~ When we put forth our first Open Letter we mad
no idea that such great numbers would accept our
invitation to write and tell what they thougnt
about the oil and gas business The ink was scarcely
dry before hundreds of letters and postal caras
commenced pouring in and they are still coming 10
anavze and classify these letters that TINS answer
could be prepared with care, welcome task
i Above all else these letters proved that the
z,eone of West Virginia have in high degree that
american characteristic, sturdy love OF fa1r pay'
however willing they may be to argue question.
About fifty per cent of those who wrote wanted
to see the oil and gas companies keep on developing
47e resources Of the state in fair and just manner
lion by the state
. About thirty per cent disagreed with one OF
other of the points in the Open Letter. but We're lar
minded enough to acknowledge the benefits that nave
accrued to the state from the production OF oil ana
gas. ~ 49,
About fifteen per cent disagreed fatty with our
views or said they lacked information or declareo
saev were not interested because they were OUTSIDE
the gas belt.
The remaining five per cent offered oil and gas
territory or supplies, asked for work, wantea TO
5-ooxv what the Open Letter meant, had complaint
ar their service or asserted that gas rates are h1gh
enough or too high, without other comment scant
aalf-score were abusive.
All communications were replied to except a lew
E,ce were unsigned, signatures blotted, or post
office address omitted that if you wrote and have
7zok peen answered, it must be for one OF these
reasons.
Many asked questions, the principal ones being

Answers to Principal Questions
49, Asked in The Letters

o-You have shown us-the people OF west
7rOiSia-that hundreds of millions of dollars have
seer distributed among by the oil and gas people
seaTding and various other items that taxes paid
~ oil and gas interests now amount to enough 20

Industrial development towns and cities and
ny other advantages which we have as o state o
and gas Now give us the figures on the other side
of the ledger:SWHAT HAVE YOU MADE OUT
OF THE BUSINESS?
A-since the organization of our company, our
stockholders have received little less than 4 per
cent annual dividends or interest the money which
they have invested This is less than the legal rate
were invested in mortgages. They have of their
capital paid back and have sg fund o on6 os
the revenues viii Justify it, to establish sinking
fund to reimburse our stockholders for the money
advanced, which you will admit is nq more than fair
to them. ,ze> -..ax..A..11zN 49,

SERVING THE RESOURCES NHIcz ARE 5sS2ss
BEING FAST DEPLETED WITH0JT sUBs An
TLAL BENEFIT TO TIE State -su IS
As already has been shown (vynicn re o51es-
ton rnanifestly disregards) the state has Feeeee
and is receiving enormously substantial benefits Ic
returns possibly greater than the oil and gas PeS
West Virginia not only has the unrestr1cLe0 use
of this most convenient fuel and light product a. an
average rate considerably lower than her ne1gDCts
but in addition the lions share OF the money
from the sale of her gas Ohio and Pennsyf7a
comes back to her through expenditure n the sesl
for production and purchase Of more gas
If the state wants to commit 1tselt 20 the Po4lS5
of restricting the production is it ready to pay ne
land his lease rentals wI1lle the gas Is SS1-
held for the benefit of future generations
If the state is not ready commit itself to tn1S
policy by putting up the money Tor the penent o. al
It's people what just right would it have to ASK me
gas company tie up its money IN the pursl11o O
this poliky?
In either case wouldn't it be rather hard or tee
landowner who might be up against it financially
because he couldn't lease his land or derive any
money from that now, even though It zzaghs
benefit his posterity?
OF course all waste should be stopped. Economy!
in use is a cardinal point of conservation.

UPTON CHAGRINED AT DELAY.
Returns From Travels to Find Work on Shamrock Behind Schedule.

London, April 21.-Sir Thomas Upton, who returned yesterday from Ceylon and the Riviera, declares that Shamrock ". looks every bit what she is intended to be. typical cup challenger. Sir Thomas paid visit to Camper & Nicholson's yard at Gosport on Saturday and was met there by William P. Burton, who is to have charge of the challenger
 The yacht as she stands was ex- amined very carefully, as was also the mast which is to be used on the yacht. There has been much delay in building the yacht owing to ina bil- ity to get some aluminium alloy which is used in the construction. Sir Thomas is somewhat worried about this and said yesterday that the launching could not be before the middle of May. He had hoped that the yacht would have been ready for launching on his return and that by the first of next month she would be sailing. The delay is serious one and it means that the tuning up of the challenger on this side will have to be hurried and shortened
 The Shamrock ". will have about six weeks of sailing in home waters and in July will be dismantled for the that she can reach Sandy Hook by early in August and have three weeks of sailing there before the cup races.

 NacA's $l0o,0o0 |afad.

A break in Connie Macks $100,OoO infield is not improbable this season, according to members of the world s champion Athletics.
 It appears that Shortstop Jack Bar ry has for some time been troubled with lame knee that sooner or lat CT will bring about his retirement. Mack. realizing that Barry's com pulsory withdrawal means d gaping hole in his stonewall infield has been securing the country for an able .un- derstudy, with the result that he has found a likely youngster bearing the name of "Bill'' Kopf, of New Britain
 Tn one of last weeks games played in chill windy mist, Barry's knee felt so lame at the end of five in- nings that Kopf was assigned to the veterans position. Ira Thomas, who has charge of the world beaters in the absence of the mighty Mack; Ed die Collins, Frank Baker and the others who helped to smother the Giants last fall, nodded approvingly when Kopf was introduced
 A steaming grounder rattled down to .'Bill.'' He made a beautiful pick up and with a line throw he nipped Fischer at first base. Later he de- ger when at top speed he gathered in a difficult fly close to the left field foul line.
 Then, too, Kopf showed great speed on the bases. He laid down a

Kansas City, April 21.-Indianapo- lis fell on George Hogan in the sec ond inning for a triple and three singles, which, coupled with a walk, batter hit and an error, gave the Hoosiers six runs and enabled them to defeat the Kansas City Feds by '. to 2. The triple was by Campbell and came with the bases filled. A peculiar feature of that round was the fact that Hogan retired three men on strikes.

CRIMSON BEATS COLUMBIA.

New York, April 21.-Harvard waded through the mud on South Field and the Columbia soccer team yesterday afternoon into first place in the race of the intercollegiate soccer league. The Crimson eleven won by score of l to 0, Captain Franke booting the heavy laden sphere into the net for the lone tally early in the second half on a lucky shot from scrimmage.

scooted to second on wild pitch, and then made a daring steal of third, sliding away from Smiths ex- tended ball-containing hand. Kopf has been playing this way ever since he joined the Athletics in the south.
 Mack says Kopf is a jewel for the reason that he can fill for Collins or Baker in case of accident. But the New Britain boy is cut for Barry's place, and the champions say that he will be Jacks successor to a dead moral certainty. So Mack is prepar- ing for the inevitable.
