Wouldn't Hurt Standard.

The Kansas Legislature did not attempt
TO prohibit pipe line companies carry
ing their own oil because il knew that
such a provision would be ruinous TO
the industry
Such a provision would have simply
ruined the market The proposed legis-
lation, Senator Long insisted, would not
in1ure the Standard Oil Company at all
because The STANDARD would divorce the
ownership OF its refineries from the
ownership of its pipe lines and thus
leave itself free to handle its own oil
without violating the law: but the in
dependent pipe lines would be unable
TO buy oil for transportation through
its own pipes and thus would be prac-
tically forced out of business.

HURT SMALL MEN

Senator Long Explains Effect
of Pipe Lines as Com
mon Carriers.

In a speech in the Senate this after
noon on the pipe line question. Senator
Long OF Kansas made clear for the
first time the reasons which the inde-
pendent pipe line people and the inde-
pendent oil producers urge IN support OF
Lheir contention that pipe lines ought
not to be put under the control Of the
Interstate Commission as common car
riers
Until Senator Long presented the case
on behalf Of the oil producers OF Kan
sas. Oklahoma. and Indian Territory
there had been a very general dispOsi-
ton 10 assume that Senator Tillman
was correct when ne said yesterday
that he did not believe there were any
real independent producers or pipe lines.
The belief has been very strong that the
Standard oil is really responsible for
the opposition 70 making pipe lines
common carriers and 20 prohibit them
from handling their own oil.
Spoke With Authority.
Senator Long spoke as one having au-
thority. He made il apparent that he
understood the oil situation as il has
developed in the great mid-continent
field. where the independent has made a
most determined fight against Standard
OIL domination and where their efforts
have been crowned with large meas
ure Of success He said the Kansas
producer like the producer everywhere
else wants 10 sell his oil at the well.
AS the business is now universally or
ganiZed he sells II 10 the pipe lines II
would be OF no advantage 10 him 20 be
given access 10 the pipe lines under
conditions which would make IL a com
mon carrier because the mere privilege
or tranSpol ting the crude oil would
be worthless unless he had a refinery 10
which 10 transport II.
AS the oil business IS carried on and
must always be carried on. the pros

and develop the fields cannot also build

Kansas has made a war against Stand

OF that warfare passed a law making

so far as to prohibit pipe lines from

ALLENTOWN, Pa. Dec. ~27.-Perhaps the
most peculiar fishing places in the country
are found in Lehigh county. When the
failure Of Jay Cooke 4 Co. Of New York
started a panic which two years later
swept over this county it closed every
hematite ore mine in Lehigh and caused
the loss Of millions Of dollars. These
abandoned ore mines, covering acres of
land and ranging in depth from thirty to a
hundred feet, gradually began to Ill up
with water, and In that condition they have
remained for years.
II was a boy who first conceived the
Idea that these ore mines would be ideal
breeding places for fish. He had read a
book on fish culture and he noticed that a
particular pit had the kind Of aquatic vege-
tation which the book said was necessary.
SO he caught a lotDf sunfish, catfish, suckers.
cells and clubs and dumped them into the
pit and then forgot all about it.
These fish, undisturbed for several years,
multiplied with amazing rapidly. Sewers
years later a fisherman on his way home
from a trout stream happened to pass
this particular pit. Merely as a joke he
baited his hooks with worms and made a
cast. He had scarcely done so when his
reel commenced to sing, and to his great
amazement he pulled out two enormous
sunfsh: Inside of half an our he had
filled his creel.
He made a quiet investigation and readily
obtained permission from the owners of the
pits to experiment in fish culture. He COM
menced to plant black bass and yellow
perch in the pools.
He went about it secretly, and the owners,
who did not want to be annoyed by appli-
cants for fishing privileges, also kept quiet.
To-day these pits fairly TEEN with fish.
In the shallower pits the same enter

which are now bringing in a substantial

lance. At one pit a nearby tree affords a
lodging place for those who enjoy the
novelty OF fishing from a tree. One man
has erected a tall s~caffolding from which
vantage point he casts a heavily weighed
land line.
Black bass thrive better in these pits
than any other fish. They grow to enor-
nous size and the GOODNESS and purity OF
the water gives them and a gaminess sol

Several ear ago the owner Of a piece
Of property on which was an abandoned

big enough the latter promptly destroyed
the bass, but he now has one OF the finest

cold weather, when his pit will freeze over,
he expects to make money by leasing out
fishing privileges.
