doubt resulted in the shutting down of
most of the rigs for the day.

A question that is now engaging the
attention of oil men is the relative cost
of piping the oil TO deep water and trans

4. Towne, who is at the head OF the com.
pany that Is erecting the big plant at Gngs-
by's Blun, a few miles down the Neches
river, has figured it out that the barges
afford the cheaper tri deportation, the cost
OF LAYING and maintaining a pipe line
aud the nui ding and running of pumping
stations being greater than the cost OF
constructing and operating barges. It Is
that u.pe lines will rust out very rapidly
