To Bar slx.shootcr Advertising.

OlLTON, Okla, March 6.--That the
leading magazines, newspapers and
other publications Of the country will
some day bar the siN-shooter adVer-
ttsement from their columns i'm the
same manner that they now bar
whisky ads and that when they do
this it will cut down the crime wave
to a wonderful extent, is the opinion
of Harvey c. Olds of Tulsa, veteran
newspaper correspondent and former
deputy United States marshal 1t was
Olds, in fact, who started the cam
paign that put the negro out of poll
tics in oklahoma
The sX-shOOter habit kills far
more men than does whisky" de-
clared Olds, who has been visiting this
section of the state. "When the
reputable magazine learns this truth
they will forever bar the gun ads.
Now, you can run through the maya
zines and on almost every page you
will look down a gun barrel with
reading matter that explains how
quickly and how deadly it will do busi-
ness. This sort Of advertising Of
course Increases the gun habit rapidly.
The time will come when ads. of this
kind will be summed"
Olds is in favor Of a law that will
make gun totng a felony. He was a
deputy sheriff and deputy marshal in
Guthrie during the early COS The
deputy marshals Of the state prepared
such bill and secured many petitions
asking the present legislature to enact
it, but evidently it became lost in the
shuttle.

ore brought SIS two weeks ago, and
two cents higher at New York.
Spelter quotations were unchanged
at St. Louis yesterday, so far as the
top Of $1O.5O registered on Thursday
was concerned, but another jump up
ward was taken at New York, where
the quotation was recorded at 5000
TO $11.40.
What attitude ore producers Of the
Oklahoma districts will take relative
to the S73 price Is not certainly
known, but Il is expected that there
will be much individual holding. Most
of the operators are convinced that
this districts ores are badly needed
bv the trade and believe that higher
prices will be forthcoming II there
is a determined effort to obtain them
by holding.
ON Monday the sheet zinc manufac-
turers advanced their prices to Sl3
base. indicating that they are follow
ing the spelter price advance even III
the ore buyers are not.
There is no advance. in the price OF
lead, although the pig lead market
Is gradually growing stronger. This
metal was quoted at f3.92 at st. Louis,
while 1t has gone to 1898 at New
York.
Production of both lead and zinc
will be decidedly curtailed In the Ok
lahoma district this week. owing TO
the inclement weather which has
caused most all the mines to be
flooded.

year The total for all districts out
side OF Gushing In January, 1914, was
5,2l5,6 62G barrels, In December the
same districts with the extensions
added during the year are credited
with 3,720,0O0 barrels, a decrease OF
1,i95,62G barrels.
1t cannot be said that the produc-
tion in Oklahoma would have been so
reduced had Cushing not been dis
covered, The FLOOD OF oil from tuat
great field checked operations Clse-
where, owing to its forcing pric TO
q low point The oil fields undoubtedly
would have maintained a higher aver
age during the year had Cushing not
been found and would have even
increased the output OF the state over
that Of 1913. The United States geo
logical report puts the production OF
Oklahoma i'm 1913 at G3,5 9,3S4 bar
rols. This would be an average Of
1880 barrels daily The increase
in the total for 1914 is Therefore 39,-
317,44 barrels and Of lO7,719 barrels
in the daily ayerage. II Is probable
that Oklahoma viii take first place
among the states in the amount Of Pc
trolCum produced in 1915, and Cali
fornia will rank as second oil city

Pure Water for a Few Tulsans.
1t Is Political Favoritism?

SIG days have elapsed since the day
on which the city administration
promised that II would furnish an
ample supply OF good water TO Tul-

II Is true that a part Of the citizens
have long had good water and some
may be led to believe that IT is po-
litical fayoritism, but II Is not so, ;hat
these few fortunate ones are SO
blessed. but 1t is due 10 their good
judgment in having the WATT

Oklahoma,s Production.

A careful compilation by the Der
rick Oil reporters, places the petro-
leum production in Oklahoma for 1914
at 1872. .S96,s27 barrels. The figures are
tabulated by months and districts for
easy reference, and as a means to OBJ
tain accuracy. The total shows a daily
average OF 2S1 ,909 barrels. The largest
single months production was i'm De-
cember, which amounted to 10,4S5,-
$50 barrels. July and August were
also months Of large output, as each
are credited with over 10, 600, goo bar
rels. The effect OF the war in check
ing commerce was noticeable in Sep
tember, when the number of barrels
was reduced by 100000. February
showed the smallest total production,
the amount being 5,537.616 barrels.
Cushing naturally led all other dis
tricts and is credited with 47,222,250
barrels for the year, or 46 per cent of
the total. The increase at Gushing is
graphically illustrated by reference to
the amount credited to IL by months.
In January. within a month after the
first Bartlesville sand well was strtcK,
the output OF Gushing was 500, $50
barrels, or nearly 10000 barrels day
In FEBRUARY the production had prac-
tically doubled and II again doubled
up in March. There was little change
in April. but May and June had twice
as much as in the two former months,
and in December the daily average
was IL times greater than in January.
Comparing the production of other
districts In January and December,
shows that each one had a smaller
output in the closing month Of the

Mead S. Johnson, head of the School
of Mines at Commerce reports grow
ing interest in the work at that place.
The attendance was on the Increase
until the price of ore began to raise,
then the working of night shifts some
what lowered the average attendance.
but is still encouraging. The interest
here seems to come from the study Of
chemistry and first aid to the in
jured." a practical test of such in
struction. The school of mines extern
sion work is getting to a substantial
basis in this district, because of ia
vorable action by the legislature. The
bill appropriating $4,000 for mainte-
nance, additional instructors, school
equipment and extensions, has been
agreed and bids fair to become a law.
This will place the school on per
manent working basis and insure its
future. The outlook Is most encourag-
ing at this time. and interest Is
awakened. This accounts for the in
creased attendance and renewed ac-
tivity.

MINING NEWS
Sbinments Not So Heavy.
G. l.. SMALLEY.

During the last week the mine own
ers of the state noted a Slight drop
in the price of ore, but even with this
the demand is still strong enough TO
encourage great activity and the north
Oklahoma mines are running both
day and night shifts. Prospecting
was never more vigorous than it is
at the present time. A small deprecia-
ton in current prices resulted in a
light turning last week, but that does
not mean diminished output The
ore is in the bins waiting for higher
prices. Spelter was on the advance,
but crude ore suffered a little from
the battering process of buyers. Lead
remained stationary at $47 per ton.

In the Oil Fields
ORDER or TEXAS PIPE LINE
WILL FORCE PRODUCERS TO
PAY ONE-SiAIH ROYALTY
Texas and Prairie No Doubt VIII Fol
low Same Policy, and Get From
Under.

The way the Texas pipe line in
terprets the recent order of Secre-
tary Lane to settle with the Indians
for oil royalty on a basis Of SO cents
a barrel. means that the producer VIII
be receiving about 33 cents for his
OIL instead Of 40 cents, the posted
price.
The Texas Pipe Line company has
sent the following letter to owners OF
departmental leases from which that
company is purchasing oil:
Dear slr--The secretary of the in
terror has demanded payment for
royalty oil from departmental leases
at a price different rrOm the market
price paid by this company. 1t VIII
therefore, be necessary Tor you TO file
a division order providing for the pay
ment to you OF 100 per cent Of the
OIL produced by you from depart
mental leases. You can tnen settle
with the Indian superintendent for the
royalty oil. Please execute the en-
closed division order and forward TO
the indian superintendent for ap-
proval. instructlng MIN to send same
when approved to US. Please give
this matter immediate attention, as
we expect it to cover March runs.

Take a piece Of paper and a pencil
and figure that out, and 1t Will show
that the operators Will be paying one
sixth loyalty instead Of one-eighth,
according to the terms Of the lease.
1t was announced when the order
was issued that the Prairie company
would contest the payment of the
royalty on a basis OF 90 cents Just
what method tnat company wilt adopt
we are not prepared to say.
The Gull company has not so far
notified the producers OF their inten-
ton, but 1t is presumed they will take
similar action tC the Texas, or at least
notify the producers of their intention
to do so within Il given period or not
pay the royalty at all until the matter
finally is settled.
The order sent out by Gabe Parker
February 26 follows.
This office is directed by the secrc-
tary Of the interior, under date of Feb
ruary "a. 1915, to require les sees to

A report made by the Midwest Re-
filming company OF Wyoming, says
There are so commercial wells I'm

bbls. Of crude oil ever "a hours. The
total daily production on December 1
last was 1900 bbls.. of which 10000

the field has been in operation until

Cheaper Gasoline.

For years the enterprising men back
of the automobile industry have been
searching for something that would
decrease the cost of operating internal
combustion engines II appeared TO
them that the improvements which
had been made in the process of re-
filming crude oil had left little hope for
further reduction in the cost of pro-
ducing gasoline, which from being a
mere by-product of the refineries had
leaped into first Importance as a com
mercial necessity. Hundreds of ex-
pert chemists had devoted themselves
to the task of originating different
methods that would reduce the cost
of producing gasoline; but while much
progress was made, the cost was still
left very high. In spirit of disc our
asement the men interested in the au-
tomobile industry then turned their
attention OF finding a substitute for
gasoline which would perform the
same functions but cost less. A prize
of 100000 was offered to anyone
who would discover such a substitute.
This prize has never been claimed,
says the Kansas City Journal
BY authority of the department of
the interior, startling announcement
has just been made. II is said that
DIR. Walter F. Rittman, chemical en-
found a process by which refiners OF
oil may increase their output of gaso-
line 200 per cent. BY the same au-
thority and credited to the same
chemist another announcement of al
most equal Importance is also made.
il is the discovery OF process where
by toluol and benZol. bases for dyes
and high explosives. can be produced
from crude oil. II this is successful
II will revolutionize the dye and high
explosive Industries. The general pub
lie. however, will be more directly in
terested In the promise of cheaper
gasoline. which, of course, will follow
an augmented production.
The present tendency in the auto
mobile business Is to decrease the cost
OF these vehicles. and great change
has been made. A few years ago there
we're few cars that could be bought
or round $1,000 upon which de-
sndence could be placed. Today the
ousand-dollar car is common. But
q cost Of operating cars has not de-
ased with the original investment
fact has kept thousands of people
n buying automobiles who might
rd to pay for the machine. but
could not conveniently pay for
continued operation. Should
Der substitute be found for fuel,

Joseph, Mo-, by the company which
had the franchise for the city. Some
time ago the city brought suit TO oust
the company on the ground that it had
violated its franchise by substituting
natural for artificial gas, claiming that
the word gas in the franchise meant

claimed that the word covered anv
gas and the courts have now upheld
this point and confirmed the company
in possession of its rights by contract.
