WATER PROBLEM IS
SOLVED At PERRY
Refinery Is in Prospect;
Clay Products May Add
Industry.

PERRY Okla. Sept n-(SpeeiaO
The water supply which with Perry
as with other cities OF Oklahoma ha,
been the bugaboo for score OF years
has been finally settled this fall With
a large reservoir of capacity Of L.
100000 gallons but small surface drain
age and the McKmstry Cow Creek
dam with half the capacity, never
eodld enough water be impounded to
tide over dry spell of many months
as has been experienced especially in
the past two years, A city bond issue
year ago provided for improvements
on the water and light Plant, a filtra-
ton plant and as well new 50M,-
coo gallon concrete dam west OF the
city across COW creek. This dam con-
structed last winter suffered the
general bone dry condition until last
month when with seven inches OF rain
it was filled to over flowing With the
other reservoirs refreshed the water
supply now provided is sufficient for
city many times the present popula-
ton.
Refinery May Build.
With the water supply solved parties
are now investigating conditions for .
local refinery this being the nearest
shipping point on the Santa Fe and
Frisco main lines from the Billings
Hoover oil field With billions OF feet
of natural gas within twelve to fifteen
miles of the city, owing to the scarcity
of pipe and the prohrtative WiceS
Perry is yet denied the boon OF ma
tural gas for domestic or factory pur-
poses
Oil development following the leas-
ing has been active all over the
country. The wells now producing
are in the northwest Part of the county,
known as the Billings field, Just forty
minutes drive by jitney from Perry.
the county seat.
The oil field roads have not been
neglected in the meantime and at great
expense and much labos the roads
leading to the northwest age in fine
condition.
Shale Promises Industry.
The hills within the eastern bounda-
rics of the city contain vast deposits "
the finest brick and pottery shale which
awaits the coming ot cheap fuel to
make Ryry brioks'tile and pottery
factory Center The industrial depart
ment Of the Santa Fe has Just made
a report on this shale supply and heart
lily advocates the earliest possible de-
velopment, as it is unsurpassed for all
classes Of brick and pottery manufac-
ture.
In the meantime development is pa.
tiently awaited until the war prices ol
material are Hooverized and by oil de-
, velopment the present rate OF taxation
is materially reduced.

The Smoked Herring
Prospects Said to Be Poor
tEastport Sentinel, Oct. 81

With the arrival of October pros
poets for a heavy falls catch of smok
ing herring have become exceedingly
poor. At Grand Manan, where the
houses are usually filed at this time,
may houses have no fish at all, 81
few have one. two or three bays"
filed. and the catch is rated as almost
an absolute failure. At Lubec nrc
concern has 60 hogsheads hanging,
another Is. another II. and the Me-
Curdys have 81 bays filled That is
the complete quota Of Luhec at
present and in Passport probably not
more than % hogsheads have been
hung up as Yet.
The fishing season is however. not
completed. and will not be finished
until the heavy fall stofms which
usually reach here in November. break
down the weirs at Grand Manan, to
which the smokers look for their main
supply. 1t is reasonable 10 expect that
the season may continue until Novem-
Ter l. and if the weather is fine. it may
extend well into November.
There remain, therefore, some
chances that the catch may be i'm
proved, for reports indicate that there
are plenty of herring off shore which
are suitable for smoking and if these
schools strike" the weirs soon. the
houses here and at Lubec and Grand
Manan may be flied. although it is
probable that even so, they can be
filled only once
The price Of the fish at the wars is
an. index Of scarcity. They command
from 5000 to $1,000 per hcgshead,
and these figures are made readily,
even eagerly. by the smokers, VINO

the supply is going TO be very limited,

they will be hard to obtain at these
figures. There arc almost no whole
smoked herring in the rnarket az yet
and the price to be offered for them
by the "honeiess" packers is Vet in
doubt. but 1t will certainly not be ,ess

SITUATION ACUTE
Stovall Believes Back
bone of German Re-
sistance Is Broken

An Atlantic Port, Oct. 12.-After
four years spent in the center of Eur
ope's colossal struggle. Pleasant A.
Stovau. United States minister to
Switzerland declared on his arrival
here today that the economic situation
in Germany is acute and that he be-
sistance has been broken. Since the
publication Of President Wilson's re-
ply to Pope Benedict's peace propo-
sails in which the President stated that
the United States is warning on the
German government and not on the
German people the revulsiOn against
the war Mr.. Stovall said, has been
spreading rapidly through Germany"
The effect of this statement was for
a long time not noticeable" he assert
ed. but slowly and surely it is sink
ing deeper and deeper into the Ger
man heart. If left to themselves, the
German people would make peace to-
morrow.
There is no doubt about the econ
omic straits in which Germany now
finds itself. The situation is acute
In spite of German. French and
Italian influences, - Minister Stovall
said, Swiss neutrality has been pre-
served and force of 100000 men
watches the borders constantly to pre-
vent the passage of contra band He
added that Switzerland's exercise of
broad sympathies for the wounded
brought in from three fronts was a
notable chapter of history. In Swiss
hospitals there are, he said. about 25.-
600 prisoners, mostly French, but Eng
lish and Germans also. The Swiss peo-
pie give entertainments constantly for
them and extend aid wherever it is
| needed
! Mr. Stovall will go to Washington
! to consult with government officials
and later to his home in Savannah.
