ROCKEFELLER FEARS
 OIL FAMINE.
That is the Reason Given for the Ad-
 vance in the Price of Crude Oil.

That is the Reason Given for the Ad- vance in the Price of Crude Oil.
 New York special
 Inspired by the fear that natures sup ply of oil is giving out, John D. Rocke- feller yesterday ordered the Standard oil Company to restore the price of crude on to the figure from which 1t was cut last May, hoping thus to excite oil specu- lators to do more vigorous boring for the mineral. This means an advance of three cents a barrel for Pennsylvania oil and two cents for Ohio.
 It is an admitted fact that with all the new discoveries of oil. the production of refinable oil is decreasing. Much of the new oil in the Southwest is goiHg to waste for lack of a method of refining.
 Consumption of oil is running ahead of production by about 1000 barrels day. and the trust has only about 5.OOO,OOO berrels of Eastern oil and 100000 of Western ahead. Thus the reserve will be all wiped out in three years at the most. But as the uses of oil are growing and the world wide demand is stronger. the reserve is certain to be gone within a much shorter time
 As an illustration of the extent to which the oil supplies are disappearing, it is announced that formerly there was a reserve of 40000,0 000 barrels of Eastern oil and 24.000.OOO of Western OH, making total of 64000.000 barrels, against total of 21.0O0,00O at present. The daily con sumption of oil is about GO,0O0 barrels of Lima and 5000 of Pennsylvania.
 Following its ancient policy of doing no speculation. but of taking advantage of the discoveries of spectators, the Stand ard has watched with dismay the numr erous dry holes bored throughout what seemed to be promising oil regions. The many failures have resulted in dispo- sition among specVlators to abandon the business of boring wells, and 1t is to stir them up again that the price of oil is advanced.
 Never before was the prospects of for tune better for owners of really good wells, but most of the properties now be- ing exploited are worthless.

the saws through the pitch soaked fibres
| of the log. For this reason the lumber
men have cut the trees, frequently eight
to ten feet in diameter, at height of 20
feet from the ground. This left the pitch
soaked stump standing, to be burned or
| allowed to rot away.
Announcing the results OF his discov-
cries, Professor Frankforter said today ::
"It has long been known that the pitch
in the abandoned stumps had CONNER
| cial value, but the means of extracting
it have not been at hand. 1t was to
provide these means that spent months
experimenting.
81 have been astonished to find, by
exact scientific methods that 40 per cent
of the abandoned stumps is valuable
pitch. This pitch, properly treated pro
duces turpentine inestimably superior
to that now obtained from the Southern
forests, the supply Of which is decreas-
year by year.
"The new turpentine has al the chem
ical and medicinal qualities of the COM
mon commercial turpentine, but is abso-
lutely free from its disagreeable smell
and taste. These two features have been
the greatest drawback to the more gen.
eral use of turpentine in manufactures
and the arts. The odor of the fir tur-
pentine is mild and balsamic, and its
taste is mild and pleasant. 1t might be
utilized in thousand ways, even in
chewing gum and for soda fountain
fiavors, so pleasant is it's taste.
"To give tersely the results, | will say
that each stnmp contains 40 per cent of
its bulk in pitch. II contains five or six
cords of wood. OF the pitch in the stump,
20 per cent can easily be resolved into
turpentine, 80 per cent into tar oil, and
so per cent into common tar. The tar
is an excellent product and can find
ready sale. The minor product is pyro-
ligneous acid, containing acetic acid.
"All the products of the fir stumps
can be removed by what is technically
known as destructive distillation.' One
of the most marvellous features is that
during the distillation process the fir
gives out gas of strong heating and
Illuminating powers, sufficient to main
tain the process and furnish the means of
extracting the products desired for COM
mercial purposes. The distillation pays
for itself and leaves the products of the
pitch practically clear profit.
"After all the products have been ex-
tracted-turpentine, tar oil, tar, acids,
gas-there is still left a charcoal, the
superior OF which is hard to find. The
wonderful value of these stumps may be
summed up in the single fact that
not shred is without commercial use.
Regarding the gas given off, it is a
strong illuminant, and with reduction
operations carried on on a large scale it
would be produced in volume sufficient
to conduct extensive gas-lighting opera
tions.
"For half a century these gold mines
of cutover land have lain idle. Even
the very refuse of the mills, which the
owners have burned and given away for
years, contained values sufficient to pay
large profit on the work of extracting
them.
"a new source OF turpentine at this
juncture is especially important. | have
made thorough tests OF the Western
product, and Am able to announce that
the South has q new competitor in the

Editor Glacier: | wish to air a few

my think tank am not bothered with
liver complaint nor am in love, being
beyond that stage, but some how or 9TH

solitude OF the Hood River forest and the
murmur of the little falls and rapids of

Being lover of natu | have never
in all my travels found but one place
that could beat Hood River for grand
scenery and the brightness of her moon

As stranger, it seems to me that the
people of this thriving little city do not
fully appreciate the beauty and grand
eur OF the scenery right at their door
Where in all the world can more love-
ly scene be found than the smooth wagon
road as it winds its way out Of the city,
gracefully curving around the sides of the
mountains, almost forming horse shoe,
as it climbs to the summit. All the
way up the climb.you hear echoing up
from theeeanyon below the complaint
of Hood river as it murmurs at the huge
boulders that lie in its bed, seemingly
trying to impede it's progress to the sea.
1t being in the evening, the mountain
breezes cool your brow as you ascend
to the top, At last as you turn curve
in the road you have reached the sum-
nit, and what wonderful and majestic
view breaks in upon your vision. Hood
