Held.
The Lone Star Gas Com
pany has had plenty of money
with which to build new lines.
1t was paid a million and half
dollars by the United States
Government for the right to
extract helium from its gas in
the Petrolia field. On Decem-
ber 81, 1919, 1t had a capital
surplus of $3,353,150 and a re-
serve for depreciation and de-
pletion amounting to $3,777,-
648.49, and undivided profits
amounting to 81, ,198,992.13,
which it could use In building
extensions. Heretofore 1t has
paid dividends from 10 to IL
per cent per annum, and set
aside a surplus besides. For
years the Oklahoma Natural
Natural paid no dividend, dur
ing some years it paid only a
per cent dividend, and the
largest dividend it has ever
paid has been 8 per cent, and
it has no surplus, no reserve
and no undivided profits.
The Lone Star Gas Com
pany was just as short Of gas
last winter as the Oklahoma
Natural was. It was not PEN
allied, however, as was the
Oklahoma Natural. On the
contrary, the cities which it
served have voluntarily raised
their rates 17lac a thousand in
order that it could get the gas.
The Corporation Commission
Of Oklahoma, on the other
hand, assessed an enormous
judgment for rebates against
the Oklahoma Natural.
The cities in Texas pay
67lSc a thousand for Okla
homa Gas. Ottawa, Topeka
and Kansas City in Kansas,
and Kansas City and st. Jo-
seph, Missouri, pay 80c a thou
sand for Oklahoma gas. Is it
any wonder that those compa-
MES are able to build lines to
new fields?
Not only is the Oklahoma
Natural required to suffer that
discrimination against it, but
in addition to that, it has been
made the target Of all the mis-
representations and abuse that
could possibly be heaped upon
it, in an endeavor to poison
the public's mind against it.
From November, 1919, up to
the present time, the company
has had almost weekly to ap-
pear before the Corporation
Commission and answer COM
plants filed against it, some
seeking to reduce the pitiful
48c rate, and others seeking to
penalize it in other ways. The
time of some of its officers has
been SO engrossed in preparing
for the numerous hearings had
upon the numerous complaints
filed before the Corporation
Commission, and in actually
appearing there, that they
have not had much time to de-
vote to anything else.
A short time ago a large
well was brought in in Garvin
County. That well is forty
miles from the Oklahoma Nat,
ural Gas Company's line. We
understand that the Lone Star
is now building a line IL miles
long to that well. The Okla
homa Natural has been asked
why it did not acquire that
we'll and build a line to it. To
this it has two answers to
make. 1t built a line in 1918
n

days ago entitled Our Gas
Goes to Texas" in whcih it
was stated that gas production
was increasing in Carter, Gar
vim, Stephens and Cotton
Counties, and that the Lone
Star Gas Company, which
sells Oklahoma gas in Texas.
is more active in developing
and acquiring gas in southern
Oklahoma than is the Okla
homa Natural Gas Company.
Inasmuch as that article
drew purported partial COM
parison between the two gas
companies, the comparison
ought to be made complete
and correct.
The Oklahoma Natural Gas
Company is acquiring all the
gas accessible to its lines in
southern Oklahoma which it
can acquire. 1t is not building
any long extensions to its pipe
lines, for the reason that it has
not the money with which to
build the same and can not
get it.
In 1917 the Oklahoma Nat
ural spent 1914, 900 in building
new lines. In 1913 it spent
$1,632,000 in building new
lines. In 1919 it spent 81, ,419,-
900 in building new lines. This
makes a total of $4,025,000
the Oklahoma Natural has
spent in the last three years in
building new lines to reach
new gas fields. During the
same three years its aggregate
income over and above its
ordinary operating expenses,
and not counting the expendi-
lures in new lines as an ex-
pense, was $2,554,000, or
$1,471,000 less than its ex-
penditures in building new
lines. The lines it built in
1917 to the Morrison field,
costing 974,000, the gas in
that field having been practic-
ally exhausted, are now worth
less except for what they will
bring as junk. This $4,025,-
900 invested in new lines in
the last three years was new
money put into the business by
the stockholders of the Okla
homa Natural. The lines were
not built out of earnings. 1t is
obvious that the company can
not continue each year to
spend more money than it
takes in. It's business must be
self-supporting or it must be
abandoned.
The Lone Star Gas Com
pany had its lines established
in the southern field and had
acquired a large gas acreage
there before the Oklahoma
Natural built its lines south.
The Lone Star Gas Company
is financially able to build new
lines, while the Oklahoma
Natural Gas Company last
year did not earn enough, after
paying its usual and ordinary
operating expenses, to take
care of its depreciation and
depletion.
While the Oklahoma Natur-
al Gas Company was getting a
rate of Slice a thousand and
4Oc a thousand for gas, the
cities of Dallas and Fort
Worth, Texas, were paying
the Lone Star Gas Company
SOC a thousand for gas. Some
months ago the Corporation
Commission of Oklahoma
raised the Oklahoma Naturals
price to 48c a thousand. Two

THE GREATEST THING
IN THE WORLD.

AT the home Of DR. w G. Hope
the Ten Dons held their fortnightly
meeting last Tuesday evening. After
one of those celebrated dinners for
which the wives of the Dons have
become famous In their sixteen
years experience, an exceptionally
fine paper was read by z. b. Cristy
on The Greatest Thing in the
World" The writer Kept his hear
ers in suspense for some time as
to what the greatest thing is but
finally revealed the fact that he be-
lieved there was nothing that sur
passed faith" in the experiences
of life. In the interesting discus
sion that followed It developed that
there was a difference Of opinion
as to the greatest thing in the
world, some placing hope in the
lead others believing that love
surpasses both faith and hope. The
guests of the evening were DIT.

Gel EBRATED GRAND
OPERA SINGER COMING.

Florence Macbeth, among Ilt
first rank of American singers, will
be heard in Albuquerque April at
the high school auditorium under
the auspices of the Fortnightly
Music club. Miss Macbeth's con-
cert will be second Of three attrac-
lions secured by the Fortnightly,
and of which the city has had the
benefit. Miss Macbeth has just
closed a season with the Chicago
opera association and is considered
one of the most important singers
presented by them in New York
this season.
The Musical Leader says Of her;
"a splendid cast was offered IN
The Barber of Seville Miss Mac
beth, whose sudden rise to first
rank is more phenomenal than that
of any other American singer in re-
cent years, sang Rosina. and she
proved conclusively that she is de-
serving of all credit. She was fas-
.cinating and enhancing. youthtui
and beautiful, and her voice was
clear and brilliant" and her per-
Torrance in "LElisir D'Amore'
was wonderful,
Miss Macbeth is a young singer
whose future promises to rival that
of any OF her most successful older
sisters: technically she can do any
thing or all that any of them can
do and added to this accomplish
ment or gift she has youth, beauty
or person and of voice. and a pen
chant for work. She is dainty,
charming and appealing and Is as
artistic in her acting as in her
singing; she was ideal in the role of
Adina.'
Miss Macbeth's wonderful facil-
tty and beautiful voice, together
with her charm Of personality,
have made of her a most remark
able success and favorite. Albu--
oueruue is to be congratulated
npon the opportunity of hearing
her. Widest enthusiasm has greet
ed her appearances. audiences re-
fusing to leave. She has made trl-
umphant tours of this country ana
of scotland and England, every
where sold-out houses and audi
ences thrilled and enraptured with
the little American singer.

OLD ALBUQUERQUE, BACK
GROIND IOR COMIC OPERA.

1t is not generally known that
ola Albuquerque furnished the
back ground" for n comic opera,
but such is the case. Ion Arnold,
who has been visiting with the j.
M. Hawkins family. and who is
brother of Mrs. Hawkins. for the
past week. spent three weeks here
in 1883 and wrote the opera. Arm
old was a young man then and
gathered all the color in Old Town.
The opera was unique in that 1t
dealt with the cowboy and plain
instead of the Oriental spiendor-
variety and it was tried "on the
dogs" in the Old Tivoli theater IN
san Francisco under the name of
Yetiva. 1t was so well received
that it had an eight-weeks run. 1t
was taken east and played there
with splendid success but re-chris-
tened "A Trip to the Rockies"

PLow OR DISK sTUBBLE
AFTER CROP Is REMovkD
II Cultivated Crops Are to Follow
Good Method 4 to Disk Land
After Grain Is OF.

One of the best ways to handle
stubble fields on dry lands is to
disk the stubble as soon as possible
after the crop is removed. accord
ing to Professor Kezer, Colorado
Agricultural College. II the land
is to be put back into fall wheat,
plowing should be done immediate
ly. The earlier the plOwing Is
done, the better the chances Of get
ting crop. This is due to the fact
that nature requires some time to
properly settle and compact the
seed bed.
II the stubble land is to be put
into cultivated crops the following
year, q good method to follow and
q cheap one is to use the litter
just as soon as the grain is off II
possible. This is one Of the cheap
est methods of controlling weeds
and putting the land In shape to
catch moisture. 1t also Is very
good way to control blowing.
