Black Gold of Butler County Long Foretold By Professor Haworth
As Far Back As 1906 Daddy Suggested Wells For El dorado Field
Erasamus Haworth, head of the department of geology, is not widely known as the discoverer of the Butler county oil fields, but it was he who first urged the development of what has now become a land of gushers and newly-made millionaires. At first little attention was paid to his surveys showing the rich deposits of oil underlying the present oil reservoirs. Recently been followed up and prospected, until the present tremendous output of the field gives "Daddy" Haworth a perfect right to say, "I told you so."
As early as 1906, Professor Haworth advised the prospecting of the Butter county region. This was in Vol. IX of the State Geological Report, which did not appear until 1908, eighteen months after it was written.
worth advised the prospecting of the Butler county region. This was in Vol. IX of the State Geological Report, which did not appear until April, eighteen months after it written.
In the summer of 1912, Professor Haworth son, Huntman, made a thorough survey of the Walnut River Valley for oil and gas, and their observations confirmed the former's early theory of the rich supply of the two minerals in that country. Professor Hawworth was at the time in the employ of a large Kansas gas company, and recommended the mining of these minerals which now lies the Transhooter well at Augusta, and the Eldorado field. No action was taken upon this recommendation, however, and the gas company dropped an excellent chance to become five or ten million dollars wealthier. The report included practically the entire field of the region which has been described as fabulous figures, where at that time leases have been obtained cheaply.
Professor Haworth was employed by the city of Eldoroado in 1914 to make a second survey of that territory, and he reached the same conclusion as previously, announcing that it would be a wonderful field if it were developed, also pointing out the problems and areas. He started in a few fields, with the result that an oil country of tremendous importance was opened up.
Professor Haworth received little compensation for his survey work, though many of the men who benefitted by it became millionaires.

Dean Templin On Lookout For Instructor—May Add Oriental Tongues
Language of Muscovites
To Be Taught Next Year
Students of the University will have an opportunity to study the Russian language next year, according to Dean Olan Tolmplin. It is planned to offer at least a one-year course and if conditions warrant advance courses will be
This step is a result of the war. Dean Templin thinks there will be many opportunities in Russia for both professional and business men when peace is declared, and a ruling secretary of the language will be of great benefit.
"I hope and expect to see the time when the Chinese and Japanese languages will be taught also," the Dean said. "We now have courses in Swedanium and the Oriental languages are just as important. When the war ends, this country will send a large number of college men into the East and we owe it to these men and to the countries where we are going to teach their languages."
The Dean has been on the lookout for a competent instructor in the Russian tongue, but so far he has been unable to find one. He expects to secure some one who can qualify by next year.
