DEFENDER Of

TIES OF GROWTH.

St Louis, Mo-, Sept 22.-The OPP
ponents of waterways improvements
the adverse report of Lieutenant Col
onel Herbert Deakyne, on the pro-
posed Improvement sof the Missouri
river and the persons who cry pork"
at ever mention of river improve
ments in the middle west were de-
nounced by Speaker Champ Clark
of the national house of representa-
tives in an address before the Busi
ness Mems League here today.
He called attention to the very
small gain in population throughout
the middle west in recent years and
advocated the re-establishment Of
cheap water transportation as the
principal remedy for the existing dis.
parity of growth between the Miss is
sippi valley and the seaboard gulf and
lake states"
Referring to the advantages which
might be derived from the building
of the Panama canal and the m
provement of the Mississippi river
and its tributaries, he said:
The people of this city, this state,
this valley, nave a golren opportunity
to grow in wealth and population
which will never come again.
Traffic on the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, must be revived soon or never.
The congressional delegation from
the Mississippi valley can not succeed
indefinitely in securing appropriations
unless there is a speedy and import
ant increase in steamboating.
1t is evident that the propaganda
against river improvements is well
financed, and whoever are behind ii
must believe that improved rivers
would injure their interests, otherwise
they would not put up the money for
such an expensive propaganda.
Former Senator Burton of Ohio
appears to be running for president on
his opposition to river improvements.
At any rate his friends are flooding
the country with literature to that eff

Oilton, Okla Sept. 22.-The efforts
of the oil companies to secure addi-
tional production and of the purchas-
ers of crude to secure an additional
supply, are still on in earnest, and no
matter how small a production a man
or company may have he can sell it
quickly and get a premium. Prem
iums of five and ten cents a barrel
are being freely offered. Several o.
the independent companies that are
holding oil have recently refused a
ten-cent premium and have turned
down contracts for their daily produc-
ton at that figure. One sale of 81 -
cents a barrel is recorded, while as
high as S1.25 a barrel for stored oil,
including the tank, has been offered
This is really dollar oil, the buyer
thus making the gamble that the
price will so beyond that figure.

BurroW Makes Report.

l.. w. Burrow, who left here early
in the month for Tampico, MeXIoo
where he will continue to represent
the Texas company, arrived there on
the 18th of this month. A letter to
his family here states that he is
agreeably surprised with his new sur
roundings. Tampico is a city of 25,-
0O0 people, it does not seem to be
materially affected by the war except
that the money of the republic is
greatly deprecated. One dollar in Am
lean money there is worth $15 in
Mexican money. The day upon which

TODAY'S OIL MEETING
If Commission Raises Price, Gaines
Vile Contracts Will Be in Jeopardy.

A meeting is in progress this after
noon at the court house for the pur
pose of raising funds to prosecute
suit before the corporation commits
sion to have a minimum price set
on Healdton crude. A committee has
been appointed to carry out the plans
of the local producers to make every
effort to obtain a better price for oil.
1t is rather difficult to determine
just what can be done. The produc-
ers who were instrumental in having
the oil conservation act passed, Civ
ing the commission right to fix the
value of oil, violated their own law
by making a contract to sell for two
years at 30c. What view the com
mission will take of the matter is
not known. Judge Henshaw has sta
ted to the producers that he will rem
der them any aid that he can under
the law, but he did not state in his
opinion the commission has the right
to control the price.
1t is stated that some OF the pro
ducers hope to get the price raised
for the reason that the price set by
the commission will apply to the
Gainesville pipe line and will destroy
the contracts made to sell cheap oil
for two years or longer.
The committee has gathered some
Information concerning refinery tests
that are favorable TO the field, and
will be able to make a good show
ing for Healdton crude when the case
is tried before the commission.
1t is the opinion of many producers
that if the commission fixes a price
higher than the oil is bringing now
that the Magnolia Pipe Line company
will not appeal to the supreme court,
but will probably offer a compromise
and if the compromise is not accepted
that. the company will cease to be
a common purchaser but will exer
else the rights only of common
carrier.

DR.. SAMPSON NOT FOUND.
Government Agents, Friends and
Family Continue Search.

Denver, Colo, Sept. 22.-The search
for the Rev. Thornton r. Sampson OF
Austin, Texas, lost since Sept. in
the mountain region about Estes park,
continues, but no trace of the missing
clergyman can be found. All hope
of finding rr. Sampson alive has been
given up, but government forestry ser
vice men, DR.. SIMPSONS family, the
Rotary club Of Denver, and many
friends are still searching every gorge
and mountain slope for his body.
Much of the mountain area where it
is possible that the missing man
might be found is already covered
with snow, and it now seems likely
that the body will not be found until
after the SHOWS melt next spring.
