WORK IN WELSH OIL FIELD.
New Wells Being Put Down, Old Ones
Being Reclaimed.

Renewed interest is being shown in
the Welsh Oil Field, and a good deal
OF work is being undertaken. The
Welsh Land and Development Com
pany, which has always been the most
successful as we'll as the most enthusi-
astlc explOters of the field, are engage
ed at the present time in trying to re-
cover the wells formerly operated by
the Central City Company of Michigan,
, under lease from the home company.
1t is hoped that these wells may soon
be brought back to their original
etficincy when they can be operated
upon a paying bases.
The Gulf Coast Company, which is
new concern in the field, are still
working on their second well. Their
first one which was brought in a few
months ago has proven TO be a good
pumper, and the showing for the
second one was as good or better than
for the first. But on account of a
blowout they have not yet been able
to get in operation, but are still
working on it.
Mr.. c. E. Smith of Port Arthur,
Texas, one of the most persistent OPP.
orators in the field, will begin drill
ing this week on d system of three or
more wells. He says he has full con
fidence that he will be able to make a
paying proposition out of system of
several wells, operated economically,
even though he strikes nothing better
than the shallow STRATA that have
been tapped in the past.
An effort is being made to secure q
pumping station from the Pipe Line
company that will give steady
market for the output of the field.
They have the promise of this in case
the yield can be increased so as to
warrent the expense of installing and
operating the plant. Those who are
in position to know are Of the opin-
ion that they will be ableto accomplish
this in the near future.

RICE CONSUMPTION IN CANAL ZONE.
West India Negro Principal Consumer,
FaStidlOus In His Taste.

Cristobal, Nov. 5, 1909.
Mr.. Fl. L. GueXdan,
Manager Rice Association Of America,
Crowley, La.
Sir
Your letter to Major Jadwin, sub
ject-rce has been referred to me.
Rice is handled through the Com
missary Department of the Panama
Railroad Company. We have four
kinds down here. First, Louisiana
head rice Honduras Style. This is a
favOrlte with the American employees,
and is purchased on competitive bids
in the States. The contract usually
goes to Gotham, or some other New
Orleans JObber.
! Second, we have tried the Japan
seed rice from Louisiana and a very
small quantity Of Japan rice from
Japan, There was no demand for
either of them, as nobody here seems
to like them.
The bulk of the rice handled is
RangOOn rice, which is imported di-
rect 1t is consumed entirely by the
West Indian negro laborer who does
not seem to like any other kind. We
have tried samples. of various Ameri-
can rices, but we can not get any low
enough in price, or equal in quality
with the Rangoon rice, which will be
acceptable to the West Indians taste.
This rice costs the Panamaian mer-
chants about $3.50 a hundred pounds,
G. F. Colon, and costs us less, as
we do not have to pay duty.
II you have anything suitable for
this trade, should be pleased to re-
ceive samples and quotations, ships
side New Orleans. The West Indian
negro is very peculiar individual,
and will not change the things he has
been used to. They will not eat our
high grade polished rices at all.
Very respectfully,
Eugene T. Wilson,
Subsistence Officer.

STRIKE THREATENS c. p. r.
Twelve Thousand Machinists Dead

Twelve Thousand Machinists Dead
locked on Negotiations.
Winnipeg, Man., March 31.-Alarm-
ing reports are current here that anoth-
er big strike of machinists on the Ca
madam Pacific railway is imminent.
The company, it is alleged, refuses to
negotiate jointly with the men on the
Eastern and Western systems, and as
that is strongly favored by the men, a
deadlock has been reached in the nego-
tiations. Last night more delegates
arrived from far Eastern and Western
points and Grant Hall, head of the me-
chanical department in the West for
the company, who was summoned to
Montreal few days ago, wired last
night in very discouraging terms.
The present schedule expires in a
few days and a new one must be at
once agreed upon. If the men strike
this time they will have the backing of
the American Federation of Labor,
with whom they affiliated this winter,
and will be in better position to Sc
cure funds to fight the company. Some
IL, men will be involved from
Moncton, N. B., to Vancouver, B. c.

Hartman Would Put Every Railroad
Under One Head.
Denver, March 31.-If E. II. Harri-
man could have his way, he would
bring all the railroads in America into
one giant combination, under one head,
and begin Immediately the expenditure
of $3.50, 900, 900 or $500, 900, 900 in i'm
proving the weaker roads, both physi-
cally and financially. In this way he
says he believes he could do the great
est good to the government, the people
of the United States generally. to the
shippers individually and finally to the
owners of railroad stock.
Mr.. Hartman spent two hours in
Denver today as the guest of the cham
ber of commerce, then departed on his
eastward journey.
eff we could, we would throw our
cloak over the weaker lines throughout
the country and begin Immediately the
expenditure of between $3.50, 900, ,00(
and $500, ,0O0,O to improve them, .
said Mr.. Hartman in an informal talk
at the chamber of commerce. "It
ought to be done Immediately and
think l can qualify as an expert OF
these matters. This should be dont
openly and under some sort of govern
ment supervision. But we would all bt
put in prison if we tried it."

When their labors were completed,
the officials reported unanimously to
Mr.. Taft in favor of the White, and,
accordingly, car of this make was i'm
mediately ordered from the manufac-
turers, The White Company of Cleve-
land
The new car was delivered to Mr..
Taft in Washington few days before
his Inauguration and since that time it
has been in almost constant use. There
has not been day when the president
or some members of his family have
not been seen riding around the nation
al capital in the new car. 1t is limited
that Mr.. Taft likes fast travelling and
that when he rides out into the open
country, he does not always insist that
the speed of the car be kept within the
legal limits.
C. A. Hawkins, manager Of the Pa
cific coast branch of The White Com
pany, 1470 Market street, San Fran
cisco, said recently to correspondent
Of this paper: "We are receiving
many inquiries each day asking for full
details regarding the construction OF
Mr.. Taft's car and in reply we are
sending copies of our catalog. Mr..

The news=record. [volume] (Enterprise, Wallowa County, Oregon) 1907-1910, 1909-04-07

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr.. Taft would
use an automobile during his term as
president, much rivalry developed
among the leading manufacturers for
the honor Of selling him car and the
public watched with interest to see
what Mr.. Taft's choice would be. The
knowing ones predicted that the White
Steamer would be selected and they
pointed out that President Roosevelt
had used White Steamers for two years
at his summer home at Oyster Bay and
had recommended this make to Mr..
Taft as the most desirable.
This prediction proved correct, al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely on
Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation but,
with his usual thoroughness, determin-
ed to have an investigation made of all
the principal makes. Accordingly, he
asked several officers of the War de-
partment to look into the matter for
him and they tested many makes OF
cars, visited number of factories &c
that they might see what materials
were used and, finally, they investigat
ed the records OF the different types oi
cars in public contests and in private
ssrvics,

er except that his car has the United
States coat of arms painted on either
door. In other words, when we make
car for the president of the United
States there is no way in which we can
make it any better than the car which
you, or anybody else, can purchase
from US.
"Some Of those writing to me about
Mr.. Taft's car say that although they
are very desrious of having car like
Mr.. Taft's, they are afraid that such
car is somewhat larger and more ex-
pensive than they desire. In reply to
these letters l point out that our Model
'O' 20 horsepower car is exactly like
our 40 horsepower model, except az re-
CARDS the size of the different parts.
The principle of construction is exactly
the same and the smaller car possesses
all the desirable qualities of our larger
model. In other words, | point out
that they can secure an exact duplicate
of Mr.. Taft's car for 81, 900, or a car
of the same qualities but of smaller di-
mensions for only $4,000 Judging by
the demand for White cars, good pro-
portion of those desiring to purchase
automobiles are quite content to trust
President Taft's judgment as to the
best and most desirable make"
