ball is by no means academic. He
wants various school teams to play
good football-and for reason. 1t
is his view that mediocre football
kills off the interest of would-be Gus
toners. In other words, if John @.
Phan pays $40 for a seat at a col
lege game and then sees an inferior
brand of football, he loses interest in
the game, whether it be pro or si-
mon-pure.
Ulterior Motives?
Marshall charges that a great
many college football rules were
placed on the books for selfish rea-
sons. Coaches who wanted to CAPT
talize on their own strength or their
opponents weaknesses inaugurated
a new rule. He charged specifically
that goal posts were moved back Of
the goal post lines not to protect
the players but to handicap the foes
of rule committee coaches whose
squads were scheduled to meet clubs
with better kickers. He named, too,
the college ban against throwing a
forward pass unless the passer is
at least five yards behind the line
of scrimmage. That rule, he de-
clared, was put in through the pres
sure of coaches who knew their
own passers were outclassed.
On the other hand, Stage feels
that the rules Of the college game
are settled to their permanent form.
There will be no further rapid and
radical changes. During his SO years
as coach he has watched the game
develop from the kicking to the car
rying to the razzle-dazzle game. He
remembers the 15-man team. He
remembers when the playing field
was first called gridiron. He was
on the Yale team when smuggling was
abolished. Stage coached through
the period when indoor football was
popular.

Veteran Observer

Stage has been a member of the
football rules committee since 1904
"a life member since 1888. He has
been an integral part of the games
development.
He speaks with authority when he
says the game is now as well ar
ranged as possible, both from the
spectators and players standpoints.
That's why he thinks no revolution
airy changes will be made.
A review of his past 40 seasons
convinces Stage that there is still a
good chance that one or two more
major systems may be developed,
and that there is plenty of room for
development of new individual plays.
Because of this, Stage knows that
rule alterations may be necessary.
Both sides sound logical. Stages
the more so because the advocates
Of rule changes have, for the large
part, a selfish interest. They look
upon colleges as farms for the pro-
fessional gridiron, and therefore are
anxious to have the collegians mold
ed to their style as soon as possible.

That arbor is 35 feet long. But I
think you are correct, especially as
your estimate exactly agrees with
Orton's story"
Does it?" I asked "Then I'm

does he say about it ?"

a man step out from the arbor and
take a step or two toward him.

ran toward the front of the house.

That's probably correct, but is
he sure it was a man ?"
With alert interested face, Lancy
asked: Don't you think it was a
man."
II don't know. We were all in
Stacks that night and I seem to
have dim recollection that as We
bumped together I got a faint odor

but I said bluntly: II don't deduce
either. But I don't know any man
who uses perfume unless you call
that vile-smelling stuff Joseph
Barry uses on his hair perfume"
That's an idea! If it were a
woman, the OdO7 of course, was
perfume. If a man, it undoubtedly
was hair tonic of a pleasant-smell-
ing sort. Well find a way for you
to get close enough to get that

I didn't like the sound of those
words. They rang in my ears all

to prevent their telling what they

Feed Prices
About Same

Raleigh. Oct. 28.-Feed markets
showed little change during the past
week, since offerings Of most feeds
were not particularly pressing and
the demand was not urgent, the U. S.
and North Carolina departments of
agriculture revealed in the weekly
market news service review. The IN
deX number Of wholesale feedstutt
prices was down only slightly to
1902 against 11O.5 a week earlier and
927 year ago.
Production of wheat mill feeds
dropped sharply but the output OF
soybean and linseed meals was re-
ported somewhat larger. Distributors
stocks were diminishing but whole
salers and jobbers as we'll as feed

BOTTLED GAS Use
SHOWING INCREASE

Continued increase in the market
for liquified petroleum gases. such
as are manufactured at the Glacier
Production company plant at Cut
Bank, is indicated by the report of
the Bureau Of Mines for the year
1888. A gain of IT percent over
1897 sales brought the total to
165.201.0O0 gallons OF liquified
petroleum gases sold.
Propane sales increased from
9.O56,O0O to 52,76S.OOO gallons in
the same period while propane-
butane mixture sales jumped from
3 100000 to 56,Q50,000 gallons
Pentane sales increased from 814,-
900 to 2.253.0OO gallons.

took the lead over industrial fuel
requirements. A 25 per cent gain
was reported in the use OF iiquifled
petroleum gases for fuel in internal

CRUDE RUNS
AT SuHBURST
SET RECORD

An all time record of runs to
stills in excess of 10000 barrels
in 81 days was established during
May by International Refining Co.
at Sunburst.
The previous record, of $4,000
barrels of crude, was established in
January of this year. In the month
of April the refinery was shut down
for the thorough annual overhaul
and was thereafter delayed by a
small fire, all of which cut the APP
ril runs very low. The plant was
in perfect working order, following
the overhaul and the management
hoped to get total runs of 169, 900
barrels during May to make up the
deficiency.
Working throughout the month
without a shutdown or delay of
any kind, the plant not only exceed
ed the mark fixed but ran nearly
1900 extra barrels, averaging
5,S3S barrels per day in a single
unit plant that is rated at $500
barrels per day.
The Sunburst plant operated
chiefly on Kelvin crude throughout
the month, which makes the record
even more impressive, since the for
mer record was made with Cut
Bank crude that is easier to run
in de Florez equipment
Refinery officials say that it
would be impossible to maintain
this rate of runs to stills over a
long period of time. It. is accom-
plished by speeding up the hot oil
pumps and adjusting other factors
which can continue only for linn
tied periods. 1t is usually necessary |
to shut down every three or four
weeks to remove coke which forms
on the stills.

On Monday a pressure test will

piled it will be ready to start run

cipated that the heaters would be

Water pressure is applied to the

great as the normal working pres

Two additional heaters are to be

PROPOSE SPOKANE GAS LINE
OUTLET FOR
SURPLUS GAS
IS ARRANGED

Construction of a natural gas
line from northern Montana to
Spokane is the announced intention
of a newly organized corporation
articles OF which were filed this
week in Cut Bank.
It is known as the Spokane Pipe
line company and is intended to
provide a market for the growing
volume of surplus gas In the Cut
Bank field and the Sweetgrass
Hills
Incorporators are A. B. Cobb of
Cut Bank we'll known producer
and Frank Miller of Cut Bank. a
member of the Cobb organization:
also r. B. Coolidge, Kelvin oil and
gas producer. and LaRue Smith.
Montana representative of the Tex
as Pacific Coal & Oil Co
The papers filed for record Wed
nesday show Cut Bank as the prin-
cipal place of business. The capita
lization is a nominal 100000, d.
yided into 5000 shares at 500
each The announced purpose Is to
gather and transport gas from Toole
in Washington and Idaho.
The Spokane pipeline project has
long been discussed. among the
chief proponents being the Drum
heller interests OF Spokane who
have heretofore lacked adequate
gas. 1t is understood that the var
ious elements desiring the Spokane
market will be united in this organ
ization. II is estimated that there
is a market for $4,000 900 cubic
feet of gas per day in Spokane and
the Occur d'Alenes where mining
and smelling interests would pro-
vide a large industrial load, SINH
lar to the Helena Butte-Anaconda
market in Montana
The necessity of an expanded
market appeared recently with the
completion in North Cut Bank of
the two largest gas wells in Mon
tana. The first, known as Cobb |
State No. 1, had an initial of 40 i
100000 cubic feet per day and a |
rock pressure of $50 pounds The
second, known as Newell & Chand- !
er-Hintrager No. l. had an initial
" 100000 cubic feet per day.
As there is a vast area of potential
gas land in the North Cut Bank
Irea. 1t is believed that petroleum
engineers will determine adequate
;as reserves in Cut Bank field alone
o justify the Spokane line.
In addition to the Cut Bank gas
here is 100000 cubic feet or
more OF developed gas in the Bow
Arrow structure, controlled by
dontana Pipeline company, Cool
dye subsidiary. in the Sweetgrass
Hills. Additional high pressure gas
) available in Bears Den, Flat Cou-
ee and other proven fields in the
Hills which have a sand condition
imilar to North Cut Bank.
