country's Best Army post.

Leavenworth, Kan.-Fort Leaven-
worth within the next two months will
have been made the largest army post
in the country. Two companies of the
Second battalion of engineers are due
to arrive from the Philippines this
week, while it is thought one battal-
ion of the Ninth infantry will come
here for station the last of the month.
There is a possibility, too, of the en-
tire Ninth being stationed at the local
post. The Seventh infantry, which
came from the Philippines four months
ago with badly depleted ranks, now is
recruited to its capacity, while all 9TH
er organizations at the post are filled.
The government plans to make the
fort one of the most important in the
country, and millions of dollars will
be spent with that end in view.

KANSAS TOPICS
NEW KANSAS GAS FIELD?
Investigation Soon to Be Made Near
Arkansas City.

Arkansas City, Kan.-Kansas Will
soon have new oil and gas field. 1t
will be located east of Arkansas City
in Silverdale township. This winter
w. A. Radley has taken out oil and
gas leases in and around Silverdale
in the name of B. e. Lawdow. Mr..
Radley has secured over 5000 acres Of
land and he or his representative is
still leasing. 1t Is expected that he
will have from ten to twelve thousand
acres of land in Silverdale township
alone AS soon as few other tracts
of land are secured it is planned to
ship in the drilling apparatus and be-
gin work. The parties interested in
the lease freely predict that both gas
and oil will be found in big quantities
in Siiverdale township. Mr.. Radley
informed a newspaper man some time
ago that there was plenty of gas and
oil close to Arkansas City if indica-
tons counted. All that was necessary
to get it was to make the proper in
vestigation.
