Daladier as man after Davis own

 GUS GROSS JAILED
Gus and John were pals.

Gus and John were pals.
 At least so thought the populace at Sand Point until recently.
 The story reaching The Gateway is that John Isookson forcibly battered his way into Gus Gross cabin against the alleged protest of Gus who, it is said, claims to have been soundly asleep when he was awakened by Johns attempts. Gus is said to have warned the intruder to beat a retreat but to no avail, and as the fral door fin ally gave way. Gus's trigger figger is alleged to have let loose a bullet which lodged in Johns body.
 Now John Lsookson peacefully reposes in eternal sleep under a mound on a sunlit knoll overlook ing picturesque Popof Straits. He succumbed after several hours Tn ghastly agony from the wound. A 3O-3O slug entered his body below the waist, striking bone and shattering it so bad that there ap- peared to be no chance for recoV- cry. Il.
 Quietly and sadly, Gus now sits in an Unga cell awaiting trail. He plead self-Gefense at a hearing, It was said.

PARIS R.-Mesopotamian oil, over
which diplomatic battles have wased.
will fiow into Partisan automobile tanks
within q few months, the French Oil
Co, holder of one-fourth interest in
the rich Iraq oil sands, has announced.
The 531-mile northern branch of the
pipe line from Kirkuk, Taq, to Tripoli,
in French inundated Syria. has been
completed and the southern branch
SIT miles-from Kirkuk to Haifa, in
completion.
Helps French Defense.
The pipe line to the Mediterranean
runs under the Tigris and Euphrates
Rivers and over mountains and des-
ert. Two 10-inch pipes were laid un-
der dramatic circumstances and news
that oil would soon flow from the
KirkHk wells was welcome in France,
which has no oil Of its own.
Lack Of the blue-black liquid ham
have fought constantly since then to
obtain an Independent supply as ma
tional defense measure.
This created bitter controversy
among the ex-allies who wanted to
profit from the Mosul fields. which fell
into their hands as a result Of the
war. Three American-English compa-
MES and the French agreed in 1920
to share the oil equally, but this only
started complications for both the
French and the English wanted the
pipe line to end in territory over which
they had control.
The end of this dispute did not come
until 1881. when 1t was agreed to con-
struct two pipe lines, one ending at
Tripoli and the other at Haifa.
Reservoirs Ready for Oil.
The Shell Co. Of Palestine and the
Vacuum Oil Co. of the United States
have erected large drums and filling
instruments at Haifa, while the French
have been building necessary machinery
at Tripoli to ship the oil to lie HaUe.
The French Oil Co. is State-owned
ard the Chamber Of Deputies is now
considering creation of an oil monop-
oily. Until 1881 half dozen Ameri-
can companies furnished France with
more than halt OF all petroleum prod
ucts she imported. Since then, great
er quantities have been coming from
Russia and Rumania and America s
share diminished from So per cent in
1880 to Sc per cent in 1882.
