Washington. Aug. 13.-Federal regu-
lation OF cold storage Of food was
urged in the senate today by Senator
McKellar, democrat, Tennessee, as a
certain means Of reducing the cost Of
living. and as the only remedy for "the
most outrageous piece Of profiteering
that can be imagined"
Speaking in support Of his bill, first
introduced in 1913 and now as re-
introduced before the senate interstate
commerce subcommittee considering
the high cost Of living recommends
tions Of President Wilson, Senator Nc
Kellar said that If the bill had been
passed in 1913 he felt sure the pres
ent conditions as to excessive living
would not exist.
Packers Blamed.
The meat packers we're charged by
the Tennessee senator with using cold
storage facilities to fix prices. TT is
being used by the packers" he said.
for the purpose of controlling prices.
As used by the packers It preserves in
season OF plenty and permits them to
withhold such large quantities Of food
stuffs from the market as to make a

see fit, and thus they increase the
price to the consuming public"
Explaining his bill Senator Nickel
lar said it would limit the time foods
could be held in cold storage, and has
been vigorously opposed by the pack
ers.
Heretofore / have been unable to
get any action on this BILL" said Mr..
Mcclellan. "but am constrained to be-
lieve that under existing conditions we
will get action at this time. My bill
does not fetter cold storage in any
way, but 1t regulates it so that the
people can get the very best benefits
out Of it,
Government Prices Lowered.
To meet reductions recently made
by retailers a new scale Of prices for
surplus foodstuffs was put into effect
today by the war department. Roast
beef was reduced from s213 to $3.50
per six-pound can, bacon from 35 to
81 cents per pound and Nc. 3 cans Of

OIL WELL OUTFIT is
ON THE WAY TO CUYMON
Beaver Oil and Gas Company Has
Purchased Big Rig and Tools for
Putting Down Test Well on the
Charles Miller Ranch.

During the last week stockholders
in the Beaver Oil and Gas Company
have received letters calling for a
80 percent payment on their stock
The letters are sent out from
headquarters at Liberal, and in them
it is explained that the company has
purchased rig and tools for put
ting down test well on their lease
some fifteen miles southeast of Guy
mon on the Charley Miller ranch
The outfit, it is said, consists Of
three carloads of machinery and
tools and the money called in on
stock at this time will be used in
payment of the rig and for develop
ing purposes.
The Beaver Oil and Gas company
is what might be termed local or
ganization. The organizers are all
we'll known, reliable men of Liberal
while the stockholders are scattered
all up and down the Rock Island
at Tyrone, Hooker, Guymon, and a
number in Hansford county. Every
fellow financially interested feels
that he has made a good bet, and
even if he loses his money through
! investing it in a "dry hole" it has
been lost in an honest effort on
the part Of everyone. concerned
to develop the country and ascertain
what Mother Earth contains be-
meath the surface in this locality.
In the opinion Of those best able to
judge, however, the chances for win
ming on these investments are about
80 per cent. The men at the head
of this company are very con-
sentative. After E. c. Warfel,
geologist of no mean ability, had
made a thorough survey Of the To-
cation and expressed the opinion
that oil could be found in large
volume, these gentlemen did not in
duce their friends and fellowmen to
invest with them until they had had
other biologists, among them some
of the best in the United States, to
give this particular location thor
ough investigation. In every in
stance Mr., Warfels findings were
corroborated.
The machinery is expected to ar
rive in Guymon at any time, when
it will be taken at once to the lease
and preparations startel for drilling.
1t has long been thought that both
oil and gas would some day be dis
covered in Texas county, and the
fact that several of the big compan-
les hold thousands of acres under
lease is strong evidence that before
great while this whole country will
be thoroughly tested out. The Bea-
yer Oil & Gas company and the men
behind it are to be congratulated on
being the first to take definite
stand and proceed with the actual
work that everyone has long desired
to see.-Guymon Herald.

Permit Requested for Drilling Close
 to the Royal Duke

EASTLAND, Tex, Dec. 27.-An ap- plication has bene made by the Prairie Oil and Gas company to the railroad commission for a permit to drill a well within 65 feet of the Hanks No. l of the Royal Duke oil company in the Pleasant Grove district of the Ranger Eastand oil field.
 Thos is the first case of this nature to come up for discussion and settle ment since the rule 27 went into eff. feet on November 26, The rule is No well shall be commenced nearer than 300 feet to any other drilling or producing well or nearer than 15O feet to any property line" An agreement will be reached within the next seV- eral days.
 The Prairie Oil and Gas company holds lease on SS acres of the Hanks tract and the Royal Duke company holds a lease on s.6 acres forming an "L" along the north and the west boundaries of the Prairie Oil and Gas company's lease. The company desires to drill an offset to the Hanks No. which is flowing 1900 barrels of oil daily.
 If it is decided that the drilling of this well will in no way injure the adjoining lease it is possible that the permit will be granted.

FINE SHOWING
 OF COPPER BY
 SHEA COMP ANY

Before January 15 the Shea Copper company will be shipping 25 tons of high-grade silver-copper-gold ore daily to the United Verde Extension small ter. The proceeds should more than pay the cost of development on the present scale.
 Temporary ore bins att he foot of the dump are almost finished and q road is being built which will afford easy access to the bins. Completion of bins and road is all that is holding up shipments now.
 Extraordinarily good ore is coming fro mthe raise that is being made from the 320-foot level to the inter section of the east-and-west with he norh-and-south vein. Every shot av erages right around $250 ton. The main values are silver, of course, but the ore carries eight per cent copper and runs about $2O in gold to the ton.
 Not enough work has been done to determine just how much of this ore there is.- The raise has been all in ore pracvtically all the way from the 320 and there is no sign of a wall.
 Today the raise is up about 100 feet from the 320k. Unless all geology fails, the mineralization vii be much heavier there.
 A few days should carry the raise to the intersection of the two ledges as a round of holes is shot every day.

SMALL DEALERS
 SEE BRIGHTER
 COPPERFUTURE

Continued improvement has been shown in the copper market during the hird week of December( says the Boston Financial News, and some large transactions have been recorded with the quotations on this business 1SEc per pound Tor spot deliverq, 1SA to 19c for first quarter next year and a nominal range of from 19 to 19Ac for the second three months of 1920. The latter prices have been bid; but, so far as can be learned, sellers have CTS so far in advance.
 This is believed to be due to a gen. eral view in the trade among the sell CTS that higher prices will prevail at the time deliveries would be made, and as present indications are that the metal will advance from the present levels it is taken to be the best policy to hold off accepting all the future business that is available at the pres ent time.
 One of the features of the market, which has attracted considerable at tention, has been the attitude of some of the smaller dealers. These inter ests have either withdrawn from the market or have put their quotations above those of the leading selling the market are holding firmly for the prices named by the large dealers.
 This is especially significant when it is recalled that ony short time ago these same small sellers were shading the market and caused many consumers to postpone buying in the hope that prices would crumble. Ap- parently the suppl available at low figures has been absorbed and the technical position of the market has been strengthened to this extent
 In addition to the good business from domestic consumers there has been considerable improvement in the export demand. Since the beginning of the month the Copper Export as sociation has been receiving inquiries on lerger scale than in some time. It is estimated in the trade that for
 
 oember have involved approximately 50,000,000 pounds. Of this total Japan purchased almost one-half and the re- mainder was taken by England, France and Germany in the order named.
 Of course this amount is consider ably under what would have been nor nal shipments for a similar period in normal year before the war, but in view of the many reports of the large surplus of the metal carried in the various countries, especially those in volved in the past war, the buying is attracting consideTabel attention. It is maintained that if the various sories abou the big surplus tbroad had been accurate, European nations would not be in the domestic market at the pres ent time.
 Consumers are known to be optimis. tic regarding the future of the mar ket.

MONTANA MINES !. ARE OPEN AGAIN

After a suspension of more than a week of it's mines and smelters in Montana, thereby throwing out of employment 12,0OO employees, Anacon- da copper has resumed operations in all departments, now that sufficient supply of coal is assured. While it is almost impossible for any mining com start Immediately operations on the same scale as existed before such a suspension. Anaconda's closing was of such a short duration that not much trouble is anticipated Tn getting back it's former normal capacity.
 This closing, however, should be reflected in the copper output for De cember, when production figures are published in the first week of next month. In November, Anaconda re- ported production of 14,120,000 pounds, and it is almost sabfe to assume htta December's total should not be much higher than 10,0O0,O00 pounds, unless the management should take meas ures to increase output during the re- maining days of this month.
 Because of the decreased production which has been going on for some time, and the rather dark outlook which the mining companies were fac ing, coupled with limited demand for the natal, reports eminating from certain quarters were to the effect that prospects of a reduction in the $4 uer annum rate were probable.
