PART OF THE REASON WHY GAS IS HIGH
This means that almost 4G per cent of the
total receipts of the company was net profit.
To see the significance of tbis( it is necessary
In look into the matter of capitalization.
This corporation was formed by the com-
bination of approximately 15,000 acres of gas
rights. These gas rights were turned into the
company in return IVr the total capital stock
of $4,000,000, and in addition $50,000 of bonds
of the company. In addition, since that time,—
during the past year the company added to its
holdings another 10,000 acres oi gas rights
which cost it ill cash, $50,000. I poll this basis, ThlH is the love story or ti Birl who

■tnte. This company does not distribute gas
to consumers, but it is the source of supply
for Oklahoma City, Guthrie, Chandler, Shaw
.nee, and many other smaller cities along its
roihe from the gas fields to the capital, and its
„'os lie iis a first factor to all the thousands of
users of giis in these cities.
This company was organized in 190(i, with
an authorized capital of $4,000,000. lis hold-
ings comprise about 'J5,0()0 acres of gas pro-
ducing lands ia Washington, lingers, Nowata,
Tulsa, Creek and Nowata counties, and include
a very small amount of land in fee,—the value
being listed in the report its ti little over $5,000.
The'chief holders of the stock of the company
nre residents of Pittsburg, A. T. Braden, the
president, being the largest stockholder, and
several gas and oil corporations having large
holdings, all with headquarters in Pittsburg.
1>. Hastings of Tulsa, the general manager, C.
]!. Ames of Oklahoma City, and Gen. <'. Priest-
ly of Bartlesville, are the only Oklahoma men
who appear among the large stockholders, the
two first named being on the directorate.
The report shows that the contracts with
the distributing companies in the various cit-
ies call for a payment to the Oklahoma Natural
(Jas company oi' (><> •J-.'l per cent of all bills for
gas for domestic purposes, and 75 per cent of
all gas bills for manufacturing purposes. The
amounts used and the prices paid therefor to
the Natural (Jas company for the year ending

fered enither to pay for her admis
fiion to a convent or to marry her. She
cleverly chose the tatter coarse. For
ten yearn she was at the head of Scar-
ron's household, attracting the bright-
est men and women of France to her
salon and reigning as queen of her de-
formed husband's smalt literary world.
From her Creole origin she was affec-
tionately nicknamed "The Little In-
dian."

bonds, and $50,000 in cash, or $125,842.77 more a'"1 hideously deformed. Scarron of-
than the amount set out in the investment ex-
hibit. Consequently this amount is to be de-
ducted from the net amount for actual invest-
ment, leaving the amount less than the face of
he bonds.
Accordingly, it may be safely stated that
the business of this company last year, after
paving ill I interest on the bonds representing
the actual cash invested in the equipment, paid
a profit of $227,710.41 on an actual investment
of fifteen thousand acres of gas rights, worth
approximately $75,000, according to the com-
pany's statement of the cost of similar rights
last year.
At this rate, the property will pay for itselt,
including all the initial investment, and all the
bonds, in about six years, and in addition pay
an annual income of six per cent on all the ae
hull cash investment at present shown by the
books. And in less than fifteen years more-
supposing only that the rate of use ot its pro-
duct remnins at the point reached last year.—
that total $4,000,000 of stock, issued in the be
ginning for the gas rights on fifteen thousand
acres of land, will be worth par in actual asset?,
and will have paid meantime in dividends, over
$1,275,000.
W hen it is remembered that approximately
70 per cent of the money paid by the people
of several cities of the state for gas goes to ac-
complish this result, the importance to them
of tlie facts becomes apparent. Reducing the
average price paid by consumers for gas by
one-third would reduce the profits of the com-
panv about one-half, leaving it approrimately
$114,000 per venr on its initial investment of
$75,000.
Sooner or later this matter will compel the
attention of the people, and changes will result.

kept out of her way. But as time went

good care of his children and who
treated him with such gratifying de-

trast to the gay, hot-tempered beau-

her. He made her Marquise do Main-

when the pleasures of youth began to

and trembled at thought of a future
punishment for the wild, dissolute life

ways and to a^me for the past by
going to the opi oslte extreme. In-
