The Marvellous Texas Oil Field.

Mr.. I. r. Hoover, a Pennsyl-
vania expert, figures the flow of
the wells in the Beaumont oil dis
trict of Texas at 100000 barrels
day, and predicts as the result of
this marvellous fiow::a complete rev.
volution in the fuel situation.
Tho total petroleum product of
the country in 1899 was less than
90, OOO,OO barrels. According to
Mr.. Hoover's figures the Beaumont
wells will gush that quantity in
twelve days; 10 year they will
multiply by thirty the entire form
err output. 1t is no wonder that
the Texas problem is not how TO
get the oil, but how to get rid of
it.
The Texas oil is of rather low
grade, but It's cheapness aud album
dance adapt it for fuel use. AL
ready many railroad engines In the
southwest are being equipped to
burn it as fuel, and there is no
reason apparent why is should not
soon turn the wheels of many
mill and factory. Considering the
growing cost OF coal, the discovery
o f a new and prolific source of
cheap commercial fuel may prove
of the utmost Importance in the
expanding industry of the country.

Two wrongs don't make right,
it is true, but when people loudly
parade one wrong and carefully
abstain from mentioning its twin,
in which, they themselves are en-

another is a poor policy. The pos
Utility of worse results under such
q substitution is enough to "glve
