Wen No. 10 being drilled by the
Iowa-wyoming on company in the
Bolton field which will test the south,
eastern end OF the field has reached
a depth of 100 feet according Ia
word received at the company offices
today. A log OF the hole indicates
that the formation to the 1.l00-fooi
level identically conforms in every
detail with the other deep test wells
in the field.
With this favorable Indication II is
highly probable that the Embar sand
which has been found a lucrative pro,
Queer in Bolton will be tapped and
the southeast II of the oil reser-
voir opened.
Progress being made In drilling the
hole now Indicates that the well will
be completed to the producing sand

SENATOR is IN TROUBLE
BY IMPOSING SILENCE
Tells Eight Hundred Persons In Great
Confidence That He VIII Save
the Cattle Men.

Washington, D. C. - Senator John
B Kendrick, of Wyoming, is in a peck
of trouble.
In the first place he is Democrat
and that is source of trouble in a
Republica administration elected by
a popular majority of eleven millions.
He also attempted to lead not only
his Democratic colleagues but his Re-
publican ones as we'll into supporting
a packers bill partly fathered by him
SELF He was to be the great savior of
the cattle and sheep men from the
ravages Of the Chicago meat packers.
But just as he was about to put it
over the ground slipped from under
him and the safe and sane House bill
regulating the packers was adopted as
a substitute by majority of three
votes and Kendrick was left in the
lurch.
But the chief reason TO rthe peck Of
trouble is that he wrote confidential
letter to eight hundred perosns and
instructed each of them to keep a
state secret.
He wrote this letter to bankers and
stock men with the evident intent of
interesting them in the passage of a
bill proposed by Republican Senator.
He, Democrat in Republican Sen
ate, thought to interest these men in
bill proposed by him authorizing the
War Finance Corporation to lend $780,
000,0 900 for the relief of the live stock
interests
"As a member of the Committee on
Banking and Currency have been
actively interested in such bills as
have come before us looking toward
relief for our live stock and farm in
terests," he says. "The Bursum BILL
among others before our committee,
provided for the employment of the
earnings Of the federal reserve banks
as loans to the live stock producers.
It seemed to me that the plan could
not fail to be beneficial to the live
stock interests If put into effect and
the money loaned with as little delay
as possible, conditioned, Of course,
upon necessary discretion and good
Judgment as to the security"

But so he was. And the Bowery AS

ming in his honor to raise $4,000 for

which will be used to maintain the

New York. Even a $4,000, 900
home is not enough to lure indoors
all Of the curb brokers of this city,
who have grown to believe that no.
where but the crowded, noisy, open
street is the only truly thrilling place
In the world to make thei rbids and
sales. And sa we are not, after all,
going to lose that scene which for
more than a century has fascinated
the sightseers in New York. The New
York Curb Market Association has
officially moved into its Wall Street
palace. But the outsiders who refuse
to be tied to any such unpicturesyue
responsibility have obtained an in
junction to prevent anybody from
sending them in off the street and
there they will remain, dealing in
their securities in the lively way they
choose. Since 1892, those out-of-door
tradings have been carried on in the
middle of Broad street and from the
windows of tn Glow brick rookeries on
the east side of the street where the
curb brokers have their offices. The
brightly colored caps and headbands,
worn by the street men, whose shrewd
keen faces made the headgear all the
more grotesQue have been one of the
curiosities of the street to visitors.
Thy could connect them only with a
joke of some sort. But there was no
joke in it. They were the means Of
easy Identification for the clerks in
the windows above signalling down
their orders to their own particular
traders. And we are still to have them
