HENSHAW VISITS HEALDTON
viii Take No Official Action Until
Formal Complaint.

George A. Henshaw, member of
the state corporation commission,
came in from the fields Friday night
where he went on the ground to OBJ
serve the conditions that exist there,
He reports that the field has S72
producing wells, and has about 25O
locations in the proven area yet to be
drilled He found the Magnolia pro
rating oil on the basis of 60 per cent
of the production, while the Producers
pipe line and the Ardmore refinery
people We're running 100 per cent of
the oil from the leases with which
they have connections. The Magnolia
is running 10000 barrels, and while
ii reduced the percentage 1t did not
reduce tha runs. 1t seems that as
soon as the producers learned that
all of their oil could not be taken.
some of those who were running eX-
clusively to storage, began making
runs to the pipe line, and for that
reason the percentage had to be re-
duced The total percentage of oil
that is being run is about so per cent
of the production. Mr. Henshaw
states that it will give up as much
wealth as Cushing, for the reason
that the wells will produce for a
longer period of time. His first state
ment was that the commission would
issue some kind of an order tomor-
row, but after looking further into
the question involved, the commits
sioner concluded that it would be
better to wait until formal complaint
had been made before the commits
sion and hearing be had before
any orders were issued. Several oil
the producers who would rather sec
the pipe lines harmonic the field
than have the state take it over
made the request to the commission
er that they have hearing before
anv orders are made. The Magnolia
COMPANY seems to be anxious for the
state to take the field in hand, and
prorate the runs.

Southeast of Wilson.

The George J. Ames well in sec
ton 6-5s-1w should be drilling now
within a short time. The rig has
been completed at the location in the
northeast corner of the southeast
quarter of the section named. The
drilling contract has been awarded
to the Mcbride Drilling company. The
location is two miles southeast or
the Texas tank farm near Wilson, on
the Ramsey farm. The well is to be
drilled to a depth of 1,500 feet, and
the eight-inch is to be carried to that
depth. The well will be in shape to
be drilled deeper with the large cas-
ing carried so deep.

Tank Did Not Burn.

Steel tank No. on the Emma Wat
kins lease in 1913, which was sold
by the Gates company to C. j. Skid
more, was struck by lightning on the
same afternoon that the McMan and
Magnolia lost two tanks on their
farm in Jefferson county. The Skid
more tank was bulged on the top in
three places, showing that it had
been very roughly handled. 1t had
no fire protectors of any kind, but
escaped without being burned, which
is considered somewhat remarkable.

Pipe Line Completed.

The Texas Company has its S-inch

Wilson, but the company has no pump
station built, and has no gathering
system. 1t is evidently waiting until
such time as the producers will make
deliveries of their oil to the line.

French Interested
 In the Far East

Tokio, Dec. 28.-The increasing in terest which France is showing in the Far East is evidenced by the starting at Tokio of new French weekly called ''LInformation d'Extreme- Orient."f The editor is Albert Maybon, a successful French journalist, who came to Japan for the special purpose of launching the new organ. It is believed that the newspaper has the support of the French government.
 The first number which is printed both in French and Japanese contains cablegrams from M. Briand, the French prime minister; M. Pichon, former foreign minister; Barthou, for mer premier; Bergson, the French philosopher; Capus. the French au- thor; Leroy-Beaulieu, the French economist, and Brieux, the great French dramatist. From the Japan csc side, there are contributions from Viscount Ishii, until recently foreign minister; M. Wakatsuki, former min ister of finance, and many others.
 M. Pichon cabled: ''If ever two countries were destined to understand each other, and to become more close ly connected they are France and the Empire of the Mikado. Everything conspires to that end-community of aspirations and of interests, the logic of their history, the idea of their com mon duties, the alliance already ex- isting between them, and the confra- ternity of their arms"

GREAT BRITAIN SPEEDING UP IN
 HER SA|PYARDS
Belfast Scene of Activity Sixteen Large Vessels
 To Be Built.

London, Dec 28.-The question of expediting meTca ntile shipbuilding is receiving attention from government authorities and speeding up'' order has gone forth to various shipyards where the tonnage under construction is believed to be very large. Lack of men and materials seem to be the chief drawbacks, and in all probabil- ity skilled men will be brought back from the front to enable further steel furnaces to be opened while dilution of labor and utilization of women workers will probably bel carried still further.
 Besides the large number of orders on hand, three shipping firms have each ordered a large cargo vessel of over seven thousand tons, the P. and o. Company have placed an ordrer for big passenger liner and Furness Withy have ordered seven big cargo steamers.
 In varioIs yards around the coast ship-repairing is being conducted as rapidly as the moderate amount of labor will allow, the recent stormy weather having caused 8 considerable increase in the demand for repairs Several new steamers are being fitted out, notably a ten thousand tonner on the Clyde, a Royal Mail liner at Belfast and the twenty thousand ton Red Star Belgenland whereon some two thousand men are employed.
 In the Belfast district additional building berths which have been started will allow for the construction of sixteen large steamers.

/ Tne Senate failed to confirm the Presidents nomination of Winthrop Moore Daniels of New Jersey to con- tinue as a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission. MT. Daniels reappointment has aroused renewed opposition among the members of the Senatew ho opposed him two years ago.
 The opposition to MT. Daniels, which nearly resulted in his defeat when he was first named as mem Der of the commission, comes chiefly from Western Senators, members of the Progressive wing. of the Republi- can party, among them La Toilette, Clapp and Cummins.
 The cause of the fight is a differ ence of economic opinion. MT. Dan- iels, while a member of the New Jer- sey Public Utilities Commission, de- cided in the Passaic gas case that in tangible values as we'll as physical property should be counted in the valuation of a public utilities corpor- ation as a basis for fixing a reasona- ble rate. His opponents, who hold that the valuation should be con- fined to physical holdings in fixing rates, say that his economic opinions unfit him for membership on the commission.

Feed High, Farmers
 in England<Kill Pigs

London, Dec. 28.-Because of the high cost of feeding-stuffs farmers have been destroying filters of young pigs at birth, much to the dismay of a government agricultural commit tee, which has been conducting a campaign to induce stock-raisers to help ward off pork famine. Far mers defended their action with the statement that the government was allowing export of meal to Holland which ought to be kept in this coun- try. The consequent increased price of feeding pigs the farmers contend ed, made it impossible for them to make a profit on their pigs.

 The Fixed Stars. |.
 The display in the eastern part of the sky is particularly grandiose this month. Near the meridian is Capel- la in Auriga, the Charioteer, a star which resembles the sun greatly as to the quality of it's light and there fore probably in composition and age To the south is reddish Aide baran in Taurus, whose color very likely indicates advancing age. In the same class probably is Betelgeux of Orion; though the latter's constel- lation mate Rigol is a star of far winter color-younger and hotter, moist likely. Below Orion is the giant Sirius, >Of a beautiful bluish white hue, much like that of an arc light. Precyon the Lessor Dog, is a white starr as is also Regulus of the Lion, which has just come over the horizon. Pollux, the brighter of the Heavenly Twins, is perhaps just a trif1e yellow, but not reddish. We can probably be quite certain that a star of white or bluish- white color is hotter than one of yellow or reddish tinge, and usually this denotes also that the white star is younger and less developed than the others; but we cannot be sure that the yellow star may not be in a process of get ting hotter instead of cooling, though the latter is probably more usual

Japanese Radio Has
 World Wide Scope

Tokio, Dec. 2S.-The power of Ja- pans new wireless station which is now in regular communication with the United States by way of Hawaii was strikingly shown by its recent picking up of messages sent from Northern Germany and from some other continental wireless station. The Japanese station, which is situated at Funabashi, ten miles east of Tokio, was receiving a message from Hawaii when it picked up several cipher mes sa ages addressed to F. G. C., which stands for Madrid, which were being sent by some powerful station some 5000 miles away. The next day message was picked up while it was being sent by North Germant.
