UTAH LIQUOR LAW
IS STRICTLY ENFORCED
Officials Forestall Operations of
Bootleggers-Chief of Police
in Salt Lake City Acts

When prohibition was on the point Of be-
coming effective throughout Utah, certain
individuals proceeded to import large stocks
of liquor, with view to conducting extern
sive bootleggng operations. These opera
tions were forestalled by State, county and
city officials, who, unitedly, have asserted
that the law must be lived up to.
AS a result of the attitude of the au-
thorltes, It is found that many who planned
to make handsome profits from selling
liquor Illegally abandoned their intentions.
Raids have been conducted and seven
men have been thrown into Jail in Salt
Lake City. According to reports from other
parts of tie State. only about twenty have
been arrested for violation Of the law.
j. Farley White. chief of police. an
nounces that Salt Lake City will be cleared
of all bootleggers. lie states that he has
a list of about 200 places, including stores
and private houses, where il is believed
that there is Intoxicating liquor. He said
he proposed to raid all the places, the law
giving officers the power TO enter any sIs-
pected premises. He declares that the
campaign will be followed up closely until

MAsHINGTON. Nov. 90.

II the Interstate Commerce Commission
grants the is pcr cent rate advance urged
by the eastern railroads the carriers VIII
Immediately request permission to ME nc"
tariffs carrying additional increases of ap-
proxmately 1875 per cont
George Stuart Patterson, of Philadelphia
counsel for Tn eastern carriers, announced
the intention of tho railroads to ask tor
further increases, at tho closing OF inc
hearing before tho commission yesterday.
lie said tho relief granted earlier IN the
year amounted to so7, 100000. and >tdat the
rates now under consideration would add
s5s,00o,0 900. or a total OF $685. 1000. But
this, he said, would account for only a
little moro than half the great rise In
wages and materials, which had added
S27s,ooo,0o0 TO the operating cost Mr..
Patterson declared that, as a hearing would
be needed on the further Increases. applica-
tlon would he made by the eastern carriers
for permission TO file now tariffs.
The rate advance already granted
amounts TO So per cent on freight revenues,
and the completion Of the Is per cent case
will add 40 per cent, total of 13.1 per
cent.
The great Stse In the cost Of bitumlnous
Ccal of which the carriers consume "a quar-
ter OF all the mine output, has added $685.
100000 to eastern operating expenses. The
rise in steel. copper and other materials
has added $50, 900 900; while the advances
in wages total $1O3, 900, 900. This is a total
Of S27o, ,o0o,O 900, and does not include about
S20O0o,o00 in increased taxes.
The essential facts of the situation, as re-
cited by Mr. Patterson. were:
First. A continuous decline in net oper-
ating income. accompanied by q steadily
increasing basis of cost of operation, and
this in the face of increasing traffic, prop
erty investment and in average car load
and train load.
Second A decrease in both the supply
and character of labor available for rail-
road operating, which is being daily inten-
sificd, and which will still more increase
in the future the cGst of operation.
Third. Tho existence Of deferred main
tenance at a time when the highest standard
known should be maintained, the further
postponcment of which will increase its
cost. and decrease the operating efficiency
of the railroads.
Fourth. Inability 70 get new capital by
tho issuance of stock. and the necessary
weakening effect upon the credit of the
carriers
Fifth. Inability to make improvements
imperativcly demanded by the necessities OF
today and the traffic of the future.
Commenting on the rise In wages, which
has already added more than 500, 900, 600
to the payrolls Mr.. Patterson said these ad-
vances were still going on, the = !nnsylva-
mia Railroad alone having made increases
in wages in the last month amounting tc
more than s7,0OOO00 year.

SEE GREAT WEALTH
IN GOOSE CREEK OIL
Texas State Governments Share
in Year Estimated at
$14,0OO,OOO

With one oil well bringing to the State of
Texas daily revenue of $1,000 and with a
prospect that within the next few weeks
there will be at least twenty-five more pro-
ducing wells on State-owned lands in the
Goose Creek field, visions of enormous
wealth from this source are being pictured
by public officials there.
II will not be surprising. It is claimed by
men who are familiar with the oil-producing
possibilities OF Tabbs Bay. which is owned
by the State Of Texas, II the royalty which
the State shall have obtained within the
next year from this source amounts TO
s14000,00O. or much more than will be
necessary to pay the operating expenses Of
the State Government during the yearly
period.
The recent bringing In OF a well in the
shallow water to Tabbs Bay with a flow
of oil amounting to 1900 barrels, leads 10
the belief on the part OF practical oil men
that the Goose Creek field Is destined TO
develop into one Of the biggest producinE
oil pools that has been discovered In the
Gulf Coast region since the days Of Spin
dletop.
The State has leased virtually all of the
area of the bay to different oil operators or
a basis of one-eighth royalty of the value
of all oil produced. There is room for
probably 100 wells located at reasonable
distances apart In the bays area.
The States one-eighth share of this pro.
duction would amount to little more thar
$50, 900 per day. The significance Of the
recent developments In the Goose Creek field
lies In the fact that the big production wa,
brought In at q greater depth OF drilling
than has heretofore been attempted. Ths
dow evidently comes from an entireIy dis
