SUBMARINE OIL LINES.
How the Wells Of Vera Cruz Are Tap
ped For Tank Steamers.

How the Wells Of Vera Cruz Are Tap
ped For Tank Steamers.
Many Of the most productive oil wells
in the state of Vera Cruz Mexico, are
situated near the port of Tuxpam. For
some distance from the shore there the
water is so shallow that few of the
large oil steamers can get into port.
The oil companies hit upon the idea OF
laying submarine pipe lines to points
where the largest oil tankers can be
conveniently moored for loading In
any state Of the tide and weather.
There are now five Of these great iron
pipes in duplicate. They are from six
to eight inches in diameter. and four
of them are nearly mile long. They
terminate in forty-three feet of water
where 1t is so deep that the waves
have no effect on them. When they
were laid divers fastened to the eud Of
each 100 feet Of flexible hose. When
not I'm use the free end OF the hose is
closed and allowed to lie on the bottom
of the sea. where its position is marked
by small buoy attached to the hose
by n stout chain.
When the tank steamers arrive they
moor themselves to the permanent
buoys near by. lift the marked buoy
with a derrick, raise the flexible hose
to the deck of the ship and attach it to
the tank openings. BY means Of sig
nal code the captains of the ships notify
the pumping station on shore. in which
are the valves that control the flow of
oil through the pipe line. Generally
speaking. it takes about twenty-four
hours to load one of the large $1,000
ton tankers. which means that the
pipes deliver 1875 barrels of oil an

Progressive Party Organization

Since the adjournment of the ma
tional Republican and Progressive
conventions at Chicago, the Idaho
Progressives have apparently decid-
ed that the attempt to maintain the
party organization would be futile.
Practically all the leaders of the par
ty in 1912 and 1914 have returned to
the Republican party, and there has
been a general disposition on the part
of the members in general to realign
themselves with there former poll
teal fellows. There was confer
ence of Progressive leaders on Sat
urday afternoon in Boise when de-
cision was practically reached not to
have a Progressive ticket in Ada
County or the state The action of
Guy d. Martin of Standpoint, widely
recognized as one of the most in
huential of the leaders of Progress
sive thought in the state, in announc-
ing his advocacy of Hughes election
was discussed at the meeting, and of
those who were in attendance ma
jority are reported to be of the same
mind as Mr.. Martin.

Republican Organization Plans Per-
fecting.


The plans of the Republican state
organization for the coming cam
paign seem to be well in hand. The
formation of Hughes and Fairbanks
clubs is to be undertaken in all parts
of the state The club organized in
Ada county, will have branch clubs
formed at Meridian and South Boise
this week, and at Eagle, Star, Kuna
and Barberton as soon as the club
organization can do the work. In
Canyon, Owyhee, Gilmore, Gem and
Washington counties club organiza-
ton will be undertaken by the Boise
headquarters during the coming two
weeks. An effort is also being made
to secure the forming of clubs in
both northern and southern Idaho
counties under the auspices of the
central organization and the various
county committees. Shad l.. Hodgin,
who is in charge of headquarters in
Boise, expresses the thought that it
is through the formation of live Re-
publican clubs everywhere that the
best test of the direct primary can be
given. and believes that with such
clubs formed everywhere in the state
the apparent inefficiency of the
law will quickly disappear.

there seems to be a doubt whether
the Democrats will put anyone up to
face Captain Patch, the Republican
candidate There are whispers that
Governor Alexander would like to see
former Adjutant General Grow an
nounce himself. For secretary of
state, Roy Herndon, of Salmon, one
time member of the Legislature, is an

not been filed. For state auditor,
Clarence VanDeusen, who was the
Progressive candidate for that office
two years ago, will file during the
coming week. For attorney general
the Democrats so far have spoken of
T. A. Walters, but so far Mr.. Walters
has himself been silent. For state
treasurer the Democrats will advance
the name of l.. M. Capps. So far
there are no Democratic announce
ments for state superintendent, al
though it is expected that Miss Noble
of Boise county may be induced to
file. The congressional timber in the
Democratic party apparently has all
taken to the tall timber. Fred Floed
writer and orator, college mate of
Senators Chamberlain of Oregon and
Poindexter of Washington, it has
been supposed would make the race,
but latterly his name has not been
heard in this connection. Frank l..
Moore or ]. H. Forney of Moscow
may be in the field from the north
and NJ. j. Keer from southern Idaho.
1t is noticeable that in speaking of
nominees for some state
Office, only one man is talked of for
a single nomination. This will leave
the more or less footloose Democracy
an opportunity to vote the republican
ticket at the primaries, in the hopes {
Of weakening the opposing ticket. /
