DEVILS LAKE
BOY HITTING
LEAGUE PACE

Palmer Melhouse, former star pit
cher in Lake Region baseball circles,
is making good in fast company.
Melhouse left here about month ago
for his first try-out in the near-big
cilcles-signed to contract with the
Shreveport team Of the Texas league.
In the past two years, after failing
to get attention of local baseball
management, Melhouse played in the
South Dakota and Montana leagues,
establishing excellent records as a
pitcher. A press clipping from
southern state sporting pages has
this to say Of Devils Lakes prodigy:
Headed for Big Show.
shreveport in the Texas League
has picked up a "find" in young
(Palmer) Melhouse, combed out of the
wild and woody Montana bad lands.
Mel has all the signs Of developing
into major league moundsmen. He
totes a wicked curve, a fast ball
and with proper coaching will prob
ably be in the big show in another
season. The Shreveport outfit will
probably farm the kid out to the Three
eye league with a string tied to him
that will probably land him eventually
with the Washington Senators and
maybe chance to try at the close Of
the season in the grand ring of the
national pastime circus.

"Kicked around among the home
talent, the youngster, railroad me-
chanic of Devils Lake, North Dakota,
pulled stakes and landed in the South
Dakota league two years ago and
picked a berth in the Montana circuit
last year where out of short season
he won Is out of II games he pitched.
He has won every game he went
into so far on the training trip here"

SIX BOATS ARRIVE
In LOCAL HARBOR
Two More Tankers Arrive From New
Orleans and Port Arthur
to Tie Up.

six vessels came into Pensacola
harbor during the last two days, and
among them were two more of the
large oil tanlxers which are arriving
almost daily to tie up for an indefinite
period. The tankers to register since
Saturday are the Durango and Dam
Vile. each carrying immense quanti-
ties of crude petroleum. The other
boats to arrive are as follows:
The British steamer Bolivia came in
from Galveston to take on fuel sup
ply which is being supplied BIZ John
A. Merritt & Company.
The steamer Capillo, an American
vessel arrived from Mobile consigned
to John A. Merritt 81 Company to
complete her cargo before sailing for
South America
japanese steamship Buyo from Gulf
port with cargo in transit called here
for bunkers which will be supplied
through Frederick Gilmore Company.
The other arrival was the British
steamer Danier which came over from
New Orleans, took on bunkers and
sailed out of the harbor yesterday aft

BRING Oil HERE TO
EVADE EXPORT DUTY
Fourteen Tankers in the Bay, Contain
ing Nearly Million Barrels of Fuel
Oil.

With the arrival yesterday OF the
Tanker Danville from Port Arthur
there are now fourteen of these oil
tankers in the bay.
It has been generally understood
that there has been many of these
tankers brought into American waters
and that there are millions of barrels
of oil stored UP in tankers in the var
ious ports of the country.
In this port alone are IA of these
tankers, each having a capacity OF
SIS 900 barrels Of Gil Only one of these
vessels contain the oil as taken from
the wells, but it has been 10 the refin-
cries and the asphaltum, kerosene and
gasoline has been taken out, leaving
only the fuel oil.
The reason assigned for this great
number of tankers in the various ports
at this particular time is that on the
25th of this month an export tax OF
$1.00 a barrel is to be imposed by the
Mexican government, and If this is
true, there will be saving of nearly
a million dollars on the oil in this port
alone to the owners, there being over
900. 900 barrels of oil in the tankers
here.
II is also feared that the Fordney
tariff bill may provide for an inn
port tax of approximately $500 bar
rel on oil, and should this come to
pass another 100000 would be saved
to the oil consignee.

CAUCUS CALLED FOR
ON BONUS QUESTION
Republican Congressman De
mand Immediate Action on
Adjusted Compensation Bill.
tey The Associated P,ess)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.--Ca1l for a
caucus Thursday night OF the republi-
can members of the house on the sol
der bonus question was issued today
Immediate action on an adjusted COM
peusation bill has been demanded by
a group of members who were In the
military service during the war.
At the Thursday night conference
they plan to offer a resolution in
structing the ways and means commit
tee to proceed at once to draft bonus
measure. The resolution also will pro-
vide that when reported to the house
the measure is TO be the continuing
business until passed.
House leaders said no effort would
be made at the caucus to instruct the
ways and means committee as to how
1T should provide for the raising of the
necessary revenue. That question will
be determined. it was said, by the COM
mittee, with the probability that the
republican membership later at a eau
Gus viii take a stand on the plan pro-
posed.
Data upon possible new methods OF
taxation with which to raise funds for
heS bScit piSpelACb ny lilc
treasury department, it was said today,
for the information of congress.
Officials of the treasury said, how
ever. that the department would await
requests for such information before
transmitting it to congress. At the
same time it was said that the treas
ury's position with regard to the ad-
visibility of a bonus for veterans of
the world war was unchanged, the
enactment of compensation legislation
under existing conditions being viewed
with disfavor.
In the event bonus bill is enacted,
treasury officials said, some tax would
have TO be provided to take care of it.
Use of the allied debt as basis for
bonus financing was said to be re-
garded as impractical.
In the opinion of the treasury, high
officials said, it would cost more to
raise the money for soldier bonus
from the sale of bonds based on the
debts of the allied nations than it
would to float the countrys own obli-
cations.
Data compiled by the treasury for
the information of congress was I'M
derstood to cover various fields of pos
sible taxation without, however, con-
sidering a sales tax as political solu-
ton of the problem of getting money
to pay a bonus.
