tension division of the agricultural
college has been visiting many of the
shops and factories of the state con-
sulting with the overseers and super
intendents and enrolling students in
the correspondence course in me-

several days in Leavenworth and
spent one day in the state prison.
Through the courtesy of the chaplain
he interviewed many of the convicts
and as result several of them have
undertaken some of the trade courses
offered by correspondence.

oiI Boom Near oIathe.

Charles Thompson, representing an
oil concern, filed twelve oil and gas
leases with the register of deeds,
on farms near Stanley, ten miles
southeast of Olathe. The length of
the leases vary from 10 to 20 years.
They require drilling within one year.
Stanley and the neighborhood have
furnished their own gas for seven
years. Both oil and gas were found
in abundance by a home company in
1905, but as at that time oil was
worth only 80 cents per barrel the
wells were plugged up and attention
was given only to gas, of which there
has always been big supply. Now
that oil is worth 81 a barrel the new
concern will drill, for it exclusively.
One well which has been plugged up
for some time recently was uncapped
and proved to be productive.
