Brush Creek field, Cumberland
county, was here during the
week FOR the purpose of inspect
ing the territory and arranging
for drilling operations which
they expect to begin in the near
future. Mr.. Van Sickle is a
well-posted man in the business,
and he has great faith in this
section becoming a productive
oil field. He and his associates
expect to spend large sum of
money in developing their hold
ings in the territory.
Advices come from The Hague
that the Dutch parliament on
July l, by a vote of 81 to 8,
adopted the Djambi Oil bill pro-
viding for the exploitation of the
va liable Djambi oil fields for a
period of forty years. by a COM
bination of the Dutch Indian
government and the Batavia Oil
Company. By adoption of the
bill American interests are ex-
cluded from exploitation in the
Djamba fields.
BIG REFINERY PROPOSED FOR
BAKERToN.
Messrs. Frank Richardson and
E. I. kemper, of this city, were
in Lexington during the past
week in conference with parties
looking to the erection OF a large
and up-to-date refining plant to
be located at Bakerton, just
across the river from the Brush
Creek field. Representatives of
eastern and northern capitalists,
who met them there, assured
them that the necessary funds
for the prosecution of the enter
prise would be forthcoming just
as soon as they were provided
with all details. An experienced
and competent engineer will be
sent here the first of this week
for the purpose of making a sur.
vey of the territory, and in draw
ing plans and figuring estimates
of cost, ETC., and the work will
be pushed to the limit. 1t is
understood that the scheme car
ries with it the installation of a
gasoline boat and barges with
which to market product along
Cumberland river, and tank
trucks to serve the interior dis
tricts and towns. The plant is
expected to be in full operation
within the next sixty or ninety

country that the prices on crude
oil have reached bottom. and
that there will be a steady and
substantial upward trend in
prices from now on. This is en-
couraging to operators generally.
Mr.. Hugo Burgheim, Cincin-
natl, was here the latter part of
the week negotiationg for the
purchase of drilling rig with
which to operate in the Creals-
boro field. He expects to re-
turn here at an early date to
complete arrangements.
Mr.. Tom W. Weller, Birming-
ham, Ala, Of the firm of Weller
& Company, now operating in
the Greensboro field, visited this
section during the past week.
and he gave out the information
that they expect to continue
drilling operations in this terri
tory uninterruptedly for the
present.
A Florida syndicate is arrang-
ing to begin drilling operations
at once on the F. M. FIatt farm,
located on the north side of the
river a short distance west of
Greensboro. Indications are
promising for a good strike to be
made in that locality.
The Standard Oil Company
have notified the U. S Shipping
Board that it will no longer in
clude Mexican oil in contract
shipments, but will substitute
American oil therefor. The COM
pany has contracts to supply the
board with Is, 100000 barrels of
fuel oil.
A bill is now before Congress,
and with every indication that 1t
will pass by substantial major
ity, and become a law at no dis
tant date, provides for an import
tax on crude oil of 35 cents per
barrel, and 25 cents per barrel
on fuel oil. American operators
are very much in favor of the
law, and they are leaving no
stone unturned to secure the
passage of the bill at the earliest
possible date.
In private letter received
here few days since from Mr.
Geo. H. Palmer, President of
the Palmer Oil & Gas Co., now
spending few days at his home
in Cleveland. states that it is
his desire to return to Columbia
very soon, and also that he ex.
poets to bring his family with
him. Mr.. Palmer has made q
host of friends here during his
stay in our midst, and they al
wish him unbounded success in
his undertakings.
Mr.. j. E. Carnahan, the big
oil operator and manufacture
from Canton, Ohio, spent a por
ton of the past week in this sec
ton arranging for the installa
ton of his big refinery at Creels
boro. He reported that thu
work is being pushed as fast al
locol conditions will permit, ant
that they expect to have tn,
plant in operation at no distan
date. His small plant on the A
G. Coffey farm, near Greensboro
is running full capacity.

alliance Immediately threw into high
relief all these inherent obstacles.
Canada regards the Anglo-Jap-
anese treaty as a positive menace
to British good relations with the
United States--which is the cardi.
nal axiom of her policy. Australia
and New Zealand, on the. other
hand, while sympathizing with the
general sentiment, find themselves
in a far more exposed position. 1t
is on them that the first shock
of any war In the Pacific might
fall. and, in consequence, they
would view with anxiety any dip
lomatic action which led the Brit
ish empire into strained relations
with Japan. Again. South Ameri-
can sentiment is unwilling to take
any responsibility for Pacific af.
fairs at all.
Popular sentiment in Great Brit
ain differs in no material way from
the view taken In Canada. On the
other hand, Downing Street has to
consider all its vast responsibilities
in India and the East. where the
alliance is a steadying factor. 1t Is
only necessary to state the position
to show the utter impossibility OF
formulating a common policy In
black and white to be signed by all
the premiers and to be binding on
all the communities.
This fact was, indeed. becoming
embarrassing in its plainness when

LONDON, Aug. 27.-The discus
sion of the problem Of the Pacific
has risen again in an even more
lively form the old question: Can
the British Empire have a COM
mon foreign policy decided by the
joint wishes of the partners and le-
gally binding on all OF them?
believe the answer to this ques.
ton to be an emphatic "No." The
state Of the British Empire can
never operate their foreign relation
ships with the formal and binding
unanimity of which a type may be
found in the federal organization OF
Germany. The geographical posi-
ton of each part of the whole will
decide both the degree Of the inter-
est that It takes in any political
question and tho attitude 1t adopts
toward 1t.
It follows that no two members
of the empire will ever see exactly
eye to eye on any issue OF foreign
policy. And there is a further diff
ficulty in the very structure OF the
imperial fabric. II Is hard enough
, for the British executive to keep in
touch with the House OF Commons
over the direction OF foreign affairs
and to ba certain that any pledge It
may give will be backed UP by pub
lie opinion. When. however, 1t
comes to a policy which is to be de-
cided by five premiers instead OF
one, the risk of some fatal error Of
this kind Is increased about twenty
five-fold. -.,

have decided successfully on the
terms of a joint treaty. each MEM
Der Of It has got to be able to assure
the others that his action represents
the more or less permanent opinion

strain the imperial tie to breaking
point.
PLAYING WITH FIRE.
The theoreticians then who, nat
urally enough. desire some more

wrong. To begin with, they will
not succeed. and II they did they

~ ARTS, Aug. 27!-Already the
world has spilled a lot OF ink
over the Washington confer
ence. Those who have not praised
in the most optimistic terms Hard
ing's initiative are being accused
of hostility to the United States.
Events, however. should be
Judged without passion ana the
policy of the crawling stomach
should not be assumed to be ex-
clusively the taste Of the noble
American Republic. The message
from President Harding is well
come, but let us guard against be-
lieving that Il heralds the coming
Of q golden age.
America Is, in fact. greatly more
preoccupied as regards the Paciric
than she is regarding Europe, ana
no mistake should be made about
that. The Washington conference
will perhaps be the last effort ao>
complished to prevent war IN

Of the league.
The suggestion is interesting. 1t
is still doubtful. however. whether
satisfactory results can be attained.
