not much of farm plat his parents

furnished. Love would beautify it.
They would work together and save,

PENROSE NOMINATES
 SMITH FOR MAYOR

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2l.- Philadelphia Republicans have nomi- mated former postmaster T. B. Smith for mayor and November ? they prob ably will elect him tc the office. Every indication is that the Penrose organi- zation will have things it's own way once more, which is a pleasant thing for the organization since two hun dred million dollars worth of munich pal contracts will be awarded during the next mayors term. Lack of unity among opposing forces seems likely to make matters easy for the city g. O. D. managers, while the unity in the latter organization is marvellous, to be- hold. Smiths nomination at the primary was made a certainty by the withdrawal of all but one other can didate just late enough to prevent disgusted independent Republicans from offering another name. A repetition of the coup by which Blankenberg was elected is not an ticipated, since the unity seems all to be inside the old guard.

NEW OIL FIELD IS
 FOUND IN KANSAS

ARKANSAS CITY, Kans., Oct. IT, This city is the proud parent of the youngest oil territory in the Mid Continent field and oil men from all parts to this section are swarming in.
 The excitement started when test on what is known as the Alberti place developed thousand barrel prOduc- ton at 3,4OO feet with only six feet of the pay sand penetrated. No soon- CT did the Alberti we'll show this big production than rigs began to go up on all sides and races for further pro- auctions are now going on night and day. An electric plant has been con structed on the field. The landscape for several miles around at night sparkles with electrical equipment.
 The flow of gas at the Alberti has been so strong since the we'll was brought in that the drillers have not risked try at taking the tools out or a trial at going deeper in the sand. It is considered remarkable for the flow at so shallow a puncture of the sand The field remains underlined and there is a wild scramble for leases in every direction and fabulous prices are paid in many instances. In a scattering way the operations cover a distance of 25 miles along a strip of developed natural gas territory from the southwest to the northwest of this city.

800 WORKERS
 DIGGING HERE

More than five hundred men are now working for wages or by contract in the district surrounding this city and much difficulty is found from time to time to find men for jobs. It was pointed out today that never has town been so perfectly cleaned up of working people but, lest this state ment should be taken as an invitation to others to come, it is safe to say that the district has more men work ing now than it will have in a short time. The government railroad com mission has more than two hundred employees of all kinds and is still in- creasing the force gradually. Con- tractor Quinlivan has put on gang on his wagon road contract and will also increase it. When A. H. Case went out drilling for the Miami com- pany some days ago he took men who had only just arrived few days before. In the Sunrise and Hope sec tions a very large number of men are working. On the newly discovered and rich quartz ledges in Moose Pass some men have also recently found employment. On the Kenai river, Cooper creek and countless other streams placer work is proceeding we'll while on the Kenai Alaska and other quartz mines gangs are busy. A few business men and others who are we'll posted on the activities Of the district were asked their opinions to- day of the number of men employed and the smallest estimate was live hundred. They also seem to think that the coming winter will find the workingmen of Seward in far better condition than has been the rule since the Alaska Northern construction work ended.

ALL WILLING TO HAVE
 BALLAINE CASE HERE
West and Haight, Attorneys on Both Sides, Leave Seattle for
 Valdez Today.

Judge S. o. Morford received a wire this morning from Attorney Haight that he and Attorney West leave Seattle today for Valdez to take up the case of the Alaska Northern Railroad against the Ballaines. Haight is one of the attorneys for the Ballaines and West is for the railroad. On arrival at Valdez an application will be made to have the trial of the suit transferred to Seward. While West opposes the pOstpOnment of the case to November he is not opposed to Seward as the scene of the trial. The only hitch apparently comes from the fact that the Seward term will not begin till the first of November.

Turkeys
 First Alaskans
F. w. Small Has GObbler Phenom That Makes Alaska
 History.

The first turkeys ever to be raised in Alaska, so far as can be learned, are now thriving under the care of F. w. Small of this city. Mir. Small has 4 young birds living and sees no reason why the raising of turkeys could not be carried out successfully. A more remarkable fact about Mir. Small's turkeys, however, is that he has a hen turkey which has beaten entirely the laying record for Alaska and has probably beaten the record for all lands. This turkey has laid sixty-one eggs this year. She began laying in May and kept it up to yes terday when she laid again. She will probably continue unless the city council passes an ordinance stopping or confscating her. The largest number of eggs ever laid before in AL aska in the same period by any gob- bier was twenty-one. The Small phenom has been setting and laying, and laying and setting alternately all summer.
