The onslaught of Kansans upon the
Standard Oil Company has called at
tentiOn to the fact that near this city
John D. Rockefeller has what is I'M
doubleday the richest farm in the
world, and not a dollars worth OF
produce is raised upon it. The farm
consists of 400 acres of fine land. It's
value is nearly $1,000, 900, and its an
nual crop amounts to about S8,OOO,-
900.
Mr.. Rockefeller doesn't try any eX-
periments with corn or wheat, nor
does he try to increase his wealth by
engaging in the raising of cattle,
sheep and hogs. The Rockefeller farm
is purely a tank farm, and is SO call
ed in this neighborhood. At approx
imately the same distance apart on
the 400 acres are so big oil tanks,
each having a storage capacity of
from IS, 900 to $4,000 barrels of oil.
A space of eight acres is set apart for
of earth 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 its con-
fines.
Each of the tanks is made of sheet
steel, and cost about $4,000. They are
about so feet in diameter and 30 feet
high. They rest fat on the ground.
The steel floor is covered with heavy
black oil paper, and conical roof
surmounts the whole. A stairway
leads to the roof from the ground. In
the middle of it is door locked with
a Rockefeller paddock, which cannot
be duplicated, and to which only
trusted employees carry keys.
IN these tanks is stored the surplus
oil of the Kansas field. The prOduc-
ton has been increased greatly. A
wear ago it was about IL, 900 barrels a
dav: now it is more than twice that
figure. The Standard refinery here
can take care of only $500 barrels a
day, but at Sugar Creek, near Kansas
City, the company is putting up an inn
mense one. Even this, however, would
have been inadequate.
If the state is going to put the COM
panv 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 farms
at Humboldt and Caney.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1905-05-10

These tank farms are connected
with the oil fields everywhere. Big
mains run into each of the six large
producing counties, and from these
laterals extend to wherever there is
any oil The moment an operator
can show production of so barrels a
day the Standard will build him a
pipe line. Until the recent fuss this
was the rule, and gangs of pipe layers
were kept busy all the time, many
wells being capped awaiting the arriv-
al of the pipes.
More than So, 900, 900 is invested by
the Standard in pipe lines in this
state. Solid trainlOads of pipes and
sheet steel were daily sights in the
field last summer. Each main is sup
piled with a pumping station which
forces the oil through the pipes.
Where the oil does not run by gravity
the Standard has been paying a cent
barrel for the steam used in pump
ing, which in itself has been good
source of income to the operators.
Forty men are employed to ride the
pipe lines and guage ahe oil. Their
business is to look for thefts and
leaks. Oil stealings nave not been
infrequent in the past. A line will be
tapped at some secluded point and a
wagonload of oil taken, to be sold
later to the refinery people.
These guagers visit the oil wells,
measure the oil and run it into the
line. They give the operator ticket
and he sends the accumulated ones to
the headquarters the first of the month
and gets his check. An affidavit must
accompany each claim, in which is set
out the name of the owner of the roy
atty. Few of the wells are operated
by the owners of the land, most of
them taking life easy on their MONTH y
royalties. These they receive direct
from the Standard Office. In this
way they feel sure the operators are
not defrauding them.

INNOCENT MAN SERVED YEARS
Was in Georgia Penitentiary for
Crime He Did Not Commit.

Was in Georgia Penitentiary Tor a
Crime He Did Not Commit.
The prison commission has recon-
mended pardon for jim Richardson,
a Fulton county negro, who has serV-
ed fourteen wears of life sentence
for a murder now known to have been
committed by another man.
Back in 1890 white man named
Smith was shot and killed at Bolton,
out near the Chattahoochee river, and
Richardson was convicted of the crime
on circumstantial evidence, Recently
a white man named Moore, who lived
at Bolton, died, but before his death
made a statement to several parties
declaring that he had killed Smith,
but stated that it was without lnten-
ton on his part. He heard some one
on his front porch at night, and think
ing burglars were trying to get into
his house he fired out the front door.
The shot killed Smith, but Moore pre-
served silence and let Richardson go
tn the penitentiary for life.
Affidavits as to Moore's dying state
ment and other evidence in the case
were placed before the commission,
and the case made out in Richard
sons favor was quite clear one
It is expected, therefore, that par

STARTLING NAVAL FIGURES.
Big Stick Fellows Would Spend Six
Hundred Millions.

In an address before the GeOgraph-
ical society of Phil adelphia on Thurs
day night Admiral Melville said that
we ought to spend at least 5000, 900, 900
on our navy right away, that our
present navy which cost more than
5000, 900, 900 wasn't more than big
enough to defend our coast. If we
make the Panama canal a sea level
canal, he said, we shall want a navy
for its defense alone that will cost at
least S4OO, 900, 600, and we shall need a
fleet at either end of it. And the Phil
ippines will require a big feet for
their defense. He expressed the Opin-
ion that it would be the wiser plan to
get rid of the islands at once, before
we have a squabble over them with
some one of the strong naval powers.
With a treasury showing steadily
increasing deficit the programme for
navy building presented by Admiral
Melville is calculated to cause our
statesmen some uneasiness. A navy
costing $500, 100000 would require a
very pretty sum annually for main
tenance, besides unestimated millions
to keep it up to high standard of eff
cheney. AS a battieship's life isn't
longer than twenty years, perhaps not
so long, if we adopt the policy of a
mighty navy, such as Hobson and
Melville, and even the president, think
we ought to have, we might as well
make up our minds at once that a
great deal more revenue must be
raised than we are collecting at pres
ent.-Savannah News.

WILL PLANT LESS COTTON
OF COMMERCE. SAYS
SUCH Is INTENTION OF SOUTH.
Twelve Hundred Replies Show That
More of Other Crops Will BE
Planted. less Fertilizer Used.

Planted. less Fertilizer Used.
The New York Journal of Com
merce has just printed it's first regular
cotton report for the season of 1905.
Over 1850 replies were received, their
average date being April Is, and the
chief points of inquiry: First, the ac-
reage for 1905, and second the con-
sumption of fertilizers.
The south evidently intends to plant
less cotton and more of other crops
than last year; how much less Of cot
ton it is yet !altogether too early to
determine. At the close of April the
season was. fully two weeks late, and
planting was correspondingly back
ward.
Estimates of a reduction of between
10 and Is per cent. have already been
made by prominent members of the
trade, and indications are that when
planting is completed the lower esti-
mates will be the nearer correct. In
fact, some good authorities anticipate
a decrease of only 8 per cent, in spite
of the campaign of cotton planters as
sociations for reduction of Is per
cent. The paper says:
"Our own correspondents report de-
.creases varying from 5 to Is per cent.
and quite a number reporting the
same acreage as last year and few
an increase. However, for reasons
above stated, the lateness ard incom-
pleteness of reports, the Journal of
Commerce refrains from making any
acreage estimate at this time, and
simply publishes the replies of cores
pondents as an indication of the drift
of well informed opinion"
Inquiries concerning the use of fer
tilizers bring out very contradictory
answers. The papers own CORES
pondents generally report decreases
in their use, similar to their reports
of decreases in acreage. From official
sources only partial information is OBJ
tainable as to the sales of fertilizers,
and this indicates that sales are in
some cases less than last year and
only in few instances more than
year ago. These different statements
are, of course, explained by the fact
that while less fertilizers have been
sold for cotton more have been used
for truck farming, corn, etc.

SODA JERKER AND HoRsEsHOER
Wherein the Later Has the Advan-

tage Over the Former.
A New York newspaper notes:
'Many horseshOers throughout the
country complain that they cannot Sc
cure a sufficient number of young men
to learn the trade" Why? Is it be-
cause the young fellows are afraid of
little dirt and grease? Do their
public school educations unfit them
for the horseshoeing trade? They
are usually ready enough to take a
lob behind a ribbon counter or at the
soda water stand. Is it more dignifed
or honorable to "jerk soda" than to
fasten a set of shoes on a horse ?
Meanwhile, the competent horseshoer
makes as much wages in a day as the
sodawater gentleman does in a week.
Now, does close association with the
horses shut the door of social oppor-
tunity in the face of the energetic and
upright young man? Andrew Carne-
gie's niece has married a coachman,
and her uncle says he would rather
have the worthy coachman in the FAM
ily than a worthless duke.

NEGRO WANTED FOR
 POISONING WELL
JAMES COOPER, A NEGRO, IS Ac- CuSED BY HIS FORMER WIFE OF
 PUTTING ARSENIC IN WATER. ARRESTED IN IND. TERRITORY.

Acting Sheriff Albert Stradford received information yesterday of the arrest in Indian Territory of James Cooper, a negro, wanted in this city for poisoning the water in q well at the corner of Ave- nue F and Thirteen street. Cooper was accused by his former wife of pouring poison in the well from which she was in the habit of getting water She claims to have seen him when he committed the and white people who used the well of the danger.
 Some of the water was given to a dog which died shortly after taking it.. An examination made by local chemist at the time showed that the water con- tained arsenic. Deputy Sheriff Clyde En- his was sent yesterday to the neighbor- hood where the well water was poisoned and secured the namef of several witt nesses The attempt at poisoning, accord ing to the statements of the witnesses wes made about two years ago and since that time the negro has been at large
 A warrant was sworn out yesterday for the arrest of Cooper and the governor was requested to grant requisition papers for him. As soon as the papers are se- cured Deputy Sid cowan will probably be sent to Ardmore, l. T.. where the man is being held. The penalty for such an offense as Cooper is alleged to have committed may be punished by an im- prisonment in the penitentIary for ten to twenty years.
