The president of the company,
Mr W. D. Finley of Sedan, Kan.,
authorized the Gazette to make
the above statement.
With a great amount of splen-
did fuel at our very door, it
should be an easy matter to in-
duce fuel-using industries to move
here when the cost of coal, the
only other source of power, is
considered.
Heretofore there has been but suf
ficient gas produced for domestic pur-
Poses but now it appears that the
supply is greater than domestic needs
and it must be used for commercial or
steam purposes.
With several million feet of gas in
*i*ht industries ought to be brought in
to consume it. |f Gotebo does not
take the initiative and supply the market
other towns in the county will. This is
an opportunity that should not be neg
lected. Gotebo has been makiug a
growth to be proud of, and its citizens
like the sensation. It has been good
for their pocketbooks. It must be kept
growing and the way to do it is to bring
to town industries that will employ

|A/E HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED A
M handsome line of plain and decorated
Queensware to which we invite your at-

This line of goods is far superior to any-
thing that has ever been shown in the city, and
we know that it will please the most fastidious.
We can furnish full sets for dinner service,
lunch sets and odd and original single pieces.
Every article in this line represents the
highest'value ever offered for the money.

would require not more than five acres
which ought to be secured at a cost not
to exceed a hundred dollars an acre.
Mighty cheap for such an enterprise
isn't It?
The commercial club ought to raise
that amount in about thirty minutes.
With a market for the oil many wells
would be drilled and tho«e that have
been allowed to fill with wafer sioce
completion would be cleaned out and
pumped.
This work would require the labor of
many men and would pm a considera-
ble sum of money in circulation here,
benefitting all classes of people.
There is no question about there be-
ing enough oil here to keep a small
refinery busy. With the production de-
veloped. thirty days' drilling in proven
territory would produce enough to
start on.
This is a matter that should not be
overlooked and one that the Commer-
cial club ought to take right hold of
and work for all rt is worth

The company wants to sell the gas at
the wells. This would make necessary
the laying of a line by the town or a
company organized to handle it. Pos-
sibly the Whitewater company might be
induced to take the matter up if a mar-
ket was assured it and handle the
product through its mains in town
The Commercial club should get busy
and look into this matter and do it at
once. In cases of this kind delay is

At the Christian church Sunday the
Harrison Township Sunday School
Organisation held its annual convention.
The meetiug was well attended and was
'J' interesting. The church was
packed to uncomfortableness and many
were compelled to li„en from the out-
side.
Prof. Rule, the head of the county
organisation, was present and address-
ed the meeting. Workers from all the
church denominations and from the
various Sunday schools of the township
took a part in the discussions. The
music was fine, and some of the quar-
tettes from the (ierman schools were
highly spoken of.
The meeting of the county conven-
