In order to give employment to men
who are now out of a job, Wilbur \.
StanfieId,N city commissioner, of water
and electric light, plans to have the
hydrants of Topeka given a coat OF
paint in the near future.
Normally, the work should be done
next spring, butthe job will give en-
ployment to seven or eight men, for
quite a while, and I think the hydrants
might as well have one coat now, >
Stanfield says.
Stanfie1d has sent out for bids on
the paint required for the job-it will
require some fifty gallons. and if the
prices he receives are satisfactory he
plans TO have the work done while
men need jobs.
It has been five years since the fire
hydrants We're painted. Another coat
will probably be given to them in the
spring.

"On King" Forester Leaves
State Temporarily.
He'll Spend Winter on Ranch
of 100000 Acres.
BUILT HIS OWN RAILROAD
Private Rolling Stock Provides
Every Necessity.
Catarina Name of Town Found
ed Near His Home.
BUILT HIS OWN RAILROAD

Sylvester Forester, Kansas oil king
| and muIti-millionaire, who won big
! lawsuit in Topeka a few days ago, is
( this week moving his family from
Wichita to his Texas ranch for the
remainder of the winter.
This ranch which Forester pur-
chased about two years ago from
dent, is located about rs miles south
of San Antonio and consists of $50, 600
acres. Altho his oil holdings are as
extensive as ever, and Forester has
several deals pending which he says
will run well into six and probably
seven figures, he has for the past few
months been spending much of his
time in improving and developing the
Texas ranch which he expects eventu-
ally to make his permanent home.
There are on the ranch at the pres
ent time $4,000 head of goats, 1O,OOO
cattle and / 900 mules which are con-
fined in the 26O,00O-acre space by 1856
miles of five-strand wire fence. more
than enough to extend from kansas
City to the Colorado line. mansion
of twenty-five rooms, which Taft built
for the accommodation of his many
eastern friends, will become the win
ter home of the Forester family, but
that does not mean they will give up
their home of similar proportions at
Wichita.
Railroad Thru Ranch.
Forester has built a railroad thru
the center of his ranch with side
tracks and sheds to provide shipping
facilities and to house his private roll
ing stock. Catarina is the name of
town which Forester has founded
near his home. The point has been
named as a postoffice by the govern
ment and Forester has put in his
own store. Forester recently startled
the natives down there when he
shipped in sixteen barrels of linseeG
oil which he used in painting the vari-
Gus buildings he has constructed on
his ranch during the past few months.
Paint is something seldom seen in
that part of Texas but Forester says
he has spent more than $4,000 for
that purpose since last fall
Plan Trip Around World.
One job of painting was the appl-
cation of a coat of wine color to one
of his private railway coaches which
he says is being made ready for
trip which he and his family are pre-
pairing to take around the world. For
roster doesn't know when they will
start but says the trip will be made
during the coming year. His other
private coach, the one that was for
merly used by eX-President woodrow
Wilson, is at present tied up for re-
pairs at Dayton, Ohio.
Before getting into the oil game,
Forester was engaged in the motor
car business at Manhattan. Prior to
that he was a farmer and stockman
at Wamego. His original oil invest
ments were in the Peabody field which
he brought in" about four years ago
but since that time his holdings have
spread to other parts of the state and
into Oklahoma and Texas.
