PRAIRIE FILES TARIFF SHEET.
The long looked for tariff has been filed.
The Prairie Oil & Oa company has final-
ly come across with its tariff rates and
they are the most intcrestnlg documents
ever filed for the benefit of the public.
The big people are so large that they can
afford to bother with nothing less than
100,000 barrels —ONE HUNDRED THOU-
SAND BAHREIN.
The rates are a fright and one would
hardly understand the necessity of build-
gin pipelines, so little is the difference.
The Rate Follows.

conditions It Is believed that the cora-
pany'a vailous refineries can run at the
present rate for about three weeks.
If conditions don't improve by then
it will be necessary to d.scharge a part
of the working force, but, it is stated,
in any event the company will keep a.
least three quarters of Its employes at
work.
Most of the New York company's
vessels are under the British flag, and
i It is felt, therefore, that the company
j Is not !n quite so bad a position as the

LONDON, Aug. 17 (6:30 a. m.)—A
trip over the battlefield of Diest, Bel-
gium is .described by the Brussels cor- i
respondent of the Dally News. He says:|
"I remember best a brown stretch of j
harrowed ground half a furlong long,
which is the grave of 1,200 Germans who
fell In the fighting of Wednesday. All
over the field are other graves, some of
Germans, some of Belgians and some
of horses.
"When I reached the place peasants
still were engaged In the work of bury- !
Ing. The gattle ground is about three!
miles lonr with the harshly scarred vil- '
lage of Haelen at one end. Its houses
are pierced with bullet holes. Hardly aj
pane of g,ass remains. The church spire
is tumbled over and the town clock
wrenched from Its place.
"As 1 passed across the battlefield a
German biplane swept by like a carrion
crow, seeking other victims. Later In
the day 1 visited the Bruges prison
where 400 Germans are held. I never be-
fore saw men sleep as these men d'd.
They lay llk*> logs after seven days and
n'ghts of almost constant duty on the
field of battle. These prisoners are no
cowards. They surrendered only When
no other course was possible.
They v.ere victims of ttye German
military system which drills men out of
all Independence."

STANDARD OIL OF INDIANA
No Reduction in Price Since the Half-
Cent Cut Several Days Ago.
Chicago—-An officer of the Standard Oil
company of Indiana says to the Wall
street Journal: "There has been no re-
duction in prices since the cut of one-half
cent a gallon in gasoline announced sev-
eral days ago. Our business Is entirely
domestic. We have felt scarcely any ef-
fect of the European war, so far as sales
are concerned. There has been no reduc-
tion of forces at the Whiting or any of
ur refineries, nor have we reduced our
road forces."

view the new manner of doing business
with astonishment, as one puts it 'why

The new rates w^ille high will still turn
this business to the Prairie Oil and Gas
company as its rate, although n bK
higher, will be by pipe line and there*

DEXTER'S GOOD WELL.
Winfield Courier: The Monitor Oil
& Gas company's oil well on the S. S.
Dobson farm just south of Dexter is said
to be all that was claimed for It in yes-
terday's Courier.
Mr. Dobson was in Dexter yesterday
atul visited the well. Owing to the fact
that the well has not been properly
cased and there Is some danger attendant
to spectators near It, visitors were not
permitted to inspect It, but Mr. Dobson
was allowed to look It over. He says the
well was flowing as stated in last even-
ing's Courier, and that the oil was being
saved by a 10-barrei tank.
A cave-In yesterday and 200 feet of
water above the oil temporarily choked
the well. As soon as it is cleaned out and
the five-inch casing lowered, the Monitor
company will have no objection to visit-
ors. according to Mr. Dobson.
other parties who hold a lease on an
eighty of Mr. Dobson's joining this well
are expected to commence drilling an off-
set In the near future and the Monitor
company will doubtless continue develop-
ment of its lease as fast as possible.—

Pittsburgh. Pa., Aug. 14, 1914.
Jo. P. Cappeau Sons, members Pittsburgh
Stock Exchange, 223 Fourth Avenue.
Throughout the entire two weeks of
°uspended trading and practically all the
securities markets of the country one fact
has stood out in bold relief against the
background of circulation and uncertain-
ty, It is that the basic conditions of this
country are sound. Industry in many
channels has been checked, while .stimu-
lated ln others. The oil industry espec-
ially has felt interruption of foregln com-
merce through all branches of the trade.
The exports of mineral oils for the fiscal
year ending June, 1914, were 2,269,21S,073
gallons, valued at $150,879,856, whil the
total value of the country's exports of
wheat, corn, flour other food stuffs
totaled only $'156,781,^ for the same
period.
The following ruling was made by the
board of directors of the Pittsburgh stock
exchange Aug. 13, 1914: "Members de-
siring to buy securities for cash may send
a list of game to the committee on
securities, giving the amount of securi-
ties wanted and prices they are willing to
pay. No offer to buy at less than the
closing prices of July 30. 1914, will be
considered. Members desiring to sell se-
curities but only in order to relieves the
necessities of themselves or their custom-
ers, may send a list of the same to the
committee on securities giving the
amounts of the security for sale. No
price less than the closing prices of July
30. 1914, will be considered."
Today the committee on securities re-
ported that they were very much grat-
ified with the large number of buying or-
ders they had received which nearly
counterbalanced all selling orders.
While the oil business is greatly de-
pressed at the present time, the prevail-
ing conditions cannot last forever and it
it. the general opinion that a wave of
prosperity will set ln after the European
war has come to a close.
The natural gas business has in no way-
been affected by the European situation
and we would advise investors to care-
fully consider this class of securities
Most of the companies are selling on bet-
ter than a 7 per" cent basis and from all
reports their earnings for the present fis-
cal year will show a nice increase over
those of the previous year. The following
