run by settlers during time that can
be spared from the crops, and supply
local needs since there is no oppor-

THE PIPE LINES OF THE UNITED

In the following article the stations
and mileage are given, while in 9TH
er systems this information or data Is
not available. OF the entire system
throughout the northern producing
states, a great number of oil lines are
controlled by the Standard Oil cor
poration.
The recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States rendered
in Washington, ID. c., making pipe
lines common carriers, affects all the
oil lines of the United States, included
in the following article are some of
the most prominent or strongest lines
which are affected like any other line,
The only lines exempt are those which
run the oil of their own company eX
clusively. The only one receiving such
n classification is the one owned and
operated by the Uncle Sam Oil Co, OF
Oklahoma.
The word common carrier implies
that the oil pipe lines now under this
new decision must accept all ship

TUBERCULOSIS

In addition to plenty-of fresh air
and proper diet, those suffering from
or who are predisposed to Tuberculo-
sis are recommended to use Eckman's
Alternative to stop night sweats, Danish
fever and hasten recovery This medi-
cine, by reason of its successful use dur
ing the past, warrants the fullest inves-
tigation possible by every sufferer.
Gckman's Alternative is most effica-
cious in bronchial catarrh and severe
throat and lung affections, and in up
building the system. 1t contains no
narcotics, nor harmful or habit-form-
ing drugs. Accept no substitutes. Sold
by leading druggists. Write to the
Eckman Laboratory, Philadelphia, Pa,
for booklet telling of recoveries.

where they have recently purchased
terminal sites. Should this line be
built, it will very probably parallel
the Standard Oil Company line
through Oklahoma, Arkansas and Lou
isiana.
With the heavy investments in this
state, and incidentally the large pro-
duction at the present time, it is rea-
sonable to believe that this line may
be constructed, as most of their oil
is for export to Europe.

CALIFORNIA


In California the following lines are
in operation in the fields of that state.
In the Coalinga field, the Standard
Oil Co. of California have two lines
operating, one of eight inches and the
other of six inches, which have total
length of about 140 miles, with ter
minals at Port Richmond on the Bay
of San Francisco. The Associated
Transport Company have two siX-inch
lines, one running to Monterey, and
the other to Salinas. The length of
the first line is about 10 miles. The
same company have comparatively
new line of "rified" pipe in operation,
1873 miles in length, which starts in
the Coalinga field and has for its ter
minal Port Costa. The Producers
Transportation Association completed
an eight-inch line several years ago,
which is about 100 miles long from
the Coalinga field to Port Hartford,
but receives part of its capacity from
line running north from the McKit-
trick Midway and Bakersfield districts
or fields The Associated Pipe Line
Company have an eight-inch line of
rined pipe from the Kern River fields
to Port Costa. The Standard Oil Co.
have two lines operating from this
section to Port Richmond which are
Joined by a line extending into the
Midway field. The Santa Maria field
has an outlet for its production
through four lines, of that number
two are the property of the Union Oil
Co.. one of six and one of eight inch
running from Orcutt and Lompoc to
Port Hartford The Associated Trans
portation Co. have an eight-inch line
to Gaviota, and the Standard Oil Co.
have the other line which is of eight
inch pipe. and extends from the field
to Port Richmond. The Royal Dutch
Shell combine have authorized the
of number of eight-inch
lines and other equipment to cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000, 100000.
The use of rifles is of course not

new invention, being placed
in use or practical operation in 1907,
and is the invention of Mr. John ID.
Isaacs and Mr.. Buckner Speed, since
then it has been widely adopted in

the transportation of the visvous oils
a lubricating current of water is pump

Magnolia Pipe Line Company.
The Magnolia have recently COM
pleted an S-inch trunk line from Elec-
ira, Texas to their refinery at Beau
mont, Texas, which is about 450 miles
in length and supplies both the refin-
cry at Corsicana and the one at Beau
mont with light refnable oils from
the Texas Panhandle. With the recent
discovery of oil in commercial guam
titles in the Healdton field of Carter
County, they placed in operation a
siXinch line approximately 26 miles
in length from the field to Addington
With the rapid development of the
field in the past few months, the Mag
nolia Petroleum Co. have authorized
the construction of $1,00O,000.00 re-
finery at Fort Worth to care for the
output of the field Owing to the char
to place it in their high gravity lines.
There is a loop of eight-inch pipe in
course of construction and this should
be completed shortly, and with the
completion of the refinery in October
they should have facilities enough to
handle the whole output of the pres
ent field
Sun Pipe Line Co.
The Sun Pipe Line Company of
Beaumont being a large purchaser of
crude oil have no extensive system of
pipe lines, other than a limited num-
ber of gathering line of six-inch pipe
throughout the South Texas fields.
They have line from Humble to Bat
son, Saratoga, Sour Lake and Spindle
top to their dock at Sabine Pass, Tex,
where the oil is loaded on the COM
pany's fleet of tankers and barges and
transported to their refinery at Phila-
delphia, Pa.
LOUISIANA.
The only trunk line of any conse-
quence in Louisiana is that of the
Standard Oil Co., of Louisiana, which
extends from Ida, La, to the. refinery
at Baton Rouge, La, approximately 25O
miles in length with a loop of 1872
miles, which runs the oil from the
Caddo field, where the Standard have
large production, a line taps the
main line from the new DeSoto field
at Oxford, La. The Gulf and Texas
Companies have extensions from their
Caddo-Port Arthur lines, which is pri-
marily the cause of the steady mar
ket which has remained at S1.O5 per
barrel, the present prevailing price for
oil of 3S degrees and above.

Shell combine known as the Roxana

There is another line in Pennsylva,

West Virginia to Titusville Pa, and
from Titusville to Bumbokook on the
Delaware River which is south of
Philadelphia.
In western Pennsylvania it is known
as the Producers and Refners Pipe
Line, in the eastern section or part
of the state as the United Pipe Line
Company which is from Titusville to
the Delaware river. There is yet an
other system operating in the western
and southwestern fields known as the
Southwestern Pennsylvania Pipe Line
Company. which acts as a feeder for
the main trunk lines of the National
Transit Company. The mileage and
station names are not available at this
writing. The total length of pipe lines
running Pennsylvania crude, is esti-
mated at $4,000 miles, which includes
all trunk lines, loopings and gather
ing lines, including those as low as 2
nches in diameter. Many times the

came necessary to construct addition
al pipe lines to care for the increas-
ing production, which resulted in the
construction of two eight-inch lines to
the Gulf of Mexico, one by the Gulf
Oil Corporation, and he other by the
Texas Company, both having a term
mus at Port Arthur Texas. The fol
lowing tables show the stations and
mileage:

To the above have been added the
following stations:
McAlester, Antlers, Ten Mile, Strik-
er, Saltillo, Chester, Amelia, Lucas ad
El Vista. With these additional sta
tions and the construction of loops
the capacity of the main trunk line
has been increased from $4,000 to 90
600 per day. The same company also
have what is termed "the South Texas
Gathering SYSTEM" which is composed
mostly of siX-inch lines extending into
the Saratoga, Batson, Sour Lake and
Beaumont fields, with line to Hous-
ton, Texas. Owing to the fact that
practically all the oil produced in
South Texas and South louisiana is
of low grade or low gravity, it must
be handled separately from the high
gravity oils of Oklahoma and north
ern Louisiana. There a branch of six
inch pipe about 100 miles in length

the Caddo-Lufkin six inch. Another
