nothing to stop the growth of San
Antonio.
The men who know and have esti-
mated San Antonio's population in
1880 at 250.00O inside her city lin
its and $4,000 in the suburbs outside
her city limits, have made con
sentative guess. This does not mear:
that we can sit still and shake hands
with ourselves. but it means hard
worl; and lots of energy on the part
of the citizenship to accomplish these
great things in city building. 1t cary
be done. and l do not believe that the
citizens of San Antonio will lose this
opportunity when opportunity knocks
at their door.
strenuous efforts should be made
at this time by all of us to induce
the building of railroad to the Rio
Grande valley. Ten years ago in the
hot summer months San Antonio do
mated $500.000 as portion Of fund
to build a road to the valley, which
never materialized. Let us hang up a
big purse now and someone may come
and take it. Let us also do the same
to get q railroad to our own lost ter
ritory. the San Angelo country. Ev-
erybody must contribute and we will
get our money back tenfold."

GARDEN SPOT, SAYSACENT,
 s. E. ALASKA

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Declar- ing that Southeastern Alaska, at least in the vicinity of towns and villages, is becoming a garden spot. Dr. w. N. Evans, chief of the Dl- vision of Insular Experiment Sta tions, under the Department of Agri- culture, explained the needs of the Territory to the House Appropriations Committee today, according to dispatch from the Times Washington correspondent. Highly productive ln fruits and vegetables, nowhere, said Dr. Evans, has a greater degree Of progress been made in agriculture and horticulture than in that sec tion. Extensive work in agriculture, the expert said, is one of the greatest needs of Alaska, and he urged that agents of the Department should be provided for visiting with the Alas kan farmers and instructing them with regard to the best methods to be pursued, as determined by the crops grown at the various expert ment stations in Alaska.

CRUDE
 OIL STORING
 EAPROBLEk

HOUSTON, Tex, Jan. 16.-The re- cent $1,o00,00o fire at the Gulf Pipe Line Company tank farm at Humble, IF miles northeast of Houston, in which 750,000 barrels of heavy gravity crude were consumed has revived dis cussion of the coastal method of stor- ing crude oil in earthen reservoirs, a practice followed quite generally by oil companies producing and storing gulf coast crude.
 Lightning, which caused the last great fire here, seems to show no preference in striking either earthen or steel tanks. Still, steel tank con- struction has reached a stage where, by packing excelsior loosely in the vent at the top of the tank and thereby affording an egress for the getting down to the oil, it is believed a step has been taken toward pre- venting oil tank fires and consequent financial losses However, this lat ter means Is still in the experimental stage and the oil trade seems inclined to wait for thorough test before in- vesting heavily in steel storage tank construction.
 Earthen reservoirs range all the way from 100000 to 500,O00 barrels capacity. Coastal heavy gravity oil rich in lubricating content, usually contains little gasoline and the evaporation therefrom is almost neg ligible. Neither does 1t filter through the earthen levees thrown up by scrap CTS and shovels nor penetrate deep into the bottom of the reservoirs.
 These earthen tanks are covered with board roof and tar paper. In the bottom of the reservoir a pipe is inserted, connected with a gate valve off to one side of the tank. In case of fire this gate valve is opened and the pumps started to removing the oil on the bottom of the reservoir. In this way much of the oil is saved by pumping from the bottom while it is burning at the top. The one great danger is that water on the bottom will boil, which throws the burning oil over the embankments~ It runs rapidly and thus there is danger of communicating the flames to adjoin- ing tanks.
 The economy of construction has an appeal in the use of earthen reser' yoirs. One 500 900 barrel earthen res ervoir can be erected for the approXi- mate cost of one 55,OOO-barrel steel storage tank, and will hold as much oil as nine steel 55's.
