OIL NOW DIsPLACING COAL.
NIidcontinent Field Supply Cuts in on
Anthracite Demand.

Washington, Feb. Goal mining
in Oklahoma and Texas suffered heav-
| lily in the fiscal year 1909 on account
of the competition of crude petroleum
! from the midcontinent field of Kansas
and Oklahoma.
While the figures show that there
was a slight increase in coal produc-
ton in Oklahoma they show also that
there was an actual decrease in Texas.
| A geological survey report issued
today gives the coal production in
! Oklahoma in 1908 and 1909 as 2,948,-
| 116, and 3,119.377 tons respectively.
| The increase Of 171,261 short tons, or
| 5.S per cent was less than might have
been expected from the normal de-
velopment of the regions dependent on
Oklahoma for fuel, and seems still less
| as representing a recovery from the
depression of 1908. The production
output of 1907 by more than half a
million tons.
In 1909, for the first time in eight
years, the coal production of Texas
quence of the notable development in
petroleum resulting from the bringing
in of the famous Lucas "gusher" in
January, 1901, the output of coal
in 1902 fell off 90 per cent from the
preceding year, but it gradually and
steadily recovered until in 1908 the
production was more than double that
of 1902 or 1908. The relapse in 1903
was also due to the invasion of petro-
leum, this time from fields outside the
state.
The midcontinental field in 1908
produced 4S,323,S1 barrels of crude
petroleum, and in 1909 approximately
S., 900, 900 barrels, of which probably
about 10 per cent was used for fuel
and was equivalent to a displacement
of approximately 100000 tons of
coal
Aside from the natural advantages
possessed by oil in ease of handling
and in freedom from cinders and
ashes, there is another reason for Ere
ferring it to coal. During recent years
the consumers of coal have had regu-
lar biennial Interruptions to their sup
ply of fuel by the controversies be-
tween the operators and the miners
over the wage scale. There is no
doubt that the consumers are becom-
ing tired of these shutdowns and are
inclined to welcome other fuels of
which they may be assured steady
supply.
The effect of the competition of oil
and gas in 1909 was exhibited in the
decline in price for Oklahoma coal
from $2.03 a ton in 1908 to 50 in 1909.
In fact, the year was far from salts
factory to the producers, for while
prices were lower mining expenses
were enhanced by a drouth from June
to December, which made it necessary
to haul water for the boilers at some
of the mines.

DAWSON BLASTS THEIR HOPES.
Tells Leavenworth That Liquor EHe-

Tells LeavenwOrth That Liquor Eae-
ment Need Not Expect Easing Up.
Leavenwortn, Kan, Feb. Tn a
speech here last night at the Baptist
church Attorney General John S.
Dawson destroyed all the hopes of
ton as to where his administration
will stand upon the question of the
enforcement of the prohibitory law.
1t has been rumored here that under
Mr.. Dawson's administration there
would be an leasing up on the liquor
situation. Mr.. Dawson came to Leav-
enworth for the purpose of putting the
citizens wet and dry alike, straight on
the proposition.
IT deserted my desk in the attorney
generals Office he said, ito come
over here to this goodly city of Leav-
enworth for one purpose only and that
is to correct an impression which has
been industriously circulated in this
town and county and elsewhere along
the eastern border of the state of Kan
saS that there is to be an easing up
in the vigor of the attorney generals
department concerning the prosecu-
ton of offenders against the prohibit
tory law. Whoever has assumed to
cultivate that impression has spoken
without authority and whoever has
INDUCED that hope is foredoomed to
disappointment.
Although I have had little to do
with the prosecution of jointists per-
sonally, 1 am proud of the part that
L took in the custer suits against the
brewery companies during Attorney
General Jackson's first term and the
modest part which I had in the custer
suits against the mayors and other
derelict officers for non-enforceme emit
of the prohibitory law. While I have
my own idea as to how the law is to
be enforced and shall carry out my
own policies in my own way, I have
nothing but commentator to say of
the brilliant and successful work of
Attorney General Coleman and Attor-
ney General Jackson, the former
/ revere as father, the latter 1 prize
as personal friend. But the bril-
liant and distinguished work of At
torney General Coleman in ousting
Mayor Rose, of Kansas City, and other
derelict officers for nonenforcement
of the prohibitory law is done. The
splendid and effective work of Attor-
ney General Jackson in ousting the
brewery corporations and suppress
ing the open saloon is accomplished.
The work now to be performed is diff
ferent. We are confronted with the
problem of the bootlegger, the hole in
the wall. the blind-tiger, the f1y-by-
night key party, and so on, and in the
nature of such a problem 1t must be
dealt with very largely by the local Of
hcers, and the most effective part
which the attorney general can take
is to see to it that the local officers
shall do their duty. The changes
which l am endeavoring to institute
are those of method rather than of
policy and it is my purpose to empha-
size the duty and responsibility which
the law imposes upon the local Of
ficer elected or appointed to enforce
the law"

PEACH CROP HAS SUFFERED.
Unreasonable Weather Responsible for
TJnfayOraF1le ReDOrtS

OnAtttOrstDAC fCcpOrtSs
Wellington, Kan, Feb. THE
freezing weather in January sounded
the death knell of the peach crop in
this county, according to the opinion
of Carl Young and his father, H. A.
Young, who have just returned from
visit to their fruit farm near Port
land.
The Youngs shave more than 500
peach trees. 1--WE did not find single
live bud said Carl Young. I'm my
opinion there won't be a peach in
Sumner county this year. And think
the conditions we found on our farm
are general over this section. 1t was
that hard freeze in January that did
the work. Rs
Salina, Kan, Feb. Fruit grow
ers of this section are about convinced
that the 1911 peach crop has been
killed. Unseasonably warm weather
followed by a freeze, sounded the
death knen of the crop, it is said.
This will mean no small loss to the
fruit growers of this section. Other
fruit is reported unchanged.
E1Dorado, Kan, Feb. Butler
county will produce no peaches this
season if reports from fruit growers
now coming in prove true. They say
the recent warm weather caused the
trees to bud and that the ensuing
freeze completely killed the crop. 9th
er kinds of fruit have suffered no dam
age as the trees have not budded.

FACTS ABOUT LEAvENwoRTH.
Chief Taylor Writes Stubs a Letter
Regarding Conditions.


Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. Recent
ly Chief Taylor of the police depart
ment received a letter from the gov
ernor of Kansas asking concerning the
conditions here. Following is Chief
Taylor's reply:
Absence from the city is my apology
for seeming neglect in replying to your
letter of the 24th inst.
ct take this opportunity to state to
you that no city in the state has been
SO unjusly censured and misrepresent-
ed as LeayenWorth, and much of 1t
has come from overzealous persons re-
siding in our midst, temporarily we
hope, who see things that do not ex-
list. A comparative statement of facts
will suffice to show that the laws Of
the state and city ordinancese are be-
ing enforced without fear or favor.
During 1908 there were lao arrests
made by the department, 513 of them
were for drunkenness In 1909 there
drunkenness. In 1910 there were 1,1.0
arrests, 349 were for drunkenness.
There are no saloons or joints, so
called, in this city today, nor has there
been for many months. That there has
been intoxicating liquors sold in the
city during the past year, no impartial
man will deny, but such sales have
been made clandestinely, just as has
been done in every other city and town
in the state.
1.-The officers and men of this depart
ment have been most efficient in en-
forcing the law and, notwithstanding
the severe criticism made by self-ap-
pointed regulators, the records show
that their duty has been well done.
Respectfully, J. T. TAYLOR,
Chief of Police

who has just arrived here on board the

there were 1876 second cabin passengers

goes to make a first class cabin trip

These things, as we all know, are the
most fruitful causes of failure in all
walks of life. The battle of Waterloo
this quick age our minds must be
clear, rapid, active and free from out

constantly growing older and less use
