Judge Humphreys will arrive here

conduct the gas hearing at the court
house soon after his arrival. The
producers here have arranged to have
persons here who are well acquaint-

who know something OF gas conserva-
ton to appear as witnesses. There
VIII be but very little TO be done
here. Producers say there is no
waste of gas at this time that can be
avoided. There are instances where
oil and gas come from the well to-
gether, and if the oil is taken out
there must be 4 waste of gas. There
are said to be as many as two wells
of this kind in the field. but aside
from this, there is TO waste. The
commissioners desire to arrive at the
best method of gas conservation, and
when it comes TO a conclusion. it will
issue orders which the conservation
officers in the fields will see are car

ROADS CLAIM
DURANT DEPOT
ORDER UNJUST
KATY AND FRISCO APPEAL FROM
COMMISSIONS ORDER PETl-

TIES ADEQUATE.

Oklahoma City, Okla, June IS
What seemed to be the end of the
Durant union depot controversy in
! the order Of the corporation commits
sion last week for construction of a
building to cost approximately $34,O ,OOC
now promises to be but the beginning
of more contention in the courts. The
st. Louis & San Francisco and the
Missouri, Kansas x Texas Railroads
have filed with the corporation com
mission a petition for re-hearing, which
is taken to be the predicate for appeal
to the supreme court The order of
the commission was that plans be sub
mitted according to the outline of the
order by July 10, and that the build
ing be constructed by January /, 1916.
In the application for rehearing the
railroads set forth twenty-four specific
allegations and arguments. They as
sert that the order is unjust and il
legal. one paragraph of the petition
Is as follows:
There is now and has been for sew
eral years past a general financial
stringency, and especially 50 far as
railroads are concerned, over the en-
tire country, which promises to con
tinue for an indefinite period, and dur
ing this stringency it has and will be
far more difficult to raise money for
railway purposes than it has been for
years prior thereto. Therefore an or
der made during this time of financial
stringency requiring the building of
any new depots along the railway
lines of these defendants is far more
burdensome than if made at times
when the general conditions of finance
were more prosperous and money
easier to raise, and such order as this
forces the diversion of money of these
railways from necessary repair and
which are properly con
nected with the safe operation of their
passenger and freight trains to the
of a new depot at Durant in
lieu of the present existing depot,
which is accommodating all the needs !
If the passenger traffic at that place,
when such new depot is sim.

atisfy the needs and requirements of
he travelling public, but to satisfy the
elfish vanity of those citizens of Du-
ant, active in this matter"
