Catholic Church.

Father German was in town
Wednesday. He says matters
looking to the establishment of a
church here are growing brighter.
The meeting of Catholics last
Sunday was well attended and all
agreed that this city should have
a fine church. John Foley, A. R.
Kane and John Treiber were ap-
pointed a committee to work with
the Bishop and Father German in
securing a site and arranging
other details, such as financial
pledges. Father German says he
has a site in view that would be
very suitable. A large house
stands on this site and in.case of
its purchase the house would be
converted into a hospital. In
that case a sister of Father Cor
man, who is a trained nurse, would
likely come from the East and
take charge of it. A hospital is
needed here.

BARTtESV|LLE R. R.
To BAXTER SPRINGS
All Details About Completed
Ready to Start Con-
struciion Work, Say
Backers.

The Construction of the cleo
trio railway, between Bartlesville
and Columbus, with a branch to
Baxter Springs, seems near from
information given out by the
representatives of Oklahoma
& Northern Traction company.
A telegram to the promoter, F.
M. Overlees, from. his Philadel-
phia representative, announces
that all the details for the sale of
bonds and a $4,000,000 loan to
build the road had been agreed
upon. The final contract, accord
ing to this same telegram, is be-
ing sent with special delivery for
his signature. 1t is expected that
the contract will be signed and
returned some time this week,
and as soon as this is done money
will become available.
According to Mr.. Overlees ev-
cry detail of the plan has already
been worked out and agreed up
on. Even such detail as the "go
between" between the bond buy
ers and the railroad company
who would pass favorably on both
loan and collateral, is chosen.
The contract for steel has been
made, and in case the war situ-
alton interferes with the factory
delivery of the contracted goods.
it is said that there is plenty of
relay steel that can be had <ot
construction of ths, road.
Since these details are Wo1 1
out, the road is financed ana ~
construction seems certain. Inc
north end of the central division
will be built first, beginning at
Miami. The company will be
ready for the right-of-way IN 10
or Is days between Miami and
! CoTn ynnrca Tho h,1ainooa mems
league of Miami has agreed to
furnish this. 1t is thought that
the line will likely run along the
Miami Commerce road. This win
require the widening Of the road
10 feet. If it can be had at a
reasonable price the new COM
pany will take over the o. K. &
I'M. Main street track at Miami.

trio Line.

The Southwest Missouri Inter
urban Railway Company has
been temporarily enjoined from
running its line through Wood
lawn addition, which by recent
act of the Galena city council

At Columbus, Friday, the case
will be argued and the court will
decide whether to dissolve the
Injunction or make it permanent.
Mr.. Rogers, president Of the rail-
road company, has stated that
any other route would be i'm
practical, and if the right to 60

denied the road will not be built,
Notwithstanding work on the

OIL Strike 8 MILES
WEST OF BAXTER
Experts Say Another Tulsa
Field Is Probable
Zinc and Lead
Strikes.

Oil has been discovered in @
hole 240 feet deep on the farm OF
w. A. Porter, nine miles west and
q little south of Baxter Springs.
This Is in Kansas. The men who
are familiar with the oil fields Of
Tulsa say that this is going to be
a second Tulsa. The well goes
through a rich face of zinc and
lead blend. 1t is situated right
at the bend west of Tarr river.
1t appears that the hole was
drilled some years ago and the
oil was discovered then and final
ly for some unknown reason it
was cased and left idle. Recently
a friend sent to A. ]. johnson, of
Springfield, Mo-, and. informed
him about the hole. The hole
was located at once, the plug was
removed and oil dipped out.
Steps will be taken to continue
drilling for oil.
Adjacent to Mr.. Porter's place
two rich strikes of zinc and lead
were made Tuesday. What prom
ises to be a good strike was made
on Morrison's land north of Bax-
ter Springs. A fine strike was also
made on Mead farm on the Che
topa road and on the Hunter
place.
On the Crawford land, east of
Quapaw, ore was encountered at
a depth of lao feet which is
claimed to test % per cent. Ben
F. Wurzel, of Joplin, is associated
with the firm operating this field.
The Lucky Kid Mining Co. is
building a new $50 ton mill on
Ports land. The work is being
pushed ahead and it is expected
to be completed in two months.
Last Monday drilling was
started on Beal's land west of
Baxter Springs.
Miami Zinc Syndicate is plan
ming to begin an extensive pros
pecting campaign as soon as drill
srs are obtained. This company
controls three-fourths of the land
from the west edge of Baxter
Springs to the Blue Mound mines
and from the state line to the
Chetopa road. These people are
using fourteen drillers at present.
Drilling will be started on the
Gov. Crawford farm by c. P.
Williams, of Miami, some time in
the near future.
Contracts have already been
let for the Lucky Jack mill to be
built Immediately in Hockerville.
Two 15O horse boilers are already
on the place to be bricked as soon
as construction work begins. A
shaft 12O feet deep with about 20
feet Of ore has already been sunk.
Three others are started. Six
residences have been built and
the place is named Hockerville,
in honor Of L. c. Hooker. Three
of these buildings are occupied,

Found Beer in Jig Tanks

"There are more ways than
one to skin a cat," is an old say
ing that might be applied equally
as well to the methods used in
transporting booze from Joplin
into bone dry Kansas and Okla
homa. The latest devise discov-
cred, but probably in use for a
long time, is to employ old jig
tanks. Perhaps you have seen a
good many on the road, moving
back and forth. Monday Galena
deputy sheriffs held up two Of
them that were moving toward
Baxter and searched them. In
the bottom of each compartment
they found beer stored, thirty
cases in all we are told. The
beer was stored away back under
the flare of the tank SO that the
casual observer would fail to dis
cover it. The beer was confis-
Gated and the drivers arrested

LONCSHOREMEN
after CONTROL

Steps toward the protection of
U. s. shipping on the Pacific coast
from enemy plotters and spies, and
the demand for return TO the So
called "close shop" basis, we're the
two big questions before the dele
cations to the annual convention
of the Pacific Coast Longshore-
mems association when they met
in the Labor Council hall at 1920
Monday.
Nearly 40 delegates, represent
ing 10000 union longshoremen on
the coast, attended. Vancouver,
B. c., Seattle, Portland and San
Francisco were represented.
Charles Holoua, a Hawai-
ian, his bronze face wreathed

ma all the way from Homo
lulu for the convention. He
is president of the Honolulu
union, representing k7OO
members, and was leader OF
the strike which the long,
shoremen won there last sum-
mer.
On the need of proper protec-
ton of war shipping on the coast,
where large supplies of munitions
and food are constantly being
handled, probably will be based
the demand for the return to the
closed shop basis.
Since the longshoremen's strike
last summer the so-called open

coast ports. Employers have es-
