PIPE LINES
FOR OIL
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
MILES OF PIPE FROM
RANGER FIELD

DALLAS, Texas, Feb. 3. = This
is an era of pipeline building in
Texas and the big oil companies are
spending millions rushing lines to
the new oil fields to provide out
lets to the Gulf of Mexico.
One company is building an
eight-inch line due west from Cor
sicana, Tex, to the Ranger field,
a distance of 12O miles. At Cor
sicana it connects with the two
pipe Magnolia line from Oklahoma
to tidewater. In the oil field it
goes direct to De Leon. The ca
pacity of an eight-inch line is ap-
proximately 10000 barrels every
"a hours.
Other companies are building or
have built lines from Ranger to
Fort Worth and Saltillo. One line
from Ranger to Cushing, Okla, is
being doubled.

WESTERN MINERS
DISCUSS COPPER
SECRETARY WILSON CONFERS
WITH WORKERS REPRE-
SENTATIVES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1. =
Working conditions in the copper
industry during the period of
transition from a war to a peace
basis were discussed by Secretary
Wilson and other officials of the
department of labor yesterday, with
SO representatives Of workers in
the mines, mills and shelters of
Arizona, Utah and Montana.
The conference developed only
a preliminary presentation of views.
1t gave conditions said to have
arisen in the copper industry since
the abnormal war demand has sub
sided. This is reflected in a de-
cline of prices and a reduction of
from 20 to 80 per cen in the num-
Der of men employed.
All information in possession of
the government bearing on the in
dustry will be furnished the dele
gates to the conference, which

UNIQUE PENINS ULA TO SOUTH Is
GIVEN PROMINENCE BY CONGRESS

for it is a jagged peninsula, 100
miles long, varying in width from
so to $50 miles, and ~traversed
throughout it's length by an ir-
regular range of barren mountains
of volcanic origin, breaking off
abruptly on the gulf side and
rambling off in a series of low
hills to the Pacific coast. 1t has
been described by it's most recent
explorer as "a land great in its
past and lean in its present. A
land where the ratttlesnake and the
sidewinder, the tarantula and the
scorpion multiply, and where sick
ness is unknown and fivescore
years no uncommon span of life.
A land of strange contradictions.
While a territorial state of Mex
leo, it nowhere touches other Mex
lean soil, being separated from the
mainland by the waters of the Col
orado river and the Gulf of Cali
fornia. In 1910 the population of
the entire peninsula was given at
52,244. There is but n railroad
in the country, aside from mine
tramways, and that one, from Mex
icali to Yuma, but 63 miles in
length. The "caminos," or
roads, of the mission days have
fallen into wretched state and in
many places have been practically
obliterated.
The peninsula is rich in mineral
wealth, at least one of it's silver
mines in the southern district, hav-
ing been operated since 174S. Gold,
silver, copper, iron, coal, lead,
gypsum and salt are found, valua-
able marble for building is every
where abundant. Mining experts
agree that the mineral
have hardly been scratched.

IN RUSSIA
SANITARY COMMISSION ESTAB-

PITAL
vLADIvosToK, Feb. 8. - ,

VLADIVOSTOK, Feb. 3. - To
combat an outbreak of typhus at
Nikolsk, which has assumed dan
gerous proportions, the inter-allied
sanitary commission has decided to
establish a hospital there with a
capacity of 200 beds. The epidem-
ic is a result of the coming to
Nikolsk of a train of Bolshevik
and political prisoners a month ago
from Samara. A number of cases
were found among the prisoners
when the American Red Cross in
vestigated and started relief work.
Since then they have multiplied
until the situation has become one
of concern to the allied forces in
Siberia.
DR.. Seliesneff, surgeon of the
military hospital in Nikolsk, will
be placed in charge of the propos-
ed hospital and the Red Cross will
supervise the establishment. DR..
F. r. Manget, director of the Red
Cross medical bureau in eastern
Siberia, who has just returned
from Nikolsk, reported 100 cases of
the disease already developed. He
estimated the cost of establishing
the hospital at $4,000, and it has
been agreed that the allies would
each bear a share.
DR.. Joshua Rosett, director of
the anti-typhus expedition which
is about to leave Vladivostok for
the west, has proceeded in advance
to Nikolsk to arrange for carrying
out the new hospital project.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1. =
Romantic Lower California again
has come into prominence through
the introduction in congress of a
bill looking to the purchase of
that unique peninsula.
"Baja" California, rejected by
the United States after the war
with Mexico as "the tail end of
an earthquake" though recognized
as rich in natural resources, is
least known, according to the few
who have made a scientific study
of the peninsula, of any area of
similar size in the western hemis-
phere.
Lower California, Economically
styled ''The Mother of California"
has figured in modern history for
400 years. 1t was in 1927 that
the Spanish captain-general, Fer
nando Cortez, sent n of Balboa's
veterans, Alvera de Saavedra, from
euuduIcpCC, VII liz WCOt NOoot VI
Mexico, with instructions to try to
find a strait supposed at that time
to form a link in a route from Mex
leo, or New Spain, as it was then
known, to the newly discovered
Spice islands, known to later gen.
erations as the Philippines.
From Cortez' time down to the
present there have passed in re-
view through the pages of Lower
C%alifornia's history Spanish con-
querors, Jesuits, Dominicans and
Franciscans and plunderers from
many lands; United States troops
during the war with Mexico, fill
busters intent on setting up an in
dependent government, and lastly
the contending factions for suprem-
acy in Mexico's national admins
tration since the overthrow of Por-
firio Diaz as president.

who, with the late Cecil Rhodes,
founded the British South Africa,
or Chartered, company. George
Cawston had very wide views re-
garding the development of South
Africa under the British flag, but
disagreed with some of the meth
DDS used to bring it about. His
disapproval of the policy which led
up to the famous Jameson raid
was so strong that he resigned
from the board of the Chartered
company.

milk, bananas and raisins, which
he declared to be an ideal diet.

the interior.
The working class during the
last year wasted rice. They were
earning large Marriages and were
able to leave their scantier diet
of coarse sweet potatoes and the
like, and eat as much first-class
rice as they wanted. If they are
compelled to return to their old
diet it is feared they may become
tumultous. Some predict that rice
will reach the equivalent of 81 a

BIG TIMES COMING.

It will not be long now till the world will settle down to business. The great brainy men of most all na- tions, who are assembled over in France have the great problems be- tween nations to be acted upon by the different governments of the world. Our illustrious president, Woodrow Wilson, and Vittorio Orlando, the Ital- ian premier, have been having a lit- tie difference of opinion as to the possession of Plume. This now has practically been settled and the peace conference is now almost ready to make their report and then, if accept ed by Germany, the world will begin ! to move as it never did before. Mili- tarism will be abolished, one man power will be no more. All nations will have democratic form of gov ernment, and after the reconstruction is over the United States will be the greatest nation in the world and our president will soon return home to these United States and perhaps he will reassemble our National Congress soon for the great questions of the day need attention. The Labor ques-
 tion, the railroad question as to own
 ership, freedom of the Philippine Is-
 lands, the national prohibition ques-
 tion, and the financial question, and
 many others to be brought before our Congress. In every state in the Union let's get next to our congressman and tell them they must represent the people. If they do not represent the
 majority of the people let's not SUD- port the at the next election.
