New Hotel Not Condemned

.NSW .AIOtCl ANOt SOhuCluuCu
Progress on the new Goodeagle
Hotel block was halted recently
by the discovery that the first
floor was settling. This report
led to the rumor that the struc-
ture was about to tumble down
and had been condemned by
state authorities.
The situation proved to be not
so bad as rumOred. H. F. Som
mGr, a supervising artictect, was
employed and he pronounced the
supports too light for the burden
OF material going into the build
ing. This architect set about to
have the fault corrected. Plans
are ready now and all the present
light supports will be supplanted
by concrete supports of ample
strength.
The architect assures the
owner that all the present defects
will be remedied, so that when
completed the structure will be
perfectly true and safe. A mis-
take was made in the beginning
in not employing a competent
architect.

TREECE, KANSAS,
A BUSY TOWN
One of Several Thriving Com
munities in New Mining
field

freeze, Kas., a year ago con-
sisted solely of a big sign stuck
up on the broad prairie at point
about a mile and a half northwest
of Picher, on the land of d. S.
Chubb, on the Kansas side of the
line dividing Kansas and Okla
homa. t..-
Today Treece is a village Of SOC
or 400 people with probably TWEEN
ty business houses. Surrounding
the town on all sides and coming
right up to the incorporate limits
are mines and mills in operation
and the stores are enjoying a
lively patronage every day from
the people employed and living
in the locality.
The town was started by j. o..
Treece of Baxter Springs. He
has already sold all the lots in
the original townsite and is at
present awaiting the laying out
another tract adjoining, before
offering more lots. The townsite
company is drilling a deep we'll
and a good two teacher school
has been provided.
The growth of Treece in the
past year is not exceptional to
the general growth of the Kansas
Oklahoma mining field. Every
where the prairie is dotted with
new shafts and mills and several
new townsites are filling up with
stores and dwelling houses.
This development, which in
magnitude and speed is perhaps
unprecedented in the history Of
the United States, a year ago was
confined wholly to the Oklahoma
side. Today it is at its height on
the Kansas side, coming toward
Baxter Springs with a rapid
stride.
Hooker, not more than two and
half miles distant, is already a
thriving village and directly to
the south is the the town of On-
tario with any number of new
mines and mills and the big
smelter, near by, now under con-
struction.
Baxter Springs is the central
business point for this new field,
and as the development advances
this city will be surrounded by
mines and mining settlements.
The future growth of Baxter is
as sure as death and taxes.
