"In certain OF the Southern Califor-
MIA fields, the gas that accompanies
the oil is exceedingly rich in gaso-
line, but up to a short time ago prac-
tically all this gas, with the eXcep-
tion of some used locally for fuel,
went to waste AS it had been found
at some wells the value of the re-
coverable gasoline in the gas is
worth as much as twenty per cent of
the oil produced from the same well,
it is not extravagant to estimate the
loss of gasoline-the most desired
constituent of the prO1uct-in the
wasted gas OF California at ten per
cent OF the value of the oil produced
in the Southern California fields up
to 1912, or a clear waste of about
81. 900. 900 or $4,000 900. The value of
the wasted gases carrying minor
amounts of gasoline, but useful for
fuel purposes. will bring the total
toss up to fully five per cent of th'
value OF the total oil produced in
the state, or sS,OOO,OOOI"
Mr.. Arnold quotes I. C. White, State
Geologist of West Virginia as auth
ority for the statement that from one
we'll In eastern Kentucky there pour
ed a stream of gas for twenty years
without any attempt to shut it in or
utilize it, the amount of which it
has been figured was worth at cur
rent prices more than s3,OOO,OO0
Mr. Arnold declares that there was
years ago great waste in Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Indiana and West Virginia,
but it has been stopped through the
bnsness-like methods of the larger
companies and the efficient state leg
islation.
The oil experts of the bureau offer
"a number of methods whereby the
gas may be saved 70; future use and
urge upon the industry and the states
involved the necessity for quick ac-
ton if the gas fields are to be OF
service in the future. Already num-
Der OF fields have become exhausted
through waste and others are begin

NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY AND
ITS ATTENDANT WASTES

Washington, May 12-Oil experts Of
the United States Bureau of Mines
who have been investigating the nat.
ural gas industry have reported to
Joseph A. Holmes, the director, that
millions of dollars worth of this most
perfect fuel is being wasted each year
in the United states.
"The history OF the natural gas in
dustry is an appalling record of in
credible waste" says Ralph Arnold
and Frederick G. Clapp, the experts,
in their report made public today
They refer 10 the waste in Oklahoma
Louisiana and California as being no.
torious.
In Oklahoma, one hundred million
cubic feet OF gas is escaping into the
air every twenty-four hours. This has
value of from $4,000, 900 to $1,000
900 a year. This waste is also equal
TO one and one quarter million tons
OF the best bituminous coal
The waste in Louisiana is estimat-
ed at seventy-fiye million cubic feet
of gas daily. valued at $4,000 for
each day. or S5,i75,000 for the year.
This waste of gas is equivalent 70
nearly one million tons of caol 1t is
pointed out by the experts that this
waste is especially aggravating be-
cause of the fact that Louisiana does
not have any coal resources within
her boundaries, and that while the
state is allowing its supply OF gas
to escape in the air, the citizens are
paying for coal that has to be trans
ported some distance.
There we're three principal wells
in the Caddo field from which the
greater part OF the waste occurred" ="
says Mr. Arnold. 1.-TWO of these have
been closed by the owners, thus PROV
Ing that closure is feasible. No
attempt has been made to close the
other. and when visited by Mr.. Clamp
in February, 1912, it consisted of a
crater perhaps an acre in extent in
the center of which the gas was
forming a geyser-like mass of mud
and water to a height of twenty or
thirty feet. During much Of the
time this we'll is burning. The gas
from this well has been going to
waste for three years. Two other
wells having an estimated volume e
twenty to thirty million cubic feet
per day blew out and burned for

The bill provides a board of con-

POWERS Of PRISON

PRESENT WARDENS At GRAM
lTE AND McALESTER CANNOT
BE RE-APPOINTED.

The house OF representatives Sat-
urday passed finally the Carpenter
Rediwne bill, reorganizing the powers
of the board of control, reducing the
salary of the warden Of the peniten-
tiary from $4,000 to $4,000 and form
ulating a general code for the control
of state prisons and convicts.
The bin was much amended in
passage, and now goes to a confer
/ence committee to adjust the differ
ences between tne senate and house.
The house also passed finally the
bill by Senator Roddie and others,
defining the larceny of natural gas;
passed the Vandeyenter- Roddie Bar
rett- Carpenter bill regulating build
ing and loan associations; killed the
Russell tax amendment which would
exempt farm machinery, manufactur-
ing machinery and a certain percent
age of livestock, and killed the Thom-

word of mouth, from some person
who is in on the several events on
the ground floor. The metropolitan
paper first gets the STORY" in the
rough and then pads it out. The
reporters and the back wri'rrs" on
these large journals are neither
men gifted with second sight. They
can no more look at the outside OF
a brick wall and see the scandals
which may be in course Of enactment
back of them, than can the writer
on the most measly little sheet ever
published in the most Insignificant
little backwoods town in the world.
But they get the tips and finish them
up and the cities get ont good, live,
newsy papers-because the people OF
the cities know news when they see
it and tell the newspaper represent
atives what they know.
Take deaths for instance. The re
porter on a metropolitan paper is no,
a mind reader enough to know that
Peter Smith died at the age of 81
and was survived by a widow AMI
sixteen children, and that Boxem &
Plantem were the undertakers. Meth
er does he know, until told by some
one, that Pat Mulchay was struck
hy a switch engine and afterwards
operated upon in Scalpem & Snitch-
ems JSsnitarium. The first intimation
of these events comes in over the
whispering wires of the telephone
liness So it is with the great polit-
ral scandals and intrigues. Someone
passes the tip out and the news
paper does the rest
And therein lies the secret of a
god local paper nthe small city.
Every man who takes pride in mis-
home city can help the paper to ad-
ertise the city by heralding the
happenings of the day in that little
city to the world The man who
does this is benefited individually by
it also An accident happening in

be taken from there to the morguei
& Chargem, gets each of
the four establishments a free adyer-
tisement as well as enabling the
paper to give to its readers a live
news story, if only the first part OF
the story be telephoned in to the
office
So If the average man will drop
an occasional word of what he knows
to the men who toll to give him
good. readable, newsy paper he will
not have to cuss and wish "some
other paper would start up"

Every Ardmoreite candidate should
bear in mind that at no other time
can they possibly get as many votes,
or retrenCh themselves as we'll as
right at this stage of the contest.
Every club OF $50 of any kind OF
subscriptions counts extra bonus
votes, and the bonus votes graduate
upward with each additional club. 50
the more clubs a candidate turns
in, the more extra votes she accu-
mulates. The 500 clubs offer ends
next Thursday evening, May l5-just
three days away. The subscription
votes schedule also drops to the third
and last period OF the contest on
that day. And don't forget, you get
less votes on all subscriptions after
Thursday, May Is.
The fact of the matter is, that
every candidate who intends to win
any one Of the many prizes offerei
by The Ardmoreite on June fifth,
should do their utmost now and Sc,
cure every possible subscription while
the extra votes bargain days are on.
Delay nov may mean defeat to can
dates who are over confident. One
subscription. or two, may decide Who
shall be the most honored candidate
in either one of the two contest dis
tricts, and the winner of the first
grand capital prize, that classy Ford
1913 five passenger touring car. And
one lone subscription may decide any
of the other grand prizes-better take
