GALLoUPE PROCESS PROVES
EFFICIENT AND ECONOMICAL

The following article taken from
the Grand Junction Sentinel is OF
such importance to the people of this
section that we reprint 1t for the bene-
lit Of our readers. Many people. not
only Of this vicinity. but in Western
Colorado. are watching with keen in
terest the development OF the oil
shale Industry. Apparently the Gal
loupe process has accomplished much
in this direction. The story is as
Follows:
Two events of major Importance
TO the oil shale industry OF western
Colorado and eastern Utah have oc-
CURED recently, first the passage of
tho oil land leasing bill by congress.
which insures the perfecting OF titles
TO oil shale lands OF which there are
millions OF acres over the two states.
and second. the perfection OF the Gal.
loupe report and the erection OF the
first unit OF the Gailoupe plant by the
Western Shale Oil company. on their
extensive holdings near Watson,
Ut,Ih. With land titles assured and
an economic and efficient method
OF education now available. the ad
vancement OF the oil shale industry
to one of tho first magnitude over
the west will be rapid.
Since early last fall. workmen for

| of the gas to prevent overheating.
The spent shale as it leaves the re-
| tort also passes through the fire
box, consuming much of the carbon.
1t is conveyed through the fire box
on an endless carrier CRATE, thus
not only dispensing with the spent
the heat it contains.
Another feature of great value is
that the plant is practically automa-
tic, thus saving much in labor. From
the time the shale leaves the crush
er for the, shale bin, it is handleed
automatically, only being handled by
hand in the quarrying and to the
jaws of the crusher. In the condens-
er rooms below there is only the
furnace heat to be regulated, thus
permitting one or not to exceed two
men doing the work in a plant of
one hundred or more tons daily ca
pacity. Careful estimates place the
cost of a barrel of oil produced
through this process at not to ex-
coed one dollar and it may go even
much lower than that figure. o. P.
Kolmer. graduate of the Illinois
State University and later of Colum-
bia University, and who is now de-
voting his entire time to engineer
ing questions in the shale industry
is at this time conducting further
tests at the plant to determine more
fully the cost of production and the
speed at which the plant should be
operated to secure a maximum of eff
ficiency. The efficiency tests now
being conducted are to determine the
percentage of the whole oil content
to be conserved with reference to the
maximum throughout and the con-
servation of the most valuable por-
ton of the oil from a commercial
standpoint At the time of the recent
tests ninety-five per cent of the oil
was being extracted from the shales
and the present efficiency tests will
show whether it will prove profitable
to secure a great extraction or
whether that is the maximum in eco
nomical operation.
When installed complete, gasoline
will be extracted from the gas be-
tween the condensers and the fire
box, thus conserving this value and
adding much TO the profit of opera
ton The remainder of the gas will
be used in heating, in lighting the
plant. or for any other purpose ne
cessary. With a complete plant of
100 tons capacity in operation there
will be much more gas than will be
necessary for the firing of the furn-
aces.
Mr.. Galloups is at this time in
Denver arranging for the Immediate
erection of many additional units,
the plans of the Western Shale Oil
company calling for a plant of 500
tons daily capacity. These retorts
will be set in groups of three to give
economy of operation and several
units in addition to the one now in
daily operation will be in use dur
ing the spring.
In addition to their plant, ths
Western company has erected com

MILITARY WORK IF
 VALUE IN SCHOOLS

In the high schools where military training is being featured there is a noticeable improvement in the morale over the high schools where there is no military work, according to Capt E. $. Linton, who has just returned from survey of the high schools in the southern part of the state
 Captain Linton declares that where there are well disciplined cadets the pupils are doing higher grade work in the schools and the general attitude toward the faculty and student body is of higher character.
 He declared that he found military affairs in the schools being handled in a thoroughly satisfactory manner.
 Captain Linton announced a rifle match, including three cadets from each school. in Tucson during university week, which will be held in April. He stated that there were approximately 2,960 high school cadets which make up forty-thre companies. He said that as usual a competitive drill would be held at the end of the year, the state cadet colors having been won by the Tempe Normal a year ago.
 During his recent two weeks absence Captain Linton visited the schools of Gilbert, Chandler. Mesa, Tucson, Bis bee. Dougles, Stafford, Clifton, Morenci Globe and Miami.

KENTUCKEY ENTHUSED
 BY HARDING PLEDGES
(By Cnlted Pressl

En Route to Louisville Ky, Oct. II. Crossing the state of Tennessee Senator Harding today entered Ken lucky, to speak from the rear plat form of his train today and then to address Republican rally tonight at Louisville.
 Senator Harding was greeted by good crowds along the line. although the territory is nominally Democrat lc. From indications, his southern au- dlonces have kept pace with listeners In the north, cheering attacks on the league of nations. Cotton planters. discouraged by the slump in prices, apparently took heart from Senator Harding's promise to revise the tariff so that it would apply equally to the south and north.
 kentuckey Republican leaders are optimistic as to the campaigns out cont. Their chief argument is that William H. Taft lost the state to Will liam J. Bryan in 1908 by only 17000 votes, a margin which they are con- fident Senator Harding will overcome in this years election.

 Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 14.-Fears of wholesale destruction of cotton gins were quieted today by the promise of state officials to take prompt action in suppressing the night rider gangs winch have made threats against gin owners.

$500 REWARD FOR
 DOG PO|SONFRS

A reward aggregating $500 in cash has been raised here and will be paid for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or per sons guilty of poisoning several fine dogs in this city on the night of Oc- tober 5. An announcement of the re- ward appears in an advertisement in today's Log Cabin Democrat, and any person having information which might lead to the arrest of the dog poisoners is requested to see the sheriff or constable or one of the deputies, all of whom are working on the ease.
 Owners of valuable dogs in Conway are very much aroused over the out rage and are determined in their ef- forts to bring the guilty persons to trial if it is possible to ascertain their identity. Wholesale poisoning of dogs has occurred here on numerous occa- sions during the past year or two.

OHIO BATTLE STARTS,, COX

(By United Press)

En Route to Van Vert, O., Oct. II. Coy. James M. Cox today fired the first oratorical guns in a three-day drive over Ohio, his home state and also that of Senator Harding. and which the governor has carried three times first the Democratic ticket. Close to the outcome of the presi- dential campaign itself, the struggles between Governor Cox and Senator Harding in their home state will com mand national interest.
 The league of nations will be kept In the foreground of the campaign, the Democratic nominee reiterated. My election will be a mandate from the people to their senate for ratifi- eaton of the league of nations" Gov ernor Cox declared in answer to a statement from eX-President William II. Taft that if the Democratic party should win all possible senatorial seats, it will still lack enough votes to command ratification by the sen ate.
 For the third time since Mir. Taft's statement at Seattle, Governor Cox sharply criticised him for continuing his support of Senator Harding after the nominee came out openly against the league. Governor Cox asserted that in the face of his election on platform openly pledged to endorse ment of the league, the senate, wheth- CT Democratic or Republican, would not dare oppose the outspoken wish of the people. The election is a national referendum on the league of nations, he declared, and it's re- suit should be accepted as such
