The agreeable relations existing
between the Standard Oil COM
pany and the Pure Oil company
NAV not indicate "a DEAL but 1t
becomes more apparent that the
alleged rivals are working quite
in harmony.
The oil producers who had
hoped for broader markets and
better prices as a result of compe-
tition, have seen their hopes 60
glimmering, while the refiners
have waxed rich and secured the
benefits. The Pure Oil company
is said to have recently started up
it's new refinery at Marcus Hook,
POOR Philadelphia. Just what
* Cts will come from another
refiner: connected with the indie
pendent pipe lines is not clear.
The old refining companies SEEM
ed to have a capacity sufficient to
care for all the crude supply OBJ
tainable by the independent lines
and the condition Of the fields
does not indicate future supply
of an increased amount; in fact,
it would seem a most difficult un-
dertaking and one which will re-
ouire heavy expenditure OF cap
ital to maintain the present sup
ply.
The Pure Oil company having
started it's new refinery in the
East, must obtain its supply OF
crude from the pipe line system
extending to the lower fields OF
Southern Ohio and West Virginia
and these fields at the present
time are being rapidly drained.
In the oil which goes through the
United States Pipe Line company
to the Pure Oil company refinery
at Marcus Hook the revenue OF
the pipe line company will be m
creased, but as the Standard Oil
company own about one-third OF
the United States Pipe Line com
pany, it comes in for its share OF
the increased pipeage earnings,
and as this pipe line is the only
branch of the Pure o. company
that has paid adj .;end the APP
parent agreeable relations may be
accounted for. The more oil the
new refinery takes from the old
refneries and puts through the
pipe lines to the east the greater
the earnings of the United States
Pipe Line company and the
greater its dividends to the Stand
ard Oil company and other stock
holders. At the same time the
new refinery is taking the oil and

PERTINENT ARTICLE ON
THE OIL BUSINESS

the old refneries must eventually
take less supply. The profits
formerly going to this class OF in
dependents may toisome extent be
diverted to the Pure Oil company,
but at the same time the position
of the independents as competitors
will be weakened. 1t is apparent
that the rivalry for the acquisition
of producing properties accessible
to the various pipe lines has in
creased and there are no purchases
of such properties. There is no
struggle for production and the
problem of the future seems to
have been dropped. So much for
competition. The price at which
Pure Oil company stock is quoted,
which is about par, does not de-
note great faith for the future. 1t
is among the possibilities that
some of the management may
have proited handsomely through
arrangements or deals, and that
some nice fat salaried positions
have been created for a few ia
vored sons. but the promised prof
it's of the rank and fl. have never
materialized.
Tom Lawson is undertaking an
expose of the system by which
Standard oil has become what 1t
is. The oil producers have long
been familiar with this system,
and they have been patient and
submissive beyond belief, but the
oil produce IS have been made
the victims of a class within
themselves whose subtle self-ln-
terest have predominated over all
others. The PRESENT price for crude
oil as fixed by both the Standard
and independents is a hard one,
and one from which no profit can
be derived in fields producing
Pennsylvania oil. There is 10 hope
that competition so called will
benefit conditions or prices as it
has become apparent that it IS
never intended to pay a price for
the product in proportion to its
value. Pennsylvania oil should
be in a class by itself. 1t is the
most valuable oil produced and
commands prices in the markets
much in excess of it's value as fix
ed by the purchasing agencies.
Lima oil, Kansas oil and all
other oils are inferior and can
never find the same place IN the
markets of the world with Penn
sylvania oil. Pipe line runs de-
note continued falling off in pro-
duction and under present prices
much drilling must cease.

Editor Oil Review:
Dear Sir:-The Tyler County
Star of the Goth inst says in ef-
feet that my candidacy for the
office of Sheriff Of Tyler county
is in the interest of w. E. Kirch-
ner, the Democratic candidate,
and that | have been heard to say
that said w. +. Kirchner would
be the next Sheriff. In reply |
wish to say that l have never said
to any person without qualifica-
ton that Mr.. Shriver or Mr.,
Kirchner would be elected, but L
have said that if certain lntiu-
ences were brought to bear one or
the other would win. This and all
the other accusations against the
Prohibitionists in general and my
self in particular are absolutely
false, and are published for the
purpose of checking, if possible,
the growing Prohibition sentiment
of the county. l am in the race
to the finish, and responsible men
of both Democrat and Republican
parties, say that in the mixed up

purchased In Benares and they wear forever. Some are coarse and some are fine, but they are all peculiar to this place and cannot be purchased else where because the product is limited and merchants cannot buy them in suf- ficient quantity to make profitable trade. The heavier qualities of solk are used chiefly for mems clothing.
 They wash like linen they never wear out and are cool and comfortable. The brocades of Benares are equally fa- nous, and are used chiefly for the cere- monial dresses of the rich and fashion able Sometimes they are woven of threads of pure gold and weigh as much as an arrnor. These are of course very expensive, and are, usually sold by weight Very little account is taken uf the labor expended upon them, al- though the designs and the workman ship are exquisite, because the weayers and embroiderers are paid only d few cents day. Besides these heavy fa- brics are costly tissues as fire as spid- CTS webs, also woven of silver and gold, and silk and linen. They are used by the women as head dresses and scarfs and rich men use them for tur- bans.

bay and Benares fell off, the former from plague and famine and the latter from all kinds of contagious and other diseases.
 It is city of great wealth and has many handsome and costly palaces and mansions which have been erected by pious Hindu princes, rajahs, merchants, bankers and others who spend part of each year within it's sacred precincts, renewing their relations with the gods just as other people go to springs and seashore to restore their physical vital itv. The residential architecture is pie turesque, but not artistic The houses are frequently of fantastic designs and are painted in gay colors and covered with carvings that are often grotesque. They have bakeries around them, and broad overhanging caves to keep out the rays of the sum- and many of them are set in the midst of attractive groves and gardens. Some of the modern buildings are very fine. There is plenty of room for the display of landscape gardening as well as architecture, but the former has been neglected. The one thing that strikes a stranger and almost bewilders him is the vivid colors. They seem unnatural and inappropriate for a sacred city but are not more incon- gruous than other features.

Seventh City of India A Breeding
 Place of Deadly Plagues.
 MT. William E. Curtis, writing from Benares, India, to the Chicago Record Herald, says that 10 years ago Benares was the fifth city in size in India, but between the census of 1891 and 1901 the population was reduced 10000 inhabi- tants by cholera, famine and plague and it dropped down two pegs in the list. It is miracle that the entire pop ulation does not perish, because, not Withstanding the cautions and efforts of the Government every sanitary law is violated by thousands of people daily. The temples and other places frequented by pilgrims are filthy hot beds of disease, and the water they drink from the holy wells is absolutely putrid, so that the odor can be detected considerable distance. And yet half million devotees from every part of India come here annually, and not on- ly drink the poisonous stuff, but bathe in the polluted river and carry back to their homes bottles of 1t carefully cork ed and labeled, which the doctors tell us is an absolutely certain method of distributing disease.

city are wide, well paved and well shaded. The business portion of the town, where the natives chiefly live, is a wilderness of narrow streets hemmed in with shops, factories dwellings, tenn ples shrines, restaurants, cafes and boardinghouses for pilgrims. Every shop is open to the street. and the shelves are bright with brass, silver and copper vessels and gayly painted images of the gods, which are pur- chased by the pilgrims and other visi- tors. Benares is famous all over the world for it's brass work and it's silks. Half the shop in town are devoted to the sale of brass vessels of various kinds, chiefly bowls of many forms and styles which are required by the pill grims in performing their religious du- ties. In addition to these there are a hundred different varieties of domes- tic and sacred utensils, many of them beautifully chased and engraved, and they are sold to natives at prices that seem absurd, but foreigners are expect ed to pay much more Indeed, every purchase is a matter of prolonged ne- gotiation. The merchant fixes his price very high and then lowers it grad ually as h ethinks discret, according to the behavior of his customer.
