ORIGIN OF OIL A MYSTERY

Great fortunes United States been made in oil yet able determine the origin of this wonderful fluid which is absolute necessity mankind" said F c. Postle of Pittsburg, who a guest a the Willard
 This product, which commercially known petroleum, utilized in the United States until 1852 when the production amounted to 2,OO0 barrels. and practically all this used for medicinal purposes As is well known, PennsyI- vania and New York the oil producing states up 1875. the output the entire United States amounting to but 75,000,0OO barrels during the first sixteen years and this during the great oil excitement days
 The annual production to more than 20O,000.O0O barrels and the demand exceeds the production, which explains why oil has ad vanced in price than 100 per during the last eighteen months.
 Tt thought at time that petroleum belonged the fossil carboniferous family. scientists claimed that it from Vegeta- ton and today the opinion is that petroleum comes from animal matter. There has been but little new production of late, and exaggerated opinion has become prevalent the Mexican output because some big gushers have been struck in that country. The trouble with the Mexican wells is that to lose overnight and the who has 10000 barrel producer Wednesday may wake up Thursday morning and find he has dry hole There is a peculiar underground floating sand in Mexico which shuts in producing oil wells and makes production in that country very uncertain. Okla homa is the state for the highest grade oil and California for the fuel oil. but where the stuff from beats me"

RAILROAD CHIEFS
DROP THEIR FIGHT
AGAINST VALUATION
Bill Almost Certain to Pass and
They Only Ask That Care Be
Exercised.

That the railroad presidents of the
country are convinced it is no longer
worth while to struggle against the
enactment of a physical valuation bill
was made plain at hearing before
the Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce today. The tone of the
hearing made it clear that the railroad
managers believe a bill certain to pass
this session.
1t had been generally supposed the
railroad men would try to fight the
bill, but they did not do so, and took
an unexpected tack.
They expressed no opposition to the
passage OF bill, but did express Con-
Germ that ii be framed with care ana
that the valuation be carefully made
Friends of physical valuation this al
ternoon, in view of the attitude of the
railroad men, think there is no doubt
OF carly acton. Tney betleve the couIi-
try will soon see a valuation OF the
railroads In progress.
The rail- tad men who spoke before
the committee today included President
i. F. Loree, of the Delaware and Hud-
son; Frank TrumbuIl. chairman OF tne
board of directors of the Chesapeake
and Ohio; and +. A De.ano. of the
Wabash, president and receiver of that
road. This afternoon, Prof. Z. II. Be
mis-, of Chicago. and Prof. John r.
Commons, of the University of Wiscon-
sln, who favor valuation, Will be heard.
Both Mr. Trumbull and Mr.. Loree
made 1t plain to the committee that
the greatest care should be taken in
valuation, otherwise the results would
be damaging. Mr.. Loree declared IT
would be "a national calamity" IL
an unwise valuation were made.
Mr.. Trumbull held that ii woull be
unfair to go back to period before
the civil war or just following 1t to
find a basis for estimating present
values. He thought fair value could
be worked out from data on the prop
critics at the time of the reorganiga-
tions. He estimated the value of the
roads at fourteen billions.
Mr.. I4oree urged that the bill be
changed so that the valuation should
not be made by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, but by commits
sion of nine made up of three mem
bers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, three of the Amer
icap Railway Association. the chief
engineer of the War Department,
the chief of the Bureau of Steam En-
giDeerinS of the Navy, and the presi-
dent of the American Society Of Civil
Engineers a o..
F. A. Delano said his chief concern
was that care be taken to make
proper valuation. He did not oppose
the legislation.
