reaching a depth of 5000 feet, or a

shoot the well where the last oil sand
was picked up, this was at 3175 feet,
the showing of oil from this sand

getting a little stronger each day.
The management is quite sure of
getting even a small well at this
depth.

be sent out,

VANDALS HAMPERING
OIL COMPANY

A notice signed by H. NJ. McQuigg
of the Traders Oil Corporation, APP
pearing on another page, gives some
information which will cause a gasp
of establishment to escape the people
of Liberal and the southwest.
According to this notice, efforts
have been made to hamper the COM
pany in its development work, and
has caused barrier to be placed on
all who wish to visit their tests.
The acts complained of were at
tempts at blowing up the boilers and
throwing junk into the hole at the
Bunting well southwest of Liberal.
Mr.. McQuigg would not comment
upon the occurrence other than is
stated in the signed notice, but that
this is fact will not be pleasing
news to those who have waited long
and anxiously for a completion of
the tests which mean so much to Lib.
eral and the southwest.

TOPEKA, Jan. 90 Republican
politicians from all over Kansas seem
to be more interested in the proposed
Encouragement of the congressional
districts than in anything else that
may come before the present legisla-
ture.
Almost every man has plan of
his own for cutting olt congress
man, and the map makers are busy
in all the Topeka hotels. However,
the accompanying map seems to be
causing the most comment, and is
meeting with the widest approval at
the present time. That some such
arrangement, as is shown, will be
worked out seems entirely probable.
Under this reapportionment scheme
the only real objections that could
be made would come from the First
and Second districts. 1t will be
noted that this scheme would take
Wyandotte county out of the Second
district and place it in the first, while
Shawnee county would be taken from

Also, under this arrangement, the

thrown into competition would Re
Ed Little and d. R. Anthony.
Another plan has been worked out
to leave Wyandotte county in the
Second district, and Shawnee in the
First, and combine the Fourth and
Fifth districts. However, this plan
does not seem to be meeting with
as much approval as the one shown
on the map
In some quarters it is expected
that most of the Kansas congressman
will make it a point to get home
within the next few weeks to find
out what is going to be done.
The Encouragement is made neces-
sary by the fact that congress, voting
to hold its membership to the pres
emit number, makes necessary elimi-
nation of one Kansas and two Mis-
souri, representatives.

Ordinarily n human being is much

A cougar Is an abiect coward and
some men are not. But Snowbird felt
herself entirely capable of handling
any human foes. They would have no
advantage over her: they would have
no purpose in killing from ambush;
and she trusted to her own marks
manship implicitly. While 1t Is an ex-
tremely difficult thing TO shoot at n
cougar leaping from the thicket. tall
man standing on trail presents an
easy target. Besides. she had n vague
sense of discomfort that If this animal
were cougar, he wasn't acting true
to form. He was altogether too bold.
The animal on the trail behind her
was taking no care at all to go silent
ly. He was simply pit-patting along.

ton Rotten Stone Has Been Found
Most Satisfactory.

Many substances are used In the
operation of tapping pistons Among
them are fine emery dust, ground glass
ana rotten stone, of which the latter
gives best results. When the glass is
used there Is always possibility that
some particles of it will become i'm
bedded In piston or cylinder metal.
Racing drivers use rotten stone, mixing
little cylinder oil with 1t to form
thin paste. In tapping the piston
it should be given both reclprocating

fear that men have instilled in his

that is why she instinctlvely tried to
hurry on the trail.
The step kept pace. For long

every step 1t made. Then, as the
brush closed deeper around her. she
couldn't hear it at all.
She hurried on, stralning to the
silence. No. the sound was stopped.
Could 1t be that the animal, fearful at

then for the first time a gasp that
