Bobby's Last Move.

Bobby is the son Of a Methodist
minister and has had the experience
of moving" four times in the space
OF his eight years life. He disap-

Some time ago an elderly minister
was visiting Bobby's father, and di-

theological nature. Finally the course
of the conversation turned TO heaven,

cord on his glasses developed a plan

them around the top of his head 50
that they made a band just over his

Relief

Special to The Express.
Washington, d. G., Dec. 9.-The oil
producers OF Oklahoma are praying the
secretary Of the interior to give them
relief in the way of a market. This
means that they want more pipe lines
built, and to that end seek to have Ger.
tain changes made in the present reg.
ulations which will encourage rather
than repress pipe line building. The
producers who have been here repre-.
sent no pipe line company. but come
as producers of oil who cannot sell
their product under existing condi-
tions.

from many of the smaller towns, have
been here within the past week, all
praying for a market for their OIL
They have had conferences with Secre-
tary Garfield and he has the matter
under adyisement.
The oil wells OF Oklahoma are now
producing 100000 barrels Of oil per
day. AT present they would produce
that amount If the oil could be han
died. The total capacity of all the pipe
lines carrying oil is 100000 barrels per
day. What the producers want is
some means of getting the remaining
10000 barrels daily production to mar
ket.
The oil men claim they represent
no pipe line company They want to
bring about a condition that will cause
more pipe lines to be built by whoever
has the money to build them.
The obiectional clause in the pres
ent oil pipe line regulations is section
II, which puts the pipe lines under
control ofthe secretary of the interior
as soon as they are built. It empow-
ers the secretary 10 step in at any
time he thinks pipe line is not being

cannot be secured to build additional
pipe lines under such conditions. In
other words the Oklahoma oil fields
have outgrown the present regulations.

Tree Death 1rap for BIRDS.

Queensland, Australia. has n curious
tree which ensnares and kills insect
life and sometimes birds also. A
traveller says OF It: "The seed vessels
Of the Queensland upas tree, 'Ahmoo'
OF the blacks (Pisouia Brunoniana)
which are produced on spreading leaf
less panicles. exude a remarkably Wis
cid substance approaching birdlime in
consistency and evil effect. Sad is the
fate Of any bird which. laundering in
its fight happens to strike against any
Of the many traps which the tree in
unconscious malignity hangs out on
every side. In such event the seed
clings to the feathers, the wings be-
come fixed to the sides, the hapless
bird falls to the ground and as IL
struggles heedlessly gathers more Of
the seeds, TO which leaves and twigs
adhere, until by aggregation It is in
closed In mass of vegetable debris as
firmly as a mummy in its clothes"

commission yesterday denied motion
for rehearing on the order recently

to the new tariff on the telegraph bust
ness in this state. The motion was

company which has been against any

on day messages at 35 cents for ten
words within the state, with 2 cents
for each additional word. The old
rate was 40 cents for messages Of
ten words, with cents for each ad-
ditional word. The night rate is fixed
at 25 cents regardless Of distance, with
one cent charge for each additional
word. Under the old rate the maxi
mum was S5 cents, with 2 cents for
each additional word
To all points under 175 miles, for a
day message of ten words. The charge
is % cents under the new rate.
