CONGRESS WILL OFFER
HOSPITAL FACILITIES
tuv ASSOCIATED rREOD

WASHINGTON, July 8.-A joint
resolution providing for the use
without expense to the federal gov
eminent of hospital facilities at the
Ellis Island migration station for
New York victims Of infantile paraly-
sis was passed unanimously today by
the House, 1t was introduced by
Representative Siegel under an agree
ment with House leaders. Concur
renee by the Senate is expected Mon
day.
The Siegel resolution was framed
by the department Of labor and
called up just before adjournment.
Republican Leader Mann asked why
the general government should pro
vide for taking care OF the people OF
New York, and it was expected they
would pay the expense.
"The city OF New York is only
asking for the use of the buildings,
explained Mr.. Siegel.
Mr.. Mann agreed to the resolution
amended to provide there should be
no expense to the federal govern
ment.
Representative Howard objected
on the ground that other states are
now Quarantining against the cpl
demic and that the coming Of immi
grants and possible use for immigra
ton purposes of the buildings Nigh
lend to a spread Of 1t. He withdrew
his objection later and the resolution
was finally passed without dissent
ing vote.

for maintenance.
AS the first step in advancing
Broaddu5 to a college, a movement
is now being organized to clear OH
the encumbrances on the present
property. Several Of the trustees
and other friends Of Broaddus have
each agreed to raise $1,000 by sub
scriptions sought among a few OF
their friends. When a total of forty
five persons are enlisted, each will go
out to secure pledges which will be-
come payable only when they are
notified that a total of $4,000 has
been pledged. This plan guaran-
tees each gift accomplishing the whole
purpose for which 1t was given.
When the first campaign is finish
ed another is to be launched for the
funds needed in providing the build
ings, equipment and endowment
necessary for the college. For this
second campaign there are already
some large sums in sight. One man
has promised $4,000 toward the
gymnasium. Two men together plan
to erect the administration building
If certain conditions are forthcoming.
Others have promised to give largely
after the present obligations are
met. Everything considered, Broad
dus has made great advance and is
about to make greater advance.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, July 8
Oklahoma Oil is today the source
Of the greatest natural wealth the
world has ever known. With the
price of oil jumping almost weekly, Il
reached the highest figure in history
few days ago when it went to $1.5t
barrel, and the world looks upor
Oklahoma in breathless awe anC
amusement.
With oil at only 40 cents a barre
for the first six months OF 1915 there
were 4,603 wells drilled in the states
105 different fields during the year
Out of this number only IS per cent
failed to produce oil or gas. The
1913, 100000 barrels produced would
at present prices be worth almos
00,000,O00
Throughout the oil field are won
derful examples of fame and fortune
gained at the gush of oil. A dozer
names are Familiarity known as the Of
kings and rank among the multi-mil
lionaires, but everywhere there are
rich, wealthy and well-to-do, thous
ands OF them, who have made it BY
wise investments In oil. 1t Is said
a 500 investment In the Lucille OIL
Company earned $4,000; 500 in the
Pinal Oil Company grew to $10,000i
the same amount in the Home Run
Company became worth $4,000;
$4OO in the Winchester Oil Company
brought back $4,000; $3.50 in the
Home OIL Company earned 100000
The Coline Company, organized by
twelve ArdmOre business men, start
ed with a capital of $2,150. Last Oc-
tober they sold 400 acres Of their
holdings with 5000 barrels q day
production for a cold million dollars
This company began operations in
the Healdton field in It's early stages
Of development, just after A. T. Nc
Chez, for years an Ardmore carpen-
ter, Familiarity known as "Oil-on-the-
brain McGhee, and the three men
who finally listened to his pleadings
had brought in their first big we'll
McGhee had long contended that oil
and gas would some day be found
in the vicinity, on the theory Of the
presence of old asphalt beds and the
peculiar dip in the outcropping rock.
Biologists have since seen clearly the
wisdom of McGhee's deductions and
say that the indications were most
perfect. Today the Healdton field is
nearly the largest producing field in
the state and it is thought the posi-
bllities In the surrounding territory
are almost limitless.
Knowing the characteristics Of the
country, Robert Berney, an expert
enced oil scout, was convinced that
the Healdton strike was made in only
one of number Of similar spots and
began a thorough search for the sec
ond find" Old asphalt beds are
known to be the residue Of ancient
oil deposits from which the lighter
elements have escaped, when the SUI
face covering has been worn away by
the earths' erosion. The Healdton
field lies directly between an old as
phalt bed and producing gas wells
southeast and northwest, respective
ly. Just across the line in an adjoin-
ing county Berney finally found the
object of his search. The conditions
were almost twin-like. He began i'm
medIately to quietly take leases and
never stopped till he had tied up
1914 acres. Then having secured the
tract under fve-year contract he pa
tiently bided his time till the ad-
vance in oil prices should arrive.

STATE PROTESTS
Against the Proposed Special
Federal Tax on the Cop
per Mining Industry.

BUTTE, Mont, July 8-From ev?
cry part OF Montana today protest
was directed to the state delegation
in Congress against that part Of the
general revenue measure which lays
a special tax upon the copper mining
industry. Under the act the business
of copper mining and refining is
CLASSIFIED with the manufacture and
sale Of munitions Of war.
The protest declares that the
state will be vitality affected by the
discrimination imposed on its prin-
cipal industry. 1t is estimated that
under the provisions OF the proposed
act, one company alone would pay
$4,000, 900 in special taxes.

After drilling starts it will be matter

In speaking of the opportunity, Mr.
Berney, president Of the company
