bring about this trausferencc OF the
industry from the practically vN-
huusted gas regions of some other
states to this virgin gas field, The
strength of the situation here Is
grultly increased hy the large sup
plies Of available coal which can bee
utliErd lu the years tu come Should
the gas supply become partly ,N
huustcd as elsewhere. So abundant
however is the supply ut Eas. with
wells M many places having % pro.
duclng capacity of 5,OOOtOUU tu -,
100000 feet per day and rigid Laws
preventing the undue waste OF gas,
| that II seems reasonable 10 look Tor
a much longer life for this gas field
than rs usually anticipated in any gu-
region.
Indicative Of the glass-makus in
dustry and the rapldlty os its d,V,l-
opment a large proportion of which
Is due 10 the work ot the Frisco

is the following list of glass plants
now in operation or under cunstruc-
tion:

The cash Investment in those
plants viii be considerably over SL-
100000, and possibly viii run to
$1,50O,OOO. The largest single plant
is that of the Skeltuu Glass GO. Dr.
Skelton, the owner Of th,a plant a
very large operator in oil and gIs, ms
well as in industrial interests, states
that before thu plant ls fully CONE
pleted and ready for operation 10 viii
r.
$1,OOO,OOO. Based ON this estimate oi
cost for this plant when completed,
a total for all of these plants viii
considerably exceed the amount stat
ed. The Skelton plant is Do.ns bulIt
for producing glass by patented ma
chInery. a number of other glass
plants are now ncBouatlng with
view to locating In this section.
W lille the SlaSs-nEaklus Industry
In this rapid development IS OF great
Importance not only in itself, but hJ
reason of the fact that it is indIeaty"
of a trend of Industrial interest 10
these almost hmitiess gas fields, the
tremendous oil Industry OF the state
is the spectacular thing OF the day
and likewise the great wealth aud
freight creator.
Up to the present time a large pro-
portion Of the oil produced I'm this
state has been shipped out by pipe
lines in It's crude state to be refined
elsewhere. Now there is a vory rapid
growth of the oil refinery Industry
In Oklahoma which will ada vastly
/ to the railroad traffic and ut tho
same time practically quadruple tho
value of every barrel of oli that pass
es from its crude form through the
being erected to the refined state. In
some cases the value of the oil and
the by-prOduCts will far more than
quadruple the crude oil value, but II
is safe TO say that every ba.IDi of oil
on the average which Is now selling
for 9S cents a barrel will as it passes
through local refineries- be increased
in value to at least 81 us a minimum
Last year this state produced In
the neighborhOod OF 1870 600 barrels
per day. and little more than n Ycl
ago the price was SO cents per bar
rel. At the present time careful esti-
mates make the production 10000
barrels per day, while the market
price of 9S cents a barrel This viii
mean an increase of probably lO,-
600, 900 to 100000 barrels for the
year. carrying the production of this
year to largely over 10000, 900 bar
rels, as against 52,000,,O00 barrels last
! year. with this increase in produc-
| ton and an increase Of nearly 100
per cent in price, this years oil out
put will probably be at least double
the value of last years
At the present time there are in
operation two pipe lines carrying oil
to Port Arthur, and one 20 Baton
Rouge, where the Standard oil COM
pany has a large refinery There are
three pipe lines to the north owned
to the Prairie Oil and Gas Co, for
merly subsidiary of the standard
and probably still controlled by
/ Standard Oil people. This Prairie
company carries oil TO Whiting. Ind
and it is there continued 0u its Jour
ney in the pipe lines Of the standard
| Oil Co. TO Bayonne, n. j., distance
of probably 1900 TO 1000 miles. There
are four small pipe lines that carry
| oil TO independent refineries in the
