ATTEMPT TO WRECK B. & O. TRAIN
Discovered in Time by Trackmen-
Previous Efforts at Same Point.

WHEELING. ". Va, January Sat Un-
der. ood a small station in scantily set
tied section. thirty miles east of here, an
attempt was made today to wreck the fast
New York and Chicago express on the Bal
timore and Ohio road.
A heavy iron bar was driven in the
switch with such force that it required
twenty minutes work to remove it. Had
the train crashed through at the regular
rate 1t would have rolled over the noun
tain side.
There were more than two hundred peo-
pie on the train. The condition of the
switch was discovered by trackman, who
stopped the train and prevented the acct
dent. n number of attempts have been
made 10 wreck trains at this same point
during the past year, and for that reason
an extra number of trackmen are on watch
there at night.

COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL
REVENUE HANDS DOWN AN
IMPORTANT DECISION
PeddIers Who Sell Liquor at the Res
licences Should Be Reported to
Deputy Collectors

According to a ruling received by
the Seattle revenue Office from the In
ternaI revenue commission in Wash
ington, d. c., the Internal revenue
laws do not contemplate the peddling
of alcoholic liquors, nor permit the is
suance of any special tax stamps to
cover such peddling, is the substance
of a decision handed down by the COM
missioner of internal revenue for the
guidance of officials in the service in
dealing with the wine and whiskey
vendor who goes from house to house
soliciting the patronage of unsuspect-
ing housewives without first putting
himself right with the government.
Should an official of the internal rev.
enue service catch peddler disposing
of alcoholic liquors at the door of
private residence, for instance, under
the law he can compel the issuance of
a license to cover the place of sale;
in other words, the private residence
at which the order is filled must be
licensed to sell liquors.
amy person found travelling from
place to place selling and delivering al
coholic liquors should be reported for
prosecution for selling liquors at some
particular point on mis- route at which
there is evidence of his having sold
without payment of the special tax at
that place and not as peddler," says
the commissioner.
The business of peddling wines and
liquors has come to be large and lu-
crative in all cities, and from now on
a sharp lookout will be kept for the
men who engage in the traffic.
Two decisions of importance-issued
last week-have been handed down by
the commissioner. The first concerns
retail liquor dealers, and has refer
ence to compromising spirits. The
commissioner decides that the occa
sional mixing of a bowl of eggnog by
a retail liquor dealer does not involve
him in special tax liability as a rec
tifier in rare and occasional instances,
such as the Fourth of July, st. Pat

FARM is RICHEST
Four Hundred Acres Of Land Contain

minute.


NEODESHA, Kansas, April 3.-The
onslaught of Kansans upon the Stand
ard Oil company has called attention
to the fact that near this city John D.
Rockefeller has what is undoubtedly
the richest farm in the world, and not
a dollars worth of produce is raised
upon it. The farm consists Of 500
acres of fine land. It's value is nearly
s2,OO0,OOO and it's annual crop amounts
to about $S,0OO,000.
The Rockefeller farm is purely a
tank farm, and is so called in this
neighborhood. At approximately the
same distance apart on the 400 acres
are fifty big oil tanks. each having a
storage capacity of from $4,000 to co.
900 barrels of oil.
A space of eight acres is set apart
for each tank, and around each is a
dyke of earth about five feet in height,
thrown up to catch the Oil should a
leak be sprung Or to fight away the
flames should they come in the wake
of a stream of oil that had burst it's
confines.

men to put the ordinance through, but
that they "fiunked" at the last
minute.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-04-03
Production Greatly Increased

In these tanks is stored the surplus
oil of the Kansas field. The production
has been Increased greatly. A year
ago it was $4,000 barrels a day: now it
is twice that figure.
If the state is going to put the COM
pany out of business in Kansas, the
Standard will lose several millions in
investments such as the tank farm,
which cannot be moved without great
impairment. There are smaller tank
farms at Humboldt and Caney.
These tank farms are connected
with the Oil fields everywhere Big
mains run into each of the six large
producing counties, and from these la
terals extend to wherever there is oil.
The moment an operator can show a
production of fifty barrels day, the
Standard will build him a pipe line.
More than $6,OOO,OOO is invested by
the Standard in pipe lines in this state.
Each main line is supplied with a
pumping station which forces the oil
through the pipes. Where the oil does
not run by gravity the Standard mas
been paying a cent a barrel for the
steam used in pumping, which in itself
mas been a good source of income for
the operators.
