the invasion in their usual charming

The general stagnation of petrol
cum markets, partly resulting from
the European war and partly from
an overproductIon, is distinctly
shown in the shipments of crude
from Mexican ports during the month
of August these shipments dwindled
ket, already stagnant, was quick to
feel the catastrophe abroad In
July crude shipments from primary
Mexican ports of clearance, totalled
2,460,OOS barrels. During the month
of Angus these shipments dwindled
100 per cent, the actual figures being
1,16S.340 barrels, or an actual dimin-
ution of 1,29l6oS barrels. OF these
shipments, 71O,572 barrels went to
United States ports, and 44S,76S bar
rels to coastwise Mexican. This is
even greater decrease than occurred
in the oil exports from the United
States.-Oil City Derrick

thanks for the interest they have
taken in conserving one of the
states most valuable products from
the rapacious and unsatisfed de-
mands of pipe line companies to de-
stroy this valuable asset, and we
hereby agree to support said cor
poration commission and attorney
general to the fullest extent in the
enforcement of said order and for
the further conservation of the oil
products of the state.
'Resolved, further, that we recon-
mend that the corporation commits
sion ask for additional legislation
at the first session of our legisla-
ture, giving to said corporation COM
mission ample authority to regulate
the production of oil from the sands
in this state, to the end that a fair
price may be secured. for this pro-
duct before the same is exhausted.

Making Prices.

The corporation commission of Ok
lahoma is considering the promul-
cation of an order prohibiting pro-
ducers from selling their oil at less
than the price posted by the pur-
chasing agencies. Such an order was
practically uttered by the corporation
commission, but it was coupled with
an admission that the power to make
it binding was doubtful On this
point and on that of compelling the
closing down of wells in the Cush-
ing field by calling in the militia, as
well as several other drastic orders,
1t would appear as if the corporation
commission was trying to get away
with a bluff
The cotton situation is in much the
same condition as that of oil, except
that the government seems more
willing to assist the cotton grower
than the oil operator. Oklahoma
is a large producer of cotton. There
Is a possibility that the necessities
of the cotton raiser will compel him
to throw his crop on the market at
any old figure, and thus reduce the
prices. The corporation commission
should therefore prohibit any grower
of cotton from selling it for less
than the market price per pound.
Under the law cotton is as much
matter of public use, consequence
and necessity as oil If the one
comes under its provisions the other
certainly does. The corporation
commission should therefore Impair
TALLY distribute it's orders so as to
cover cotton as well as oil, and
there may be other commodities that
should be put in the list. Oil City

JAP WOMEN OFFER
TO DIVE AFTER MINES

Toxic, Oct. 10.-A hundred women
shell divers of Shima province Of
fered their services to the navy to
clear the mines from Kiau Chau bay.
The offer was declined by the navy,
as the law prohibits the employ
ment of women in warlike operations.
These divers are accustomed to re-
main in the water for a long period.
Their idea was that, unseen by the
enemy, they could dive for the
mines near Kiau Chau and remove
them to the Japanese warships.

in Carter county, Oklahoma, held on
this the 5th day of October, 1914
the following resolution was adopted:
Whereas, on October 1, 1914, the
corporation commission of Oklahoma
made an order forbidding producers
in the Healdton oil field from re-
moving oil from the sand which is
to be sold for less than 80 cents per
barrel and forbidding said producers
from selling storage oil for less
than soc per barrel in the field, and
Whereas, said corporation commits
sion also forbid the Magnolia Pipe
Line company from purchasing or re-
ceiving and transporting oil for
which it has paid or agreed to pay
less than soc per barrel, and,
Whereas, it is the opinion of
the independent oil producers at
this meeting, that said order is Just
and proper, and we heartily concur
in same and will assist the corpora
tion commission and the attorney
general of this state in the full and
complete enforcement Of this order.
Therefore, Be Il Resolved, by the
independent oil producers in mass
meeting this day assembled, that we
heartily and sincerely approve, and
will assist in enforcing said order,
and that We request all producers
to strictly obey same and report
any violation of said order to the
president of the Oil Producers as
sociation or to the corporation COM
mission.
Second: That the president of
the Oil Producers association be di-
rected, and he is hereby requested
to render all assistance necessary to
the corporation commission and the
attorney general in enforcing said
order and in reporting violations
thereof, with sufficient evidence to
convince said producer or pipe line
company of violating said order.
Resolved, further, that we ex-
tend to the corporation commission
and to the attorney general our

T.. A. Latimer, manager of the
Magnolia Pipe Line company, was
| here yesterday from Dallas on his
first trip to the Healdton fields since
last June. He suffered an attack of
diphtheria in the early summer and
had difficult time getting from
under the trouble. About eighty
persons had the same trouble in his
community in an epidemic that was
prevalent there. Mr. Latimer is
himself again, and is devoting his
time to the work of caring for the
IHealdton field. He has under his
supervision the building of the
storage oil tanks in Fort Worth.
Eleven of these big tanks have been
completed and ten more are to be
built. Mr. Latimer did not visit the
fields, but spent the day here with
c. r. Stewart, the pipe line fore
man, and returned to Dallas yester-
day afternoon. He was in Okla

when the fair was In progress and
says he enjoyed very much the
sights at the state fair and especial

him.

All the work done so far by the
guagers under the new system, will
not be counted because only "a
hour tests were made. In some OF
the tests the production was re-
duced fifty per cent. and it is be-
lieved that when the guage is fin
ished the production of the field will
not be more than $4,000 barrels. The
same manner of guaging that has pre-
vailed here also prevails in Cush-
ing, and the producers are of the
opinion that the guages in the two
fields have been boost for oil
production at time when boosting
was destrimental to prices. The
guagcrs will begin at once to make
thorough test of the field and
they request every producer to have
his lease ready for the guage when
they are called on.
