Peruvian Petroleum.

Efforts are being made to develop
more extensively the petroleum re-
sources of Peru. The known depos-
its of OIL occur on very narrow strip
of land between the foothills of the
Andees and the shore Of the Pacific,
and much of this Is flooded at high
tide. Piles of railroad iron driven in
the pure ocean sand, which varies in
depth from five to fifty feet, are used
as foundations for the derricks. The
shallowest of the driven wells is $50
feet and the deepest 1,7o0 feet in
depth. There is very little gas, and
the OIL is very heavy, so that 1t can
be put into buckets with shovels, and
1t is carried direct to the furnaces
to serve as fuel.

Inside Out
A Weekly Panorama of Events in
the National Capital
By Peter Keegan

Elmer Dover, who served as
assistant secretary of the Treasury
during the Harding Administration
and who has been one Of the "Silent
leaders" of the Republican Party
since the days of William Nc
Kinley and Mark Hanna, has
established himself as one of the
confidential advisors of President
Coolidge. Following a long con-
ference between Dover and the
President there were persistent
rumors here that the former Ohioian
was to get back into a government
job again, but this writer is able to
state on the highest authority that
another federal position is the last
thing that Elmer Dover is looking
for. During all his years of service
in the Republican party he has only
held office once and he is very
happy now just to be a private
citizen and the friend and advisor of
Presidents.
As leaders of both major parties
look ahead to December when Con-
gress reconvenes, they are be-
coming more and more convinced
that Senator Robert Marion La
Toilette of Wisconsin is going to be
the strong man" with whom they
will have to deal if they want to ac-
comphsh anything in the way of
National Legislation. LaFollette
will be the real leader, both in the
Senate and in the House, for he will
hold the well known and greatly
feared balance of power in the
hollow of his hands. In the house he
will do it with his Wisconsin delega-
ton and in the Senate with that
group Of Progressives and Radicals
which includes some of the best
politicals minds in the country.
This condition is recognized by
President Coolidge and he has
already taken steps to see if some
thing cannot be done to deplete the
LaFollette ranks before the winter
battles begin by winning some of his
Lieutenants over to the Admin
stration. Little progress has been
done thus far because Senator
LaFollette has been in Europe for
many weeks and it is impossible to
tell what new political ideas he will
have to offer Congress and the
country when he gets back into his
fighting harness again.
The merry little russell which has
been going on quietly between
President Coolidge and Governor
Pinchot of Pennsylvania over the
1924 Republican Presidential NOM
nation has finally got out in the
open Coolidge called Senators
Pepper and Reed of Pennsylvania,
both republicans, down to the White
/ House to find out where they stood.
They told the President that it was
much too early to take sides and
indicated they would have nothing
but silence to offer until they could
be sure which way the wind was
blowing.
Within twenty four hours after
the news was published that Alvin
Owsley, National Commander Of the
American Legion, was being doomed
as the Democratic Candidate for
Vice President next year, Owsley
was luncheon guest at the White
House He limited his conversation
with the President to discussion of
the world war veterans, but it is
pretty generally known that he is
not at all displeased with the Vice
Presidentials idea. Owsley is
native of Texas and will retire from
the Generalship of the Legion in a
few weeks.
