MENT &

Once. upon a time Norman Jones,
serving in the National Guard at
FL Paso, returned to camp after a
strenuous Is mile hike foot-sore and
legweary. He had not been long in
active service and his shoulders, back
and limbs felt the after-effects Of
marching. ->-
Remembering Sloan's Liniment,
Jones applied tito the sore, spots and
went to bed. He writes, "I arose the
next morning feeling fine; in fact I
had entirely forgotten about the hike
and went out for a four-hour drill in
the sun as spry as ever"
Private Jones passed the experience
along, and many a boy on the border
relieved the agony of sprains, strains,
bruises, insect bites, cramped muscles,
rheumatic twinges, ETC., by the use of
sloan Liniment.
Easily applied without rubbing. AT

Development of Wyoming OIL

A capitalist who has just returned from the
Wyoming oil fields says to the Boston News
bureau:
Development OF the Wyoming oil fields is
becoming very rapid In lgl2 these 5 heds d tuTnea na
3,520,000; 1915. 4,2l2000, and this year the pro-
duction will be over 100000 barrels. Most re-
markable strides are being made in drilling and
outputting and the larger factors in the oil in
dustry are coming suddenly to realize that they
must take note Of Wyoming, for there is no other
territory in the United States making so remark
able showing except Oklahoma and California.
Nothing except the top sands have so tar
been tapped in an important way in Wyoming,
and geological and oil experts agree that not
more than ) per cent of available oil has been
extracted
Aside from less rigid policy as regards
land Withdrawals by the federal government,
pipe line is very desirable This would provide
better market for Wyoming oil.
1T is probable that such a-line will be built,
900 miles from Salt Creek to Omaha within
eral regulations. With railroad facilities alone,
not less than $4,000 cars or, say, 280000000 gal
Ions, of raw and rehped Wyoming oil are this
year being shipped in tank cars; and production
is increasing by leaps and bounds. Within
month the Midwest Refining company alone has
ercnts Of 20.000000 gallons OF gasoline.
Wyoming undoubtedly presents the greatest
single weapon in this country for solving the
gasoline question, because Of the gasoline con-
tent of Wyoming oil By reason of the relative
lack of competition for Wyoming oil, and the
absence OF pipeline facilities for its cheap trans
portaton, it at present brings not much over 90
cents per barrel, while Pennsylvania crude COM
mands $500 per barrel But Pennsylvania crude
carries only 20 per cent gasoline content, while
a great deal Of Wyoming oil has been found to
have 40 to SO per cent gasoline content.
AT present the refining company with the
largest single output in Wyoming is the Midwest,
which is estimated to have over 450000000 bar
rels OF indicated oil untapped in Salt Creek
alone. Midwest Refnings earnings this year
will exceed %,000000 net A large part Of them
have been put into purchase Of $2,425,000 par OF
the s., 600 outstanding preferred stock of the
Greybul Refining company, which latter company
will be merged with Midwest Refining.
Midwest Refnings 100000 shares par $50
each, are at present on an 8 per cent dividend
basis, an increase OF 4 per cent per annum since
February There is quite a wide distribution
Of the companys shares among New England
investors. OF the outstanding issue. 10000
shares are owned in France, and their owners
there have refused 500 per share at least three
times within the last five months"
Omaha daily bee., 1916-11-22

II conditions correctly reported in the
item we reproduce on this page from the Boston
News / etter, the time is ripe for revival Of the
several times planned project for pipe line
from Wyoming to Omaha. Ever since the cxis-
tence Of oil in Wyoming was made known, when
the territory was first thrown open. The Bee has
held up the prospect OF making Omaha eventu-
ally the outlet for its refining and marketing and
the development, SO long retarded, seems now to
have been begun in earnest and to be at last
proceeding at a rapid pace. The advantages of
piping the Wyoming oil at least to the Missouri
river, as soon as the volume of the output war
rants, are recognized by the oil men, especially
where it would be- as in this case, practically
gravity flow the entire distance, with but little
pumping. i .
What the building OF pipe line from the Wyo-
ming fields would mean to Omaha need hardly
'e expatiated on. The successful execution OF
such project would give this city an impetus
as an industrial center which nothing else could
do, and we know OF no other plan for the ad-
vanccment of Omaha's material interests that will
so well repay serious effort on the part of our
business organizations to bring it to head and
expedite its completion

Control Of Interstate Waters.

The federal court OF appeals sitting at Den
yer has handed down decision affirming the
right OF senior claimants in Nebraska to use Of
the waters of streams flowing across the state
line from Colorado The justice OF this is ap-
parent, but junior claimants had set up claim
OF state priority over the waters in controversy,
neccssitating the suit 1t is most important
point in irrigation, the application OF which is
vital to the development of reclamation enter
prses. The irrigator falls without the common
law provision that the user must return the water
to the stream undimnshed in volume and un-
affected as to quality. He applies the water to
such uses as preclude its return, and therefore
must have different rule to govern him. The
establishment Of the principle OF priority without
regard to state lines affords this rule.
The court has sustained the position taken by
The Bee many years ago, when it urged federal
control of the great reclamation projects Of the
west This paper has always contended that the
work is such as generally exceeds the capacity Of
private enterprise, and that il involves so much
OF interstate relations that il can be done better
by the general government, which alone has the
means and the authority. The success OF great
undertakings set afoot by the reclamation service
OF the United States has vindicated the stand
of The Bee while the predicament in which pri-
vate ventures often land through failure to OBJ,
serve the rule is shown in the case just ter
minated.
The principle we'll written into law, and
firmly upheld, will aid in developing irrigation
because of the stability it lends

With over 100000 votes cast at the last cleo
tion, forecasters in Nebraska have new prob
lem before them TIE total vote in 1912 was
10000, and in 1914 it was 238O00, facts which led
the home prognosticators to estimate the vote
for 1916 at around 275,000 The event showed
them as wide of the mark on this as on other
features of the election The outpouring Of bal
lots, beyond any experience, shows the uncom-
mon interest taken in the election. Issues novel
and important were presented to the voters SO
that considerable fervor for voting was engen-
dered, but many were only concerned in one or
another Of several as the disparities in totals will
disclose II is strange that, where the voters
were asked to make choice between candidates
for high Offices and on issues that were sharply
defined, so many should give evidence of no lack
Of interest sufficient to lead them to vote, and
yet refrain from completely marking their bal
lots. The analysis Of the vote will afford much
occupation for the political students Of the state,

importance Of the Newlands Inquiry.

The joint congressional committee under the
chairmanship Of Senator Newlands has COM
menccd one OF the widest and most far-reaching
investigations ever undertaken by the government.
In outlining its purpose, Senator Newlands
planned the scope Of the inquiry as comprising
the entire range and all the ramihcations Of the
transportation industry in the United States. Not
only this, but its bearings on the external rela-
tons of the country are to be given considera-
ton in connection with other phases Of the prob

mittee will undertake to make recommendations
as to the future Of the industry, whether il will
be under strict regulation or government owner
ship. Second, to formulate plans for proper CO.
ordination OF all the elements OF land and water
service, that public as we'll as private interests
in peace and war alike may be completely con-
served. The value of this broad inquiry will
finally depend on its thoroughness. At the out
set the committee has encountered reluctance
on part of witnesses to give testimony, but this
should be overcome Sooner or later the gov
ernment must have the facts, in order that proper
procedure may be determined, If the Newlands
inquiry does not bring out the information
quired, another will, for the movement now under
way must be carried through to a definite con-
clusion.

Then for their evening meal, instead

The Case of Portia

Was the learned New York justice serious
when he advised women lawyers not to wear
conspicuous clothes in court to hirt with Judge
or jury? If he were not. he should have rcmcm-
bered that jest's prosperity lies not in the car
OF him that hears it-or in this case her. For
the women members Of the profession appear to
be greatly exercised by his obiter dictum. There
are those who affect to believe that his advice
is sound. But probably more will agree with the
lady from Philadelphia who writes to the New
York Sun that those of her sex who are called to
the bar "can be just as charming and as womanly
and as businesslike If clothed becomingy as il
they made OF themselves spectaces and the laugh
ing stock OF the male crowd" The only objection
to this conclusion is that it is based upon an
impossible assumption. Who can figure any
woman, lawyer or not as spectacle and laugh
ing stock? The qualities that attract are COM
parative, not positive. A woman who is clothed
becomingly undoubtedly surpasses one who is
clothed unbecomingly. Fine feathers at least help
. to make fine birds, despite the proverb is II not
a woman lawyers duty to her client to make as
gratifying an impression upon judge and jury as
she can?
And why shouid the strongest feminine wcap,
ons be taken from herr The justice apparently
used the concrete word efirt" to express the sub
tier methods Of subjugatiou. There arc men law
yers whose success depends chiefly upon their

Saved many nickel
By diet well balanced with wecvils
But his wife might have said,
When his daughter had fed.
That she chose the least of two evils
While meat prices are steep,
"All>day suckers" are cheap,
And this masterful person named Mickle
Should have made out check.
And paid for whole peck,
Thus wisely investing a nickel.
Then when meal time came, round,
The glad note he might sound.
And give each one an 'all-day sucker"
His inefficient wife would be sad
She would almost go mad.
Because the bright thought had not struck
her.
There would be no chance for greed
No fires they would need,
And for cheese, not even a nickel.

That prosperity would bless
