2 OIL STORAGE TANKS
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING

storage tanks struck by lightning
on the Midwest Refining COM
pany's tank farm near here early
this afternoon, are blazing fiercely
tonight. Efforts of scores of work.
men to check the flames so far
have failed. Three men on the
tanks when the lightning struck
jumped to the ground. Two were
slightly injured.
Six streams Of water and two
lines of liquid fire eXtinguisher
are playing on the flames without
apparent effect. The oil is being
pumped out Of the tanks az rapidly
as possible. Officials of the COM
pany would not estimate the loss
beyond saying that if only half If
the oil is saved the loss will be
$4,000.
Workmen are throwing up
twelve-foot dirt walls to prevent
flames spreading to other tanks.
Todays fires make eleven oil
tanks destroyed by lightning since
June II.
Just before midnight both tanks
boiled over while the fire eXtin-
guisher liquid was shot into the
flames. The blaze leaped several
hundred feet into the air above
the tanks, lighting the country
for miles around.
The fire in one Of the 10000
barrel tanks was believed under
control Oil was being pumped
from them at the rate of 1000
barrels an hour.

AGRICULTURE SLUMP
TO Be INVESTIGATED
BY ROAD BUREAU MEN

At the request of the secretary
of agriculture, the district engi-
neer of the bureaL or public roads
will commence an inquiry through
out New Mexico and Arizona as to
the causes of the present slump in
agriculture. The inquiry is to be a
general one throughout the United
States.
The investigation will seek to
determine six things, as follows:
The cause of the present condition
of agriculture; the reason for the
difference between the price paid
for the consumer, and those re-
ceived by the producer; compart-
sen of conditions in other indus
tries with those in agriculture; re-
lation of prices of non-agricultural
and agricultural commodities; con-
dition of bank finances and credits,
especially as affecting farmers. and
conditions OF marketing and trans
portation facilities of the country.
The investigation, which is ex-
pected to Occupy about two months,
will be carried on simultaneously
throughout the country by various
governmental departments.

TIJERAS CROSSING
HAS WATCHMAN NOW

No longer will it be necessary for
every motorette to get out of the
car at the Tijeras avenue railroad
crossing and look up and down the
tracks for approaching trains. A
Waterman has been stationed at
that crossing who will be on duty
every day from a. m. until 10 p.
m.
The new Waterman has been
stationed there by the Santa Fe
railroad, as a result of the ordl-
nance passed last Wednesday by
the CITY commission, prohibiting
trains from passing Tijeras avenue
between the hours of Z a. m. and
10 p. m. unless a Waterman is on
duty. The ordinance did not take
effect legally until August IS.
The city commission had previ
ously requested the state corpora
ton commission to have the rail-
road put a Waterman at the Tijeras
crossing, but no action was taken.

ST. LOUIS BIDS FOR
WHOLESALE BUSINESS
BY LOW FREIGHT RATE

Inaugurating a campaign of dis
play advertising calculated to build
up wholesale business, the mer-
chants of st. Louis are appealing
to merchants of the southwest to
buy from st. Louis wholesale hous-
es, since that center has shorter
freight haul to two-thirds of the
United States than has Chicago or
New York.
New Mexico. in common with
Colorado and Texas, is in a district
where the freight rates from st.
Louis are 20 cents under those from
Chicago and rs to $1.84 from New
York City. Arizona also has cheap
er freight rates from st. Louis.
Upon the basis of these savings
in freight, the merchants of the
Missouri city are urging that To-
cal merchants consider the trade
possibilities of st. Louis. A cam
paign of advertising is being con-
Quoted in an effort to acquaint
