49, LEI sUPPLY.

One of the immediate effects OF the
opening of the new source Of fuel sup
ply in Texas is to place all industrial
establishments ia that section depend
ing upon steam power upon a more
favorable economic basis This applies
to cotton mills, to cotton-seed mills, to
cane grinding mills. and all others
where coal fuel has hitherto been an
expensive element in the cost of pro-
duction- The producers Of fuel oil are
well aware Of this opportunity to sub
stitute and are making provisions to
distribute fuel oil at all railroad points
and points accessible to navigation.
The influence OF this new factor viii
be felt far beyond the localities direct
~ affected. If the use of fuel oil be-
comes extensive enough it may ma
terially reduce the price OF coal at the
lower Mississippi centers OF consump-
ton and also give new stimulus to
manufacturers in Texas and adjacent
territory.
The opening of the Beaumont, Tex,
oil fields has required new facilities for
transportation to the seaboard for that
commodity. For this purpose a pipe
line has been constructed from the oil
tanks at Beaumont to the ship side Of
the channel leading to Port Arthur, a
distance of over is miles. Three tanks,
OF 1000 barrels capacity each, are lo-
Gated at Elvista, about IA idway between
the wells and the seaport. from which
intermediate station it is calculated
that the oil will flow by gravity.
An additional pipe line was opened
February 3, 1901, for the conveying of
petroleum from Bradford. Pa, in the
northwestern portion OF the state. to
Marcushook, Pa. a Underwater point in
the Delaware river below Philadelphia.
The line extends a distance of $50 miles.
from Bradford to Marcushook. the dis
tributing point, where large storage
tanks have been built with a capacity
Of &c, 900 barrels. The flow is by gravi-
tation solely for the last 200 miles of the
distance. A special pier of $50 feet in
length has been constructed into the
river for loading steamers. Wharfage
has been secured at four European
ports. and a fleet of ten modern oil
carriers has been built expressly for
this trade

KANSAS WANTS HELP AGAIN.

from the Chicago Times-H erald.J
Kansas is in trouble again. This will
not be likely to come as a shock to the
public. Kansas is in trouble so often
that people have ceased to get excited
over the announcements Of fresh out
breaks. But this is really serious. kan
sas must have 10000 hands to help har-
vest her wheat crop. which viii soon
be ready for reaping and thrashing.
A statement similar to this was sent
out Of Kansas last year. and we may
expect another next year. Kansas sim
ply cannot take care Of her crops any
more without help from somewhere. she
has too much else to do Funston. for
instance. is away being a hero. and with
him are many other Kansas men who
might do good work in harvest fields
If they had the time or inclination: but
there are swamps to be waded. thickets
to be plunged into, Insurgents to be
captured.
william Allen White is kept busy
writing up the Kansas heroes for mag
aziness SO that he cannot help with the
crops; many other strong men are try
ing to straighten out the complications
brought about by Mrs Nation; others
are busy talking about the stability er
Instability Of our institutions. and stin
others are working overtime trying to
discover some way In which Colorado
can be prevented from absorbing the
Arkansas river before it enters the Sun
flower state.
Thus we see why it is that Kansas
must have outside help when 1t comes
time to harvest her crops Kansas can
always be depended upon to create trou-
bic that will engage the attention Of
mankind; she can produce heroes, ora
tors and fanatics to supply the world IL
