THE NEW CALIFORNIA
RIELED OIL PIPE.

The $4,5OO,00O rifled pipe line
spanning the 2S2 miles from Bakers
field to Port Costa with its relay
pumping station every 2S miles, its
go men on duty along the route and
its flow of between 1900 and 10000
barrels of thick, heavy oil past a
given point every "a hours, is now in
operation
The construction of the pipe line
was started just a year ago. The idea
was the joint invention Of John D.
Isaacs, consulting engineer at Chica-
&c of the Southern Pacific company.
and Buckner Speed.
The rifled pipe is a new scheme. It
has been described at some length in
the Scientific American. Into the
interior surface OF the pipe are cut
corrugations about an eighth of an
inch deep, and these run spirally
round and round, making a complete
circuit every 10 feet. Into this rifled
pipe from two separate engines are
pumped nine parts of the heavy oil
and one part Of water. The water
following the rifled indentures takes
a swirling movement and forms a
very thin sheet of lubricant about the
oil, and the two move along together.
the oil forming a dark central core
that does not come into direct con-
tact with the pipe. This avoids fric-
tion, which, with such oil, would pre-
vent progress. 1t also saves the life
OF the pipe.
At each pumping station on this
rifled pipe line there are two $4,000
barrel oil tanks and one 1O,000-bar-
rel water tank. The flowing oil and
Its surrounding sheet of water are
received into one of the big duplicate
tanks and then the water is drained
off from the bottom and again taken
up by a duplicate water pump and
shot into the big pipe into which oil

engine.

All as Result of Injunction.

Despite the wrangle between the
two states over salmon fishing in the
Columbia river which to date has
resulted in an injunction by the fed
eral court restraining the oregon au-
thorities from attempting to enforce
the Oregon law for the time. i'm
mense good has been done the SAL

10 keep the upper stretch of the
stream closed for a season, says the
Hood River Newsletter.
Since August 20, the date when the
new oregon law placed a ban on
fishing east Of the Sandy. some fish
have Of course been caught in the up
per river, for the most part by men
who deliberately ignored the Oregon
statute with a view to having the
matter adjudlcated by the courts, but
the operations were desultory and
the catch east of the Sandy to date
has been but a fraction of what it
would have been had the law not
intertered.
The result is that not for many
years have so many Of the fish been
allowed to get to the spawning
grounds Of the upper reaches Of the
stream and its tributaries, which
will mean a decided increase in the
supply Of the fish for next season.
A local dealer said Of the situation
recently:
"Not for years has the outlook for
the coming season been so favorable
