The I4,ma-chicago pipe Line.

L5L
Minneapolis Journal: Chicago is quite
elated over the completion and success
fal test OF the pipe line which is TO carry
crude OIL IN q steady stream OF 1000
barrels q day from Lima, Ohio, to sonth
Chicago. The pipe is eight inches in
diameter and is made OF wrought iron.
It is 206; miles long and was built in
three months and twenty days. 1t wss
expected that the oil couid be carried
shrouRh by grayitation but the pipe
which follows the line Of the Chicago and
| Atlantic railway, had to be carried over q
sand hill at Laketen, Ind, to O height
higher than the starting point at Lima.
Ii was feared that ssiphon might not
carry the oil over this obstruction fast
enough and powerful pump has been
erected ct Lima which will force the oil
through at the rate OF about 20 miles a
day.
A week ago last Saturday the big
pump at Lima was connected with o
strtsm OF water there and water was
fori,ed through 20 clean the pipe and test
it's strength. The alter which started
from Lima on the day above mentioned
reached Chicago last Sunday. having
been eight days in coming. Yesterday
the oil was started from LINN, and the
first OF it is expected to reach south
Chicago Q week from next Thursday, q
longer time being required for the oil
to make the trip than was required for
the water,
This oil IL being brought TO Chicago
to be used rs fuel, and the pipe line is TO
take the place of the tank cars by which
~ mas heretofore been transported. The
characterization of oil such a long dig
Itanee in pipes is interesting an another
notable instance OF the application of
modern science and modern engineering
TO the annihilasionl OF dmtsnce. Hlmiliar
pipes lines are in operation between the
oil ASids OF P~snnsylvsnl 10 and the citles
Of New York Philadelphia and Pitts.

A Very Consistent Fusion.

Tho Michigan Democrats and Green.
hackers have fused upon a platform whose
only intelligent principle is an agreement
to divide the offices. The joint resolu-
lions are naturally as silent upon the
Greenback principle of fat money as upon
the question of indorsing the financial
policy of Cleveland's administration. But
the conventions are very clear upon one
point. The G~reenbackers are to have
three state officers and three electors, and
the Democrats the rest, if they can get
them. st. Paul Pioneer Press.
