uatlon Shown BY Report Of

3 1-S per cent, or s7,62S.76l over the
1909 totals, which were $214,S77. .2OS.
OF the 1910 figures. the railroads
with total valuation of $1Ss,251, ,945
come first The total miles Of made
track are 1885, or an increase of
12S17 new miles during the past year
reported. Since the Clinton, Oklaho-
ma and Western had not reported on
February /, 1910, which closed the
lend Of the year for the railroad val
uations, the 20 miles of that line
should be added to the 12S.17 of new
track shown by the auditor, making a
total Of new track built between Feb
ruary /, 1907, and February I, 1910,
of l43.17 miles.
OF the new track, the Missouri
Oklahoma & Gulf reports Sl66 miles;
the Wichita Falls and Northwestern,
BAGS.
A feature Of the figures submitted
is that the 1910 assessment Of the
Prairie oil and Gas company is $16-
655,1s6 against $i5.4S9,2S7 last year.
The total valuation Of all oil pipe
lines in the state is $4,000, ,94s, and
since the Prairie Oil and Gas com
Ipany's totals are nine-elevenths OF the
total the fact that the Standard OH
company, of which the Prairie is
subsidiary company, controls the Ok
lahoma oil fields is too plain to need
comment The only rival pipe line
concerns are the Texas Pipe Line
company, the Gulf Pipe Line com
pany, the Oklahoma Pipe Line com.
Ipany and others of much lesser i'm
portance whose valuations are all in
cluded in the $5,5O0,OOO left after the
Standards subsidiary Is deducted.
Evidently the domestication Of the
Standard Oil company is still domes-
ltication in name only. since the
Prairie OIL and Gas company is a for.
leign corporation
