THREE OKLAHOMA GAS
COMPANIES SEEK MERGER
Asks Governor Williams for Permission
90 Scramble Themselves.

90 Scramble Themselves.
Oklahoma City. June 23.-Three OF
Oklahoma's largest public utility gas
companies have asked Governor VIII
liams for permission to consolidate. At
torneys representing the companies con-
tend that the same set OF officers serves
all three companies and that they are
non-competitive. The attorney gener-
ais office now is preparing an opIn-
ion.
The companies seeking consolidation
are the Oklahoma Natural Gas Compa-
ny, serving Oklahoma City, Shawnee.
Guthrie. Edmond and many intermedL
ate towns on its pipe line from Sapulpa
TO Oklahoma City; the Usage and Okla.
homa Gas Company. which serves Tul.
sa. Dawson. Red Fork and Turley, and
the Caney River Gas Company. serving
Muskogee. Claremore Wagner and in.
termediate small towns.
The Oklahoma statutes prohibit con.
solidation Of competing companies. The
gas companies contend that as many OF
the stockholders hold stock In two or
more OF the companies the law should
not operate TO hinder the merger.
Should an unfavorable opinion be Civ.
en- the governor Is empowered to take
action to prevent the proposed con.
solidation.

FISH THAT IS UNREASONABLE
But Oenizen Of the Sea Is Worthy Of
Much Respect, II Only Con-
sumner Could See II.

1t seems as if there are fashions in
fish just as there are in wearing APP
parel. A fish that brings in German
markets nearly four times as much
per pound as our fresh mackerel, and
considerably more than haddock, is
thrown away by our fishermen be-
cause no one wants to eat it. And it
is mighty good fish, too, says the
Popular Science Monthly. Those
who cat it praise it for its delicate
flavor Even the English like it. Ev-
cry year they consume 5000 tons
OF 1t. Yet we will have none of it.
This fish is known as the goose
fish, anglerfish, devilfsh and monk
hsh. True, its appearance is against
1t, but still the epicures in England
and Germany demand it because it
is delicious. Analyses made by the
bureau Of fisheries on samples show
that gooscfsh contains considerably
more protein than founder, slightly
more than a cod, little less than
slrloln steak. The gooscfsh has an
average length OF three feet and is
broad and flat, somewhat resembling
the founder in general outline. The
only way to get it, says a Philadel-
phia woman, is for the housewives to
club together and demand it. At the
present time fishermen do not take
the trouble to bring it home, but dis
card it from their nets.
