The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1919-10-02

The oil fields of Texas re-
semble, in some respects, the
early colonization of the
United States, when a ship
load of men landed on the New
England shores and made
clearings for their tents and
shacks, many of them ex-
pecting to soon make fortunes
and return to their homes and
loved ones in Europe But It
was not long before these
early New England pioneers
began to realize that America
was to be the greatest and
freest country in the world.
and then they began to make
permanent homes and sent for
their loved ones.
The same is true OF the
Texas oil fields. Men came in
to these fields a short time
ago, willing to put up with
any hardship that they might
make quick fortunes and re-
turn home, but this adventu-
rous period is passing. In
stead of the tented towns of
a short while ago. some of the
towns in the oil fields are
growing into substantial little
cities, with hundreds of pretty
homes and we'll graded
streets. The lines of men
standing in front of the post
office windows each day wait
ing for letters from home are
diminishing, for these same
men are now bringing in their
families with the expectation
of becoming citizens and OF
making the oil field cities
their homes permanently.

HARD COAL INQUIRY
Pennsylvania Executive Can
not Understand Proposed
Increase in Price.

HARRISBURG. Pa. Marcn i3.--Gov.
William c. Sproul tonight addressed a
letter to Acknowledgment William J.
Schaffer. asking what powers are vested
in the state Government to inquire as to
the cause for the proposed advance in
the price of anthrac cite after mild win
ter and when mines are on short time
because Of a lesscning of demand and
suggesting that II II is necessary to Sc
cure authority that the matter might be
referred to the Legislature, which is now
In session. He asked the Attorney-Gen-
eral for his recommendation in the mat
ter. The Governor letter is as follows:
81 am gravely concerned over the pub
lished reports regarding a further I'M
crease in the cost to the consumer OF an
thracte coal. Following an unusually
mild winter when the consumption OF
coal. and especially of the domestic sizes,
has been much below normal. and at
time when the siackening OF industry is
certainly having its effect in the use Of
steam sizes of anthracite. I am at a loss
to understand the commercial or eco
nomic justification for increasing the
price of coal now. I understand indeed
that some OF the mines in the anthracite
region are on short time on account or
the lessenng demand for coal and YET
we are advised that some Of the princi-
pal companies have already announced
very material increase in the price at
which anthracite will be sold TO consuih-
ers.
