As a campaign of education the "Buy

success. Representatives of practically
all lines represented in the Merchants
league have had requests for the rebate
cards, although the plan has been in eff

paign is in the nature of a pioneer week
along the line of trade excursion re-
bates
The dry goods and millinery stores are
receiving the largest number of requests
for the cards and a number of fares
have been refunded at the chamber of
commerce office. 1t is expected that
these shoppers Will return to their homes
and will endorse the plan of the FL Paso
merchants by which railroad fares may
be refunded to purchasers from out of
the CITY. This will be the best endorse
ment the plan can have. the merchants
say, for it will prove to the people that
no effort is being made to increase
prices, or in any way get the amounts
of the railroad fares returned to the
merchants of FL Paso. except through
legitimate trade channels.

\ SHUTDOWN
At TOYAH
EXPECTED
Ell Pasoan Says Oil Com
panies Will Have Lobbists
at the Next Legislature.
WANT TEXAS
LAW CHANGED

That the three oil companies row
in the Toyah oil fields will combine
their interests in order 70 maintain a
lobby at the spring session of the leg
islature, is the assertion of an I'll Paso
oil man who is in touch with the west
Texas field. The expected cessation
of operations in the Toyah field will
be made in order TO prevent the state
from increasing the price Of tho school
and grazing land in that field, much
Of which is now in control or posses
sion Of the three companies, the Texas
company, the Guffey Oil company and
the Prairie City company.
To prevent the legislature from pass
ing laws adverse to the interests Of
these companies it is stated that these
companies will maintain lobby at
the state capitol, in order to bring
whatever influence and pressure that
tors Until the legislature takes some
definite action. it is claimed. not a
walking beam will kick in the Toyah
field, nor a single oil rig be set up.
At least none belonging to the three
developing companies which are now in
the Toyah field.
Right there is where the rub will
come. the Ell Pasoan says. While the
Texas, Guffey and Prairie City COM
panies control large part of the field,
they have no cinch on the earth down
Toyah way, and have no way of pre-
venting some Independent company
from unloading a bull drum, calf drum
and the other attachments of a full
grown oil rig from a T. & P. freight
car, setting it up on some part of
Toyah county not controlled by the big
companies and bringing in the field be-
fore the legislature has passed upon
the tangled skein of facts and figures
connected with the ultimate ownership
of the land in that country.
There is already a rig outlined
against the sky toward the noun
tains on the thumb hand side of
the T. & P. Another well has
been located by means OF an improved
electric divining rod. Others are to be
located and wells sunk during the fall
and winter, regardless of the action
of the big three. There is nothing
to prevent any one or all of these COM
panies from bringing in the field with
a good, old gusher. And it is probable
that nothing will if they can find oil
where they are drilling Should this
be the case, the Texas, Guffey and
Prairie City companies will pay the
freight, the f. o. b. charges in this case
being oil land prices and taxes for
school land country on the open range.
This outcome would make the people
Of Toyah feel pretty bad, would it not?
Yes, it would not

PERKINS PROMISES
TO help. SHIPPERS
Uniform Lading Bill Measure
May Pass Congress at
This Session
Commerce Chambers All Along
Pacific Coast Work for
Its Passage

Shippers throughout the United
States. and proportionately those who
ship out of San Francisco and coast
ports, will profit by the adoption of
the uniform lading bill which is ex-
pected to pass the senate at this ses-
sion of congress.
Senator Perkins in wire to Secre-
tary Burks of the chamber of COM
merce yesterday declared that he was
supporting the bill and would do what
lay in his power to effect its passage.
The bill passed the house June and
Is before the senate committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce, of
which Stephen B. Elkins is chairman.
The Elkins committee is expected to
send the measure through for the ap-
proval of President Taft before the
close of this session.
The uniform lading bill measure
provides a form of lading to super
cede that now in general use. The
present form is marked mot negoti-
able" and precludes the shipper from
obtaining advances on his shipment
until it is actually delivered to the
consignee. In San Francisco this
means often delay of month or
more.
By the terms of the new measure
the uniform bill of lading, which is
made out to the order of a consignee,
will not be marked mot negotiab able,' -
and may as result be turned in at
the local bank as soon as received.
Thus a cash advancement may be OBJ
tanned by the shipper weeks before the
actual delivery. What is known as the
straight bill of lading," made out for
delivery to a specified person, will not
be changed.
For more than a year the chambers
of commerce of Spokane, Seattle, Ia
coma, Portland, Oakland, Los Angeles,
San Diego and San Francisco have
been working for the passage of this
