B to 40 Horses
 Stolen in Berlin
 Nearly Every Day

Berlin, Sept. 9.-Thirty-five to 40 horses are stolen each day in Ber- lin, and very small percentage are ever returned to the owners despite the creation of special police de- partment to combat this evil. The horses disappear forever because they are usually immediately slaugh- tered and the meat sold through illi- cit trade channels.
 The thieves watch for teams the drivers of which have left them for a moment, and drive the horses away. If the wagons contain anything of value it is stolen and the horses are taken to secret barns and sheds, or even to wooded suburban sections, and killed immediately.
 Insurance companies that used to insure horses and teams will do so no more.

OKLAHOMA STILL
 CONTAINS LARGE
 QUANTITIES. OF OIL
Department of Interior Dis. cusses Conditions of the
 States Soil.

Oklahoma still contains large re- sources of oil to supply in part the increasing demand for the various forms and products of that indispen- sable commodity, says the Press Bulletin of the Interior Department. Coal may be king, but petroleum is prince of mighty power, even if his power is threatened by gradual and irreparable loss and eventual ex- tinction as the result of our tre mcndous demand on it. Battleships. merchant vessels, factories and rail roads are run by oil, and every man who owns motor car wants gaso- line, one of it's most valuable prod ucts.
 The country's stressful need of oil during the war intensified the gov ernmental search for new resources in Oklahoma, and early in 1918 the geologists of the United States Geo. logical Survey, Department of the h. terior, with the cooperation of the Office of Indian Affairs, concentrat- ed part of their efforts on the Os age Reservation, in which there were many large unleased bodies of land thdt PIoOdOly Woulu yleIu OH. AfCer the armistice was signed this work was continued, and 20 reports on the results of the investigations made have now been published. Three reports are printed as chapters of the Geological Surveys Bulletin 686, entitled Structure and Oil and Gas Resources of the Osage Reserva- tion, Oklahoma" Chapter T, just issued, relates to T. 27 N, R. II B.. in the northeastern part of the reser- vation near Bartlesville. The report describes the beds of rock that are exposed at the surface in this area and those that underlie the Surface but have been penetrated by we'll bcrings, gives details of the thick. ness, productivity, and area of the oil-yielding beds, sketches the man. ner in which the beds have been fold ed into anticlines and synclines, and thus indicates the most likely places for oil and gas to accumulate.
 A copy of Bulletin 6S6-T may be obtained free of charge by applying to the director of the U. s. Geologic al Survey, at Washington, D. c.

68O WELLS SPOUT 139,00O BARRELLS0 OF
 CRUDE OIL DAILY
Few Dry Holes Among the 35 Wells Drilled in Stephens
 Co. in September.

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct. 11.-There was found by careful check to be csc wells in Ranger, Desdemona and Ste phen county fields producing total of ,O00 barrels of oil daily dur ing the first week of October.
 Ranger has BIO wells with prod uction of 64,000 barrels; Desdemona l75 wells with a total production of 30,o00 barrels daily and the various fields in Stephens county had 195 wells with a delivery of 44,500 bar rels of oil every "A hours.
 Fifteen new wells were drilled to the sand during the last 15 days in Desdemona and four in Stephens county during the same period. Ran ger scored only three dry holes, Des- demona seven and Stephens one. Sev- eral wells were drilled in each field to the sand depth, but were not brought in because of no transporta- tlon facilities to remove the oil. Wet weather also delayed operations in all three fields, particularly in Ste. phens county, where there are no railroads and all material is hauled by trucks and teams. It is possible to take all the oil being produced in the three big fields, the daily produc- tlon figures being produced in the three big fields, the daily production figures would be materially increas- ed above 139,O00 barrels.
 The Breckenridge and Caddo fields are now practically linked together. The average production of the Ste phens county wells is now greater than that of Ranger wells. There arc 160 wells in an area approximate ly 20 miles square. Only II of the wells that have been brought in are not producing. Two or three of these are isolated pools, not really in the fields and others of the II are merely shut down for shooting.

OIL MEN EXPECT
 OLD PRICES WILL
 i. BE SOON RESTORED
Recent Cut in Burkburnett Crude Que to Lack of
 Pipe Lines.

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct. 11.-Oi] men in this section predict that the price reduction on Burkburnett crude from $2.25 to $2. per barrel, which was inaugurated during the past week, will not remain in effect for many days. It is claimed that the reduction is direct result of over production and lack of pipelines and railroad transportation
 That the transportation promises to improve materially within two or three weeks is indicated by pipe line developments from the field to retin- Ing centers. The Texas-Empire company's 8-inch line from Burk- burnett to Waurika, Okla., has been built across Red rlver and will be ready to deliver oil to tank cars with Tn week. This line will be con- tinued to Healdton.
 The Gulf Pipe Line company's G. inch line has been laid about 75 miles out of Burkburnett toward Fort Worth and will be ready by Decem- Der to serve the small operators. The Sinclair S-inch line from Burk- burnett to Healdton is down for distance exceeding 50 miles, and Woodburn Oil corporation's 4-inch line from Burkburnett to Devol, Okla, will be ready for business in less than 10 days.
 Other than the pipe line relief promised the railroads are making desperate effort to clear up freight congestion in the oil fields in order that tank car service may be improv- ed. In the meantime numerous wells are being held on the sand waiting transportation outlet.
 It is confidently expected that with the completion of the new pipe lines and the elimination of the "scalpers" the former price of $2.25 per barrel will be restored. The cut to $2 was made by pipe line compa- nies only as a matter of self protec- tion after it became known that seal pers were buying oil, for which the producers could find no outlet, for as TOW as $1.35 per barrel

American Work in Prison Camps of
 Russia Finished

Berlin, Oct 7.-The work of the American Red Cross in the Russian prison camps of Germany is finish ed. In response to the orders of Marshal Foch, the Inter-Allied Con- mission and the Red Cross has turn ed over the work to the German au- thorities. It's accomplishment during the past six months has been mainly the care of the Russian prisoners during the most critical time, be- tween the armistice and the period when the blockade was raised and Germany was able to carry on the work without outside assistance. It distributed clothing, medicine and food to camps and hospitals.
 That this work has been appreciat- ed by the Inter-Allied Commission is shown by letter from General Har- ries, chief of the American Military Mission, who wrote thanking the American Red Cross for it's "trul, great achievements in connection with the Russian and other war pris- on camps in Germany
