The Shawnee News Herald pub
lishes a local item which states that
a party of surveyors, locating a pipe
line from Cushing to Bowie, Tex
for the Magnolia company, has made
headquarters in that city for the
past week, and says they went from
there to Meeker.
1t is most likely that these sur
veyors are employed by the Magnolia
pipe Line company, which is running
line of survey from Addington to
Cushing AddingtOn is the terminus
in Oklahoma of the Magnolia's eight
inch line, and when the line was
first projected in Oklahoma it was
intended to build to Gushing. That
was before the Healdton field was
discovered and that fact accounts
for the early building of the branch
siX-inch line into the Healdton field
From the course taken by the sur
veyors it seems that the original
survey by way OF Oklahoma city
has been abandoned The line was
Intended for Oklahoma City when the
company planned to build its big re-
iinery there but the change of the
refinery plans also changed the pipe
line plans, The new survey is a
nearer route, and the new survey
will pass near the Paden field and in
case a pool of oil exists there, it will
have immediate pipe line connection.
1t is reported that three of these
crws of surveyors are in the field, but
the Magnolia company has so far
made no announcement to the press
of its plans so far as we have seen.

AMERICA 8 BIC
GUN NOT YET
SURPASSED
AND is CONSIDERED BY EXPERTS
TO BE BETTER THAN GER.
MANY'S BEST, BUT GERMAN
GUN HAS GREATER SPEED.

Washington, Jan l6.-Lack OF pre-
else ballistic data concerning the new
German 16-inch gun which has caus-
ed so muyl discussion in England,
does not, according to naval experts
here Tuesday, permit of a close
comparison between it and the new
American naval gun of the same cali
Der now under test at Indian Head,
Maryland
1t appears, however, they think
that whereas the German projectile
with velocity of 3,040 feet per
second has a slight advantage over
the American 16-inch shell in speed,
the latter weighing 2,150 pounds, is
more than 100 pounds heavier than
the German shot and consequently
will have a greater striking energy
and more penetrating power in steel
armor.
This factor Of penetration, after all,
according to leading American naval
experts, is the prime project instead
of range. as is generally supposed.
Any one of the larger calibers of the
American naval guns now will hurl
its projectiles across the sea beyond
the range of human vision and moth
ing of value can be accomplished by
shooting farther than they do
On the other hand, there is grave
objection to sacrificing the defensive
power and speed of a war vessel to
unnecessarily large guns. The maxim
of the navy department, as set ont
by distinguished expert, is to equip
the American battleships with the
smallest and lightest gun that will
penetrate at ranges within vision,
the heaviest armor that can be car
ried on an enemy's ships.
1t is believed that this object has
been realized in the new naval four
teen inch gun which is being placed
on the largest dreadnaughts. The
sixteen inch gun now at Indian Head
was designed and constructed by the
naval ordnance bureau with the sole
purpose of having ready a larger and
more powerful weapon than the four
teeninch gun in case it should be
demanded by naval developments. 1t
is said that so far, no such need has
appeared as the result of the naval
battles of the present European war.

Some Changes Expected.

The correspondent Of the Dallas
News in Oklahoma city seems to be
Of the opinion that the new oil bill,
as presented for passage, will under
so some changes in the legislature.
In his report sent out Saturday night,
and which appeared in the News on
Sunday, the correspondent says:
Exhaustive hearings by joint COM
mittees of the house and senate on
the bill providing for conservation
of oil have been held nightly for
several days These hearings will
probably close Monday, and the bill
will take its course in the committee
Several diverse views have been Civ
en- to the committee, and it is evi-
dent that the bill is not perfect and
that if II should be made into a law
as il is written, the courts would be
called upon TO determine its consti-
utionality The committee is very
likely to make changes in the meas
ure that was presented to them by
the producers"

THE STRAWN FIELD.
One Company Controls $1,000 Acres
II. L. Sturm Takes Contract.

Strawn, Tex, Jan. 26-Much in
terest is being manifested in the oil
well which has been brought in here
at a depth of $50 feet 1t made
something like 10000 cubic feet of
gas and made several pretty flows.
The production is estimated at from
Co to Is barrels. The oil has a fine
color. Leases are not high but they
are difficult to get, for the reason
that the Texas & Pacific Coal COM
pany, who drilled the well, own in
fee and have leases covering $1,000
acres. The company drilled 26 wells
and the 27th well reached the oil
sand These wells are south of the
discovery we'll from onefourth to
two and a half miles, and about one
half of them are small gas wells.
Three or four of these wells were

In the river beds and on other public
lands Of Oklahoma The report will
probably be made the basis for i'm
proved system OF accounting in the
school land department with refer
ence TO the oil and gas business OF
the state
The report shows that the state
has sold a total of l.62S.39iOS9 cubic
feet OF gas. from which a net reye-
nue. OF s6,179 l3 has been derived.
The net income from sand and gravel
since the state took charge of this
resource last spring his been 1896 so.
There are several operators in the
river Led who are arranging to pay
their royalties on this product now,
however, and one OF them will this
week settle for arrears of more than
this sum. The total receipts on oil
gas, sand and gravel from the state
lands for the period covered in the
report has been s159,96674 The to-
tai expense has been 1,60S..42

Mr.. Lufkin. whb is now president Of

OPPOSITION TO POOL HALL BILL
Action of House in Excluding Them
From State is Opposed

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 25.-Pas-
sage by the house of representative
of the bill that prohibits any pool hall
from operating in the state of Okla
homa has aroused a great furore. Ma
nufacturers of pool hall equipment,
hotel and billiard parlor owners and
others are clamoring for the senate to
change the onerous conditions that the
house has imposed. The original bill
was to prohibit pool halls in places
other than incorporated cities and
towns. An amendment that was made
the subject of impassioned oratory
changed the bill to cover the whole
state
The popularity of the bill as amend
ed, has aroused people who do not
want pool halls abolished into consid-
cradle activity to defeat the measure.
The arguments that led the house to
pass the bill are plain to the person
who observes the character of persons
who frequent the average pool hall
in the average small town. 1t is also
urged that the pool hall is very often
used as blind in Oklahoma for the
barroom that is screened by the pool
tables in front. The senate will be be-
sieged by persons who do not want the
law to pass.
