TENNESSEE NEWS,

A most remarkable fish story comes
from Decatur, the truthfulness ofwhich
is vouched for by man of unquestioned
integrity, There are fish yarns and fish
yarns, but this one is most unique and
is worthy OF notice. Joe Order CT De-
catur County, states that while tishirg
in small stream near the Tennessee
River few days ago be had about con-
Guided to quit fishing and go home as
his luck had been poor, but as he was
about to haul in his line his attention
was attracted by heavy pull at his
hook. He began pulling in, but his
efforts at landing the catch seemed to
be fruitless, Surprising that his hook
had caught in a snag he set about to in
vestigate, and approaching nearer the
water he succeeded in reaching the OBJ
ject at the end of his hook, which proved
to be jug. His line extended to the
interior of the jug, and on breaking
his strange catch he was astonished to-
find Il four-pound fish on the inside at
tached to his hook. The presence of
the jug accounted for his difficulty in
landing the catch" The fact that the
fish had found lodgmept in the jug
when small, and had remained inside
until too large to make his exit is the
only reasonable solution to the strange
occurrence.

GOING TO MISSOURI.
Kansas Oil Producers Appeal to Sister
State Legislature.

Chanute, Kan, March Just as
soon as we get through in Topeka,
which will be some time this week, -
said ]. H. Crawford of the advisory
committee of the Kansas Oil Pro-
duoers' association, 1--WE are going
over into Missouri, Connelley and my
self, and see if we cannot get its legis-
lature to see things as the Kansas leg
islature saw them.
I'VE are going to ask the Missouri
legislature to pass the maximum
freight rate bill, the bill making pipe
lines common carriers and the bill pre-
venting discrimination. These bills
will give us a guarantee OF a market
for fuel oil all over Missouri. Then we
can get a better price for our product
because of the wider market. We can
sell three barrels of oil cheaper than
ton of coal, and yet three barrels of
oil will produce more steam than a
much steam as a ton Of the best Pitts
burg coal. We will thus be enabled
to liberate the small manufacturer
from the grip of the coal trust and
while we will get more for the oil than
the Standard is willing to pay now
''Time was when we had a market
for our crude oil in the states of Mis-
souri, Iowa, Nebraska. and even in Illi-
nois, but when the Standard pipe lines
were built the rates were raised so
high that we were driven out of the
business of supplying fuel oil. Now,
If the adjacent states will enact the
maximum freight rate bill and the
anti-discrimination bill; we can save
the people of those states hundreds of
thousands of dollars and make some
thing for ourselves at the same time.
As the matter now stands we can sup
ply the people of this state, but the
same combination exists outside of
Kansas which has existed here. and
the minute we try to. cross the state
line with our oil we will find the
Standard, the railroads and the coal
trust all lined up against u.s.

which is now controlled by the New
Haven. under the new plan, is to
leased to the New York Central and
this does away with their plan to
build a new line from Springfield,
Mass, to a point on the Harlem road.
The New Haven is to remain in con-
troll of the coal shipments to New
England.
The new combination will control a
large share in the Northern Pacific in
terests and also have a potent voice in
Reading, Jersey Central and Leh1gh
Valley. Its only rivals of importance
would be the Pennsylvania, the Santa
Fe and the Hill and Gould roads, One
report in the street has it that instead
of attempting a formal merger, the
various roads will merely accomplish
the combination by an interchange of
securities. Some Of those interested
believe that this would reach the same
end without CHANGING the interference
of the law. The combination Is de-
clared to have become imperative by
the complicated condition which has
arisen through the various groups of
financiers having bought into each
others properties on account of their
fear of one another. In this way the
various interests have become SO en-
tangled that it is impossible to
straighten them out except by a union
of all. The first move in this direc-
ton it is believed, was taken when
the Vanderbilt lines were drawn to-
gether in one huge combination a few
days ago under the presidency of w.
II. Newman.
