good story on himself in connection
with this deal Ills home is AT the
town of Salamanca, y. Y. He had
long been operating on his North
Usage leases and had been in tho
habit Of borrowing money from time
to time from one Of the local banks.
For some time previous TO the sale
of his property to the Standard oil
Company, ne had been borrowing
more money than usual, because of
the extended work which he was car
ryiug on. While he was away In
oklahoma, the directors Of the bank
had q meeting and discussed the sub
ject among themselves, and finally
arrived at the conclusion that they
could not loan any more money to
Senator Fancher.
In the meantime, final terms were
reached between tho Senator and th,
standard oil people, and the first
payment on the big deal came to him
in the form II check from 20 Broad
way for dfty thousand dollars
soon after his arrival there. the
bank people thought il nothing but
courtesy To- the senator that he should

loan limit of their institution and
that they would Dee glad if he could
make some arrangement 10 liquidate
at least portion OF his Indebtedness
which, after all was not very large.
So one Of the directors was commits
stoned To visit Senator Fancher and
inform him in a friendly way Of the
situation. He did SO ana when he had
finished his story the Senator said;
Very Well Can YOU cash a check
for me?' and the director said. Yes,

bank with a bland smile and said:
Gentlemen. here is a check for
fifty thousand dollars from the stand

glad 90 have YOU cash. and out of
which cash 7 viii liquidate my In
dehtelness I Just sold my on prop

one can better imagine the look Of
surprise that came over the faces Of
the bank officials than he could de-
scribe H. It is sufficient to say that
after a few moments OF more or less
embarrassment on their part Scna-
tor Fancher was very warmly con-
graduated on his good fortune, and
everything was lovely.

the decomposition Of some form on
lizard which inhabited the earth at
a prehistoric period According to
this investigator, who sets forth his
findings In the most serious fashion.
the lizards inhabited vast inland
sea that extended from the AueChe-

these reptiles were from forty to
eighty feet long and weighed many
tons each and were largely compos-
ed of fat When the upheavel took
place which threw the plains above
the water. all the creatures that were
It's inhabitants took refuge in pools
and the water In these was gradually
ovnporatcd. AS this water was be-
ing evaporsted the lives of these am
phihious animals were sacrificed and
the fat was literally boiled out OF
them. The oil rose to the surface
and was covered with a. layer of dust
and sand that became so heavy II
sank In the meantime. other lizards
were being boiled out and new
layer of oil formed on the top OF the
water which collected Its stratum

layers Of oil bearing sands and of

PIPE hIIE PROBE

FEDERAL COMMISSION ,tNN MEET
HERE n OCIOBlR
HEARING NO. I AT HOUSTON
OH Companies Say Lines Are Not

Applies tO the Hallway.

The announcement is made from
Washington that the Interstate Com
merco Commission will begin hearing
on the general subject of pipe lines
in relation to interstate commerce at
Houston, Tex. on september 20. Nat
urally this proceeding is looked for
ward TO by the pipe line companies
and the oil fraternity generally with
great interest. The Interstate Com
merce Act, as amended on June u.s.
1910, brings pipe lines within the
jurisdiction OF the commission The
commission, however, has never In
vestigated the pipe line situation in
any OF its phases, and the subject Il
a new one for the commission to con-
slider.
After the hearings at Houston, the
commission viii come 10 oklahoma
and have hearings here. 1t is pre-
sumed that these hearings will be
held IN Tulsa owing to the position
which this city holds in the oil bus
mess. and especially owing to the
fact that three Of the pipe lines have
Offices here. In all probability the
commission will reach Tulsa about
October /, as It is not believed the
proceedings at Houston will be very
long extended

lines. including the Prairie OH a Gas
Company, the Gulf Pipe Line Compa-
ny, the Texas Company and the Ok

This inquiry had its foundation In
investigations that were set on foot
many months ago by the government,
who sent agents here to look into the
situation. with view of bringing
suit under the sherman Antitrust
