Does Beaver County Want
Oil or Gas.

THE HERALD is in receipt Of letter
from the Benton oil Company, Of
Tulsa, Oklahoma, who propose to cril.
for oil and gas in Beaver county, south
Of Beaver, il they can secure the right
kind Of encouragement They have
already secured lease on several
hundred acres Of land between Six
Mile and Home Greek and along those
streams and they will commence drill

port OF Beaver County people, who
ought to jump at the chance % invest
few dolars in project of this kind
Shares in the Company sell for 81 90
each aud who is there who owns land
in Beaver county or has a business
established here but who might not
well afford to take a good block Of
stock. Il wouldu' cost any Of us very
much and suppose we struck the oil or
gas or both? Whew Wouldn't we
go some them Why we'd need a half
dozen stub lines 20 bring IN the inves
tors and spectators who would crowd
this way and old Beaver county would
come into her own in a way that would
make the rest Of the state sit up aud
take notice.
Several expert opinions have been
given that oil or gas or other valuable
natural deposit underlies this section
aud that il but needs development to
prove the truth Of the statement Now
is our chance to make good test Of BE-

and see what they can DO.

Much Talk About Santa Fe
Extension.

In many Of our exchanges we find
items similar to the following, all re-
porting an early extension Of the San
"a Fe from Englewood, Kansas, to
Beaver While the plans and manip-
ulations Of the great railroad corpora
tions are largely kept exclusively to
themselves yet, where there is so
much smoke there is bound to be som e
fire" and IL locks like there 10 some
thing to al this Santa Fe talk. At
any rate, we must keep our eyes open
and not sleep on our opportunities
Among the latest press reports is this
The Englewood branch Of the Santa
Fe will be extended from Englewood
TO Hansford, Texas according to the
latest railroad gossip. This extension
seems preferable which was contem-
plated several months ago.
This latest extension would go from
Euglewocd 10 Beaver City Oklahoma,
probably would be routed from Beaver
City through the Gray section and
thence to the Texas city. Another
route is along the Beaver River to the
mouth Of the Palo Doro, then across
the Texas Plains TO the South Cana

NATURAL GAS KILLS
SEVEN IN EXPLOSION
Injuries Eight Others and
Wrecks Apartment House
in Cleveland.

Cleveland, Dec. IA natural gas
explosion in two story apartment
house at 116l6 Madison av. tonight
killed seven persons. seriously injured
eight, and wrecked the building. Win
dows for block around were broken,
and persons IN drug store across the

injured by broken glass.
A strong odor Of escaping gas had
been noticed in the vicinity. A photo
graph studio occupied the first floor

The gas became ignited there.
The explosion blew out the walls Of
the building, and the wreckage caught
Are. Firemen dragged the dead and
diving from the building at the risk of
1bejr livcs. Most Of the injured were
boyribly mangled, having had arms or
leos blown off. Some Of the dead were

him TO withhold their wheat from the
market. Their failure to keep this al
legged agreement prevented him from

Joke ON HARVARD MEN
Chinese Laundryman the Hit
of the Football Dinner.
fBy TeleKraph to The Tribune.

Boston, Dec. 14.-"Professor Soong,
Of the Imperial University of China"
who was the hit of the Harvard alumni
dinner TO the football team at the Cop
ley Plaza on Friday evening, is back
at his regular job in laundry. But he
can chuckle TO himself and know thai
he is the first man TO have made Percy
D. Haughton, head coach Of Harvard,
laugh out loud at public function, and
for additional glory he can claim the
distinction Of fooling the Harvard foot
ball players more than all the lateral
passes and fake punt formations that
Yale used during the last year. For
Professor Soong isn't from the Imperial
University at all, and most OF the one
thousand Harvard alumni who heard
him at the dinner we're fooled.
The heads who combined to make the
Harvard dinner the most notable ever
held decided on the Chinese feature
and coaxed the laundryman into the
scheme.
When the time came for the "im-
perial professor" 10 give his impress
sions OF Harvard and Yale football
"Bob" Benchley, who translated the
professors remarks, had only to tug at
his sleeve to start his task, and a pinch
on the forearm was the sign for Pro-
fessor Soong 20 stop. Then Benchley
translated "ad lib" and he put "g"
on the "lib" when he did IL.
