Husband and Wife Both
Saved From Suffering

1 wish to tell you the good results
myself and husband received from DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. About eleven
years ago 1 had a severe attack of La
Grippe and was confined to my bed
about eight weeks under the doctor S
care He pronounced my case kidney
trouble and rheumatism and not re-
ceiviug the results from the doctors
treatment I should have received, I de-
cided to try Swamp-Root. After taking
several bottles of Swamp-Root I was
able to get up and attend to my work
About year later my husband was
affected with a severe attack of kidney
trouble and doctored for some time with
the doctors and received no benefit.
Knowing of the good I had received,
he decided to try Swanlp-Root. His
condition. was such that he was con-
fined to his bed and words cannot tell
how he suffered. but after taking
Swamp-Root he was relieved so he
could go on with his work without pain.
wish to heartily recommend Swamp
Root to all persons afflicted with kid
ney and bladder troubles and you may
publish this letter if you wish.
Yours truly

KATY GETS THE BRAzos VALLEY.
Road Takes Advantage of Legislature
Merger Allowances.

Houston. Tex. March 27.-An an
nOuncement here today indicates the
carrying out of the extension plan of
the Missouri. Kansas & Texas and
shows that that road will soon have Il
gulf outlet at the mouth of the Bra
EOS. The Katy, it seems. has closed
deal for the purchase of the Houston
& Brazos valley railroad. this road
running between Houston and Free
port. the new port being financed by
the Swenson interests and officials of
the National City bank of New York
The road purchased is about sixty
miles in length. and in operation be-
tween Houston and a point on the
Brazos river below Nelasco, known as
Lighthouse. Lighthouse is at present
connected with Freeport by ferry
The closing of the deal is the direct
outcome of the passage of the So
called Katy consolidation bill by the
Texas legislature over the governors
veto. The Houston and Brazos valley
move is the first step by the road to
take advantage of the bills provisions.
The Houston & Brazos valley now has
a trackage lease with the International
& Great Northern from Houston to
Anchor, which lease becomes part of
the property transferred to the Katy.

Kansas City to the Pacific coast,
promises early completion.
In spite of the stormy weather the
new road has now been built from
Gibbon to a point five miles over into
adams county, and, by Tuesday eve
ming the ties and rails will have been
placed to point within about ten
miles of Hastings.
One grading camp has been located
at the new town of Meyerville, two
miles southwest of Prosser, where a
new ten-inch railroad well has just
been completed.
The graders will commence this
week to widen out the grade for the
two switches. requiring an extra mile
of side track, so that two long freight
trains may be accommodated if neces-
sary to let passenger trains through.

AN INCREASE IN MARCH GROSS
Earnings for First Two Weeks Show
Gain of 20 Per Cent.

Railroad gross earnings continue to
maintain satisfactory improvement
over year ago, the total of all United
States roads so far reporting to Dun's
Review for the first two weeks of
March aggregating $13,409,SSS, an in
crease of 70 per cent as compared
with the earnings of the same roads
for the corresponding period in 1912.
Almost every system from which re-
turns have been received reports
more or less increase and in several
instances roads that for the first week
of the month showed loss now make
gains, which indicates better condi-
tions FOR railroad business than have
prevailed in certain districts for the
last several weeks In the west and
southwest the. situation is apparently
very satisfactory, most roads in that
portion of the country making crafty
ing gains. Among these are Missouri
Pacific. st. Louis Southwestern, Texas
& Pacific, Colorado & Southern, Den
YER & Rio Grande. Minneapolis & st.
Louis and Missouri, Kansas & Texas.
Similarly, in the south, the returns OF
the leading systems, as a rule, are
favorahl and the gains reported by
such important roads as Southern.
Louisville & Nashville, Chesa peake q
Ohio and Seaboard Air Line doubtless
reflect considerable commercial and
industrial activity in the territory they
serve. In the following table are
given the gross earnings of all United
States roads reporting to date for the
first two weeks of March and the gain
as compared with the earnings OF the
same roads for the corresponding
period a year ago; also for the roads
that reported for the two preceding
months. together with the percentages
of gains over last year:

In a paper read before the twelfth
meeting of the international Geological
congress at Toronto Canada, August
II, Charles n. Gould geological engi-
neer of Oklahoma City, gave some
Illuminating facts regarding the oc-
currence of petroleum and natural
gas in the midcontinent oil field.
The chief topic of discussion be-
fore the congress this year wds "CCal
and Fuel Resources of the World
Here is what Engineer Gould had to
say in part:
The nidcontinent oil field, as the
term is generally used, includes an
area approximately 200 miles long
from north and south, and 100 miles
wide, located in southeastern Kan
sas and eastern Oklahoma. The lin
its of the productive field have not
yet been sharply demarked and
probably will not be for many years.
"The most northern point at which
oil has been found in quantity is near
Paola, Kan, some fifty miles south
west of Kansas City. The most
southern point is near Coalgate,
Okla. The southeastern part of the
midcontnent field extends from OK
1ahoma into the region Of Fort Smith,
ARK.
"The westernmost limit, as at pres
ent developed is at Blackwell, Kay
county, Oklahoma. The area within
which oil and gas have been found
in commercial quantities, contains ap-
proximately 10000 square miles. In
this area are included some twenty
counties in Oklahoma, and eleven
counties in Kansas, -

to 59,343.S50 barrels in 1911.

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1913-08-18

Senator Clarke's point of view. Ac-
cording to that stateman, the farmer
should be left alone to fight his bat
tie with the consumer, so that the
price may rise after a short crop is
gone. But Senator Clarke and state
men of his kind are not likely to
convert the west, though the west
may be perfectly willing to let con-
gress try it on the dog"
And, after all, how silly it is to
imagine that congress can abolish
speculation while nature continues to
bring forth giant and pigm ycrops, at
her own sweet will. Is there a more
iuyeterate specuator than the far
mcr who stakes his hard cash on the
5icissitudes of temperature and rain
fan? Could there be a greater ca
lamity than to depend upon crops
that had no ready market. and which
must consequently be sold at the
consumers price?
These questions must be answered
by the fanatics whose idea of reform
consists in destruction, root and
branch Sooner or later, congress
will regulate the commercial eX-
changes, Just as it regulates rail-
ways and national banks. The con
tracts and the grades deliverable on
them will be standardized. Not only
so, but the methods in daily use will
be scrutiniZed by the government
expert representatives,. Let us hope
that the south may not be sacrifice d
before the era of scientific legisla-
ton. sets in.

Speculation.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
of August 10, 1913, prints the fol-
lowing:
1t is now evident that this years
crop of corn is to be very short one
and the shortage is made the more
acute by similar shortage in oats
Wheat. on the contrary, promises a
bumper yield.
Corn sold in the neighborhood OF
- cents on the Chicago board OF
trade last winter and oats lowered
above the 3OO-cent mark. But spec
ulation. being free to deal with the
facts. has lifted the coarse grains
til corn stands at 73 and oats at ~
cents. This means, of course, that
the shortage in yield will be offset,
protanto, by the rise in price.
This is doubtless very wrong, from

PLENTY Of OIL AND GAS IN STATE
FOR ANOTHER HUNDRED YEARS

During the past year there has
been more development than ever be.
fore in the history of the field, This
may be ACCOUNTED for by the steady
advance in the price of petroleum. IN
1908 the petroleum in the midconti
nent field sold for 35c per barrel. In
May 1913, the price was SSc per bar
rel and it will probably Increase.
within the past few months there
has been much prospecting in all
parts of the midcontinent field. The
Cushing pool, which bids fair to
rival the world-famous Glenn pool,
first opened in March, 1912. The
daily production in this pool is now
100000 barrels Within the year the
known areas of a number of older
pools have been materially extended
and number of new pools have
come to light.
"A region occupying some five
counties in southwestern Oklahoma,
which has heretofore remained un-
exploited is no woccupying much at
ttention. Within the past year a
number of wells have been drilled
throughout this region. and practi
cally all have produced oil or gas.
Biologists who have studied condi-
tions in this part of the state are
developed may rival the field already
developed in the northeast part Of
the state.
Natural Gas.
"The amount of natural gas pro-
duced in the mdcontinent field is
very great. At least 80 per cent of
all the oil wells so far drilled con-
tain natural gas. In many cases the
wells produce gas only, however, gas
and oil usually occur in the same
sand. In many cases after the gas
in a we'll has been practically ex-
hausted oil will be produced. To
use the drillers parlance the we'll
drills itself into OIL
The capacity of gas wells of the
cid continent field varies up to 50,-
100000 cubic feet per day. Some of
the most extensive gas fields so far
discovered lie near lola, Independ-
ence and Caney, Kansas, and Copan,
Bartlesvile and Collinsville, Okla
homa.
"a we'll recently drilled to a depth
less than 700 feet in the new
field near Loco, Stephens county, in
southwestern Oklahoma, is producing
25.O0O,OO0 cubic feet of gas per day.
The gas from the midcontinent
field is utilized both for manufactur-
ing purposes and for domestic use.
Gas from this field supplies the great
er part of the cities of Oklahoma and
eastern Kansas, and has been piped
as far as Joplin, Kansas City, and st.
Joseph, Missouri Much of so-calle1
casing head gas is now being util
lied for the manufacture of gasoline
or petrol, there being about twenty
five gasoline plants in operation in
the field
Waste Enormous.

field has been enormous. Legislation
has checked, but has by no means
stopped this gigantic waste. At the
present time tens of millions of feet
