t3rtias Tt5 dovelopsd near Ellsworth,
whloh U about v100 miles west of th
nsarest successful welli at Elmdala,
Chase county, and about S26 miles west
of Kansas City.
"! Four ..wells arc now flowing near Ells
worth. On proved a failure. The rock
pressure of the best well la 275 pounds
and It la growing- stronger. As yet not
enough or the - gas has been used to
male It possible to say that the field
will be a aucceas, but experts say the
srosDects are enoou racing. ,.
Erasmus Haworth, state .geologist,
visited the wella recently and waa lra-
Bressed with the outlook.
"The fas is of a very fine quality,"
fee said.. "Of course, none can tell bow
long It will last, but the Indications for
av successful flow are promising."
The four flowing wells are about half
a mile south of Ellsworth. The one
failure was drilled north of Ellsworth.
The Ellsworth Oil, pas & Development
company has done ail tne arming.
Getting the money to drill the first
well was a difficult task, but at last
it was raised. It was agreed to sink a
well on "Arch" Larkln's farm, about
half a mile south of the town. The
drillers went down about 1100 feet. They
atruok gas, but . the flow was weak.
The company did not like the prospects,
o they prepared to abandon the hole
In the ground. Xhen It occurred to
somebody that It might be possible to
reause a tittle money on in weii.
Pay us for th pipes and the well
will be yours," one of the company offi
cials said to A. B. Larkln.
- - Mr. Larkln is a shrewd business man,
as his -wealth In farm lands and town
property attests,, and he thought he saw
a f uiure in that well. 80 he paid the
cost of the pipe something Ilk - $260
'Hind the workers moved on to drill in
more promising . fields across the road
from the Larkln house.
Pretty soon the well began to grow.
There was little more than a hundred
pounds pressure when the drillers left
th hole, but almost before Larkln re
alized -it-gas was .coming with a- 260
pound pressure. "';
Larkln sent to town for the plumbers
to harness the gas and make It begin
paying board. First lights were fitted
up throughout the house. Then pipes
were put in the stoves and grates. After
that a 600 candle power arc was hung
on the front porch. Its rays throw
light into a roadway 200 'yards away
and then a beacon light was set up..
That beacon light is one of the sights
of Ellsworth county. Citizens no long
er ask if the traveler has seen the rock
on Turkey creek, two miles southwest
of town, where Buffalo Bill, as a hired
hand, carked his name. He takes the
traveler by the coat sleeve after dusk
and points to a giant light in a tower
on the Larkln home and says:
"There she is; throws light for miles."
The gas produces a pure white light,
and, as one of the women in the Larkln
home expressed It, "Just burns all the
blackness off our cooking utensils."

Southern Oregon City.
HIS DIVORCE PLEA
Belin's Grove," Pa., Nov. 18. Declaring
that he meant tust what he said when
he said his wife's affection for him was
"Jellyfish love," the Rev. Howard L.
Guss, formerly pastor of Gaston Pres
byterian church, Philadelphia, now 1
resident of Beltn's Grove, today filed
a bill of particulars In Mrs. Guss' di
vorce -suit.
Mrs. uuss alleged that her husband
had destroyed letters and telegrams
eent to inform .her that her father was
dying and attempted to prevent the
final deathbed meetings. The clergy
man admits that he "prevented his wife
from receiving mensagps during the last
t;llness of her father," but ha denies
nil lii.i .i net n 11.11 uajiiig Jill
proper attentions to other men or that
he held her virtually a prisoner. He
ays his wife often had gloomy spells,
and tlmt at such times he refers to
her affection as Jellyfish love.
Mr. Ouss was first attentive to his
present wife while he was a student
at Princeton, and soon after he was
ordained in the ministry he married
another womari, who died. Then, after
IS years after his first courtship, he
married his present wife.
In his bill of particulars he says
that sometimes he was compelled to
remonstrate with his wife because his
meals were irregular, causing him to
suffer from indigestion, and on one
occasion, he says, there was too much
soda In the cakes prepared expressly
for him.

Thompson acting for th Goose Lake
Valley irrigation company which lis
purchased the Lakevlew Irrigation- and
rower company's plant and watef
rights to irrigate 40.000 acres of land
lying in th Immediate vicinity of Lake
view. These lands are -divided Into
small tracts and were sold by th Ore
gon vauey juana company to Individual
owners scattered throughout the United
States. The filing of the names was
made necessary by the fact that the
men have water rights to a pprtlon of
each tract and a great many people have
signed additional rights to the balance
of their tracts and these contracts were
Included in the transfer.
Th reservoir Is located at a DOint In
