LINCOLN

April 10.-Mr. Hill from Brooten
moved out on the Paulson place this
week. He had two carloads OF farm
machinery and car of stock. This is
q farm that he bought last year. There
is a good part of it under cultivation
and there is no reason but that he will
make good if he works, and from ap-
pearances the whole family are work
ers.
The town board Of Scandal Valley re-
fused to do anything on the Judicial
road that was laid out more than two
years since between Scandal Valley and
Fawn Lake towns on the county line
between Todd and Morrison counties.
Fawn Lake will give 800, although 1t
is no benefit to settlers Of that town,
while it is benefit to the people of
Lincoln, especially the business men.

towns that he is going to fence his land
and then they cannot get to town with

A party who lives in the edge Of Todd
county tried to dodge our constable,
Dan Randall, who he had heard had a
summons to serve on him, by keeping
out Of town, but Dan laid for him and
served the summons just the same.

KAHN URGES HOUSE
TO DROP JEALOUSY
AND SPEED DRAFT

An inspiring appeal to the American
people to forget sectional yealousIeS
and unite in the common cause OF
triumph over Germany was made in
the House this afternoon by Con-
gresham Julius Kahn in leading the
Administration fight for amendment
OF the selective draft law.
THE German people must be de-
feated for the sake Of our own peace
and the cOntentment Of the Ameri-
can people on this Western Hemi-
sphere" Kahn declared
This is not the war Of any single
State or Congressional district. II is
the nations war. Even IL slight ir.
equalities occur in some sections in
taking the next draft. that fact ought
not to be considered when the very
life of the nation is involved in this
struggle.
In this crisis I hold that no man
should take such a narrow view OF
the situation as TO want to make a
night against this legislation because
his district may have furnished a
few more men than some other dis
trict. II any member should be de
feated in the elections the country
will still be able to survive. There
are none Of us of such importance
that our defeat would be a calamity.
But the country's defeat would be a
calamity"

TO DRAW NEW.
ORDINANCE TO.
PUT AN END TO.
TAXI CRUISING
BY BILL PRICE.

The District Commissioners. aided
by the Police Department. are today
trying to frame a new police reguia-
tion that will put a stop to crab
bing," cruising" or "circling" by
public automobile drivers.
If you do not get the exact drift
OF these words. stop at the Union
in which is situated the Willard Hotel
The performance you will see will in
terest you. The game has been going
on a long time, and police authorities
have been unable to break it up.
The automobile drivers have beaten
them in the courts right along. So a
new and stringent regulation is to be
adopted. legal machinery of the Dis
trict government believing that it
will hold in the courts. Adoption OF
the regulation was expected at the
regular meeting of the Commissioners
today.
In front of the Willard Hotel Is a
stand for automobiles engaged in
transportation of the public. 1t is
generally filled W tn machines. MosI
of the taxi drivers, however, do not
find it good business to stand there
and wait for business. So they sim
ply circle the block, slowly moving in
front Of the hotel to pick up passen-
gers who may jump out Of the front
door in a hurry to be hustled to some
point in the city. Once out of fifeen
or twenty times they get customer,
but when they do not they just keep
moving, proceeding west along Penn
sylvania avenue to Fifteenth, north
on Fifteenth to 7, east on + to Four
teenth. down Fourteenth to the Ave
nue-eternally circling, circling, for
business.
At times there are veritable pro-
cessions of them. The police claim
that they contribute greatly to the
congestion in that part of the city
and endanger the lives OF pedestrians.
The opening of the new Washing
ton Hotel, facing the Treasury on
Fifteenth street, affords additional
temptation for Grabbing" When the
establishment is open on all floors
ii will give the public hackmen
much more business. inasmuch as 1t
has 500 rooms for a class Of people

Pedestrians Do Fancy DodEinE.
Pedestrians north or south bound

at that point Within one hour one
day sixty machines with the familiar
For Hire" sign on them. swung
around that corner bound east on L
street, with twice as many machines
privately owned.
The police claim that Union Station
is worse than the Willard and Wash
ington Hotel block. The same cir
cling goes on all the time, the OBJ
Ject being the man or woman who
will not take time to hunt up q ma
chine placed at a stand.
The only police regulation avail
able for cases against the circlers is
an old one prohibiting standing or
lettering" and an old decision OF the
District Court OF Appeals holds that
a driver is not lettering when he
moves slowly along; that he has the
right OF the streets so long as he
does not violate laws or regulations
One OF the JUDGES declared that the
police should provide stands.
These decisions were rendered when
Washington was a good old city OF
less than 100000 population and be-
fore the war filled the streets with
people and vehicles. adding more
than 100000 more people.
Recently the police began a plan OF
revoking the licenses Of drivers
habitually engaged in Grabbing"
after warning had been given. The
Commissioners agreed with the police
and did revoke the licenses of several
drivers. The men went to the courts
and obtained injunctions against the
revocation, claiming II to be a con-
hscation OF their rights and an in
justice when they were not guilty of
violating any existing law. Their at
torneys are confident that they can
beat the District government at this
game.
Therefore the resort OF the Com
missioners is to draw a new regula-
tion which they hold they have power
to make and which they say will
abate Objectionable and dangerous
elements.
The drivers, about three hundred of
them, claim that they are exceedingly
careful in their movements. avoid
accidents, and find moving necessary,
because there is not room for them
all to stand in the streets.

Louisiana Clay.

Louisiana has an abundance OF clay
that is suitable for use as building mate
rial. The increasing cost of lumber must
soon bring other building materials into
more general use. and Louisiana is for
tunate in having large quantities of
CLAWS that are adapted to making brick
and other structural materials. Clays
suitable for the manufacture OF common
building brick can be found in the vlcin-
ity of nearly all the cities and towns
in the state, and terra Gotta for fire.
proofing can be made from the clays of
Baton Rouge and Slidell, which are near
the city of New Orleans, where fireproof
material should find ready market.
Some of the clays. notably those at
Sidel and Winfield, burn buff instead
of red and therefore furnish pleasing
product for ornamental work. Doubtless
Similar CLAWS could be obtained at other
localities The CLAWS at many places III
Louisiana can be used for making paw

THE CLEVELAND GAS FIELD.
The Geology of Gas Accumulation There
Explained.

Ohio has long been large producer
# natural gas, but the gas in Cuyahogs
county, which is in the northeastern part
If the state, has only recently been com
nerciallv exploited The exploitation OF
he Cleveland field began early in 1912
With the completion of several successful
wells in the western part of the city OF
Cleveland. Within four years more than
400 wells, most of which were successful,
sad been drilled in an area of about %
,quare miles. This field is of special in
erest because it is close to a great man
1facturing city that has long been con
,mmer of large quantities of natural gas.
Most of the wells in the Cleveland
ieId drew their supplies from the so
alled Clinton sand, productive reser-
roir of gas that lies in belt extending
,outhward through the east central part
ST the state. Although no evidence has
ret been found to show that the Cleve-
and field is directly connected with 9th
n fields in this belt, ii is at the northern
Extremity of the gelt and is geologlcaliy
related to them During the latter half
IF 1915 the Cleveland field was extend
"a somewhat to the southwest into re.
yion where prospecting is now most ac.
live. a small pool has been exploited
lust south of Berea, which lies IA miles
southwest of Cleveland, and further ex.
ensions in that direction would connect
The Cleveland field with the belt of fields
10 the south.
Geologic structure has evidently been
he broad controlling factor in the ac-
emulation of gas in the Cleveland field,
though the porosity of the gas sand has
,lso played an important part. A knowl-
.dge of the factors that have led to the
accumulation at Gle yeland should be of
raue to those who are attempting to
ind extensions OF the field.

the Cleveland field, where it has led to
considerable financial loss
One Of the most important problems
confronting the gas producing industry
is that of determining the smallest num-
Der of wells capable Of removing most
economically all the gas under given
tract of land so many complex factors
enter into this problem that few system
attic attempts have been made to solve
it, and gas operators have in general
been content to accept rought estimates
of the number of wells that should be
drilled per unit of area, In some localities
it is held that only one well should be
drilled to each 500 acres in others it is
customary to drill a we'll in each 20 or
! 40 acres. With present knowledge the
number to be drilled must be 10 some
extent a matter of opinion, and II is very
doubtful whether any limit can be fixed
that will be applicable to all fields.
A Closely Drilled Field is Short Lived.
Those who are familiar with the gas
industry have long realized that close
! " drilled field is short lived and that in
most pools the later wells are less likely
to be profitable than the ca ones. Few
operators, however, have attempted to
determine the reasons for these ccndi
tions. and most of the business men and
others who are occasionally induced to
take flyer" in gas producing snem to
be ignorant Of their existence. Hence,
in many eastern gas fields there are more
wells than are necessary or profitable
and in come fields the wells are crowd
ed so closely that many of them have
never produced enough gas TO pay for
themselves.
The geological study of the Cleveland
field indicates that in most fields the
wells that are brought in after the gen
eral pressure has declined to one-half of
it's original amount are Improbable, and
that in many fields this point may be
reached when the pressure has declined
