Important Find Is on Haystaek Plains
Near PrIaeyllle.
Crook county has an oil we'll. It is
not producing yet, but oil has been
struck at depth of 500 feet from
the surface, and all indications favor
a commercial flow.
This important find has been made
ON Haystack plains between Prineville
and Crosskeys, in the well recently
bonded by Archie Mason. Mr.. Mason
is arranging for casing for deeper bor-
ing and gave brief outline of the
strike
The drill is below the 800 point and
has entered oil sand. They have
penetrated 25 or so feet of hardpan,
but have not yet gone in to rock for
nation. Shale was plentiful, giving
the best oil indications, and when
they entered the oil sand they were
able to secure small quantities of
what appeared to be good oil.

Jim Hill, the foxy, was present at
the railway congress in Washington
and gave his spell" before the senate
committee ON interstate commerce.
Hill testified that railway rates in this
country were not forty per cent below
those charged abroad and that they
could not be materially reduced. No
part of his testimony reveals why
Minneapolis -four is carted by the
northern roads to Puget Sound and
oriental points at a much less rate than
they will carry Athena or Pendleton
-four, when the distance of the haul
from Minneapolis exceeds that of the
local points hundreds of miles. He
admitted, however, that there were
times when the rates could be lowered
but claimed that once railroad had
fixed rate between two points the
public never conceded its right to raise
1t. For that reason the railroads were
chary about lowering a rate, even
though existing conditions might war
rant it for fear that changed condi-
tions might later render it imprac-
ticable to continue the carrying of
freight at the same rate. One point
insMr. Hills testimony illustrated the
methods of fixing rates employed by
the railroads. He said that if his
road had profit to make of 800, 900
and had 100000 tons of freight to
carry it would be necessary to figure
on rate which would yield at least
81 ton profit. II on the other hand
the freight increased to 200, 900 a pro-
fit of 30 cents ton would be ample.
From this statement it may be seen
that the railway managers determine
before hand the amount of profit they
intend to make and charge according
ly, and of course, where the stock of
the road has been greatly watered and
1t is necessary to pay dividends on a
large amount of stock which does not
represent actual investment, the pub
lie must be charged inordinate rates
to produce the desired margin.

trouble in the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society is not temporarily a
fight between President Alexander
and Mr.. Hyde; it is whether one stock
holder shall control the society g
assets or whether these accumulated
millions are the property of the
policy holders.
This is the problem TO be solved
within the Equitable, but the contro-
versy means more than the settlement
of the rights of the policy holders of
that society or the disclosure of the
fantastic exploits of young Mr.. Hyde
at the expense of the premium payers.
It probably signifies a general over
hauling of the life insurance business
as now conducted by the great COM
panies. AS the Atlanta Constitution
recently expressed it, "The real insur-
ance situation does not involve one
company any more than it does the
other. 1t is the system that is at
fault"
Many argue that the real difficulty
is in the departure from the primal
purpose of insurance through the sub
stitution of the investment policy for
the insurance policy. The invest
ment has proved attractive, but the
returns have been comparatively
small to the policy holder, while vast
sums have accumulated in the COM
panies' hands and have been used
largely to the benefit of those who
have exercised controlling direction
in the companies affairs These
accumulations in the control of which
the policy holders have had nothing
to say have led to extravaganza, large
profits on the side by manipulation of
funds through subordinate trust COM
panies and finally in the scandals
that have shaken the Equitable so
severely.
1t is not a question of Mr.. Alexand-
er and Mr.. Hyde so much as it has
been question of handling the vast
sums contributed by the policy
holders; and if there is rottenness in
handling the enormous accumulations
of one large concern, who will say
that similar delinquencies may not
exist in the management of other
large concerns whose directorates are
made up of the same class of men as
those sitting on the Equitable board?
AS the Atlanta Constitution tersely
puts it, ''The fact that there are such
immense sums in the Golfers of the
companies demonstrates, first Of all
things, that the people are being
charged entirely too much for life
insurance. /"

Secretary Taft maintains that a
million dollars can be spent more pro-
fitably in building rifle galleries in
the principal cities of the country,
for the purpose of making the young
men of the country expert marksmen,
than in getting the regular army and
the militia together in field maneu-
vers. The military authorities would
like to have clubs Of marksmen organ
lied throughout the country to use the
proposed rifle galleries. This policy
is in line with the presidents belief
that in war the shot that hits is the
only one that counts.
