Governor Johnston Here.

Governor d. H. Johnston of Tish-
omingo was in the city last night en-
route to Oklahoma City on business
Mr.. Johnston has spent several
months in Washington as a delegate
for the Chickasaw-Choctaw Treaty
Rights association in the interest of
Indian legislation and states that he
is very well satisfied with Indian
legislation up to date.
While he was away Mrs. Johnston
was persuaded to subscribe a few
thousand dollars for stock in a pat
ent egg crate concern, and when the
governor returned and learned the
facts he was slightly peeved, but hid
his feelings from his wife. He took
the matter calmly and was startled
the other day to learn that the crate
was the only one approved by the post
office department for parcel post ship
ments and that the stock was scooting
skyward. He Immediately congratula-
ted his wife upon her good investment
after he found that she had picked up
a good thing, and is now in Oklahoma
City looking over the plant, and may
take out few thousand dollars worth
of stock himself.

To Build Refineries.

Definite announcement has been
authorized by representatives of the
Royal Dutch-Shell combine that the
RoXana Petroleum Co., operating in
Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and Hi
nois, will build modern 10,000-bbl.
refinery as rapidly as possible at
Cushing, Okla, to run on Roxana
production in the Gushing district.
1t is under consideration also to con-
struct topping plant of about 10,-
000-bbls. capacity in the Healdton
field in southern Oklahoma to better
handle the company's 10000 bbls a
day production there.
La Corona Petroleum Co., the Roy
al Dutch-Shell operating in Mexico
will build a 1O0O0-bbl. refinery at
New Orleans, to run on Mexican
crude. The location of this plant in
the United States will avoid any
trouble that happens in Mexico and
be closer to the fuel and products
markets.
w. !. A. Van der Gracht of Holland
an active managing director of the
Royal Dutch Petroleum Co., and the
Royal Dutch-Shell combine has been
in the United States five months
perfecting details connected with the
Roxana subsidiary in Oklahoma, the
Shell Petroleum Co. in California and
La Corona Petroleum Co. in Mexico.
The recent announcements regarding
expansions are the result of conclus-
ions he has reached after visiting the
different territories and studying con-
ditions, his recommendations being
final. Those persons who have come
in contact with him acknowledge his
ability, courtesy and efficiency. He
avoids the appearance of red tape
that frequently hampers the represen-
tatives of foreign interests in the
United States.-Fuel Oil Journal.

RATES
AS VIEWED BY
COM. HENSHAW
PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEES SEEM
TO FAVOR FEDERAL CONTROL
Issue WILL BE BROUGHT IN
CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.

L Oklahoma City, Okla, June 10
George A. Henshaw, member of the
Oklahoma Corporation Commission,
takes a rather gloomy view of the
outlook for State rates, considering
the nominees for President by the
two leading political parties. Mr.
Henshaw is of the opinion that both
President Wilson and Judge Hughes
are in favor of broadening the power
of the Federal Government in the line
with the Shreveport decision that the
consequent restriction of the power
of the States in making railroad
rates. He said so today in discussing
the coming committee hearing hear
ing in Washington, on the Sheppard
amendment to the commerce act that
as induced by the Shreveport case
This hearing will be held June 80 by
the Senate committee and Mr.. Hen
shaw was urged by Commissioner
Williams of Texas to be in Washing
ton that day and make an argument
before the committee in favor of the
Sheppard bill
"Wilson and Hughes both seem to
be in favor of extending the power
of the Federal Government and re-
stricting that of the States, in the
matter of rate making" said Mr..
Henshaw. while neither of these
candidates for the presidency has
come out openly and declared that
this is their desire, they are both try
ing covertly to accomplish that very
thing. They have so far yelled their
declarations that point to their inten-
tions in this regard under the plea of
preparedness as an excuse for in
vasion of the rights of the States in
making rates. They are both in ia
vor, however, of the Federal power
making both State and interstate
rates.
"The issue is at hand upon which
lne late Oh lne states as ldClOTS Ill
the rate situation within their own
borders will be decided. There is a
very vigorous sentiment among State
Corporation Commissioners to the
end that members of Congress must
be selected with a view to preserving
the power of the States in this re-
gard. While the association of rail
road commissioners of the United
States has not affirmatively acted in
this matter, it is my belief that they
will support a movement that is un-
der way whereby all men who de-
clare their candidacy for Congress
will be asked how they stand on this
vital question and the influence of
their friends of State control of State
matters will be cast in favor of the
candidates who would preserve the
rights Of the States
Mr.. Henshaw said he probably will
not be able to make the trip to Wash
ington as requested by Commissioner
Williams to make an argument for
the Sheppard measure.

Brazil Fly Bad on Cattle.

U. S. JONES has returned from an
extended visit to his ranch and states
that cattle never looked better than
they do at present, and that the sea-
son has been ideal for all stock so
far. Mr.. JONES is doing his best to
exterminate the Brazil fly, which was
introduced into this country with
shipment of south Texas cattle in
1884. Previous to this the Brazil fly
was unknown here. and Mr.. JONES
states that the fly is as great If not
a greater menace to cattle than the
tick.
