum
for 30 cents and make any money, but
they continue to drill when it is not
necessary
In July 374 wells were drilled. and
OF these 296 were successful oil wells,
SO were gassers and AZ were failures,
While the new production was esti-
mated at 1882 barrels
Comparing these figures with the re-
port for June, there was a decrease of
126 wells drilled; there were 10 fewer
oil producing wells; 10 fewer gas
producing wells and 15 fewer failures
The loss in new production was 4246
barrels. The average of the July pro-
duclng wells was SOL barrels, The
average of June wells was 4S.1 bar
rels. MARGINS average production was
51.4 barrels which was the largest
average attained this year.
In Kansas there were SO compile
tons; were producers, 26 were
gassers and 4 were failures; the new
production was estimated at 240 bar
rels. In June there were 80 compile
tions, 3 producers, "a gassers and s
failures, while the new production was
only so barrels. Kansas does not get
very far from the beaten path any

JUST WATCH KANSAS.
Says Col. Nelson and You Can Tell
What the Country Will Do.

Beverly. Aug. 5.-CoI. w. r. Nell
son of Kansas City dropped in" on
President Taft at Burgess Point
Thursday afternoon. On his way out
to the presidents cottage the colonel
said he was not going to talk poll
tics If he could help himself. Sub
sequent reports from the front porch
overlooking the waters of Salem bay
indicated, however, that a hearty ex-
change of greeting was quickly fol-
lowed by an earnest discussion of re-
cent events in the political world.
President Taft and Colonel Nelson
have been friends for long time.
Their divergent views of the Payne
Aldrich tariff act have not severely in
terfered with their personal intimacy.
Colonel Nelson probably had some
burning thoughts to convey to the
president and there appears to be lit
tie doubt as to the actual conveyance.
He was interviewed by a group of
newspaper men as he was on his way
to see Mr.. Taft.
What about the results in Kan
sas?' was the opening chorus from
the newspaper group.

They think progressively out there
and they act progressively. People
in the east don't understand Kansas.
But just watch Kansas and you can
come pretty close to seeing what the
rest of the country will do.
MANY Republicans seem to think
that the Republican party is made up
of a majority of the voters of this
country. In that they are wrong. The
Democrats have never put up a can
didate for president who ought to
have won that did not win. Take
Cleveland and Tilden for example"

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 5-Frires of
insurgency which swept Kansas, Tues

in Missouri and in measure will die
tate the course of the party in this
state.
Governor Hadley, who has long been
credited to the insurgent column but
has refrained from speaking because of
his close relations with President Taft,
is expected to declare himself.
The Kansas primary, together with
the congressional contest in Kansas
City, is said to have sounded the death
l1nen of Senator Vim. Warner. The
party leaders have had a notion for
months past that Warner would have
to be replaced in the senatorial race

other good roads men to attend and
assist in the booming of good roads.
This promises to be the big good roads

is fourteen years old, and is always at
tended by from 5000 to 1900 people,
and the attendance will be particularly
large this year on account of the fea-

The picnic always includes an educa-

coming feature, carnival attractions,
and fine musical programs.

Two to Oppose Warner.
There are but two candidates for the
senate in sight to oppose Warner.
One of these is Walter S. Dickey Of
Kansas City, who is expected to enter
the campaign as an insurgent. The
Republicans approached on the subject
did not appear to notice any humor
in tn thought of Dickey, sometimes
referred to as the head of the sewer
pipe trust, running on an insurgent
platform.
The other available candidate is
Hadley himself. He wants to go to the
senate, but is credited with being op
posed to entering the present cam
paign because of slim chances for the
election of any Republican.
There is no dispute that the next
state senate will be Democratic. This
is assured BY, the number OF holdovers
and the number of men who are GER

ton on the Democratic ticket at
