HAVE TROUBLE IN
HAULING THE PIPE
Terrible Condition of Roads
Is a Handicap to the
TideWater Company.
TENTED TOWNS ARE MODEL
CANVAS HOMES OF THE PIPE
LAYERS ARE VERY CLEANlY
AND THE BEST OF ORDER is
ALWAYS MAINTAINED.

Hagerstown, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE
Tidewater Oil company now have all
the teams available. which is nearly
forty In number, hauling pipe and te1e-
graph poles from the freight yard
of the Pennsylvania to the pipe line.
The roads have not been in good con-
dition for hauling and therefore
makes it twice as costly to the COM
pany Each load must be weighed be-
fore going out and such days as Sat
urday the load must not exceed 5000
pounds. When the roads are frozen
the law did not compel the weighing
of them and nearly three times as
much work was accomplished. Each
pipe weighs 400 pounds and is six in
ches in diameter and IS and 20 feet in
length.
Three Pipes at a Time.
Saturday only three pipes were al
lowed to a wagon while, when the
roads were frozen, nine pipes were
hauled. Ten telegraph poles were
loaded on the wagons then but six
was the limit Saturday.
Seventy-five more workmen arrived
at an early hour Saturday morning,
tired and hungry. having Travelled
nearly two nights and day.
Land Office Business.
The restaurants, hotels and grocer
les, not looking for such a number OF
hungry men, were kept busy until
nearly noon feeding them. The men
were willing to pay a good price fol-
something to eat.
Work at the pumping station is be
ing rapidly carried on but people in
this vicinity are watching with more
interest the establishing Of the pipe
line Many have visited the tent vii
lagos which have been erected five
miles apart one east and one west Of
town. It may be year before the
station will be completed while the
| pipe layers will have their work fin
ished and moved farther east in the
course of several days. The camps
are run very systematic. Twelve
| cooks are employed at each camp
| They do their own bread making ane
set very substantial table. The
Italians and natives have their eating
sleeping, ETC., separate.
Good Housekeepers.
The tents are good examples Of
cleanliness, the tables being covered
| with white oil cloth, white porcelain
dishes being used. The bed cover
ings are made OF pretty material ant
each man is under rules to keep these
clean as is possible in camping out
When supper is over the men mus
go to their tents and seek their cot!
at an early hour SO as to be able ant
ready for work the next day. No ca
roussing or swearing is allowed in tht

CHRISTMAS DINNER AT
UNCLE SANS EXPENSE
FOR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND JAcEIES HAVE
SPREAD IN NEW Y0RK-LAST DIN
EER WENT ITO FISHES

Washington, 22-All soldiers and
sailors in the service of the United
States will celebrate Christmas at
the expense of the government.
This year the government will
give the 1900 sailors of the At
lantic battleship fleet, which is a
large percentage of those in the
service, an unusually fine spread
at New York.
Last year the fishes enjoyed
the dinner designed for the sail
ors. The Navy Department had
sent out aboard the ocean steamer
Republic large quantity of cram
berries, nuts, apples, turkeys and
other Christmas dainties valued at
$61, ,191 for the battleship fleet at
Gibraltar, then on its cruise
around the world. The Republic
sank after a collision and so did
the Christmas dinners. A policy
has been adopted in the navy of
taking tne bluejackets periodically
to some big port, where they may
enjoy life to the fullest. The
British navy officials claim to have
discovered that after such periods
of hilarity, the sailor is more con-
tented at sea. They will be start
ed off ON their holidays by big
Christmas dinner, including oys-
ter cocktails, roast turkey, cram
berry sauce, pumpkin pie, ice
cream, assorted fruits and nuts,
coffee and cigars.
In the army special dinners will
be served at the various garrisons
and posts.
