A Bio Profit.

Another chapter has been written
in the history Of the Coilne Oil compa-
ny. This company was organized
by Chas Won Weise and p. c. Dings
Of Ardmore. There were originally
twelve men in the company. They in
vested $l75 each and sold out for one
million dollars, which made every
stockholder a nice fortune. The Co
line Oil company was purchased by
the fuel oil department of the Santa
Fe railway and has been operated
since that time without change OF
name. The company built four-inch
line to Oil City, where connection was
made with the company's line into
Ardmore. 1t has shipped some oil out
OF ArdmOre by rail and has sold a part
Of its production TO the Producers Re.
filming company and is now selling a
part to the Sinclair people. The com
pany has realized profit OF about
one-half million dollars while it has
had the property and it now has an
offer OF two and a half million dol.
lars. This is equal to a profit of two
million dollars on the purchase made
by Mr.. Hodges Of Chicago and Mr..
Redmond of this city. The offer was
made by the Sinclair Oil and Gas
Company and it is said that Mr..
Hodges did not give consideration to
the offer as he made the purchase to
keep the lands and not for specula.
tion. The Santa Fc uses oil Tor fuel
in the operation of its trains and is
always interested in crude oil.

May Override Veto.

When the message was read in the
house it was ordered to lie on the
table until Thursday morning and
champions Of the bill began laying
their plans for an effort to override
the veto. Chairman Burnett announc.
ed tonight that he would move for
vote Thursday Two years ago the
house lacked only four votes Of the
necessary two-thirds majority to pass
the bill over the veto. The attempt
having failed in the house, no action
was taken by the senate.
When president Taft vetoed u simi.
lar measure because of the literacy
test the senate succeeded in over.
riding him by more than a two.thirds
majority, but the house fell short
about a dozen votes.

today passed the house last March by
a vote Of SOS to 81, and the senate in
December, by GA to 7.
