THE STUFF'S ALL OFF.
ih ellon-gulf pipeline project
fails at crucial moment.
The Mellon Interests Withdraw From
the Combination at a Time When All
Arrangements Were Regarded a*
Settled.—Standard la lilamed.
Kansas oil producer* must for some
time yet look to the Prairie Oil and
Gas company and the "Uncle Josh"
refinery people at Cherryvale for a
market for their crude oil unless pres-
ent indications are greatly at fault.
The gulf pipeline project, hailed as
the salvation of the oil industry in the
depleted fields of Kansas, dissolved
in thin air at a moment when its pros-
pects attained the rosiest hue and
when the details of organization were
regarded as completed. W. L. Mel-
lon, the Pittsburg (Pa.) millionaire,
who was to finance the enterprise,
withdrew at the critical period and
declined to have anything further to
do with it, according to the telegraphic
dispatches. The reason advanced by
Mr. Mellon for his withdrawal from
the project is that the estimates put
up by his experts upon the production
pledged to the proposition do not
show enough oil to justify him in
carrying out his pledge. In other
words, he says the Kansans estimated
their production too high. On the
other hand it is claimed by the pro-
ducers of the Kansas field that the
properties involved in the deal more
than meet the requirements of the
agreement. They also allege that
pressure was brought to bear on Mel-
lon by the Standard Oil company, and
the Mellon interests, fearful of the
octopus, crawfished from the deal.
This may or may not have been the
reason for Mr. Mellon's withdrawal
from the gulf pipeline project. It is
possible that he laid down from an
entirely different cause. The Mellons
are bankers in Pittsburg and hold
heavy interests in the eastern oil
fields. Associated with them are H.
C. Frick and H. C. McEldownev, Pitts-
burg multimillionaires, who looked
upon the project as a legitimate busi-
ness enterprise, having for its object
the buying and transportation of
crude petroleum and the earning of
money. Kansas believed that the sole
mission of the pipeline was rather to
"fight the Standard Oil company,"
and the Kansas papers so declared in
season and out of season. The Mel-
lons and their friends were not hunt-
ing trouble and they simply declined
to engage in an undertaking the ulte-
rior object of which was commercial
warfare.
So the stuff's all off and the pro-
moters of the pipeline enterprise are
all at sea It is claimed, however,
that the withdrawal of the Mellon in-
terests signifies nothing further than
an indefinite delay in financing the
project and building the line to tide-
water on the gulf. It is claimed that
there will be but little difficulty in se-
curing the necessary funds from an-
other quarter with which to build the
line, and it is intimated that the Cud-
ahy's of Chicago are not unwilling to
step in where the Mellons stepped out.
J. F. Overfieid, of Independence,
Kan., who represents the C'udahy oil
interests in Indian Territory, returned
home the first of the week from Pitts-
burg, where he had been taking part
in the pipeline negotiations, and con-
tradicted the report that the Mellons
had contracted cold feet. "The Mel-
lons have not turned down the Gulf
pipeline project," said Overfieid,
"neither is there any suspicion on the
part of Pittsburg business men that
they have been influenced by the
Standard Oil company. The facts are
the producers have not complied with
their part of the contract with the
Mellon company. The agreement was
that the Mellons should allow $2,250,-
000 cash and so many millions of
dollars in stock for the purpose of
paying for 100,000 acres of leases and
10,000 barrels production. Now. ac-
cording to the report of the engineers
and gaugers sent here and paid by the
Mellon people, the production secured
only amounts to 9,000 barrels per day.
Mr. Mellon simply says if the pro-
ducers will shave the price to come
within the amount allotted for this
purpose and get the full 10,000 barrels
daily production he will still agree to
lay the pipeline to the Gulf. However,
the Union Trust company, after agree
ing to finance the deal! notified the
Mellons last Wednesday morning that
it could not handle the pipeline bonds.
Oil men at Pittsburg do not believe
that the Standard interfered. The
Mellens say they will finance the deal
themselves, and they are amply able
to do so provided the producers will
get together and turn over 10,000 bar-
rels production at the price agreed in
the contract between the Mellons anil
the producers. W. L. Mellen, with
whom we did business while in Pitts-
burg, left for New York Friday even-
ing. where he was to meet A. W. Mel-
lon and make arrangements to go
ahead with the deal. If the producers
in this field really waut the pipeline
they can get it. It is up to them, but
they must comply with the original
agreement. The producers and the
attorneys of certain other producers,
who were in Pittsburg at the time I
left for home, are confident that the
Mellons mean business and will
build the pipeline."
While it is hoped Overfieid knows
what he is talking about, the friends
of the pipeline project regard it as laid
on the shelf, temporarily at least. It
does not seem possible that an enter-
prise of such magnitude ami vital im-
portance to the petroleum industry of
the southwest will be permitted to
languish for want of the funds neces-
sary to push it through while there Is
so much idle capital in the country
anxious for investment.
While It Is not wholly unexpected,
the announcement that the pipeline
scheme had fallen through was pro-
ductive of much disappointment, espe-
cially at Chanute, where the local
j papers had positively assured the
' people that the line would inevitably
be built and that Chanute had been
decided upon as headquarters for the
pipeline company.
Mr. Bucher Interviewed.
In regard to the failure of the Mel-
lon pipeline project, who has been in-
terested in the formation of the com-
pany, said to an Examiner representa-
tive: "It appears tnat the pipeline
will not be built, at least by the Mel-
lon syndicate, but I have heard on
good authority that the Cudahy com-
pany is preparing to take up the
sroject. I hope this is true, but really
enow little of the plan so far." From
other sources it is stated that the
I Cudahy interests will be placed in a
i pool with some Cudahy money and
I bonds iloated for the financing of the
I deal, providing new plans now being
formulated carry.

that would be an incalculable boon the crowded east, oeing persons de-
to the city. Mr. (J. H. Baker, one of
the firm of Baker Brothers, window
glass manufacturers, of Arcadia, In-
diana, was in the city on Thursday, in
company of L. W. Mosier, traveling
freight and passenger agent for the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway
company, looking for a location for
a window glass factory. Mr. Baker
was shown over the city and had a
consultation with John M. Baird,
president of the Commercial club.
To an Examiner reporter Mr. Baker
stated that he had not made up his
mind as yet where the location would
be made and was not even ready at the
time to make or receive an offer, but
would later correspond with the Com-
mercial club when, if satisfactory ar-
rangements can be made, a factory
will be built here.
Mr. Baker stated tnat there will be
two factories located somewhere in the
gas fields of Kansas or Indian Terri-
tory, one at least in Indian Territory.
Recognizing that this is the center of
the gas field Mr. Baker expressed a
preferment for Bartlesville. The fac-
tories will each be of thirty-blower
capacity: each will give employment
to 150 workmen with a monthly pay
roll of $10,000. The factory will be
operated nine months in the year,
shutting down only during the hot
months of the summer. The factories
siripg to settle on the land, and thi
will mean a greater growth to the
towns. With paved streets, a sewer-
age system, waterworks, electric light,
gas, oil and innumerable other ad-
vantages Bartlesville will grow more
rapjdly than any other city in the
Cherokee nation. The number of town
lots being sold gives evidence that
thece will be a large amount of build-
ing) and with a sufficient number of
homes to accommodate the newcomers
Bartlesville should be a city of 10,000
inhabitants within two years.

was funny. If the public has an ab-
normal knot of seriousness developed
on the cranium the affair in its bril-

The announcement has been made
that the zinc smelter is practically as-

announced that the sum necessary has
been subscribed, with the exception of
a small sum which can be raised later.
The Messrs. LaTourette, proprietors
of the smelter announce that they will
soon be ready to conclude negotia-
tions within a short time and on be-
half of the commercial club the final

of representatives of the company in
the city. The coming of this factory
will make it imperative that more
houses be constructed. It is safe to
assume that at least fifty additional

—Tbe Chief Journeycake Memorial
church, Baptist, was started Wednes-
day afternoon with appropriate cere-
|monies attending the laying of the
Toseere ]corner stone. When completed this
will be one of the moat elegant church
edifices in tbe Territory. A movement
has been started now to increase the
subscrintion about $1,000 and veneer
the building with brick. A tile roof
will also be used if the subscription is
raised. More than half the amount
required to make the proposed chance
in the plans was subscribed almost
immediately after the change was
proposed.
—Joe Bartle9 has an order from
the secretary of the interior, remov-
ing the restrictions from the sale of.
his land for townsite purposes, thus
making eighty acres immediately
available. This tract of land is di-
vided length-way by the Sapta Pe
road, and is one of the most desira-
ble portions of the townsite. Joe has
the right idea as to town building,
and we understand that such lots as
he places on the market will be with-
in easy reach of those who mean
business.
—Dewey is becoming converted with
operators and well workers. New lo-
cations are being made, and drills
started in such number that only care-
ful inquiry will enable us to make a
complete report of operations. Next
week we shall endeavor to cover the
field with a complete and accurate re-
port.
— William G. Rogers is having the
foundation laid for a two-story build-
ing west of the Santa Pe track, which
is the beginning of the second hotel
for Dewey. He also contemplates the
erection of two or three houses on the
forty acres which he recently placed
on the market for townsite purposes.

The citizens of Bartlesville declared
emphatically for a clean city on Tues-
day last, when by a vote of 250 to 11
the question of issuing #17,000 worth
of bonds to complete the sewer system
of the city was decided in the affirma-
tive and Bartlesville will become one
of the most cleanly municipalities in
the territory. The votfc by wards as
recorded in the four polling places
was as follows.

The voting was slow during the day
until after supper, when tbe balloting
became more lively. Those in charge
of the voting places were confident,
judging from expressions heard that
the proposition would carry, but the
size of the majority rolled up was a
surprise to many. With tbe sewer ex-
tension made possible by the floating
of the bonds almost every residence
in the city will have access for drain-
age. and the system will be large
euough for a city of at least 10,000 in-
habitants. As soon as tbe bonds are
floated a contract will be made for the
construction and it is hoped to have
the worK completed before the ground
is frozen.
Little Criminal Business.
But little criminal business was
transacted by Judge Gilluly at the
August session of United States com-
missioner's court. George Drake,
charged with being a fugitive from
justice, was ordered gent to Pawhuska
where he is wanted on a charge of
aggravated assault.

common labor is paid for at prevail-
ing prices. In the manufacture of
window glass a steady, high heat is
necessary and natural gas is the
ideal fuel. Mr. Baker intimated that
the consideration would be something
like gas at three cents per 1000 cubic
feet, free land site and a bonus.
The writer is personally acquainted
with the Baker Brothers factory and
with the firm by reputation in the glass
world and it can be said that they are
exactly what they claim to be. They
have a large plant in Arcadia, but
the failure of natural gas and the
high price of coal gas has caused the
concern to desire to change locations.
A plan for raising the bonus to be
demanded, that may be brought be-
fore the Commercial club, is being
talked among members. The plan is
to secure a tract of ground uear the
city to be used as a site for the factory

between Claremore and Nowata last
week and the bad man is now doing
stunts behind the jail doors in Vi-

the train when a man named Newcomb,
said to be a former outlaw and bad
man generally, began to raise a dis-
turbance. He picked on Mr. Kerr as
a subject on which to pour the vials
of his wrath and struck at Kerr. In
the fight which ensued Newcomb was
badly worsted. He promised to be
good, but later after thinking the
matter over hunted for Kerr and found
him. Newcomb announced his inten-
tion of whipping Kerr and in the sec-
ond battle got a beating that took all
the fight out of him, aud when Nowata
was reached was turned over to the
officers and jailed. Kerr has a pair
