Legislature ^ ill
Consider Removal
of Farm tor Poor
Combination County and City
Hospital on New Site
Planned a« Omaha
Improvement.
The sale of (he present county poor
farm an ! hospital site of ICO acres
and the establishment.of another loca
tion, with a modern combination
county and city hospital plant, Is one
of the prospective improvements of
Omaha's forward movement.
A special enactment of the leglslu
tore during the forthcoming session
already has been suggested. Richard
F. Wood, representative-elect, has
agreetl to present the measure and
to enlist support for its passage. Part
of the program Is to bring this mat
ter to the attention of the Improve
ment clubs for discussion anti action.
one of the arguments in favor of
the proposition Is that the present
county poor farm and hospital loon
tion is Impeding development In the
district surrounding the Institution,
another argument Is that the present
county hospital plant Is inadequate,
and still another point is that the
elty and county could obtain a, mod
ern plant and operate It at less ex
pense than the separate Institutions
are now costing.
The county owns ICO acres between
Center and Pacific streets, Thirty
sixth to Forty-second streets. Lease
on the 1 Id-acre tract Known as the
Field club grounds \^ili expire In
1830. but it is slated that this lease
could be satisfied in (he event the
entire county tract should be sold.
County Commissioner Charles Unltt.
tvho has charge of the county hos
pital and farm, stated that In his
opinion, the graund and buildings
could he sold for $500,000 and lhe
buyer could realize a liberal return
if the tract was sold In lots. About
a y ear ago he proposed to the county
hoard to sell 120 acres and retain dO
acres for the county hospital and
farm, hut that Idea was not sup
ported by the other commissioners.
Commissioner L'nitt Is not averse to
disposing of the entire county tract
and the buildings and acquiring an
other tract more removed from the
city.
Health Commissioner A, S Pinto Is
heartily in favor of the plan, He
believes the city and county should
and could maintain a Joint hospital
plant and stated that the poor firm
could be operated oti the same tract,
but should be separated from the
hospitals.
"I believe this could be made the
first step toward a joint city and
county government," the health com
missioner said. "It I* my opinion
that eventually we will have only one
government for city' and county. At
present the city Is paying about $10,
000 a year for maintenance of a
smallpox hospital on West Center
street and the city emergency hos
pital on East Douglas street costs
about $15,000 a y ear to maintain. In
addition, the city pays a considerable
amount a year for cases taken to
other hospitals. The proposed joint
city and county hospital plant should
have units for the various classes of
cases, similar to the Cook county
hospital, which includes Chicago."
Dr. Pinto stated that about $250,000
would be sufficient to cover the cost
of a hospital plant on the unit sys
tem.
Heal estate men state tliat a quar
ter section could lie obtained five
miles west nf the city for approxi
mately $75,000 and a half-section
tract for $125,000 to $150,000.

W ildcat Oil W ell
Brings Wealth to
Omaha Investors
Gusher Roars in Texas Field
Sunday After Months of
Hopeful Pros
pecting.
Approximately 140 Omaha men and
women have found the end of the
rainbow.
They have struck oil in Texas, and
dazzling wealth dances before their
eves. Men whose .sleep was troubled
a few nights ago by the high cost
of living are now pricing Rolls
It03'< os. They have rubbed Aladdin's
magic lamp and, lo, their vision
feasts upon riches.
The Big Indian Oil and Develop
ment company hrs brought In a
gusher 12 miles northeast of Gaines
ville, Tex. It Is in Cooke county,
where wildcatters have In the pest
been unsuccessful In their attempts
to clean subterranean wealth.
The county has hundreds of dr>'
holes, mute evidence of fortunes
lost. The Big Indian gusher is,
therefore, the sensation of northern
Texas, and has brought much joy to
Omahans.
The well was brought In Sunday
afternoon on the Davis farm a mile
from the hamlet of Calisburg. It Is
known as Wildest No 4 of Ihe com
pany, which is a co-operative con
cern which limits each stockholder
to one share. Hundreds of persons
witnessed the spouting of oil over
the top of the 90-foot derrick. Kven
with the heller In the hole, the gae
pressure sent the crude oil spraying
over a wide area.
<'■ A. ltoudrich of Kansas City,
president and general manager of the
company, and R. K. Harris, one of
the seven directors, were on the scene.
The Big Indian stockholders In
Omaha find additional gratification In
the fact th$t their total lease holdings
near Gainesville arc 3,500 si res.
The company was established near
ly five years ago with 600 stock
holders, each of whom paid Into the
treasury flu a month George K
Meek, 1514 South Twenty-eighth
street, foreman of the mailing de
partment of the Beacon I’ress, was
a. stockholder from the beginning and
so far has paid $580. Twice the com
pany has returned small dividends for
oil and gas holdings In Kansas,
Kven the president of the company
the only salaried official, holds jus!
one share. Several Omaha persons
have been on the ground in Cooke
county, including Meek, who visited
the lease theie a year ago on hi
return fi"m a vacation trip to Mexico.
A. L. Colwell of 2552 Marry street
another stockholder, had this to say:
"People told us we were crazy to
continue paying $iu s month into
the Big Indian. But it was one of thej
few honest wildcat companies, and we j
knew that If our money was lost It
was not lost by fraud.
Optimistic reports sent to Omaha by}
telegraph from Gainesville say that1
the Big Indian gusher will develop
i.tiOO barrels a day of 50 gravity
petroleum, the highest quality crude
oil found in the mid-continent field.
Among the Omalians who are stock
holders are D. C. Marlenee, Irvin Gil
Ir-sple. Kmll Kranda, .lohn Sehmittroth
and William Ben^-alcr, all of the
Beacon Press Fi d ivienke, George
Novacek and many other employe*
of the Woodmen of the World; Harry
Miller, a barber at Fifteenth nnd
Farnam streets; Charles K. Wlnquist.
