OIL and GAS NEWS

doubling the line from Addington
southwark, | beg to call your atten-
tion to the well known fact that the
Magnolia Pipe Line company now op-
crates line into Fort Worth that has
heretofore been used exclusively in
handling Healdton crude. This line
passes through Alyord, point about
forty-two miles north of Fort Worth,
and the main line of the Magnolia
Petroleum company also runs through
Alvord to and through Fort Worth
paralleling the line operated by the
Magnolia Pipe Line company between
those points. So. it would only be
necessary to construct an additional
line from Alvord to Addington to
have double line between Fort
Worth and Addington.
CAS- | understand it. an additional
line will be built between Alyord
and Addington to handle the Cush-
ing crude If the demands for the use
of the present line from Addington
into Fort Worth require the service
of the present line for transportation
of the Healdton oil, so that it may, If
the demands require it, be devoted
entirely. or to the extent necessary
for the service of the Healdton crude.
THE Pipe Line company is anX-
ious to hold itself in position when
better and more favorable conditions
arise, to carry on its trade with the
Healdton field as far as business
conditions will Justify same,

WHAT TO BECOME OF
MANNSVilLE OIL FIELD

One of the most encouraging pros
pects for an oil field and of the high
est gravity in the state is to be found
in the neighborhood of Mannsyille,
Okla. in Johnston and Marshall
county. About one year ago, when
the oil boom was at its best in some
of our proven fields, there was a
company organized to put down a
test well near Mannsville. This move
started quite bit of excitement
among small spectators and pracu-
callv all the available land in that
locality was taken up in five-year
commercial leases. These leases
were peddled to small investors in
from ten acres up.
The first well, for some reason, was
shut down just about the time the
showing of oil was found. As the old
story goes. the report got out that it
was q game of freeze-out. and all
familiar with the oil game under
stand what this means.
Later on. another company was
started, something on the order OF
the first. and after drilling to what
was reported to be about 700 feet,
they decided their machine was not
large enough to go as deep as they
would have to go to strike the main
pool. and abandoned both the wei
| and machine for the time being, anc
purchased a larger machine, and are
still at work. In the meantime there
! have been two other companies or
sanized and have drilled from abou
! 400 TO 100 feet, and for some cause
they also ceased drilling, The 400
foot well has been passed on as beinI
an excellent prospect, aud the 100
foot well has oil without doubt, bu
some financial differences arose, an,
they have abandoned temporarily.
Now comes the problem to solve
There are several parties holdin
acreage near these wells, waiting 10
the other fellow to develop the felt
The wells partly finished have nc
sufficient acreage to warrant the lar
ger companies to make test, and tn
small lease holders won't give up pal
of their acreage, neither have the
agreed to take a small amount

Dallas, Tex, rep. !, i'lo'
"The Ardmoreie:
Replying to your inquiry OF Janu-
ary 30, beg to advise you that the
substance OF the transaction. and the
plans of the Magnolia Pipe Line
company concerning which you in
auire. so far as developed are as fol-
lows:
"Practically the only market for the
Healdton crude available to the
Magnolia Pipe Line company is the
Magnolia Petroleum company, ana
through it. the Pierce Fordyce Oil as
sociation. Prior to January l. the
Petroleum company had made very
considerable purchases OF Gushing
crude. but it was then still in posi-
ton to provide storage for and buy
considerable additional quantities OF
Healdton crude. Therefore, the Pipe
Line company made to the Healdton
producers the proposition that was
rejected by them about January l.
Notwithstanding the rejection, moth
ing was done to change the situation
for week or ten days following
January /, with the idea that the &C
ton might be reconsidered Later on
in January however, the Magnolia
Petroleum company bought an ad-
ditional large quantity of the Cushing
crude from the McMan Oil company
and still later on, ii made another
purchase which had the necessary re-
suit of narrowing the present marker
for Healdton crude of the Pipe Line
company.
In view of these large purchases
of Cushing crude, and the very great
expense that would result in delivery
bv rail. the McMan Oil company con
tracted with the Petroleum company
on January 2j, to build pipe line
TO Addington, and there deliver tC
the latter the oil sold, because OF tht
saving to each of the parties to the
contract
There large purchase contracts
place very heavy financial obliga-
tions on the Petroleum company. and
the residuum therefrom will 20 g
long ways towards supplying its fue
oil needs for some time. SO mucl
for the present market situation.

LAST BATTLE IN BRITAIN
Was the Victory Of the Duke of Cum
berland Over the Adherents Of
Charles Edward.

The last battle fought on the soil
of Great Britain took place in the mid
die of the eighteenth century. While
George II was engaged in the war Of
the Austrian succession Charles Ed
ward, who was called the young pre-
tender, a grandson of King James II
of England, landed in Scotland and
made two attempts to obtain the
throne of his ancestors. He was vic
torious in the battle of Prestonpans,
but the duke of Cumberland, son Of
George II, having been recalled from
the continent to take command Of the
kings forces, the pretender was en-
tirely defeated at Culloden Moor, a
plain in Scotland, four miles from in
verness. This was the last battle
fought on the island of Great Britain,
and took place April 16, 1746, and it
was also the last attempt on the part
of the Stuart family to recover the
throne of Great Britain. Charles Ed
ward Stuart escaped to France after
he had wandered ave months in the
Highlands. He died in Rome January
30, 1888. The duke Of Cumberland
gave no quarter. The wounded were
all slain, and the jails OF England
were filed with prisoners, many OF
whom were executed. Among the lat
ter were Lords Balmerino, Kilmar-
mock and Loyat. Lovat being the last
person who was beheaded In England,
