Pursuant to tfae call for a meeting
of the committee selected by the
*6,000 Club, Wednesday night, May-
or Fred McDaniei, Judge A. K
Craver. Dr. R. D. Rood, Dr. Freo
Sutton, Oeoo. K. McKinley, R. o.
Lahman and J. p. OMeara met at
the offlces of the Stevens Point Oil
company, Thursday morning, at
which time steps were taken to per-
fect an organization for the better-
ment and immediate growth of Bar-
tlesville.
It was decided unanimously by the
above committee to take the people
of the city into the confidence 01
the 26,000 Club, and make each clti-
sen of the community feel t&at he
Is Just as eligible to membership,
as the few favored ones, in most
organizations of this character.
The question arose: Wnat steps
were to be taken to bring about an
harmonious organisation, wherebj
the entire city would become one
monstrous club, with only one aim
In view, vis: "To boost Bartlesville
to 25,000 people In 1012."
Upon suggestion of Judge A. E.
Craver, the following rule governing
the membership of the 25,000 Club
was adopted:
"The membership of this Club,
shall be of two classes: Active and
Associate members. All persons
bartlesville, oklahoma,
friday, MARCH 18, 1910.
who have at re business interests
in the city shall be eligible only as
Active members.
"Alt who $re working under em
ployment, or on salary, snail be
eligible, either as Active or Associ-
ate members.
The Active members shall pay
dues at the rate of 92.00 per month
and the Associate members shall pay
dues at t&fe Ate of |1.00 per month
It was very patent from the spirit
of the men composing the Organi-
zation Committee, and the unbound-
ed faith each member has for the
opportunities the city affords, for the
many excellent industries knocking
at our door, that the success of the
25,000 Club, assisting, working hand
in hand with our Commercial club
will be very pronounced.

For ail crude above 30 gravity, 3b
cents per barrel.
For all crude below 30 gravity,
30 cents per barrel.
The above prices were posted in
the office of the Prairie Oil * Qas
company yesterday morning, when
the market opened.
This means an advance of three
cents a barrel on light oil and two
cents H barrel on heavy oil. It is
the first time in more than eighteen
months that more than 36 cents a
barrel has been paid by the Prairie
for light' oil.
On Tuesday the Texas company
and the Gulf Pipe Line company
raised the price on oil from 33 cents
to 36 cents and this is the answer
of the Standard to the attempt of
the other lines to get the oil.
The advance has created a distinct
ly better feeling all around. In all
reason, however, it was to have been
expected. For months, even years
the contention of the pipe line com-
pany has been that whenever pro-
duction got to pipe line capacity
there would inevitably be an ad-
vance. That situation has arrived.
When the Standard companies began
the construction of the new pipe line
to the gulf it was then stated that
all of the production of the field
would be taken care of and that a
better price would obtain. The new
line is now assured. In fact the
Oklahoma Pipe Line company which
is the domestic corporation of the
Standard, is already taking 2,000
barrels a day and when the line is
completed about April 1st It will
take at leaat 15,000 barrels a day. ■
Every barrel of production in the
field is now beldg taken care of ex-
cept Glenn pool stuff and as soon
as the new line to the gulf Is in
operation this will be handled
There is not in sight enough new
production to cause any fear. The

But at last the producer Is coming

ies of advances which will put crude' re!,«lon' race and nationality. Not
on the up-grade instead of the to- °n,y do lTie Irlsh c® «brate, for most
boggan. The Standard, which has
been the largest purchaser of the
oil of independent producers, which
has consistently for two years, paid
more than the other lines, is carry
ing out its settled policy of making
price subject to local conditions.
The Standard is now in position to
handle all of the oil and it wants it
and is willing to pay for it. The ex-
tension of pipe lines has relieved
It of the necessity of building tank3
and this meanB millions to the pro-
Mufeers.
Of course there will be a lot oi
new work started. There always is
when the price is going up. The
boys will get some tnore leases and
the festive-wild-cat will be the story
for a while. But just as long as the
Americans can trace in their lineage

Fire Department Schwaru yester-
day and after thoroughly going dVcr
the altuation, made the above an-
nouncement. This lire protection is
one of the most serious matters Aim
any city has to contend with.
The city ot Bartlesville has'to*
ways had an exceptionally sman
amount of nrea, fortunate, that's all,
but In the event of a big hid break-
ing out in the down town section,
what chaace would a department so
small aa ours amount to. Have yoa
ever conaidered what the
quences would be If the fire
ment was called to the extrsBM
northern limit of the city to dg>|
a fire and an alarm waa turned la
from the business section?
It would simply mean tliat beto.-e
the department could nnish extin-

would be gained by that
they might just as well drive ha^<
to tba staolss and put away their
teams, because they could not 4 a
particle of good, only to pdasihly pro-
tect adjoining buildings. Statistics
show that every fire department
should have at least one man tor
every thousand inhabltanta. that
would mean twelve for our city, yet
we are lacking just half that num-
ber.
The new equipment must coasivt
of an aerial truck, a steamer, an
auto chemical and hose truck am
last but not leaat a nre alarm system.
By using the steamers, four or five
streams, any of which would be
many times stronger than the atrsam
used by this department you caa
readily see the advantage of having
this new acquisition. The acquiring
of the ne wnre fighting equipment
is not all that la necessary. Thar
have to be properly manned.
It would require three men for the
steamer, two for the aerial track aad
four men at least for the auto track,
with live or sis men extra, to ait aa
helpers. As soon as the aew parpher-
nalia la installed, daily drills wiu ha

partment win have to adapt hlissslr

would. It taken Into the confidence ot
prospective builders, either of homes
or stores, be only too glad to show
them the way to build, so that If they
