The Newcastle News-Journal says
that with thirty producing wells, fifty
rigs on the ground and more being
unloaded the Osage field bids fair to
take its place among the largest oil
fields in the state early this spring.
For miles on either side of the dis
covery well, brought in by the Mike
Henry people on section 5-46-63 in
September last, rigs dot the field and
tractors bump across the sagebrush
as a new well is brought in and the
rig is pulled farther on. The length
of the field can be approximated at
eight -miles, the farthest rig to the
northwest being located on section
35-47-64 and being sunk by the
Osage Petroleum company. The rig
nearest Newcastle, while it is not
considered to be in the Osage struc
ture, but rather In the Oil creek field,
is three miles out. From this rig to
within nine miles of Upton rigs dot
the road, and plans are under way
for the sinking of a well just south
of the city limits of Upton. Should
this well come in it would mean a
chain of derricks from Newcastle to
Upton, a distance of thirty miles.
II. C. Bretschnelder, president of
the Western States Oil & Land com
pany, has announced that his com
pany have acquired from the Mid
west Refining company all its leases,
embracing approximately 700 acres
of proven land in the Mule creek
field, on which there are four wells
producing 500 barrels a day. While
the price was not disclosed, it is
known to have been relatively low
considering the value of the proper
ty. Mr. Bretschnelder announced
that fou ror five new wells would be
started at once and shoul dbe com
pleted within thirty to forty days, so
that by the end of that period, when
the pipe line will be ready to receive
oil, the Western States company will
be selling more than 1,000 barrels a
day from this district.

How to Figure Income.
The best way to find out whether
one must file a return Is to pet a Frm
1010A nnd follow the Instructions
printed on It. That form will serve as
a reminder of every Mem of income,
and If a return Is due It tells how to
prepare and file it
If in doubt on any point as to Income
or deductions, a person may secure free
advice and aid from the nearest Inter
nal Revenue office.
Guesswork, estimates and other bit-or-miss
methods are barred when a per
son is making out his Income Tax re
turn. Accuracy and completeness must
be Insisted upon. The return Is a
sworn statement. As such It must be
thorough and accurate.
Salaried persons and wage earners
roust ascertain the actual compensation
received., Overtime, bonuses, shares In

ters and board furnished by the em
pi oyer and other Items which are coin
pensatlons for services must be In

It must be borne In mind that com
pensatlon may be puid irv other forms
than in cash. A bonus paid in Liberty
Bonds Is taxable at the market value
of the bonds. A note received In pay
ment for services is taxable Income at
Its face value, and the Interest upon

LINTLE PROFIT IN
COAL BUSINESS
City Realised a Tilfle Over 9200
vuruig i he lTrliNl It II nulled
Entire Fuel iiiity
The conl business Isn't the most
profitable one on earth, to Judge
from the experience of the city of
Alliance, which, with City Manager
C. C. Smith as fuel administrator, as
sumed control of the distribution of
fuel for the entire city during last
winter's coal strike. The complete
report, compiled by the city man
ager this week, shows the profits to
have been Just $212, exclusive, of
course, of unpaid accounts, which
will increase the total by $34.40.
The city made no attempt to make
money out of the coal situation, the
main idea being, at that time, to
keep residents in town and surround
ing district from freexlng. Due to
good fortune and good management,
Alliance was one of the few cities of
the state to have ample coal for
every real need. No restrictions of
business activities were ever en
forced.
In addition to the profits as shown,
the city cae out ahead with a set of
office furniture, which was paid for
out of the coal profits. The unpaid
accounts consist of coal sent to fam
ilies under quarantine, and these
bills will be presented to the county
commissioners for payment.
The city manager's report covers
the handling of twenty-seven cars of
coal, weighing 2,126,500 pounds.
The freight on this coal amounted to
$3,826.62, and the cost of the coal
to very little more, $4,109.23. The
report. In part, follows:
'To the Mayor and Members Al
liance City Council. Gentlemen:
herewith submit my final report as
local fuel administrator, which
briefly covers the many transactions
of this office during the recent strike
of soft coal Iners and resultant coal
shortage. All freight and coal has
been paid for and all other accounts
have been settled. Your attention is
called to the item of "management
amounting to $186.66.' The fuel ad
ministration paid two-thirds of my
salary for December. The remain
ing $83.33 coming In the usual way
fro mthe light department. There
was no extra pay for this service.
No attempt has been maae to go
Into the mass of detail In this report,
the idea being to present the facts,
for all books and records cannected
therewith are available for inspec
tion at any time. Very truly,
C. C. SMITH, City Manager.

A writer In the Sacramento Boe,
who expresses the fear he will be
classed as an Inspired lunatic, Is
Bounding a warning against the Jap
anese. He lists a tremendous num
ber of ways In which Japanese propa
ganda Is being spread, chiefly along
the Atlantic seaboard and east of the
Mississippi, "where there is no orien
tal question, where the public being
Ignorant, will not question state
ments made, and where the greatest
number of Americans can be reached
with least effort and expense." At
tention Is called particularly to the
action of the federal council of the
Churches of Christ in America, com
promising over 100,000 ministers
and a membership of 17,500,000,
which has endorsed a "new oriental
policy," being actuated by a belief
that this action will help spread the
Christian gospel among the Jape. It
will be well, before becoming too ex
cited over the wrongs done the Jap
anese, to make inquiry of some
friend of yours who really knows
conditions in Collfornla.
