great Mexican oil town during the last
few years" says a bulletin issued from
the Washington. d. c.. headquarters
Of the National Geographic Society"
This was the port to which United

heavy Mexican taxes threw thousands

"Tampico, long "A port of no great
Importance. has had mushroom
growth in the last fifteen years"
continues the bulletin. its popula-
tion increasing from less than 1900
in 900 TO well over 100000 today,
And the explanation for this great
stride forward can be given in one
word-oil. The biggest gusher' the
world has ever known was drilled
near Tampico in 1903 and scores of
other huge streams Of oil have been
opened up in the same vicinity since.
Hundreds OF millions Of gallons of oil
have passed through Tampico. and
the town has been the financial and
business headquarters for fields many
miles away.

TAMPICO, WHERE WAR PRICES DIED HARD

The cost of all articles of food and
apparel rose tremendously. Rents
scared until ordinary accommodations
fer Americans could not be obtained
tor much under 5000 to $500 per
month
Because the after-the-war industries
of the world required petroleum no
less than did the navies of the fighting
nations during the war, Tampicos S
prosperity continued after mcst other
communities whose business was quick
ened by the war were experiencing a
set back Now, belatedly, the city is
undergoing the readjustment that came
to the rest Of the world.
Handles More Freight Than Vera
Cruz.
Although Tampico owes its pros
rerity to oil, it has other factors that
contribute to its importance Thanks
to a railroad from Monterey, connect
ing with the mining region of north
central Mexico, and to excellent har-
Dor improvements, the town Is an
important port of entry and export,
II has surpassed Vera Cruz in the
bulk of commodities handled, though
the latter city probably is the port
of entry for products of greater ag-
gregate value.
The city of Tampico is not directly
on the seacoast but is situated a few
miles up the panuca River, which is
broad and deep and affords anchorage
for a large number of ocean-going
ships. At the mouth Of the stream
at La Barra is supplemental bar
bor. Near the latter place is one Of
the finest sea beaches to be found.
Until Tampico found its buried

yellow fever. Drainage and the ap-

.ONE-TENTH Of MOTORS
IN u. s. ARE TRUCKS

The number of motor trucks now
in use in the United States totals 961,
635, as compared with the total motor
vehicle registration of 9,295,252, ac-
cording to compilations made by sta
tisticians of the B. F. Goodrich Rub
ber Co.
The compilations are based on the
actual truck registration figures of so
states and estimates of motor vehicle
registrars of the is other states which
do not seggregate motor truck and
passenger car registrations. They are
conservative. possibly somewhat below
the actual number of trucks in use.
Many states which have not seq
gregated motor truck and passenger
car licenses in the past have arranged
to do so this year. Consequently fu-
ture estimates can be made with a
greater degree of exactness.
According to the Goodrich figures,
New York led all other states by a
substantial margin with 1872, 524. Ohio
came second with SO, 300. Pennsyl-

time to the price of four tons of hay.
There are additional prizes totalling
$3.50 offered, down to the tenth prize.
Gallatin Valley Montana, for which
the county seat is Bozeman, will send

People Here and There

did Ragains spend the time that
elapsed between his first visit and
second visits to the cabin. When the
body was found by the authorities, his
repeating shotgun was lying by j
side, and the story told by Shields and
Runyon, who with Brunn were spend
ing the night In the cabin, is to the
effect that Ragains went home to get
his shotgun. The mother and wife of
Ragains declare that he had never
been n the house after leaving early
Saturday morning to go to work with
Brunn.
Another fact that lends interest to
the o. is found in the report that
whel v agains was there early in the
evening his dog was not with him, but
that on his second trip, he was ac-
companled by the dog.
Bullet Not Found.
The bullet which ended Ragains life
was not located by Deputy Coroner
Brady and Deputy Sheriff Spears,
though they searched diligently for 1t.
The belief is expressed that the bullet
after passing through the body. went
out through the opened door which
was in the background and in direct
line from Brunn's position when he
fired.
one angle that remains difficult for
the authorities to understand Is how,
If Ragains were standing upright at
the time of the shooting. as has beer
reported, the course of the bullet
could have been downward If
Brunn fired from sitting position on
the back side of the bed.
Saw Myers KILLED.
Jesse Brunn, who is better known
as Jesse Roberts, which was his
mothers name after her second mar
riage. was a witness to the death of
Tom Myers not many miles from the
scene of the Ragains shooting. Myers
vas shot by cattleman named Rhon-
linus in 1906 in the Cabbage Hill dis
trlct, and Brunn was with Myers when
he was killed. Rhonimus was acquit-
ted of the charges preferred against
him. His plea was self defense.
Brunn testified at the trial.
Another fact that has been brought
out is that during the time when he
was not working, Brunn usually made
his home with Ragains.
That he never knew Ragains to be
uuarrelsome is n statement that was
made today by C. NJ. Wright to friends.
Wright and Rrunn were associated in
running horses together on pasture,
and Wright has been deeply affected
by the tragedy.
Shields, one Of the witnesses. is en-
ployed at the Oliver Knitts saw mill
on the East fork of Birch creek. Run
yon is said to have come to the cabin
for a visit over Sunday when he was
planning to ride some Of the horses
to try them out in preparation for the
Roundup.
To Assist State.
It is reported today that the law
firm of Raley. Raley G. Steiwer has
been or will be secured to assist in the
prosecution of Brunn.
