BILLED PIPE LINE
FOR CONVEYING OIL
Contract Made by Southern Pac-
ific Company For the Con-
struction of
Rifled Pipe, 256 Miles Long, From
Oil Properties to Tide
Water.

A new and interesting feature Of
the line is the character OF the pipe
used, it's "rifled" construction being
somewhat radical departure from
that of lines now In use for conveying
oil. Spiral indentations accomplished
in the rolling of the pipe constitute
the rifling.
An exhaustive series Of experiments
has demonstrated that after a small
per cent Of water has been added to
the oil, and the necessary pressure
applied, that the whole will develop a
whirling motion, and that the water
being the heavier will seek the out
side Of the pipe, thereby enveloping
the oil In a thin film or shell of
water; this shell or film Of water act
ing as lubricant between the oil and
the pipe, and thereby greatly reduce
ing the friction and allowing the cor,
OF oil to glide through the .ptpe read
lily.
Throughout the length of 25e miles
Of pipe there will be % pumping sta
tions, the equipment Of each station
being In duplicate so that in the
event Of breakage Of any part of
the machinery, of one pump, the other
may Immediately be put into service.
With the size Of the pipe, which is
eight inches and the high pressure
carried and improved facilities in
every way, a rapid transmission Of the
oil has been shown to be possible, and
It is estimated that at least $4,000
barrels Of fuel oil can be delivered
every "a hours .: .s.Is. S E., s''T:*.s

JElEGR lpH COMPANIES MAINTAIN
ATTITUDE OF GRIM DEFlANCF
STRIKE CONDITIONS
FAVORABLE TO SUCCESS,

So far, the efforts of the strik-
ing telegraphers has been crowned
with success though the strike II
st1ll unsettled.
The members were not ordered
out by leaders or aeitators. but
struck spontaneously and deter
nainedly of their own free will,
and every Indication II that they
will stand hrm until they gain
their point and justice is meted
out to them.
Labor organizations all over the
country are supporting them, and
a plan IL ON foot to raise two
million dollar fund, for a CAM
paign of government ownership;
One-half for strike fund, has al
ready been started.
The telegraph companies will
be made to understand. that a
position Of absolute defiance to ali
considerations Of justice and hu-
manity, must give way before an
aroused American sentiment.

to make householder police his front
door and back yard.
Large or small, rich or poor, every
corporation has the right to the eff
ctent protection of the laws. So far
as the tramp Is concerned, train hands
go In peril of life. Trains risk derail-
Ing. Property is lost wholesale by
tramp depredations.
Every state should meet this by a
state police. Men at their honest
work ought not to have to put up a
fight for life as train hands daily do.
If state police patrolled tracks and
covered the country adjacent, the
tramp would disappear and the coun-
.tryside would cease to hold the hid
eous terror it has for every lonely
woman. The mere increase of prop
erty value due to safety would pay for
such q police.

Peremptorily Refuse to Listen to,

Proposltion Whatever For the
Betterment of Conditions For

Obstinately Refuse to Accede

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Labor World and other leading news
papers of the country are severely
criticising the telegraph companies for
their unrelenting stubborness in re-
fusing to accede to the reasonable de-
mands Of their employees, the strike is
still on, with no immediate prospects
of settlement.

standing by our colors, and can see
nothing but victory. We are in good
shape financially, and can stand the
fight almost Indefinitely. 1t Is impos-
sible to secure anything like telegraph
service in the south. The companies
certainly are tied up.

A FASHION FROM WAR.
How Flat Watches Took Place Of the
Old-Time "Turnips."

When the neat man takes unto him.
self watch as thin as parchment he
little thinks that that thin watch re-
suits from army regulations. Up to
the time of the Allies taking Paris
the ordinary watch was convex in
shape and called from its outline
"turnip.' The officers of the Russian
and other armies objected to this be-
cause its dubious form made the uni
form of man on parade look untidy,
whether it were carried in the coat or
the fob. Here in Paris, however, they
found that the watchmakers of the
Palais Royal had contrived chro-
nometer which got over the diff
Guilty. Flat watches were the fashion
in Paris. The English when they ap-
peared IN the streets of the French
capital marched in not in gala dress
such as the others wore, but in the
raiment which they had worn on CAM
paign. Great was the impression
which their habiliments created. But
they at once adopted the smart fiat
watch and brought it back to England
for our own manufacturers to copy

MUSIC IN THE TYRoL.
Peculiar Charm Of Concerts AZ Given
by the Peasants.

There is a slow rising scale from
the simplest summer music to the
splendor Of the Ring Bayreuth, or still
higher, to an occasional Mozart fest
at Salzburg, writes musician on his
European holiday jaunt. Somewhere
near the humblest beginnings, and
yet with real interest all their own,
are the small village concerts In the
Bavarian Tyrol. Taking supper at
the rough tables in the open air, In
the midst of peasant gayety and the
pretty colors Of the costumes, we look,
admiring, at the group of performers,
sitting at a raised table, adorned In
the full glory Of the national dress
feathers in the cap, brilliant waistcoat,
trousers that leave gap below the
knee. One Of the men plays the either

and have suddenly changed into .
band. However simple the music.
there is always the old charm Of the
Tyroless intervals and folksong.

Monster Philippine Snakes.
