One of the Greatest Oilers Among
Great Oilers

Every man who is acquainted with
the movements of an independent re-
finery knows that it is of the utmost
Importance for the refinery to own its
own oil production. The Uncle Sam
company altogether owns and controls
over $4,000 acres. On these PROPER
ties there are now ninety-two pro-
ducing oilers. However, the striking
of the big well on lot 43, Usage, by the
Uncle Sam company marks the begin
ming of a new career for this giant en-
terprise. Consider, il you please.
what even a 50-barrel oil we'll means.
Then think what 100 barrels daily
means. Then shut your eyes and take
a jump into what seems almost impos-
sible and consider what 6O0-barreI
well will do in the way of making a
company's bank account grow. Then
take your pencil and figure the profits
of a 1,500-barrel we'll and you will
know what a fortune maker the Uncle
Sam company has been fortunate
enough to discover on one of their
holdings. Lot 43, Usage. about five
miles southwest of Bartlesville con-
tains l, 100 acres. As before advertised.
1t is in line with the greatest oilers
ever secured in the west. and while
some knockers laughed at the predic-
tons of the management of the Uncle
Sam company when development COM
menced at this location. however the
real thing can now be seen and there
IS one of the greatest oilers ever
drilled into the oil sand in the western
oil fields now on this lot AZ. and there
is room for 22S more just like it. This
one property when developed would
make the entire capital stock of the
Uncle Sam company worth S1.0O per
share, let alone one great refinery and
thousands of acres of more oil lands
and nearly one hundred other oil wells
and miles of pipe lines and other
properties of the Uncle Sam company.
Oil men who have been at the we'll
since it started to flowing through a
1.660-foot hole claim that when COM
pleted this well will make from 1900
to 1900 barrels of oil on the start
These opinions are based on what
other wells have done under like cir
cumstances. The oil is high grade and
worth 81 a barrel to the Uncle Sam
company to make into refined oils.

ALASKAN LINES PROFITABLE
Government Takes in $4,000 in Tel
egraph Tolls in Two Months.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Brigadier
General Greedy. chief signal officer OF
the army, has just completed a thor
ough inspection of the Alaskan tele-
graph system. The tremendous. in
crease in commercial business handled
by the lines gives an indication of
the growing Importance of Alaskan
trade In the past two months tele-
graph tolls on commercial business
have amounted to more than $4,000,
while the cost of government business
on the lines during this time exceeded
$4,000. Many thousand code words
were transmitted during the fifteen
months the wireless system in Alaska
has been in operation without a single
error. The competition between gov
ernmental, commercial and press
business on the Alaskan Lines has de-
veloped to the point where new sys-
tenn to expedite business has been de-
handed.

MASSACHUSETTS PRIMARIES.
They Are Being Held by Both Political
Parties Today.

Boston, Sept. 26.-Two political
contests which have been pursued
very actively, engaged the attention Of
voters today at the Republican pri-
maries heid--throughout the state.
They were those for the nominations
of lieutenant governor and attorney
general 1t was expected that the
former issue would be decided, IL de-
cided at all. today, with reference to
the principles proclaimed by the can
dfdate, while the latter would be set
tied entirely on the question of the
personal following of the aspirants.
For lieutenant governor, the candi-
dates were Eben S. Draper, of Hope
dale, who recently declared unre-
servedly for continued protection in
the tariff, Frederick S. Hall of Taun-
ton and Col A. H. Goetting of Cam

maries would afford no certain evil

contest would be nominated. 1t was
anticipated the gubernatoria1 nominal

also were held in various cities and
towns but there were no contests. The

PECos A FRUITFUL LAND.
Fine Exhibit of Agricultural Products
from New Mexico.

Some remarkable specimens of ag-
ricultural products from the irrigated
farms in the Pecos valley were on ex-
hibition for a few hours yesterday at
the Santa Fe depot. These specimens
were in a specially arranged Santa Fe
car in charge of A. Foltz, and it is to
be taken around through points in
the west for the purpose of advertising
the farming advantages. There is
such variety of produce raised in
the irrigated plains of this valley that
the exhibition in the car is quite a
pretentious agricultural and horticul-
tural show. There are exhibits from
farms in the neighborhood of Roswell.
Lakewood, Hegeman, Artesia, Dayton,
Lake Arthur and Dexter.
The valley must be especially rich
for the raising of fruit, for the display
of apples and pears, for variety and
size, ie really remarkable. There are
number of pears in the car that
weigh pound and a half each, and
there are some apples called Pecos
Valley Pippins, that weight exactly 81
ounces each. Then there are two
watermelons, one weighing 81 pounds
and another weighing "A pounds

and a hundred-pound squash, and for

large sweet potatoes there is one
weighing seven pounds that is entitled
to some sort of prize. A sample of
oats that ran 100 bushels to the acre
is shown.
Nearly everything that soil pro-
duces seems to be grown down there,
for the car is just filled with farm
products of all kinds. There are fine
specimens of cotton. tobacco. all kinds
of fruits and vegetables, and Mr.. Foltz
has strung along the roof of the car
a cornstalk Is feet in length, it being
2 feet from the root to the first ear.
Mr.. Foltz received yesterday a bunch
of alfalfa, the fifth cutting on one
piece of land this year.
Another feature of the exhibit is
the collection of minerals that abound
in some parts of the valley. There
are specimens of copper, zinc and iron
ore, as well as some gold quartz. Also
on exhibition are numerous samples of
oil that have been taken from various
borings in the valley.
An itinerary for this car has been
mapped out which will take two
months to complete. The car left
last night for st. Joseph, Mo, where
it will exhibit for two days.
