pARTy PA WERE RESERVED

The other members of the party were reserved MT. Gardner said that little more was known about the situation, but that developments were expected 10 follow.
 'rhe drillers went three feet fur ther into the sand" said MT. Gardner, but nothing developed from this. We can tell nothing about the prospects until the bore goes deeper into the sand This drilling will be resumed Tuesday and the sands will be shot with nitroglycerin. By shooting the well, I mean that nitroglycerin Will be exploded at a great depth This has a tendency to unloosen the oil in the porous sandstone that contains the oil.
 "The well is not a gusher, and there seems to be no great gas pressure But there are some wells that are pumped and yet produce yield of 200 barrels a day.
 "There is one that I know of which gives 300 barrels of oil a day inter jected Mr. Head. However, I have never heard of well that was not flowing which had a greater yield
 While it was evident that talk Of building a refinery was premature from the present developments it was said that there is a great field here for one.
 E. L. Pauley, representative for the Standard Oil company in Birmingham, stated that the great corporation would gladly enter into such proposi- tion if oil in sufficiently large quanti- ties was struck in the Alabama ter ritory
 REFINERY PROPOSITION
 "rhe Standard Oil company would gladly erect a s1,OO0,000 refinery in Birmingham if the Cordova fields should yield a sufficiently large pro duction,' MT. Pauley stated. "Birming- ham would be an ideal location for refinery. The Standard Oil company is now erection s1,oOo,000 oil refinery at Louisville. The company has not had one of it's experts to look over the Cordova well and no report of this na- ture has been made. There is noth- ing that has developed thus far that would give any hope for refinery in this city. A big field in Alabama would interest me greatly"
 But until the developments at Cor dova are very much more encoura ging. he stated the talk of a refinery was futile.
 When appraised of the views of Mir. Skelly the Birmingham men who are interested in the developments stated that this did not alter their opinion of the situation They said that rH fair opinion could De expressed untn the drillers had gone further into the earth, possibly until the Knoxdolo- mite sands were hit at depth of $500 feet. They persisted that the oil was of high grade.
 It was stated that perhaps he might have had ulterior motives in making such disparaging report of the oil field.
 Regardless of this attitude, it was announced that developments would continue at Cordova.

.EXTRAVAGANCE BY YOUNG
SPENDERS IS CURTAILED

BERLIN, May 31.-The commandant
in Brandenburg Province has followed
the example of other military COM
mandants in various places in Ger
many by an order designed to stop ex-
by young spenders. Per-
sons under eighteen years old will
hereafter receive only eighteen marks
OF their weekly wage and one-third of
any amount in exces sof that sum. The
rest must be deposited by the employer
IN a city savings bank to the credit of
the owner not to be touched until af-
ter the war Only in cases where it
can be proved that the young wage
earner's family needs all his Cor herr
wages will special exceptions be made.

WAR BRINGS A BIC
INCREASE FOR IRISH

DUBLIN, Ireland, May 91.-Irish ex-
ports have increased considerably on
account of the war. The official re-
turns just published for the year 1914
show total of 77,3O0,OOO pounds, an
increase of three and a half million
pounds over 1918. The increase is due
almost entirely to the shipbuilding at
Belfast.
1t is a curious feature of the report
that although "a per cent. of the Irish
exports are represented by farm pro-
duce and foodstuffs, thirty-seven per
cent of Ireland's 100000 pounds of
import should be food, and the depart
ment of agriculture comments point
eddy ON the fact that food-producing
country should be annually importing
great quantities of farm produce, much
of which is admirably suited for rails
ing at home.
On the whole the report is regarded
as a gratifying record of continued
progress in Ireland. In addition to
the increase in exports, the decade has
also witnessed an increase of imports
by So per cent in value and twelve per
cent in bulk. The total imports and
exports of Ireland, in fact, now repre-
sent a higher per capita value than
the average for the United Kingdom,
the United States, France or Germany.

CHICAGO, May 30-The sum of $685..
100000 will have been expended by
several of the great railroads operat-
irg in the Chicago district when the
new freight and passenger terminals
now under construction are complet-
ed. The freight terminal will be fin
ished in about six more months but
it will take nearly three years to
complete the passenger terminal.
The freight terminal will embrace
laying of trackage ON stretch cover
irg twelve city blocks, from the Chi
c&go river south to Twelfth street. The
plans for the terminal were so arrang-
ed as to give a maximum speed and
convenience of handling freight with
a minimum of ground space necessary
for the buildings involved. The work
is being done by the Pennsylvania
lines West, and will cost for land ac-
quired, building material and labor,
approximately $16,000,000 and the
finished work will be one of the
greatest accomplishments of its kind
in the history of modern railroads.
The aim of the builders was term
inal that would be so arranged as to
eliminate street congestion in handling
traffic and would make speedy and
easy the handling of the enormous and
steadyily growing freight business of
Chicago This result will be accom-
plished by close grouping of the sew
eral parts of the terminal structures
and by placing the railroad tracks be-
low street level with the freight house
just above the tracks, at street level
and with a storage warehouse above
tie freight house. The idea of placing
the component parts of the new term
iual above one another was to save
ground space and to make the handl-
ing of incoming and outgoing freight
easy by system of powerful, modern
type electric elevators.
Adjoining the freight house, and
all under cover, will be eighteen
tracks, which will accommodate 4OO
freight cars. Inclosed driveways will
protect freight and freight handlers in
all sorts of weather

the heavy riling and concrete foun-
datlons, and some putting up the
structural steel framework of the build
ings. About 25 per cent of the
structural steel work remains to be
finished. This will be in about six
months and the total cost of labor, by
that time, will, it is estimated, amount
tc about $1,5OO,OOO.
The steel, brick, concrete, piling and
terra Gotta that will go into the build
irgs will cost about $2,5O0,O00.
The structures will occupy ground
space of 45O by $50 feet between Polk
street on the north, and Taylor street
or the south between the Chicago
river and what was once Stewart Ave
nue.. Acquisition of the ground thus
used cost the railroad company $12,-
100000.
The union passenger terminal, on
which preparatory work has begun
and which will be completed in about
three years, will cost about 0,0000 900
and will be the finest railway passeng-
er station in the world, it's projectors
say. 1t will be built and occupied by
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
the Pennsylvania and the Chicago
Burlington and Quincy roads, thu
Pennsylvania being represented by tw
branches, the Panhandle" and The
Fort Wayne.
The station will be composed viz
tually of two buildings, with common
facilities of egress and ingress. A main
building will be west of Canal street
ard concourse, between two sets of
tracks, will be east of Canal street.
Each of the two buildings will be sur
rounded by four streets, thus giving
eight points of exit and entrance to
passengers and making access to
trains quick and convenient. Train
sheds will extend from Madison street
south to Harrison street.
The architectural features of the
main building will be waiting room
100 by 300 feet and 100 feet high. The
building will occupy ground space
of 1926 by $50 feet. The train sheds
will be of the latest covered-in type
and will eliminate columns in the
center of the platforms.

Emporia Teachers VIII Play Ichabod
Quintet in Washburn Gym.

Tonight the Washburn basketball
team will play the Emporia Normal
quintet in the Washburn gymnasium,
the game being the last on the local
court for the Ichabods before they
make their tour to Salina, Lindsborg
and Mcpherson next week.
Tonights game will start at 1880
and a lively contest is anticipated.
The Normals are going good and in
the race for the state title, and the
Ichabods are very anxious to win at
least one game from a strong team.
Coach Gray's men have been given
all the practice they could take this
week, and are reported to be stronger
than they have been since the season
opened. Their team work is better
and they are more accurate at goal
shooting. On the other hand, the
Normals are still feeling the sting of
the defeat they received at the hands
Of the Aggies and will probably try
for big score to bury it under.
