PROGRESS OF TEXAS
From The Montgomery Advertiser.

From The Montgomery Advertiser.
Grand opera at popular prices is being in
troduced in Houston. AS long as the cowboys
controlled Texas nothing like this could have
happened. But the sons of the old cowboys
are riding in automobiles, wearing tweeds
and toying with opera glasses.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
WISDOM

There is a man in our town
Who lately has grown wise;
He filled himself with bootleg hooch
And uttered fearsome cries.
But when he had his wits again
He whispered to his wife,
81 see now what fool I've BEEN
Pm off the stuff for life"

Now that Mrs. Peckton has been elected to

GAS well as could be expected. He has an

THE HIGH COST OF OPERAT-
ING RAILROADS

The second sentence in the annual report of
the president of the Southern railroad reads:
"The gross revenue for 1920 reached the rec
undertaking figure of s152,s17 900, the reve-
nue. from freight alone exceeding 100000
o00."
That suggests remarkably prosperous year,
yielding large dividends, bat the next sentence
in the report tells different story. 1t is as
follows:
Unfortunately no benefit to net income
followed this remarkable expansion in gross
earnings and taxes were more than twice what
they were in 1917, the year preceding the sur
render of the property to the government"
The report shows an increase of 68 per cent
in revenue over 1917, but Ill per cent increase
in taxes and expenses and decrease of SO per
cent in operating income compared with 1917.
The average wage paid in 1920 was IS per cent
in excess of that of 1917, cross-ties cost 203
per cent more, steel rails At per cent more and
fuel was up "a per cent.
The vast increase in the cost of operating
railroads is just as evident as high freight rates
and both must be considered if there is to be
fair play.

AMERICA WILL MAKE FIRST
MOVE TO DISARM

Taking the position that they have nothing
to conceal, Americas representatives at the
conference to limit armament will invite equal
frankness from the other members.
The Age-Herald's Washington correspondent
states that the American programme for naval
reduction will be announced through Secretary
Hughes at the beginning of the conference.
These proposals will probably be made publicly,
so that the whole world can know how far this
country is prepared to go in lifting tax bur
dens from the people and minimizing the dan
ger of future wars. 1t will be master stroke
and comes with good grace from America, as
the nation responsible for initiating the disarm-
ament conference.
After careful and prolonged study, assisted
by naval experts, the American representatives
have decided upon the extent to which the
worlds naval power may be safely reduced.
These conclusions will be laid before the other
to say whether not they are prepared to fol-
low the United States.
The conclusions reached by the American
representatives cannot fail to have a great
effect on the conference and will do much to
make it a success. Great Britain and
Japan, if they have any doubts of our
sincerity, will no longer be able to say that
America has not laid all her cards on the table
and pointed out the path to a better understand
ing among nations, well as a means to cur
tail the enormous expenditures now being made
for naval armament. Better still, navies de-
signed solely for protection and not for Of
fensive purposes will remove the danger of war.
1t is also intimated that Americas attitude
toward the Pacific and the far east will be ex-
pressed with the same degree of frankness.
This augurs well for an amicable settlement
of problems which are closely associated with
the limitation of armament. Frankness should
be the keynote of the conference. America
has shown laudable desire to make it so.

AIR '..| ROUTE l FROM f|F'R| |!
 EDMONTON NORTH

Edmonton, Alta. Dec S-The es- ab'lshmert of an aerial route from EdnontDn to the oil fields of Fort Nor man on the Mac Kenzie river is the iatesst talked of development. in con- nect'ion with the pressing tranSporta- . tion problem existing as a result of the Fort Norman point being so fa r. removed from the business ceners of Alberta.
 Edmonton aydators ;lre entering into negotiations for such service with q zest indicating that as little time as possible will be wasted in the prelim- inary arrangements.
 The proposal calls for the esabIish- ment of landing places at intervals along the route and the transportation in the first instance. before flying. of gasoline and other essentials for the successful operation of flying ma chimes. The distance to Fort Norman from here is airout 300 miles as the crow flies. Three or four days at .he most would be sufficient to accom- plish .he distance when once a. relay service of planes is established.
 High srside seepage oil has been found at he Imperial Oil Ccmpany's well near Fort Norman on .he Mac Kenzie river. Drilling operations have been going on there since the early part of the season and have now at- tainei a depth of about 500 feet. The oil flow was encountered in the first hfty fee. and it is not expected that q real strike will be made mnul the bore Aas gone down at least thous- a"d feet. The seepage Is of good quality and has been giving from 3 to 10 barrels a day.
