Opposition to Reed Bill.

George c. Greer, of Dallas, Tex, at
torney for the Lone Star Gas com
pany. which serves natural gas by
pipe line from the Henrietta and
other northern Texas fields, is in
Washington in opposition to Sena-
tor Reeds bill making gas pipe lines
common carriers. Mr.. Greer states
that his company contemplates ex-
tending its pipe lines to the Oklaho-
ma fields, so that the Reed bill, II
passed, would affect them.
As the house committee on inter
state commerce has adjourned for
this session. it does not seem pos
sible that any action can be taken
on the Reed bill before next winter

1t mas been Just a half century
since it was first learned that oil
exists under the earth. That discov-
cry was made in Pennsylvania, and
since that time a great deal of pros
pecting has been done in many OF
the states of the union. Many Of
the states are now producing OIL and
in foreign countries tests are being
made. Russia, Roumania, Austria,
Egypt Mexico and other countries
have oil and tests are being made
now in China. One of the big Amer
lean companies will drill tests in
South America. Oil is being found
everywhere and the result will be
that this country Will receive fewer
orders from abroad and the oil men
will have to depend more upon their
home trade to take care of the pro
duction. In the meantime new uses
are being found for oil. If it be
comes cheaper more railway compan'
les and factories will use it for fuel
An inventor has a plan by which
he will pipe crude into the homes
for fuel just as gas is now used,
and there is no reason why this in
dustry will not open a great market
for oil. Cities and towns of 500 pop
ulation can be piped and the homes
supplied with oil for fuel. Oil pro
duction within fifty years has become
one of the great Industries of the
country, and it is destined to grow
greater.

fore that there was any fun on this
kind of craft; but here we were,
steaming up the Severn river with a
crowd who knew only gaiety and
laughter, aboard craft that had driven
many Spanish speaking gatherings to
their knees. Flags were flying every
where. Hundreds of midshipmen and
officers in their uniforms were cheer
ing the Navy crew, and the finest tor
pedo boat destroyer of the lot carried
the visitors from Cambridge There
were two eight oar crews from Cam
bridge and two gfrom Annapolis; and
as the fragile sheels sped up the river

ing from hundreds of threats filled the

spectacle, our little party of civilians
felt glad that we were a part of the
great country which was able to send
these fine young men to sea to pro-
tect us against foreign foes.

whom we talked explained it.
Everybody here wants to go to war,

graduate the first class Immediately,
instead of waiting until the regular
graduation period which will occur in

explain that the time of the Spanish
American there existed a scarcity Of
naval officers, and not only was the
graduation period advanced, but
three year class, which ordinarily
would have remained at Annapolis for
another year was graduated in order
to supply officers for our ships. Every
graduate of Annapolis is commission
ed as an ensign, which is the lowest
rank of commissioned officer; but
advancement comes quickly.
