OIL YIELD DROPS
Kansas Produced Three Million
Barrels in 1915.
Petroleum Prices ROcketed
Above Former Record Point.

Washington, d. c., Jan. Accord
ing to a statement issued today by the
United States geological survey, the
total yield of petroleum in Kansas
during the year 1915 was 10000 600
barrels. or 103.5S5 barrels less than
in 1914.
The prices of crude petroleum at
the wells were uniformly low in all
fields from January to August when
the permanent decline of the Cushing
field resulted in an increased demand
for oil produced in other parts of the
country with a consequent advance in
the scale OF prices warranted. The
Kansas and Oklahoma grade of pc
troleum had a rapid recovery in price
before the advent of Gushing. From
its low level of 40 cents a barrel
maintained from February Is to
August ?. the Kansas and Oklahoma
grade advanced to $1.2O a barrel in
little more than four months, passing
its former high level of STOP on De
cember 10, and attaining the price
above quoted on the following day.
In Kansas active development CEN
tered in the Augusta pool Butler
county, and was mostly for gas al
though a few oil wells resulted. In
october a wildcat test near Ell Dorado
in the same county yielded promls-
ing flow of oil but the extent of the
productive area had not been proved
to the end of the year.
The various pools in Chautauqua,
Montgomery. Franklin and Miami
counties displayed only nominal ac-
tivity during the past year.

New York, Feb. 12.-Tex Rickard, promoter of the WillardMOran bout, which will be decided here on March 17, is going to wire Jim Jeffries an offer of the position of referee Jeff has been ill for some time, but he is now convalescing and will undoubt- edly be we'll enough by the date of the battle to act in the capacity of third man in the ring. Jeff refereed the McFarland-We and other inn portant fistic arguments at Tom Me- Carey's old club at Venice, Cal. Jeff will have to apply for license from the state athletic commission in or der to officiate. but it is not believed he would have any trouble getting one. Willard and Moran would need a man of Jeff's size and strength to break them when they clincheu. It would be singular thing to have the last white man to hold the heavy weight crown acting as referee.

STREET TAX EXPECTED
 TO YIELD CITY $5250
Enumeration of Those Liable Will Probably Be Completed by End
 of NOnth-.TO Collect x3.

The work of taking the census of Pine Bluff males whose ages are be- tween 1 Sand 45 years, is rapidly ad- vancing, and it is expected the two census takers will have it completed by the end Of the month.
 ! The decision has already been reached to collect the entire $3 street tax this year, and it is expected also the census will be more thorough. so that the city will probably collect something approximating $5,250 from the tax this year. instead of the $3,5OO collected last year. There were about 1.750 men to pay the tax in money last year, and this year the number is expected to be larger. while each person will pay $3 this year, instead Of $2 that was paid last year.
 The indications are the notices that such taxes are due and payable will be sent out during March, and that the collection of the tax will begin about April or soon ontthereafter. The city tax collector is busy now getting his books prepared for the collection of all the various 1916 taXesf and li- censes, and within the next month or two the city's receipts will pick up materially.s%

MEETING TOMORROW
 AUDIT CITY'S BOOKS
Clerk Lee Issues Call for Audttins and Finance Committees to
 AcsAmhIa

The auditing committee and tho finance committee of the city coun- cisl met Friday afternoon, to audit the books and accounts of the city.
 Formal call for the meeting of the committees will be issued today by City Clerk w. A. Lee. It is not ex- pected much time will be necessary for the committees t. complete their the council at it's next meeting. Mon day night of the cominsg week.
 There is strong probability that tha council Monday night, will hold an informal and executive session for the purpose of discussing the budget for the new year. This session may be held before or following the regu- lar council meeting, and the budget will be reported at either Mondays meeting, or he following meeting of the council. as the case may be.
 Because of the conditions prevail ing here, the small increase in the city's receipts and the growing eX- penditures for absolute necessities. it ic expected the budget will be virtu- ally the same as it was the past year, the council having no margin upon which to wcrk in makilsg allowances fer additional expenditures.
 The one nFw feature which sray he favcrl ply discussed by the ccun eil when it arranges the budget will likely be the proposition to purchase smother automobile fire wagon, less heavy and less expensive than the auto apparatus now in use. and which, if purchased. will rsplace one of the hcrse drawn wagons new n service. the wagon to be used as emergency apparatus only

 Speaker Clark said he favored the increased appropriation, because he believed Lincoln was the greatest man who had ever lived.
 The Southern people came to the conclusion long ago. he said, "that ii Lincoln had lived they never would have experienced one-half the calami- ties that grew out of the civil war, and I believe that also" The speaker also paid tribute to Washington, Jefferson and Jackson.
 Representative Harrison of Missis- sippi. in advocating the increase, said he believed the day would come when monuments of Robert E. Lee, Jeffer- son Davis and "StonewalP' Jackson would be seen in Northern as well as in Southern cities.
