Interesting Items of the New State Told
In Few Words For Our Busy Readers
that Jack's pastimes are of the
wholesouled healthful sort that
refresh him In mind and body
as well as amuse him Music
plays a most Important part In the
lighter side of life In the American
pavy both as the accompaniment of
the frolics of all kinds and as an en-
tertainer In Itself
The foremost factor in the musical
resources of a XI S warship is of
course the ship’s band which may
number anywhere from a dozen to six-
teen pieces and is made up of men
regularly enlisted as musicians The
bandsmen perhaps because they de-
vote their entire time to the musical
Vocation and have ample opportunity
for practise are almost Invariably
skilled musicians and their ensemble
work Is excellent Not oniy do they
play on all festal occasions on ship-
board and in the parades on shore but
their music is also brought Into re-
quisition at times to hearten Jack for
his work notably on the occasion of
the always arduous chore of “coaling
ship" While the bluejackets hot and
grimy are hoisting the fuel aboard
jthe band Is stationed on deck dis-
coursing the liveliest airs to keep
their spirits from flagging
The band also gives dally concerts
on board sometimes several times a
day but probably the one that Is en-
joyed most by the Jackies Is- the re-
cital at the noon hour for half an hour
following the mid-day meal The se-
lections are almost always of the most
enlivening character — waltzes and
two steps — and numbers of the boys
dance on deck during this Interim In-
deed there Is no more picturesque
spectacle in the routine of naval life
than that afforded by the tars In their
white duck uniforms circling round
and round the cleared space on the
forward deck the smooth boards of
which make an ideal dancing floor
The bluejackets have their own mu
The World’s Greatest
ITUATED two miles north
or Maricopa In Kern
county California in
whht is known as the
Kern River oil field
there Is the greatest oil
well known to the world It is known
as Lakevlew No 1 For some months
It has been spouting forth a dally av-
erage of 50000 barrels of oil worth
165 cents a barrel where It gushes
from the earth
This extraordinary well has an In-
teresting history Its sinking was be-
gun In the summer of 1909 and by
Octobeg a depth of nearly 2200 feet
jhad been reached At that point the
idrlll encountered an enormous pres-
sure which forced earth gravel and
rock upward In the 'hole for a dis-
tance of several feet New wells are
often filled In that way the matter
jforced upward In the tube being so
lloose that It ban be removed with a
bailer In the present case however
ithe well was packed so tightly that
redrilling was necessary
Sometimes the drillers would gain
on the pressure In the earth at other
jtlmes they would lose The result
Was that in five months or to March
(15 1910 the net Increase in depth
of the bore was only 50 feet The
well had been sunk Into an oil sand
but It was believed that by going
to a greater depth the chance of
securing a large flow of oil would be
Increased Finally however when
five months’ work had accomplished
so greater result than is often gained
ln a single day under ordinary cir-
cumstances the directors of the com-
pany owning the Lakevlew well de-
cided that It would be unwise to try
to drill farther The local superin-
Ended accordingly was instructed
stop drilling and to permit the well
begin producing at the depth
reached
Oil Came With a Roar
When the message was delivered
sic quite aside from that contributed
by the band As might be expected a
floating community of from 500 to
1000 men includes many - musicians
and they are seldom loath to display
their accomplishments for the benefit
of their shipmates Among the boys
banjos guitars and mandolins are the
favorite instruments but there are a
number of violins and other Instru-
ments On some ships the boys have
formed glee clubs whose songs usu-
ally specially composed are a distinct
aid to the program at the minstrel
shows and other entertainments held
on shipboard from time to time
After all however the greatest en-
thusiasm aroused by any form of mu-
sic on shipboard Is that evoked by the
comparatively new mediums the
phonograph and - the player piano
fhere Is scarcely a ship In Uncle
Sam's navy that has not Its talking
machine and player piano and some-
times there are several of the lnstru-
the well was spouting oil at the rate
of 10000 barrels a day This was on
March 15 In 24 hours the flow In-
creased to 20000 barrels daily and In
a week the average output was 40-
000 In another week the average
yield rose to 50000 barrels varying
usually from 40000 to 54000 Occa-
sionally for a few hours the well
produced at the rate of 90000 barrels
a day This enormous production fol-
lowed the ejection of rock and shell
from the tube these having formed
obstructions that temporarily checked
the flow
The oil came from the earth with
a roar like that of a great conflagra-
tion Forced by tremendous pressure
It shot as high as 350 feet Into the
air the black smoky-looking col-
umn being visible miles away It was
scattered In spray for a long distance
around the well making it impossible
to - continue operations on adjacent
properties owing to the danger of
fire
A hundred-barrel well Is a good one
and a well that yielded 2000 barrels
dally had been regarded as a phenom-
enon Such a gusher as the Lakevlew
was beyond all previous calculations
and the problem of saving and stor-
ing Its enormous output was no easy
one The tanks that had been pro-
vided were like infantile clothing for
a giant As many men and teams as
could be secured at double rates of
pay were put to work night and day
building earthen reservoirs
Finally a dam was thrown across
a canyon a mile from the well and a
million-barrel reservoir formed For-
tunately a XIpe line Just completed
between the Interior oil fields and
tidewater passes 'near the well and
soon oil was running through It to
tank steamers
Controlling the Output
In the meantime there was another
problem that of controlling the flow
of the well so that mors of the out
The money to purchase the talking
machines and pianos is raised by sub-
scription or assessment of the ship's
company and Jack with proverbial!
prodigality always insists upon the
best Instrument obtainable regardless
of price In similar manner funds are
raised for the purchase at regular in
tervals of new supplies of phonograph
records and player piano rolls but oft-
times the bluejackets will make Indi-
vidual purchases on their own hook
and donate the new acquisitions to the
ship Especially is this the case with
phonograph records and the haste
manifested by the boys embraces ev-
erything from grand opera by world
famous singers to the latest topical
songs by vaudeville favorites The
ships of the navy also have an “ex-
change" system whereby records and
rolls alike to moving picture films
are exchanged In order to give the
men on each vessel the widest possi-
ble variety v
Oil Well
put might be1 saved — for much was
being lost by scattering and by evap-
oration and percolation — and to he-
move the danger to adjacent property
The tubing or casing that Is put down
from top to bottom of an oil well can
ordinarly be capped by the use of
valves at the top of the well but with
the Lakevlew that was impossible’
There was no practical method of ap-
plying weights or force sufficient to
restrain the great pressure coming up
from the depths of the earth and had
It been possible to do bo the destruc-
tion of the casing and the ruin of the
well would probably have resulted
Such a problem had never been pre-
sented to oil men before But after
many efforts It was solved and the
solution seemed as simple as it was
efficient
Working In a shower of oil a large
number of men built rapidly around
the top of the well a huge bank which
was buttressed with stones and with
sacks of sand and earth This tank
filled quickly with oil Into which the
stream of petroleum from the well was
shot With all Its speed and force
the outflow could make Its way but a
few feet above the springy mass of
Impounded soil '
-Thus the monster was fettered The
conquered pressure now expands its
final energy in hissing and writhing
making the oil tank boil like some
huge caldron A small river of oil
flows as gently as a brook from the
well to the reservoirs
At first it was impossible to ap-
proach the well nearer than a mile
without being spattered with oil Peo-
ple who traveled from all parts of the
state to see the gusher watched It
from adjacent hills Now visitors can
go within a few feet of the well They
are watched constantly by more than
a score of guards whose principal
business it Is tp see that there are no
lighted cigars or matches that might
start a conflagration

Suit Filed Haskell Mentioned
' Bartlesville Okla — A somewhat
formidable echo cf the $300 000 failure
of the Columbia Bank and Trust com-
pany a year ago was heard at Bartles-
ville Wednesday when a suit was filed
charging Governor Haskell and the
state banking board of conspiring to
defraud the Bartlesville American Na-
tional bank stockholders out of $50000
worth of Renfro Oil company stock
This bank capital $100000 was one
of the string of Oklahoma financial In-
stitutions that went down when the
spectacular W L Norton boom burst-
ed When the above dispatch was
shown to Governor C N Haskell re-
cently he said: “The stock belonged
to the Columbia bank assets and We
took possession of it along with all
other assets We propose to retain it
It belongs to the assets of the Colum-
bia bank we’s got possession and
propose to maintain possession Pos-
session you know is said to constitute
90 per cent of the law” and the gover-
nor smiled “The legal controversy
Is purely one of ownership” -

History of Red Cross 8eal
“Charity stamps” first usde In
Boston In 1862 for the soldiers’ relief
funds during the Civil war were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions The Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis
society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use of a stamp
for the purpose of getting revenue to
fight consumption In a hastily or-
ganized campaign of only three weeks
they realized $3000 The next year
1908 the American Red Cross con-
ducted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign From this sale $135-
000 was realized for the anti-tuberculosis
movement In 1909 under many
adverse conditions $250000 was rea-
lized from these stamps This year
the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters
