thing must be done to meet the ever
increasing demand of the automobile
and must be done soon
Roughly speaking the gasoline pro
duction Of 1916 was 2,OO0,O00OOO bar
rels, as compared with l.a00.00O,O00 in
1915 The cracking OF oil the In
creasng of the end point for gasoline
and the larger yields OF casinghead
gasoline accounted for this difference
as no increased quantity of crude oil
was available
1t is estimated that on January 3.
1917, there were more than 9,25O.OOO
automobiles in use IN this country and
the output Of automobiles is increas
ing at the rate Of approximately 25
per cent a year That a serious stu
alton confronts the country in regard
to supply of gasoline to satisfy this
ever increasing demand is evident

Attorneys DISCUSS drainage 6efore
The NicolIet County Board.
Attorneys J. W. Schmitt and C. J..
Laurisch of this city were again in St.
Peter yesterday before the Nicollet
county board, contending on opposite
sides of the question of the drainage
of Swan lake. Mr.. Laurisch repre-
sented Philip Pehling of North Man
kato, owning land on Pehling's bay at
Swan lake. Attorneys Somsen &
Dempsey of New Ulm are also for
the petitioners. Mr.. Schimitt repre-
sented twenty, men owning large
farms on Swan lake. and the outlet;
also the American, state and local
game protective leagues, all opposing
the proposed drainage. Associated
with Mr.. Schmitt in this case are two
st. Peter attorneys, Senator Benson
and M. E. Stone.
The main question at issue in the
arguments presented yesterday was
whether the board was obliged un-
der the law to appoint an engineer
and viewers in the matter, and re-
ceive their reports, before taking fin
al action. The board at length decided
to have an engineer make a survey
and report, and then to have final
hearing on the matter. At this final
hearing, the date for which has not
been set, evidence will be taken on
the merits of the proposition.
