This company owns the biggest oil
well in the world.
The following statistics suggest its
amazing character:
Flowing capacity per day $4,000 bbls.
Value of daily production at 40
cents per barrel .......... $40, 900
Should this production be maintain
ed for only one year, this single we'll
would produce $1,000, 900.
In addition to the above named we'll
the company owns, under lease, the oil
rights of two hundred thousand acres
of what it believes to be the most val
liable oil lands IN Texas, which will be
speedily developed.
THE PRODUCT AND THE MARKET.
This is a fuel OIL three and a half
barrels of which have a fuel value
equal to one ton Of the best soft coal.
Oil is rapidly supplanting coal for
manufacturing, railway, and heating
purposes, and the market for it is prac-
tically unlimited
The company proposes to become its
own distributor to the leading coal con-
Stunning points of the world. Because
of its enormous productive capacity
and its proximity to the seaboard it
will be able to market its product at
the lowest cost known in the history
of oil production.
To this end it proposes to at once
construct immense storage tanks and
it's own pipe line to Port Arthur,
Texas, on the Gulf of Mexico. This is
a distance of less than twenty miles
from the present well. From this point
the oil will be distributed by the COM
pany's own system of tank barges and
steamers to the worlds markets. The
vast trade possibilities which will thus
be opened UP are almost inconceivably
great.

The Pelter Case.

The whole town seemed to be
interested in the case of the State
VS.. C. A. Pelter, wherein the lat
ter is charged with assault with
intent to kill, on David Price.
The evidence was all in Tuesday
evening, and after supper the
court room was packed as it
never had been before to hear the
arguments of the attorneys. The
pleadings of e. c. Cole and Jas.
W. Clarke, for the state were
wonderful flights of oratory,
while D. A. Banta, for the de-
Tense, made the effort of his life.
The jury was given the case and
retired to the jury room Wednes-
day morning.
AS we go to press-at 4 p NJ.
Wednesday-the Jury has not
yet arrived at a verdict.

evening when he was in the court

the disease has become pretty

DR.. Wilcox, Wednesday morning

Immediately placed in quaren-
tine, at the Elkhorn hotel, and
the court room fumigated.
If DR.. Wilcox is afflicted with
this disease, and knowing him
self so afflicted, has mixed with
the public in the court room and
on the streets, he certainly has
used very bad Judgment, and
drawn unto himself public indig-
nation. No matter if his theory
is that the disease is NOT small
pox, he should have had due re-
gard for the law as interpreted
by it's sworn officers, and should
have conformed to the rules and
regulations that others are con
forming to.

The Conservative, 1901-03-21
The CONsERvA-

for opposing un-
necessary duplication in the construc-
tion and equipment Of public buildings
In special message to the legislature he
has made sensible recommendation in
regard to the lighting of state institu-
tions located at the capital city that de-
serves the appreciation of our law
makers. He suggests that money be
appropriated for the building of COM
mon lighting plant in conjunction with
the electrical plant Of the state univer-
sity. AS the governor points out there
would be a two-fold advantage in the
proposed arrangement. 1t would result
in an annual saving to the state of
0,496, or fifty per cent. And in ad-
dition to this economy it would equip
our state university with one Of the best
electrical plants in the country and give
the electrical department. a rank second
to none.
Relative to the cost of the proposed
plan the governor says:
"The cost of instituting such plant
as is proposed, including all the wiring
and material needed, would not exceed
$50, 900 so that the amount saved the state
each year, to say nothing of the advan-
tages in the way of adequate lighting,
convenience and education, would in
less than five years be sufficient to pay
the entire original cost.
"The proposed plan contemplates the
enlargement of the electrical plant at
the university. Prof. Morgan Brooks
of the department of electrical engineer
ing at the university, who very kindly
at my request, investigated into the
matter and from whose estimates these
deductions are drawn, says that for
$50, 900 or possibly less, the university
plant can be enlarged so as to furnish
light for all of said buildings day and
night and the necessary power to operate
the machinery at the penitentiary and
furnish such power as is needed at the
asylum together with necessary motors.
This plan also provides for the use of
exhaust steam for heating the university
and the expense OF rearranging the heat
ing plant to that end is included in the
foregoing estimate. Conditioned upon
such an improvement in the facilities
lOI tctiCllAHS tuu uuOlHOuoV1oUAASo WOAh LII
electricity it is possible if not probable
that the board of regents will agree to
defray the expense of rearranging the
heating system out of funds of that in
stitution and thus make corresponding
decrease, approximately $4,000, in the
cost to the state.
"There are many reasons why such
plant as is proposed should be located at
the university. 1t means that the
machinery will have close inspection
and be under constant supervision Of
expert electricians at all times without
additional expense. 1t means saving
in the cost of boiler house and stack.
And it means-and this is a most signif
cant feature, considering the part cleo
tricity promises to play in the future as
a concomitant inventive genius-that the
