KANSAS PLANS FOR
RETURNING HEROES

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 5.-As, the
Kansas boys begin to come back
from the war, and the problem of
placing them on the Kansas farms.
already pretty thickly populated. is
considered, the boys fathers are tell
ing how it was done when they re-
turned from the war, following de-
mobilization of the Union army.
I The conversation usually leads to
the conclusion that there is no land
left in Kansas for settlement by the
returning soldier who has little be-
sides his strength and determination
as capital.
There is some land still unhome-
steaded in the extreme western part
of the State, but it is not suitable for
farming. Somee of II might be
made suitable by irrigation, but no
young man who needs to farm for
a living could afford to do the ir-
rigating. It would have to be un-
dertaken with public money, and II
is fairly certain that there won't be
a lot of public money available for
the purpose when the boys get home
as they already are getting home.
VIII Reabsorb Men.
Kansas boys went will reabsorb most
of them without much difficulty, just
as most of the rest of the country
will reabsorb most of its quota Of
soldiers, leaving the unemployment
problem not much worse than 1t was
before the war, after peace conditions
have taken the place of war condi-
tions. The question of displacing
"Oman labor is not SO important in
Kansas as in the manufacturing
States
When the boys came back from the
fcivil war, Kansas was practically all
virgin prairie, and the homestead law
offered the returning troops such in
ducements to take up claims in the
new country that they swept into
the State like flood. Kansas had
sent to the Union army more soldiers
than she had voters. without the use
of conscription. When those who
were left alive from the sixteen Kan
sas regiments returned, they were ac-
cOmpanicd by tens Of thousands OF
strangers who had fought for the
Union.
The Kansas State Historical Society
estimates there were 1J0,0OO war vet =
Grams in the State in 1885. other
thousands had come and gone during
the twenty years between the close
of the war and that date. Many
had been chased back East during
the first few years of their settlement
by armies OF grasshOppers that for
aged the country much moro thor
oughly than any Of the boys in blue
had foragcd the invaded South.

TELLS STORY ABOUT
OIL FIELDS OF TEXAS
Thurber. Texas, June Is, 1919.

ihuIotTs ieAds, June 10, 1919.
Dear Mr.. Ayres: Since leaving
Winnemucca last Christmas / have
been doing considerable moving
around. l left Philadelphia on the
18th Of March and visited Canton and
Columbus. Ohio, and from there went
to Louisville, KY, and New Albany,
Ind, just across the river. There /
went to work for my old employers,
the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company.
They sent me up near French Lick,
Ind, to work bunch of small towns.
/ stayed around there about six
weeks. then came back to New AL
bany and resigned my job. A couple
of days later was on my way to the
Texas oil fields. l stopped off at
Tulsa. Okla, a day and it certainly
was worth while. That is the pref
tiest, newest and cleanest city / have
run across anywhere. The town has
around 100000 population and the busi-
ness houses are such as you would
expect to find in city of half a
million population. The residence
section is beautiful and the houses
are all new. You do not see any old
shacks or dirty tenement houses any,
where. From Tulsa l went to Fort
Worth and Dallas, Texas, then out
here to Thurber. about seventy-five
miles west of Fort Worth. I got
here about three weeks ago and
landed a job with the Texas Pacific
Coal & Oil Company, who are the
largest owners and operators in the
Ranger oil fields. They control sew
eral counties in this section and have
around 100 wells that are producing
from 100 to 10000 barrels of oil per
day each. They have more than that
number drilling and are starting new
ones every week. Their largest WELL
the Norwood, came in at the rate of
$4,000 barrels day. but has dropped
off some since then. The stock of this
company was quoted in New York
recently at $4,000 a share. The CON-
pany headquarters are located in
Thurber, where they own and ope-
rate five or six coal mines. We have
big branch Office and warehouse in
Ranger, which is about twenty miles
west of Thurber. l went over there
a few days ago with the boss and. be-
lieve me, the town of Ranger is sure

BAD MINING CAMP

RENO.-when Ray Baker. director
of the United States mints, dropped
on in his home town yesterday en-
route to San Francisco, he hit the
trail straight for "Stingaree Gulch"
and cast critical but admiring eye
on that rapidly rising amusement
camp. Mr.. Bakers interest in "Stsn-
garee Gulch" lies close to the heart
strings. for it is being modelled as
closely as possible after the canyon in
which the famous mining camp of
Rawhide, Nevada. is located. and it
was in Rawhide that Mr.. Baker once
staged a wild west show of his own
that broke all records for "wooliress"
and has never since been equalled
even by the blood-curdling bad men
of the Los Angeles motion picture
studios.

novelist, was the motif for the

years ago. during the Rawhide boom.

ACCOMPLISH MUCH
TO CUT down FIRES

Ii was decided at the special meet
ing of the City Council, held last
night, to accept the proposal of the
Public Service Commission that the
city pay monthly rental for fire hy-
rants and water. This rent to be fixed
by the commission, presumably at IS
per month per hydrant, as is the case
at Elko and other Nevada cities.
There are several considerations
winch prompted the city dads to take
UP the proposition. In the first place
IL is almost certain the Public Service
commission will decide that the Win
nemucca Water & Light Company
must have an increase in revenue. II
is thought the payment by the city of
$500 per month rental will cause the
commission to lower the rates
asked for by the water company.
Secondly. the Public Service Com
mission promises adequate water for
fire protection il the city enters into
the arrangement The commission. il
was said. will instruct the water COM
pany to Immediately put In an auxil-
iary reservoir above the site of the
present lower reservoir. Then new
water mains are to be laid. not only
along Bridge street but on side
streets. giving pressure at all hy-
drants of between eighty and ninety
pounds. There are now thirty fire
hydrants and the city proposes to put
in ten more in different parts of the
city. need of which is felt keenly.
This will cause an expenditure by the
water company of $4,000. it is
estimated.
Perhars the paramount reason for
the decision to pay hydrant rental. If
there is reason paramount to that of
reducing fire risks. is the matter of
gaining reduction in fire insurance
rates. At present Winnemucca has
the highest fire insurance premium
rate on the Pacific coast. Negotiations
are already on with the Board of Fire
Underwriters and representatives
of that organization have agreed to
reduce rates If certain provisions are
complied with. The council has even
gone so far as to get a promise that
the agreement for lower fire rates
shall be put down in black and white.
Summing 1t all up. members of the
council are of opinion that ii matters
little whether the city or individuals
pay the increased revenue to the
water company. But if by the city
paying 1t Winnemucca is to get good
water supply for fires, they think it is
good business.
Word was received from the Nevada
Tax Commission that the budget un-
der which the council is working is
found. the tax rate would not produce
the required money to operate the
city for a year. Mayor Brandon is to
look into the matter. set new rate
and forward an amended budget to
the commission. Included in the new
rate will be sufficient to cover the
rental to be paid for fire hydrants.
Then came up the matter of pre-
pairing new landing field for air
planes. to incorporate within it new
baseball grounds. race track, etc. The
site chosen is directly behind the |
county hospital, commencing at al
point 800 yards beyond. Work is to
commence at once to improve the
land. that it may be ready when six
big De Haviland planes visit this city
