Colonel E ward H. Power has sald the word. As the colonel is the ol king ot Lander, his word Roes The reason for the change from scenic #plenders to real substance is that Colonel | Power and his assoclates are turning the ol Into coin. Hew this is being done Is told by the Wyoming State Journal and | some of the facts related will Interest Omaha people in general, particularly those | who regard the region, as the fuel bin of Omaha industries. Under the direction of Colonel Power, Mr. Billow planned and engineered to com- pletion what is declared, by men who know, | to be the most complete system for guther- | ing, pumping, storing and loading ofl in existence. Shipments of oil from Colonel Power's operation, the Popo Agle fleld, were made as early as last August, and tank cars are already enroute to convey the immense shipments under contract for Omaha, Lin- coln d Sloux City. These cars are speclally constructed and each one personally inspected by Colonel Power before it was accepted and started on Its way to Wyopo. A trench ten miles long, thirty-six inches deep and thirty inches wide, has been dug between the wells and the ratiroad siding at Wyopo, and through this trench has been strung and laid ten miles of six-inch pipe, to convey the oil. At Wyopo have been erected two Im-| mense storage tanks, of 31,50 barrels ca- pacity each, and protective fire banks have been thrown up surrounding each of these tanke, A large machine shop has been erected and equipped, loading racks with a ca- pacity of ten cars at a time have been completed and still there is more to tell. More than 40,000 cublc yards of earth has been removed, requiring the services at thnes of 100 to 12 men, and the establish- ment of thres camps with the accompany- ing expense for malintainance, shelter, and sustenance. Three Flowing Well Since October 1 three wells have been drilled on the patented lands. Each of these wells is flowing, having .started at the rate of 200 barrels per day, gone as nigh 1,000 barrels per day, and are still flow- ing, though with diminished activity Three more wells are now being drilled, four complete rigs are on the field, and the management proposes to‘maintain jts pres- ent actlvity until the production has reached such a stage as to warrant fur- ther investments in the line of extending the enterprise, seeking wider markets than are now avallable, As fast as the wells are drilled they are coupled with a large double dise pull power machine erected In the center of the oil tleld on a substuntial concrete foundation, driven by a twenty-five horse-power en- gine and recelving its stream from the main pumpiug station feet away. Bach disc has connectlohs for attaching | pull Tods for pumping twehty-six wells, so that the tofal capacity of the machine is fifty-two Wells. When « new well 18 drfifed, or an old one ceases to flow naturally, it 18 lmmediately harnessed up to this ma- chine by means of the pull rods operating pumping jacks, the ofl is pumped from the well, and only one man is required to oper- ate the whole machine. Through the middle of the fleld, buried below frost, lies the extension of the pipe line running to Wyopo, with three-inch branches registering the flow of each well. The main, that is, the six-inch pipe line, runs to and past the settling tanks, branch- ing and connecting with each tank through a threg-inch pipe. The ofl is pumped into these settling tanks, which are equipped with steam pipes, and when the oll is clear of water and settlings it Is gauged and then permitted to flow, by gravity, into the recelving tank, fifty-two and u half Teet below, Just beyond, and thirty feet lower than the recelving tank, s the pumping station, containing three large oil country bollers, & fed water heater and.a large line pump capable of pumping from 5000 to 6,00 barrels of ofl per day, against a Lead of 1,000 pounds to the square inch, Supplies Its Own Power. All of the bollers are fired with oll and the system of burning, that of the Na- tional Supply company of Chicago, is very complete in every respect. It has been in- stalled without sparing expense, mainly Tor the purpose of education, as there are no other steam plants using oil in this part of the country. The oll gravitates from the receiving tank 10 the pumping station, and by means of the power generated by the bollers men- tioned above, s forced through the main pipe line to the large steel tanks at Wyopo. ach of the two Immense steel tanks occuples one and a half acres of ground, surrounded by very large fire banks, with | sufficlent Intervening space to make a very respectable race track. The tanks are lo- cated in commanding positions at such an elevation as to require no rehandling of the | oll, as it gravitates to the loading racks on the raliroad slding extended to the tanks by the Northwestern rallroad. Each of these tanks is supplled with more than 2,000 feet of heater pipe equipped with steam connections for the purpose Of ex- tnguishing fire in the event of the tanks being struck by lightning, or any other kind of aceldent The machine shop nearby 1s the most complete In the state, and is most favor- ably located. Adjoining the shop s a large boller furnishing the power for running the | shop engine, and furnishing the steam for the heater pipes in the tanks. This shop proposes to do custom work end to carry a complete line of supplies Wyopo, by the way, derives Its name from the first three letters of Wyoming and the tirst two of Power, and Is located one and w half miles northeast of Lander on the line of the Northwestern railroad. A por- tion of the land comprising the townsite | has been surveyed and laid out in town lots with broad streets and parkways. An- otlier portion s set sside for manutacturing purposes, and a still larger portion for the tank farm.

Quaint of On the old eanal from Delft to Leyden 18 & tea garden that has existed there time | out of mind. More than 20 years ago it I8 mentioned in local ehronicles and It is| on record that all the windows of the | house and pavilions were broken when the awful gunpowder explosion destroyed | a large part of Leyden in the elghteenth ecentury. The canals in those days were the highways of traffic, and all the finest | houses and most beautiful country seats were situated on its borders, (he edifices turning thelr best side toward the water | #0 that the best rooms could command | a good view of the passersby. It the house could not be brought sufficlently close to the canal border, & summer house, generally cireular In shape, with windows on all sides, was placed on the immediate dge of the water, often overhanging it Bvery country seat and house had its own landing stage, a rowing boat and house. Of course, the amusement resorts had to conform to this preference for the wa- ter, s0 It is not so wonderful that nearly all the 0ld Dutoh tea gardens were placed | near some busy canal. These tea gardens were a great institution, where the burghers, with their families, would come on summer evenings to drink tea or eat sour cream with rusks and sugar. Some days the gardens were filled all day long. At noon coffee and rolls were partaken of there, and later on tea was again indulged in. The children found plenty to amuse | them, for there were swings, seesaws and lots of rowing boats. Barges glided by continually, some towed by horses, others by men, women and children, Often three or four children snd | a little dog towed a heavily laden boat while the father of a family punted it| along with a pole and so eased the strain | for those on the towpath. But the passen- | ger barges were tnose looked for with the | greatest interest, for most of these would stop at the landing stage of the tea uu-; den and deposit a goodly load of new | visitors. The canals and freight barges are still the same, but the gay green amd Wwhite | painted passenger barges have passed from | the soene, and the tea garden itself has | gone through many viclssitudes, Some of the establishments led a dreary existence for many years, the paint on the summer houses and pavilions getting dingier und dingier, and some crumbled into decay al- together. None with any pretendions to gentility visited the tea garden any more, and finally only the laboring people kept true to the old places. But there came an astonishing revival, due chiefly to the bi- cycle and later to the automoblle. The tea | garden has again become fashlonable | and many a crumbling, old establishment | has shone forth with new plate glass wins | dows, extensive verandas and new paint. | New summer houses have been built and many new rowing boats are temptingly waiting along the landing stage. All day | long the ola garden Is filled with gay | young visitors., boat- Sitting under the flowering linden trees | in the old garden walching the barges| lazily gliding, with the cheerful tea kattle | humming its little song on its warm stone near at hand, one’s thoughts revert (o the olden days when tea was first introduced into Holland. What a revolution it created in the households. It will scarcely be be- lieved that many a family was almost rulned by it. Tea was first brought into Holland by the East India company and Holland was drinking tea some time fore Irance or England knew of it. In i middle of the-seventecnth century tea was glven as a medicine and some doctors were so enthusiastic about its results that | they prescribed it as & kind of elixir of lite warranted to cure every varlety of fliness. Sume people drank from ten to fifty cups at a siiting. Tea was not taken with milk In those days, but with sugar and| saffron. | But tea alofle was not sufficient to| quench the thirst and a bowl of brandy | with a ladle In it was passed around as & change. Tea was an expensive luxury In those days, costing as much as 40 or even 100 or 120 florins. & pound, and all the accessories of the tea/ table had to be of extreme richness. A’ tea room was set apart in all stylish homes, with a spzclal tea table and chairs, and this was kept entirely for entertaining guests, These tea tables were costly affairs, often of Japa- nese lacquer work inlald with silver, ivory and mother of pearl. The tea sets were of the most delicate ohina and Japanese porcelain. The teapots were often of fan- tastic shapes. The square pots, painted with gold designs, were famous and val uable, Others were hand-painted with tie | family crest and arms. The dress of the company was Just as fide in its kind as | the trappings of the tea table, so that the expenditure necessitated by tea/ drinking | became so great that the moralfsts of the | time poured forth the vials of their wrath on tem, referring to il as “that desiroyer | of domestic peace” and “that demolisher of | the fortunes of our citizens. | Tea drinking has not been put down by the fulminations of its critics, but the ex- | aggerated veneration for tea Mmay grad- ually give place to a more quict apprecia- tion of its merits. Even mow Holland ranks second In Europe as a tea drinking nation, following immediately after BEng- land in the quantity consumed each meal. ~Chicago News, COMING CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY| —_— Enterprising Youth Proves His Skill by Working a Board of Health, Besides being an esteemed citizen and a 00d fellow, Franklin 8.

For nearly a century physicians throughout the country, good and bad, have been try E to find some permanent cure for this t= rible scourge, but the only practical and permanent found for it is nature's simple means of remedying the conditions, by removing the cause.

In order to allow the heat to properly enter with a hot alr heat- ing plant and provide a continuous clreu- lation of alr, most plants are put in with what is known as a cold alr return, with' a large duct leading from a reglster in some central position in the house, which carried down under the basement floor and then to the furnace. This, of course, means a continual circulation of the same alr, and for this reason this method Is not as good as to provide some means for the air to escape into the open and obtain the fresh air supply from out of doors. The objection to this always is that con- siderable warm air is always allowed to escape and the fresh air must be con- inually heated, requiring a little hotter than under the old. method, but this slight amount of extra fuel consumed Is a very cheap price for extending the lease of life and ase the enjoyment of living through continued good health, With a hot water plant the modern way to provide a warm, fresh supply of air Is what is known as indirect radiation. This is obtained through placing what 1s known as lally made for this purpose, enclosel in a tin or galvanized iron compartment, located over the first floor, these metal compartments beiug connected ine is| {with the outside alr. A large duct from [the top of the compartment is connected with the floor above. Since heat Invariably rises, carrying a current of alr with it, the upward current pulls in through the fredh |air duct a fresh supply of alr which eir- culates through the indirect rAdiator and becomes warmed and then passes into the room. The register can be either placed in the floor or in a partition. If there Is a fireplace on the first floor connected with rooms that open together and the damper is left open, this will serve as a splendld ventilator, no other outlet being necessary. While it would be desirable to carry the indirect radiation up through the partitions to the second floor, the loss of heat is so great that It is not practical and since in a private home the bed room doors are | seldom closed, or at least need not be so at night, the fresh air will be given an opportunity to ecirculate up through the hall into the gecond floor rooms and can | be forced to follow this course by placing small baseboard ventilators in- each bed room. The bed rooms should be heated with radiators for the practicalreasons be- fore stated, This baseboard ventilator con- sists of a small nickel-plate register ‘con- nected with a three-and-one-half-inch tin or galvanized tube which is carrled down |the outside walls into the basement, across the ceiling'of the basement, connecting into the main ventflating pipes leading into a vent flue. The air on the floor being cold- |est and also what is known as the dead air of the room will follow a downward cur- {rent through this vent pipe. The pipe being placed In an outside wall and cold its en- tire length insures a downward current of air until it gets into the basement. Here it 18 connected with a flue that is warm and the current goes upward, carrying phe air with it out of the chimney at the top of the house. While there are hundreds | |of patent devices on the market for the | ventilation of homes, the above described | | method 1s the simplest and most practical manner in which it can be accomplished. It means a slight expense in equipment |and a little more heat, but the expense will be offset by a saving of doctors' bills, to say nothing of the comfort and pleasure of living in a well ventilated, sanitary home, TIMELY REAL ESTATE GOSSIP Interesting Bit of Omaha Exchange Recalled by Old Document, < T0 TOP OF BANK BUILDING Steel Workers on City Nationnl Reach | Their Highest Pol Story—Thenter: on Sixteenth Nearing Completion, Articles of incorporation of (he origi- nal Omaha Real Estate exchange have | been found, incorporated October 30, 1886 A perusal of the names of the original signers shows the changes which twenty- four years have wrought.
