Start Soon.
RELIEF FOR CUSHING
White & Sinclair Line May
Be Revived; New Con
tract Yesterday.

TINE last "a hours have developed
l. more pipe lines for Oklahoma
than have ever been built before. and
there are rumors in the air that other
companies will soon officially an
nounce plans for other lines
Within the last two weeks an
Eouncement of pipe lines involve the
outlay Of perhaps S1O,OOO,OOO, which
VIII give employment to thousands of
working men.
The Oklahoma Pipe Line company,
through its president, Allen T. Towl,
officially announced late yesterday
evening that it would begin the first
Of next week to construct an eight
inch pipe line extending its present
line from Glenn Pool to Drumrlght,
a distance of 40 miles.
The rlght-of-way has been secured
in part and site for new pumping
station purchased, and the tubing has
been ordered.
Start Work Soon.
Work on the ditching will begin
the first of next week, and the pipe
line will he laid as fast as a gang of
men can be put on the job.
This is the third pipe line that has
been announced as certain for the
Gushing field within the last two
weeks.
The Prairie Pipe Line company will
construct a 12-inch line to connect
with Robinson, H., and the Mc-Man
Oil company will build an eight-inch
line connecting with the Magnolia
Pipe Line company at Addington.
The White & Sinclair proposed line
apparently has been finally aban-
doned, but there are those who claim
to be close to the inside workings of
this firm who contend that their line
will also be constructed in due time
With the three now about to be-
gin actual construction work-the
Prairie. the Mc-Man and the Okla
homa Pipe Line company-the trans
portatiOn capacity in the Cushing field
will be increased practically $4,000
barrels a day.
The capacity Of the three common
carriers at this time Is approximately
40. 900 barrels a day, and the capacity
Of other lines feeding reflneries is
approximately $4,000 barrels.
Magnolia to Extend.
The Magnolia will begin immedi-
ately constructing an extension OF It's
line from Alvord, Tex, to Fort Worth
Tex. distance of about twenty-five
miles, and as 1t will be ready to run
oil before the Mc-Man line is COM
pleted. the Healdton runs will in nc
way be interfered with.
There is an uncon1rmed rumor that
the Magnolia will also construct an
elght-inch line from Fort Worth to
Beaumont, doubling the present ca

MERCHANTS READY
To MEET LAWYERS
WILL HAVE TEAM READY AND
WANT TO PLAY FRIDAY =
STRONG BUNCH WILL STACK UP
AGAINST LEGAL LIGHTS

The lawyers have met their match.
The merchants are ready to take up
their challenge and play them a game
of baseball right away.
In fact the merchants can hardly
wait for the chance to meet the legal
guys. Manager Blalock of the court
house crew has received a challenge
from the mechants for a game on Fri
day next. John Mathis, of the Com
mercial City Bank, has agreed to line
up the merchants, and has hurled the
challenge back at Blalock, ct al. And
the challenge will be accepted. That
much is sure. The lawyers are anx-
ious to show off their ability as ball
players. Manager Mathis would not
announce his lineup this morning,
but limited that such stars as Rylan-
der, Pinkston, Hanesley and Ed An
drews would meet the lawyer bunch.
Manager John Wagnon, of the Muck
alees, will umpire the game. He has
already announced his list of fines.
Believing that the lawyers will be
prone to argue, he announces that ev-
cry bit c. oratorical harangue will cost
not less than ten cents, and that the
sky VII be the limit. Sheriff Fuller
has agreed to assist him in enforcing
his decisions.
The game will probably be played
Friday. 1t is to be a benefit affair
for the local ball club.
