Watch Pipe Line. For Liquor.

Muskogee, Okla. April 13.-Instruc-
tions that all abandoned pipe lines
should be sounded whenever such
lines were encountered suspiciously
crossing over into the old Indian ter
ritory part of Oklahoma, were issued
by United States Marshal B. A. En-
loe, Jr, This does not mean that the
United States is to interfere with the
legal piping of oil and gas, but it does
mean that whenever such lines have
been laid from points within to points
without the district, and later aban-
doned, that they will make most eX-
cellent channels by which to convey
liquor into Indian country in viola
tion of the law. Thus the order. In
the northern part of the eastern dis
trict, near the Kansas line, a number
of small gas fields were opened in the
early days of the industry in OlllahO--
ma. The output was piped from Okla
homa TO supply the various smalh
border towns and cities with fuel and
light Later these lines were aban-
doned, and at half dozen points
along the north lines of the district,
these three and four-mile pipe lines
are still on or under the ground. The
presence of a number of these lines
was called to Mr.. Enloe's attention
during a conference between Mr.. En-
loe and representatives of the United
States district attorneys office, at
which the wiles of the bootlegger
were discussed freely. These lines
are about the only loopholes the boot
logger has left said one official.
Then watch 'em" said Mr.. Enloe
"If you run across one leading in ov-
er the boundary, get down and take
a look at the joints of the pipe; if
you find anything suspicious, take an
AK or something and go into them

That there is money to be made in
Cif investments, and that Ardmore is
extremely fortunate in uncoyering
such a pool as has been found at
Healdton. is demonstrated by one
company of a dozen men, who made
an initial investment of $175 each.
That is a small sum of money and
almost any person could raise that
amount but there are not so many
who could raise a sum sufficient to
buy what the $17j bought. Any one
Of this company can today sell his
holdings for 10000 This amount
OF money is a very pretty little for
tune, it puts ond above the bread
line, it gives him permanent income
for life His summers can be spent
IN the mountains Of Colorado, and his
winters in California, if he should de-
sire to invest II in ArdmOre real es-
tate and live from the rentals. Prof
its like these make oil investments
very desirable. For the returns made
they are the safest Investments N
the world. Profits like these will r.
suit in building many pretty homes
in Ardmore. They will put a vast
deal of money in circulation in the
town. It is no wonder that the pro
duccrs are making stubborn fight
20 protect their investments and to
see that their profits come to them
and not go to others The majority
of the acreage in the field is held by
Ardmore people.
