Guthrie. Okln Sept. 24.—Senator-
ttraln and Yeager, long known as th.
peclal guardians of Independent 0
iroducers In Oklahoma, were In Gutl

These senators are the authors o'
he noted Yeager-Stratn pipeline law
They atated yesterday that they hai'
corresponded with a majority of thi
members of the Oklahoma Legislature
and that they had received anawer>
from a majority that the program
would go through without a hitch.
They aald they had no doubt that the
governor would convene the Legisla-
ture In extra session when he had
looked at their correspondence and
listened to their story.
The Yeager-Straln program Is auc-
clnctly this. The Issuance of 12.000,-
000 bonds by the 8tate pipe lines to
Galveston from the Oklahoma field,
one line, of eight Inches In diameter,
tn carry crude oil, and the other, a
four-Inch pipe, to carry the refined
product.
One of the prime feature! that will
he urged In favor of the proposition
Is that actual operation of the pro-
posed parallel llnea would be a dla-
tlnct disadvantage to the Standard
Oil and Ita subsidiary companies,
which now control the output It la
claimed that the new market would
Induce the establishment of new re-
fineries, besides proving of Ines-
timable benefit to those already lo-
cated at Muskogee, Tulsa and Ok-
mulgee.
The effect would also be to raise
the price of oil. It la urged.
The Standard Is now paying only
35 cents per barrel for the crude.
The producera have to sell to the
Standard because there Is no other
market. The effect of the low price
Is the curtailing of production. If
the State pipe lines were built It Is
cla'med the production, now annually
estimated at $20,000,000, would be
doubled.
Crude oil Is largely shipped hy rail
now by the Independents at a freight
barrel. It wohIA
THE COW TREE.

Bread and Fruit.
Groves of cow trees, such as are to
be found lu hilly dl*trlcta of certain
porta of South America, are said to
be a wonderful sight. These trees
which. It need acurcely be wild, do
not actually reeemble cows, grow to
great height, yet for lengths of |ier-
bap* fifty feel tbey are unite without
branches. Near the top tliey expand
Into thick heads of foliage, however,
and display a matted texture of leaves
and brancbea.

at daybreak or evening you might
have the atirprlslng pleasure of seeing
the natives come to uillk the cow tree*.
A hole Is bored Into the heart of the
trunk. From till* hole there pours a
uillky fluid much esteemed as a drink
by some. If this fluid Is put aside for
aouie time a thick white cake form*
at the top of It. while tieneath there
remains only a clear liquid.
l'he fruit of the tree Is also esteemed
as food. It la of moderate size and
contains one or two nuts which are

In their flavor. And this Is not all. A
kind of bread Is made from the bark
