PYRAMID OIL COMPANY
GETS SHOWING OF GAS

On section 1S-92-25, Midway-Sunset
field, the Pyramid Oil company, at a
depth of 478 feet, encountered a show
ing of gas in the blue shale. This is
something very encouraging, as none
of the Pyramids neighbors got this
showing at SO shallow depth. Super
intendent Ho1Sk says there are good
chances Of getting oil at a much less
depth than was at first figured on,
which was about $500 feet.
On section 26-31-22 the Pyramid COM
pany has reached depth Of 1856 feet,
and has encountered a showing of oil
which indicates that the "sticky blue"
has been penetrated and that the oil
sand is about to be entered.

program every day by Miss Carrico for

opera house. A member Of the con-
vention committee announces there is
none better than Miss Carrico and her
orchestra and that she will fill the bill

CORPORATION TAX DEFENDED

to United States Supreme
Court.

Washington, Mar 1.-THE govern
ment's defense of the constitutional
ity of the corporation tax provisions
of the new tariff law was submitted
in printed form to the Supreme
court of the United States. 1t is the
work of Lloyd w. Bowers, solicitor
general, but bears the signature also of
his chief. Attorney General Wicker
sham. On it the government will
shape its oral defense of the law when
the corporation tax cases come up for
argument, probably on Thursday.
The first point sought to be made
is that the tax is not a direct one
upon property. but is an excise upon
the carrying on or doing of bust
ness" The declarations OF the stat
ute, as well as decisions of the courts,
are relied upon to support this point
AS to the statute. Mr.. Bowers says
in his brief that it shows the transac-
ton Of business to be the subject of
the tax and the income of business Is
used merely as measuring the amount
of tax, which rests not upon that in
come, but upon the occupation from
which it is derived"

PUSHING new INTERuRBAN
WORK ON THE LINE FROM CEN.
TERvlLLE TO MYSTIC BEGUN.
Cars viii Be Running April 15-Albia
and centerville Line Will Be Ex-
tended South to Coal Fields.

Centeryille, Ia, March 16.-Special:
Work has begun this week on the
completion OF tne seven mile interur.
ban line OF the CenIerville Light and
Traction company to Mystic. This
line was made possible by big bond
subscription campaign last summer,
ending triumphantly on July in a
big mass meeting followed by an OK
roast and barbecue few days later.
Since the line was financed the stock
has all been purchased by local CAPT
talists, d. c. Bradley and F. S. Payne.
The latter was the president of the
company. The line to Mystic is
through big coal field and a fine
farming community, nice level upland.
Some new mines are expected to de
velop the coming summer on the line,
and already there is a movement to-
ward buying up small tracts Of land
along the line for suburban homes and
truck farming. Mystic is thriving
town Of 5000 on the Milwaukee road
from Chicago to Kansas City. Ex-
pcCldllOuS dtS ludI Iue lIcISUL anu
express arrangements will be entered
into with the Milwaukee and the
Wells-Fargo express companies by
which Centerville will become prac-
tically station on the road. Pres
ident Payne says that with good
weather the cars will be running into
Mystic by April 10.
Another big interurban project that
will make great activity in this sec
ton of the country this summer is
the Southern Iowa Traction company,
which recently acquired the Abba and
Centerville line and will transform it
into an interurban and extend it
south into the big coal fields fifteen
miles wide and sixty miles long south
of here. Steam power will be used to
handle freight and motor cars for
passenger service.
