Beaumont, Tex, April 26-The Beaumont Oil

Standard Oil Company had purchased the railroad
terminals. wharves and shipping facilities at Port
Arthur and ninety thousand of land sur
rounding the port. The price not given. Port
Arthur is the nearest deep water port the Beau

ard Oil Company can control every barrel of oil
taken from the Beaumont fields. The railroads
cannot compete in freight rates with pipe line and
ship by way of Port Arthur to New Orleans and
Galveston. By owning Port Arthur the Standard
Oil Company will control even the domestic trade
in crude oil. No here doubted that the
Standard Oil Company would ultimately get
troll of this oil field, but appears to have
foreseen the purchase of Port Arthur by the
