The following resolution was unan-
imously adopted by the Board of Di-
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce
last Saturday.
WHEREAS, We recognize that Kan
sas is one of the great oil producing
states of the Union. That Shawnee
County and this part of the State has
not been thoroughly and fully tested
for oil and gas, and that scientists and
practical oil men are agreed that the
field in this vicinity should be devel-
oped.
We believe that the Wa-peka Oil &
Gas Co., which is composed of reliable
men of the County and City, Will give
us a thorough and complete test, and
will leave no doubt about the existence
Of oil or gas in paying quantities.
THEREFORE, BE 1T RESOLVED,
That this Chamber of commerce lend
its moral support to the Wa-peka Oil
& Gas Company, and that we recon-
mend and urge the individual mem
bers of this organization. and the cit
liens of the City and County to give
this company their active and finan-
ciaI support. We believe 1t will be
money well spent to know whether
Topeka can be furnished with oil and

Grain receipts were too heavy yesterday

heavy. The effect on the speculative mind
is largely against the bull or the sustain

feeling prevailed a week ago when prices
were lower. vet there was an advance. due
to covering by shorts, after the Monday
break. 1t was the impression of those
friendly to the huying side Of corn and
oats that the markets will become oversold
within a few days. and then the values will
act the same as of late. Those who are
