KANSAS GIL
SETTLED FAST
EXPERIMENTAL STAGE HAS
PASSED
PROPOSED PIPE LINE
To Connect Kansas Field With
Refineries at Whiting
CHANITE, Fob. 18.—Old petroleum
opera tors—men who have come here
from the Allegheny fields—look upon
the proposed pipe line of the Standard
Oil ■ ompany, which is to connect the
Kansas field with the company's refin-
fcii'-s at Whiting, Ind., prophetic of
still better prices for crude oil and in-
creased prosperity in this field. It
means that the Kansas field is no longer
an experiment, hut an established fact,
and also that the company believes that
the field is big enough and abundant
enough to be relied upon for the world's
future supply. In July, 1003. the Oil
City Derrick, which is inspired by the
Standard company, published that the
company must look to Kansas for its
future supply, and now the appropria-
tion by the company of nearly four
million dollais to construct a pipe line
seven hundred miles long to convey
crude oil to its central refineries is sig-
nificant of the importance and value to
the world of the Kansas field. It means
that the company has measured and
dt term fried the limitations of the Kansas
field sufficiently to know that it is the
largest 4eP08't oil now known, and
that its growing development and in-
creased production warrant this vast
outlay of money. It gets back to the
prediction that the Standard Oil com-
pany will light the earth with petro-
leum and that Kansas is to furnish the
oil.
, The purpose of the pipe line is to save
the cost of railway transportation, liy
the u-c of pipe lines the Standard Oil
company is independent of the railroads
until after the crude oil has been dis-
tilled and its products re: dy for the
market, facility of transportation is
one of the chief factors ill the develop-
ment of the nil. industry and really the
, price of petroleum and the prosperity of j
nil concerned, from the man who bores
the'"hole in sMlVch of oil to the great
Rockefeller himself, are dependent upon
it. The Americans were the first people
to understand and really they are the |
only people who do understand -that !
the'markets' of'tfie world could be con-
.tj tiered only by (-he proper solution of
the transportation problem. Petroleum
occurs in many countries of the Old
World, but the invention of cheap and
reliable means of transportation on this
side of the Atlantic have given the
Standard Oil company practically no
competition wherever petroleum is
burned.
Mr. J. K Levy of Cherry vale, who has
been employed in the petroleum industry
since his boyhood, i- in a general way
familial with evolution of petroleum
transportation. Mr Levy is not a man
of books, or even of statistics, but he
is a clone observer and few men know
more of the economy and practical op-
eration of the oil industry. He left pro-
ducing wells ill Ohio to come here and
within the twelve months that he 1m >
been here he is already identified with
what probably is the biggest c:iterpri>e
in the Kansas field. He and Mr. C. II
Pattison of Independence ha ye under
takes to promote a consolidation of th#
_uil and gas industries of the Cherry
vale district. When they took hold,
these enterprises were languishing md
losing money. Now all prospering, and
one of ti)em, from a losing proposition
of $12,000 a year, is now turning in
profits of $75,000 a year, and it i- only
in its beginning. The Kansas field is
full of big prop i it ions that, if developed
will run into the millions, but it take-<
genius and practical knowledge to bring
them out.
But returning to Jlie evolution of pc
troleum transportation, Mr. Levy has
been a witness of it from the time of
the laying of the first pipe line, and by
hearsay he is familiar with the story
before that great triumph. During the
first years of oil development in Penn-
sylvania crude petroleum was trans
ported in barrels, made of oak and
pipe line was invented, and it now is
used chiefly for the transportation of
ir,iinurtured oils. J bis car is also used
in Russia.
The magnitude of t!i•? petroleum indus-
try made it necessary to find even a
cheaper means of transportation for
the crude oil than the railroad. The
pipe line was thought of o far back
as 18ri2, and a few years later a short
one of three miles was tried, but, for
somo reason, it was a failure, 1-inallv
a line was successful, and the acme of
success was reached w!r n oil was forced
through a pipe over a hill five hundred
feet high without breaking the iron.
l'or many years the owners and driv-
ers of wagons fought the new method
of transportation. They appealed ♦
the legislatui • of Pennsylvania, and
even cut the lines and set fire to the
tanks, but the pipe line Ti: s come to
stay, mid now the oil regions of Indi
ana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West \ ir
ginia are a network of pipes. Trunk
lines, pulsing with oil, reach from the
eastern fields to New York, Philadel
phia, Baltimore, Cleveland, Buffalo,
Pittsburg and Chicago. Now these lines
are to be tapped by one from Kansas,
and when it is laid the Standard Oil
company will have an artery ol petro
leuin traversing half the continent, lite
main lines convey to the larger cities
also refined oils, which How in pipes
by the side of the pipes which convey
the crude oil.
The pipe lines, Mr. Levy says, are
usually laid underground, with bends at
intervals to allow for expansion and
contraction. The pipe is especially made
of wrought iron. The pipe is made to
stand a pressure of two thousand pounds
to the square inch, and the oil moves
with great speed. At intervals storage
tanks of large capacity are established.
The oil is received from the station next
before into one tank while a pump
empties another. In this way the
movement of the oil is incessant. There
are no stops for repairs. If one pump
breaks down, its duplicate is ready to
take up the work. The Standard Oil
company never wastes time, material or
opportunity. Where the New York
trunk line passes under the Hudson
river, one pipe is placed within another,
with tight-Sitting sleeve joints. 'Hie line
is anchored at the bottom of the river
by a network of heavy chains fifty feet
wide. Upon this is laid heavy weights.
'I lie same method of construction, no
doubt, v\ ill be employed in laying the
v extern lia,. in the great rivers between
Chicago and Kansas. The pipe linos are
regularly patrolled by men to detect
leaks, and they are clea'ned by sendin/

to the dispatches,#a « msiderable y*\Tt
of Busiift'* Haltic ilcet Has ban mobil-
ized aud has already started for the
Far Hast. The composition oi this fleet
is as yet unknown, but it is unlikely
to include the five new battleships ..f
13,000 tons each, for it is not believed
that these could be put ill commission
ln-fore the spring. Ou the other hand,
it may comprclund four battleships of
a somewhat obsolete type, some protect-
ed cruisers and a number of torpedo
boats. Even If these vessels were al-
lowed to coal on their way, at French
c.mal stations, they would need at least
six weeks to reach the Yellow sea We
must assume, however, that the voyage
will cover ten weeks at the shortest,
because Franco, as a neutral, could not
permit the coaling of the squadion.
winch, therefore, would have to supply
itself from accompanying colliers, that
are proverbially slow. Long before the
Baltic fleet could arrive in Chinese wat-
ers it is probable that the naval situa-
tion there would have been changed so
materially to the advantage of Japan
that its succor would come too late, and
it would itself be fortunate to escape
destruction.
The most efficient and most prompt
sup()ort Russia could give her warships
in the Far East would be rendered by
her Black sea Heet, if that force could
pass the Dardanelles. It consists of the
battleships Tri SVnititelia, 12,800 tons;
the Kniaz Potemkin Tavritehesky, 12,f 00
tons; the George Pobeidonosets, JO,280
tons; the Tchesmc and the Sinop, each
10,180 tons; the Dvenadsat Apostolof, 8,-
500 tons; and the Rostislav, 8.800 tons,
together with a cruiser of about 3,000
tons displacement, and three torpedo
boats. If the greater part of these ves-
sels could reach the Yellow sea. they
should be able to effect a formidable di-
version. But i tis scarcely conceivable
that, against the earnest protest of Eng-
land, the Sultan Abdul Humid would
permit them to traverse the Bosphorus
and the Dardanelles, while, should they
force a passage, the indignation ex-
cited in Great Britain might force the
British government to side with Japan.
Our conclusion is that no timely and
effective re-enforcement of the Russian
warships cooped up in Port Arthur can
reasonably be looked for.

How Could Russia REeiiforce
Port Arthur Fleet
(From the New York Sun.)
The cruisers Nisshin a nd k a.saga,
built in Italy and recently purchased
by Japan, are expected to reach the
scene of war on Sunday. Soon, there-
fore. if not immediately, they will be
aide to increase sensibly Japan's
strength at spa. What counterbalancing
re-enforcements can be hoped for by
the Russian fleet at l'< rt Arthur, al-
ready crippled, and likely at any mo-
meat to become the object of another
attack ?
Ou paper, Russia possi -ses many more
battleships and cruisers than those
which t< - I. part at Port Arthur in the
actions of February 8'and 9. TYoni three,
if not four, different quarters re-enforce
ments are, or might be, ou their way. Of
such coadjutajtt sqUtultj;^.. t\yo are, or
might be, comparatively near. We refer
in the first place to the sq'mufroii of svar
vessels—consisting of the battleship O-
liabia, 12,074 tons; the unnoted cruiser
Dmitri Donskoi,, o,8t$ v. th'* com
merce destroyer Aurora. o,U30 tons, and
ten torpedo boat destroyers—which left
Suez not long alter the departure of the
two Japanese cruisers from that port,
and which is now, probably, in the In
dian ocean. The whereabouts of this
squadron, however, can be guessed by
Admiral Togo, commanding the princi-
pal Japanese fleet operating near Port
Arthur, and precautions have no doubt
la-en taken to prevent it from job.ng the
Russian warships lying under the guns
of that naval forties.
The second auxiliary force which we
have, in mind is that now or recently

rivers and creeks were also used. For
a while the smaller streams could be
used only when they were full of water,
but by resorting to "poml freshets'
thoy were made to carry boats almost
the year around. The larger creeks, cs
peeially Oil creek, had many mills at
their headwaters, and for a money con
bideration their owners consented to
"spill" their surplus water at stated in
terrain. By this means a stage of water
for fiatboat navigation was created
when needed. The boats were drawn up
stream to the oil wells by horses and,
when loaded, they were floated off on
a pond freshet. At Oil t'iiy, the oil wa*
transferred to larger boats and floated
to Pittsburg. In 1871 the boiler iron
cylinder ear of the present time came.
This was used.for the transportation of
both crude and lelim-d .« ib until the
300 tons; the armored cruiser Gromo-
voi, 12,330 tons; the armored cruiser
Rurik, 10,940 tons, and the protected
cruiser Bogatyr, together with a num-
ber of gunboats. The reports concern-
ing this squadron are c. M'h ting. A
cording to one acount. it is still ieebound
at Vladivostok; acording to another it
has paused through a channel opened
by ice breakers and has bombarded Ha-
kodate, on the southern end of the is-
land of Yezo. We probably may take
for granted that the jxisition of this
squadron is known to the Japanese in-
telligence department, and that ade-
quate measures have been taken to avert
it- junction with the chief Russian fleet
at Port Arthur.
It appears, then, that the crippled
fleet at Port Arthur can hardly ex-
pect reinforcements for many weeks to
(Minneapoli< Tribune.)
During the past few days reports from
the Far Ka-t hav referred to the Jap-
anese city of Hakodate, the dispatches
having stated soiue time ago that this
city vv:;> attacked and siwiiui-dy injured
I v* the Russian fleet from Vladivostok.
Later dispatches were authority for the
destruction of the Vladivostok squadron
though these were so confused as t i
the details that they were ,not at all
trustworthy.
The Japanese group contains four
huge islands e.i d the nort lu-i most t)f
these is Yc i. Thin iiland is separated
from the main island to the soutn by
Tsugaru strait, which is simply the con-
necting body of water between the
Japan sea \ ; the west and the Pacific
ocean to the cast. This strait forms
a deep, narrow channel between the
cliffs of either shore, and the entrance
from east or west is always more or
less dangerous because of treacherous
currents which come from the Japan
This section of the Japan coast is ty pi
eal of the whole, for numerous islands,
many of them but small rocks, abound,
and navigation is rendered hazardous
by reason of fog- prevalent in the
spring. The north shore, that formed
by Yezo, is particularly rocky, and a
continuous lire of cliffs greets the eye
of the traveler as he -ails up the straits.
Hakodate is on the north shore of
Tsugaru strait and is a city of from
fiftv to sixty thousand inhabitants. It
is situated at the foot of the iioitheiu
slope of a peninsula, which is almost an
i.-land, being connected with the main
Yezo shore by a low, sandy strip of
land.
The bay is entered from the south
and is nearly live miles wide at the en
trance, Hakodate Head lying to the
t*a t and Mu-sel Point to the west. The
town lies in a curve of the Hakodate
Head shore, and the harbor proper is
ju-t to the north of the city. This an
(horagc is landlocked and sheltered, and
forms one of the most spacious and s.«f
est harbors on the whole Japanese coast.
Hakodate Head on the east is a rocky
and precipitous point and the highest
peak of the head has an altitude of
nearly twelve hundred feet. It is here
that the Japanese have built their for-
tifications, but no one can tell the extent
of these, for all visitors aie excluded
from the place. An old fort is seen to
the left of the harbor but this has long
since fallen into disuse.
The real point of Interest about Hako-
date is found in the fad that the Rus-
sians at one time used this harbor as a
naval headquarters in the winter and
had quite a complete system of ware-
houses, workshops and general naval
equipment established. So the Russian
sailors must understand this part of the
Japanese coast, and for this reason prob-
ably made their attack at this point.
It would seem foolhardy for a hostile

chemists of the t'nifpd States (Geological
Mirvev could find no trace of gold in
all the 71 samples from that district
that they assayed for the yellow metal.
Ten samples were examined for stover,
but in only two samples was any indica-
tion of silver detected. These showed
only 0.14 oz and 0.02 oz per ton re-
spectively. In two other samples copper
was found, 0,351 per cent in one sample
and 10.SI per cent in the other. One
sample also showed .'$.03 per cent of
lead. Ill these case-, however, the small
amount of ore available more than off-
sets the value.
Disappointing as the results of this
investigation must be to the people of
Oklahoma, some basis for their hope of
mineral wealth may be contained in the
statement that, although no precious
metals were found in the samples exam
ined, discovery was afterward made in
one of the samples of the interesting
mineral called eolumbite. It is not
known that eolumbite has any specific
value of its own, but its presence is al-
ways significant, for it is known to
have a fondness for the society of cer-
tain minerals that contain rare and val-
uable earths. Among these is saiuars-
kite, the source of thorium, which is in
demand for use in the manufacture of
mantels for Welsbach lights. Pitchblend,
another of these minerals, is the ptinei
pal source of radium, and shines nowa-
days with more than usual effulgence in
the firmament of mineral substances. It
may therefore come to pass that
small quantity of rare earth is worth al
most as much to Oklahoma as a large
quantity of precious metal. Requests
have been made bv the survey for other
samples from near'Roosevelt, the locality
whence came the sample containing the
eolumbite.
It was Mr. H. Poster Bain of tin-
United States Geological Survey who, at
the request of the -"crctary o! the inter-
ior, made a reco.nn --anee of the \\ i<h
it a mountains last fall, with the e-pc al
purpose of studying the reported occur
icme of ores <-i .upper, lead, and pre
ious metals. He t'dlected a large ,ium
lier of samples, vh:« U were carefully as-
sayed by Mr. Kugene T. Allen, chemical
geologist of the survey. In view of the
absolutely uniform absence of even a
trace of gold ar. 1 only the occasional
presence of a small quantity of silver,
copper, or lead, Air. Bain was f< reed to
report that none of the prospects exam-
ined showed any ore in the proper sense
of the term, and that none of them had
any present or probable future value.
He added that it was impossible to - ty
whether future j rospo( ting might not re-
veal other occurrences which do have
value. It is believed, however, that the
prospects examined were fully rcpie
sentativc and had in many, causes bec.i
developed e\. nigli to allow ; proper
judgment to be made as to their value.
In rio case do they offer a:iy •entourage
ment whatever-for additional prospect

Mr. Bain expect * to discuss the mat-
ter more in detail in a paper to be in-
cluded in a bulletin entitled "(ontril u
tions to Economic Oeology, 1003/' which
will probably be ready for distribution
about May 1. One signific ant discovery
made by Mr. Bain was the o( , urrcn< e

"Moonshine whi-k.v i> often made un

make it just the same, and as a producer
of picturesque, gaudy, rollicking and
desperate jags, there is nothing like it
under the sun. There is a reason, to
be sure, why men engaged in this bind
nesa arc not particularly envious to
have an expensive outfit. It is easier
to bide a few things than it is a whol •
carload in the event of a surprise bv
a revenue officer. Besides, the appeal
ance of a few ordinary and common
place utensils it not so apt to develop
suspicion as more expensive equipment
at once of these places. I am reminded
of this by a fact that developed in the
mountains of Kentucky some time ago.
"For some reason state troops had
been thrown into the region at that
particular time, and the officer in com
maud found thev were doing a great
amount of drinking. As a matter of
fact, the officer himself had lieeti drink-
ing a bit, but had come upon
a lucid moment, and it occurred to him
that he had better make a few inquiries
and find out where the stuff was coin
ing from. He did. And he found out in
a short time. The still was not raided,
nor did the officer make any attempct
to confiscate the paraphernalia. The
fact is. the whiskv was being mail - in
the military kitchen, in the pans and
pots belonging to the state, and out of
meal that bad been furnished to fe.-d
the soldiers. Of course, the thing was
stopped by the officer But the instance
serves to show the point it h I in mill I
namely, that the moonsbm r dot-sn t
need a very extensive equipment. Oive
him a pot. a bag of meal and some
water, and he will produce as fine a
brand of mountain dew as you would
care to find."

How President Preferred to Talk
With an Oklahoma Mari
The Kansas C ity Times publishes un
interview with Hon. ( ash ( ade in which
un interesting anecdote ifc related of
Buffalo Jones, a former Oklahoma citi-
zen. Mr. t *do said:
"Vou remember Buffalo Jones, who
lived in Perry and wa* sergeant at arms
of the lower house of the legislature
in 1807. Well in some way, ' got the
idea into my head that 'Buffalo* was
dead, but learned lately that lie in in

home bound woman is weak, as would

There are two excuses that keep a
woman home, says this reformer house- \
work and babies—but professionalism .
has robbed women of one excuse, and it 1
OUght to take away the other bdbiet. ,
The mother is not aahamed to tiust j
to professionalism while the child is
ill. and, say s Mrs. Oilmsn, she had bet- |
ter let professionalism train it, during |
its growth, for it has been shown that
children reared in properly managed
nurseries are the strongest. And, while |
the child is being professionally cared
for and the mothei is following her own j
chosen occupation, the home will not j
cease to be a home, but it will be .til |

It has been said that thunderstorms
are intlueuced by the in ion. Nearly
12,01)0 observations collected by the
I . ited States weather bureau, shows a
preponderance of i 3 per cent in the tli.it
half of the luiinr month. The greatest
number of thunderstorms come between
the new moon and the first quarter; the
h i number between the full moon
aud the last quarter. This is, perhaps,

Many animals post-- s more than two

leech, for example, has ten eyes on the

has two eyes on the head and a row
down each side of the body. Some liz-
1|(| have an extra eye on the top of
the bead which does not act with tho
