HIGH PRICES FOR OIL
LEASES IN EAST GEARY

Junction City, July Sit is re-
ported on good authority that un-
usually high prices are being paid
for leases on land in the eastern
part of this county and across the
line in Wabaunsee county by some
of the big southern Kansas and
Oklahoma oil companies. Several
especially favorable farms have been
leased at $3.50 per acre, while
there is at least one instance where
a farmer received SIS per acre cash
rent. Another landowner, for whose
property there seems to be strong
competition, refused an offer of
$3.50 per acre and is holding out
for SO.

yesterday and afforded some relief
from the heat wave, which has been
the worst in fifteen years. Roughly
the new high pressure area brought

a change of a few degrees.
Topeka, Aug. IA heavy rain

Two are known to be dead and

Scores OF persons were injured,

The detonations, which were
felt in five states, began with a com
tinuous rapid fire of small shells,
then the blowing up Of great guam
titles of dynamite, trinitol, tuline
and other high explosives, followed
by the bursting of thousands of
shrapnel shell, which showered the
surrounding country and waters for
miles around.
Fire that started soon after the
first great crash destroyed thirteen
of the huge warehouses of the Ma
tional Storage company, on Black
Tom island, in which were stored
merchandise valued between $12,-
100000 and $15,000,000. The
flames, shooting into the clouds,
were reflected against New York's
