LOOK INTO FUEL OIL.
Commissioners VIII Go to Kansas
City to Investigate.

President Lewis of the Topeka Fuel
Oil company and the city commission
ers will go to Kansas City tomorrow
to investigate the fuel oil supply in
that city.
Before the city of Topeka grants a
franchise to the new fuel company
the commissioners wish to investigate
conditions in other cities. The Topeka
Fuel Oil company controls a number
of oil plants in Kansas City.
There is a disposition among some
of the city officials to laugh at the
fuel oil proposition. City Attorney
Ralston, who ruled at the start that
the company could not enter Topeka,
believes that a thorough investigation
should be made before franchise is
granted He fears that the franchise
might be obtained by one company for
investment purposes and for selling
rights.
Mayor Billiard and other city COM
missioners, on the other hand, are
pushing the proposition. They believe
that the people of the city should
have a cheaper fuel and they are do
ing all in their power to have the oil
piped in the city before the cold
weather.

MAY LOSE LANDS.
New Law Likely to Make Trouble for
Owners.

State Auditor w e. Davis is wor-
ried for fear many of the settlers on
public school lands will lose their
homes as a result of the change in
the laws regulating these lands and
the interest payments on the same.
Formerly the law required county
clerks to notify tenant of the ma
turity of their interest payments in
writing and have the summons served
by the sheriff. But the new law does
not require any notice at all. When
the payment is due and remains I'M
paid then the land may be sold with
out further formality under process IF
law.
The semi-annual reports of the
county clerks in the school land coun-
ties indicate that many of the set
tiers have neglected or forgotten their
payments and Mr.. Davis is afraid that
these settlers will lose their homes
that they have paid interest on for
many years. He wants to give them
all the warning possible in lieu of the
change in the law. Il don't want to
see these people lose their homes if
I can help it." said Mr.. Davis today
The new law does not consider any
notice of delinquency at all. The set
tier must pay or lose his home.
hope all the settlers will look up their
interest payments and be sure they
are in the clear.

Station ZAP Stamp Sales Gain 6
Per Cent in Year.
For 1911 $IO,998.I4 Worth of
Stamps Sold.
INCREASE OF S624.56.
Indicates Greater Population
and More Prosperity.
Large Attendance at Open Air
Services.
INCREASE OF s624.56.

A gain of about six per cent in
stamp sales at Station A is shown by
the report for the postoftloe year clos
ing June 80, given out today by POST
master A. E. Robinson. The sale of
stamps for the period mentioned is
$lO,998.14. The sale of stamps for
the year ending June go, 1910, was
$40, This is S624.5 more, or
practically six per cent increase for
the year ending June 80 1911.
This indicates more prosperity and
increase in population within the last
year. Although the report shows that
North side people spend about $1,000
month for stamps, it must be re-
membeTed that the greater part of the
sales come from the business houses.
However, the amount of stamp
sales, if Station A were in q separate
town, would put the postoffice in the
second class, with 4 salery of $1,000
a year for the postmaster.
The increase in stamp sales also in
dicates that people are travelling more
and that more outsiders are moving
into the First ward The more people
visit in other towns the more let
tiers are sent out from the home folk.
The visitors form friends and upon re-
turning home correspondence follows
In case of a young man meeting
young woman in a neigkbOring town
letters are often exchanged. However,
while the stamp booming is all right,
such courtship correspondence IS as
tame as champagne with the bubbles
left out, giving those concerned real
pain when it proves without results.
The money had better be spent for
flowers, theater tickets ETC., for the
North side girls and thus encourage
home industries. These remarks are
also applicable to the matrimonial bu-
reau devOtees.
Seriously, the increase of stamp
sales indicates that the houses on the
North side are filing up and this is
backed by the reports of real estate
men.

A good deal of discussion developed
over the report from Washington late
Saturday afternoon of the Secretary of
War on the McCrosson bill aimed to
secure the water rights on the oahu
military reservation. The report is
that the secretary did not com'n,l him
self in favor of either the prcscnl lease
holders, the WahiaWa Water Company,
or McCrosson, but stated that the wa
ter company has the best rights, al
though McCrosson has made the best
offer 1t is generally felt that the sac
rotary feels that the Wahiawa com
pany has such good rights that Con
gress should be very slow to grant Nc
Crosson his desired lease.
