has also a 60-foot stack OF ffreorics
and steel, the purpose of which Is
to aid combustion
-Being an up-to-the-mtnute incfn-
orator. the plant cannot be expected to
burn garbage containing large por-
tions of water" however, he said In
cities where this or other incinerators
have been erected means have peer
taken to mix garbage with rubbish oi

manner adopted in most cities. lhs

The furnace is built in units so arrang-
ed as TO accommodate several UNITS

put into the plant in whole. The gar
bage and refuse platform is so arrang-
ed that the trucks can dump their en-
tire loads into the furnaces without

According to the sporting writer of the Fort Smith Times Ash down has a duplicate Ty Cobb, however an interview with the man accused, he claims that he has been over-esti- mated. The article follows:
 Another Cobb that will attempt to take away the laurels of the family now held by Ty, manager of the Tig- CTS, will break into the professional game this season with the Little Rock team.
 "The new Cobb is a product of this state and has made quite a reputation in college ball, playing first base for his Eastern Alma Master. His moth CT told the minister to call him Jacob B.; at the christening and at present he is cashier of the bank at Ashdown, Ark; in which family is heavenly in- terested. He is veritable young giant, q years of age, stands feet 4 inches in height, weight 190 pounds and although shining at college as a fielding and batting star, his greatest reputation was for feetness of foot being one of the best men of the track team. He has accepted terms with Bill Benton, who sells oil and gas in addition roping likely youngsters out of the bushes.

OIL GUSHING 30 FEET
 OVER TOP OF DERRICK
Fl Dorado We'll Still Gushing Forth Rich Oil; 20,OOO Barrels Per Day
 is the Estimate.

Fl Dorado, Jan. 12. - With the stream of oil from the Busey Daniels we'll which came in gusher Monday afternoon, still shooting 30 feet above the top of the derrick at noon today, average estimate of the wells produc- tion had been placed by reliable oil men at 10000 gallons daily, fifteen thousand barrels of oil, it was estimat- ed, had flowed from the, we'll up to l o'clock Tuesday and was damned up in a ravine an eighth of mile long and 200 feet wide. Men who concurred in the estimate of 10000 barrels in- cluded MT. Clark of the Homer field, MT. Josie. of Shreveport, with the Standard Oil Co.,, Chal Daniels, driller of the Busey-Daniels well, and Cleve Love, field man for the Constantin Re- fining company.
 Trading in leases, which had come to stop with the coming in of the we'll, was resumed today with ad- vances in prices ranging from 300 to 800 per cent and there was much ac- tivity.
 Work on damming the lake of oil was continued today, but it was evil dent that if the amount of the flow continued it will be too great to hold At one time a part of one dam gave way and it flowed into the Rock Is- land pond nearby.
 A crowd of 500 people from Shreve- port, La., was expected this afternoon. Two trains from Oklahoma City and Texas points with added equipment are due between t2 and 1 o'clock to- night. Ell Dorado is making an ef- fort to care for the crowds and accomo- dctions are being obtained in private homes.
