Auguat 18. (Special fn response to an Inquiry from Glfford J'Inchot, head of the United Statea Bu reau of Forestry, Land Commissioner Foll xner through H. M. Eaton, has recom mended that the public lands In the west ern seotlon of the state, not home steaded under tha terms of tha Kinkald law, be leased at not lees than S cents an ' acre, or as much more aa it will bring at a competitive bidding or auction. This, It Is believed, would help the state in dis posing of the leases to Its school lands. These auctions, which are recommended aa the proper method of disposing of this publio land, which Is now a free range, would ba advertised and conducted Just as tha state auctions arc. In addition to the above recommenda tions several interesting statements in re gard to the state lands are made. Mr. Eaton, who complied the report, makes, tha statement that the state owns 8u0,- Scarce Meat may be a Blessing Giving one the chance to try tlie tremendous value of a complete change of diet TRY THIS FOR BREAKFAST: A little Fruit.

Tha total cession of school land to the state by tha national congress was I.&7I.402.63 acres, but tha state has already deeded 814,733. 11 acres, mostly agricul tural land, to private individuals. Nona of tha grazing land la sold, except where It has access to a good water sup ply for Irrigation purpose. Some of the agricultural land which was under lease contract was cold ' lor 270 an acre, and tha constitution provides that none of the land can ba sold for leas than 17 an acre. The report states that the agricultural lands are In great demand at all times, but notwithstanding the unfertile character of much of the western land less than 1,000 acred of the total state domain la non productive to the schol fund. A large ahare of the agricultural lands and nearly all of the territory suitable for erasing- is under twenty-flve year leases. Brings la BisT Reveaae. The lands belonging to the permanent school fund bring in a big income for the schools of the state, the entire amount be ing distributed from the temporary school fund for the benefit of all the schools in the state in proportion to the number of scholars of school age In each county. The Income for the blennlum ending November 10. 1SW2. the only available figures until the report for the present blennlum, is com piled, show that the revenue from thla source waa 11.564,179.13. Mr, Eaton concludea that the leasing sys tem under which the state lands are at present Is a success. Since 1897 no new eale contracts can be entered Into by the land commissioner, although there are many yet to mature which were entered into before that date. About 1.100,000 acres yet remain absolutely in the hands of the state, and a considerable 'area could be sold if the state legislature should repeal the law enacted in 1S97. However, the com. irissloner favors the leasing system, and believes that the land should be held In perpetuity for the good of the state school system. "I am unable to see," he says, "where the state would receive any greater value by exchange or consolidation with the na tional government, other than co-operation regarding the leasing of publio land." This last response was In answer to the (fuery of the head of the forestry bureau as to the possibility of some kind of a joint management or national control of the public lands In the west. The proper method of handling the problem Is the leas ing of the . vacant United States domain at not to exceed 1 cents an acre. That is Mr. Eaton's view, but be believes that much of the vacant land will be taken up under the Kinkald law, thus disposing of the problem presented heretofore. With the hinds leased at public bidding, the cattle men could exercise lees control over the school lands, which they now. In some cases, feel they hava the right to grase over. The statute provides a penafty of from $13 to tl,0u0 for. trespass on school lands, but the penalty has not been exacted so far as known. ttays Keith 4 eantr Boats.

The Standard OH Company's pipe line follows the west and north lines of our lease, and Is with in 100 feet of our oiler No. 1, AND WE CAN SELL, OIL THE DAT AFTER OUR FUMPS START. Borne of these companies which Join our lease, cspecla:iy the Federal-Betterment, on the north line, hava wells north in a few rods of ours, and have been marketing oil for three years, and are the pioneers in Southeastern Kansas. They are now drilling day and night, using two to four strings of tools, and the stock is no longer offered at any price. i 'The stock In all other companies has raised from t cents to 80, 36 and BO cent In the last year. Our lease, located as it Is, haa been sought for years, but the price asked for it was considered prohibitive by companies of small resources, but finally the bankers, merchants and business men com posing thla company decided that a DEVELOPED PROPOSITION WA8 SAFE AT ANT PRICE, and a perpetual lease was secured. , Work commenced at once, and In less than two months wa have four wells on tha land, all of which not only make excellent oil showing, but the two wells on the south side of the lease developed an abundance of gaa to furnish the company enough gas for operating our oil plant, and also sufficient to run a brick plant on the land. The Frisco railroad crosses the land, giving us shipping facilities for oi'r brick, should tha com pany decide to construct a plant, which business is covered by our charter. The distance from the city Is leaa than half a mile. Wa have abundance of running water for all purposes, including brick plant. 440 ACRE LEASE In' addition to the 190 acres wa are now developing, this company owns a perpetual lease on 440 acre west of the Cherryvale field, In what is known as the Neodesha-Elk City trend, and the develop ment already made in that location have proved It a very valuable field, and aa soon aa the pipe line are assured wa will have a big rush tor the Elk City field. REFINERY , The Standard OH Company's refinery la at Neodesha, 14 miles northwest of our field, and the de mand for oil near It Is always greater than the supply. Its pipe Mne Is within 100 feet of our oiler No. 1. Our oil is the very richest and highest grade, and reached $1.38 the highest price ever paid for Western oil. USING OUR OWN GAS Our gaa 1 now being used by the drillers, and brings In from $150 to $300 per month, which la a direct saving of that amount to the company. WE WORK ON A CASH BASIS The member of this company are every one financially responsible, and It Is the fixed policy of the management that not a cent of liability shall be created until the cash la in the treasury to meet It, and this POLICY WILL BE MAINTAINED, for it "pays." We are today getting our drilling done at 80 cents per foot, while some companies within a mile Of ua are paying $1.00, because the driller knows the money and the end of the hole meet, and, that fact regulates the price in many Instances. In this connection we respectfully call attention to com menta on tha personnel of the company by some of our home paper, which we copy; (Cherryvale Daily News.)

Governor Mickey haa Issued the follow ing Labor day proclamation; A nation's greatness may be measured by Its capacity for labor. Other elements of power are supplemental to it and only become important when the genius of toil has given them direction. Nowhere is perfection attained without effort. Our Own nation, greater than any other, has correspondingly dignified labor In many ways and has also set apart a special executive department which haa to do with all questions pertaining to the great army of wage earners. Further than that nearly all the statea, Nebraska included, have, by legislative enactment, designated a particular day In recognition of labor, as a public tribute to the importance of toll and the results achieved by It. In obedience, therefore, to the mandate of law and to established custom, I, John H. Mickey, governor of the state of Nebraska, do hereby designate Monday, September 6, 1904, as Labor day, and earnestly request all who toil, whether with hand or brain, to take a brief respite from their ordinary avocations and pass the day in such a way as will best promote thejr social, in tellectual and physical enjoyment. Woodaes Go Picnicking". Five hundred Woodmen left Lincoln for Crete thla morning to attend the annual district plcnio and log-rolling. The dis trict Is composed of Seward, Saline, Lan caster and Uoge counties and thousands of Woodmen were present to enjoy the fun and frolic.

According to local grocers flour at 12 a sack Is not an Improbability in the near future. Standard brands that have sold as low as 11.26 a sack are now quoted at 11.41, an advance of 10 cents In two weeks. A year ago the same brands were to be had on the local market for 11.15. The grocers say 'that wholesalers Insist millers are putting up the price purely from specu lative motives. Wheat Is higher than It ever waa, but none of It haa yet been transformed Into flour, and that therefore they cannot understand what excuse the millers have for Jacking up prices now. Grocers are advising customers to lay In a goodly supply before the price goes be yond reason Halda Boantles Invalid.

MANY VISITORS FROM OUTSIDE TOWNS Haaarry Mem Sooa Make a Bole la tha Stock of the Cammlssery Da ' psrtaest and Rash Orders Go la for Mara. DAVID CITY, Neb., Aug. 18. (Special.) The blowing of bugles and roar of cannon at Camp Victor Vlfqualn 'awakened cltl sens at an early hour this morning. The Nebraska National Guard Is settled in camp and the regular routine of exercises Is being carried out according to the orders Issued Tuesday evening by General Culver, commanding officer. A large num ber of spectators witnessed the dress parade of the two regiments yesterday evening. That General Culver Is raising the standard and standing of the Na tional Guard is apparent, and he Is re ceiving the commendation and compliments of everyone for the effectiveness of his work. This forenoon the regimental drills on the Anderson ranch, one half mile west of the camp grounds, , were witnessed by large crowds of people. Colonel Evans, surgeon general, states that Friday afternoon, the hospital corps, with a detachment of artillery and troop of cavalry, will give an exhibition drill in taking care of wounded soldiers in the same way and manner as In actual service. This will occupy the whole of the drill grounds, and all methods of relieving and taking care of wounded soldiers as In the regular service will be exemplified. The drill will start about 1 o'clock, lasting about two hours. Hundreds of visitors are on the camp grounds dally and those from a distance greatly admire the grounds and the beauty of the camp. One of the officers said this morning that he had been In encampments for several years and this is the most Ideal grounds for the purpose be had ever seen In the state. Colonel George E. Jenkins, regimental quartermaster, has a large" warehouse full of supplies, or was chock full yesterday morning, but a lot of hungry soldiers are relieving him of the supplies at a rapid rate. Twenty tons of groceries have been received and distributed since Tuesday evening. Eleven hundred loaves of bread are Issued to the various companies every Cheap Doctors They never pay. Don't employ them. Get the best and pay the price. Cheap doctors don't recommend Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. The best doctors do.

OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND POLICY Up to thi time the original organizers of the company have paid In full for the 6"0 acres of -oil and gas leases, and completed four good wells and have ample means In the treasury to complete Nos. 6 and before a dollar of the money for the sale of the stock now offered will be used, but we must rush development during the summer months, and commence the construction of our pumping plant at once, that It may be ready to commence operation as soon as ten or twelve wells are com pleted. This work requires the expenditure of llo.floo or $20,000 within the next few months; and It Is to meet this expense that we now offer a small amount of our stock at the lowest price ever offered tho public on a proven oil proposition better, by far, than any proposition ever 'offered before for less than 20 to 30 cents, and companies In thla locality, with only a few more wells, are asking from 30 to 60 cents at this time. The original members are taking the stock offered by this advertisement at the same prices the public pay for It. and i believe It an. excellent investment. Every additional well will, of course, raise the price of our stock, and subscribers should send their subscription a or come at ones and verify the statemen ts here made by personal observation. OUR PROSPECTS As to our No. 4 Just completed, we have no hesitation in pronouncing It one of the finest wells ever drilled In the Cherryvale field, and the scores of our people who witnessed the shooting of they well, and who hava continually visited it ever since it was brought in, are of this opinion. The following local from ona of our local papers, the Dally Republican, which doubted the reports brought In by the visitors. Is but a moderate statement concerning tha well and conditions surround ing It: (Dally Republican.) . v IT IS A BIG OILER A great deal has been said about tha Cherryvale Central's well No. 4, which was completed) Tues day, and the Republican determined yesterday to investigate for Itself. We found the well all that has been claimed for It, and more, and after visiting several other sections of the local field. In which are located fine producers, we feel safe In saying that it is the best of the lot. It would seem from the amount of oil still in sight that at least seventy-five barrels were wasted In cleaning out the well. It is decidedly tha oiliest well In the vicinity of Cherryvale, and, In our opinion, thls company has tapped the very center of the pool. So thoroughly are others convinced of this that some of our home people have doubled their subscriptions to stock since personally Investi gating the new find. , . The Cherryvale field extends from the Farrlngton wella on the southeast to tha Hill wella on the northwest, and the Cherryvale Central Company is between the two, and central in location ca well as In name. . 'The Republican ts gratified with tha development of the local field, and heartily cons tulates the Cherryvale Central people, who, by the way, are mostly home men. and Judge McClelland on their latest strike and tha leading position It gives them among tha oil companies operating In - this vicinity. i The reader will please remember that there are eight other locations within a radius of 400 feat from this well, and there Is no reason to believe any one of them will miss the pool tapped by No. 4, and our drilling forces will continue operations day and night, until tha next eight wells surrounding No. 4 are completed. The future of this company Is assured. Tha promoters have taken all of the rial' (If any .was possible in such a location), and now only ask such assistance as will enable us to bring tha plant to the highest dividend paying basis ever reached in this field at the earliest possible moment. This can easily be done during the summer months, as we have our own gas for operation and .abundance of water. OH can be produced in the winter, but development Is much slower and more expensive during tnat season. . . J. wrigui, me send draft, payable to the Cherryvale Central OH and Oas Company, with your order for stock at once, and come later t two wells drilled on the lease Joining us have been gushers, throwing oil over the standard rig in such come In. The last morning. "I am running short of grocer ies," said Colonel Jenkins this morning, "and must order more at once." The four companies of regulars pitched their tenta yesterday afternoon Just north across the lake from the National Guard. Came Notes.
