$50,000,000 PIPE LINE
PROJECT TO NORTHEAST
An administration bill has
been introduced in the legis-
lature authorizing a state con-
servation corporation for the
purpose of building a gas pipe
line from West Texas gas
fields to St. Louis and Detroit.
No financial responsibility is
to be taken by the State, as a
$50,000,000 'loan is to be se-
cured from the nearly 5 bil-
lion the federal government
is preparing to spent on work
projects the next two years.
42 million will be a loan and
8 million a gift. The proposi-
tion has merit, though there
may be some drawbacks.
As we understand it the
project is being put forward
to afford a market for the
large amount of natural gas
that is being wasted in the
Panhandle gas field. The
wasite comes about in this
way. A few years ago a pri-
vate company built a pipe line
to northern cities and owners
of gas wells in West Texas
hoped to sell their natural gas
but when the l'ne was com-
pleted the company informed
the owners of gas wells that
they had their own wells and
proceeded to usie their own
gas exclusively, and under the
law of “Capture” they w«re in
position to draw most of the
gas from the field and mar-
ket it to cities outside of the
state. Efforts were made in
the courts to compel them to
buy of those who had gas for
sale, but it was unsuccessful.
Seeing that the pipeline mon-
opoly would secure all the gas
from the field if nothing was
ylone the State authorized gas
Veil operators to blow their
gas into the air that they!
might extract a quart of gas-1
ofline out of every thousand
feet of natural gas. This was
a cruel waste of natural rQ-!
sources and was only justified
by the position these owners
were placed h. A cry of waste
and conservation of natural
resources was raised, and the
answer is a state controlled
pipe line that will afford these
gas owners a market fur fh
product. If it is self liquidat-
ing, and we see no reason why
it should not lie, it is a worthy
move-
RAY HAMILTON TO MEET
HIS FATE
Thut Raymond Hamilton is
again in the death cell at
Huntsville to await execution
occasions no surpr ise to the
public. He is young, 22, not
i bad looking, but has been in
much trouble of his own mak-
ing. He was convicted of
shooting a guard when he es-
caped from a prison farm in
concert with Clyde Barrow’s
mid. He may or may not have
been guilty, but he committed
so many robberies and theft

mands his life. When he es-
caped from the death cell at

lawless life, go to a new
country and live a useful life,
but instead he remained in
this section and by a contin-

He will be one more desperate

ADMIRAL CARY T. GRAYSON
—Harris & Kwing Photo
The King ranch, probably
the largest ranch in the world
under fence, has been divided
among heirs, now widely en-
gaged 'in many walks of life-
This ranch comprises 1,200,-
000 acres of land and extends
through nine South Texas
counties. Thera is a tinge of
regret at the passing of such
a gigantic institution as this
ranch, but this is ia step in the
march of progress. In the
life of the founder such a di-
vision was not possible, but
he and Ms wife have gone the
way cf all the earth and their
descendants will manage the
parcels- and probably to great-
er advantage.
|>EP0RTS on the nation-wide liu-
IN Unitarian activities of the
American Red Cross today flow
across the desk of a new chairman
at national headquarters in Wash-
ington—Rear Admiral Cary T. Gray-
son, U. S. N., retired.
Admiral Grayson was appointed
to this important post by President
Roosevelt, who is president of the
Red Cross, on February 8, several
weeks after the death of John Bar-
ton Payne, whose long service en-
deared him to the country.
The new chairman, who is known
internationally as a “doctor to Presi-
dents,’’ has devoted much time to
movements directed at disease pre-
vention and health preservation.
Scion of a distinguished Virginia
family, he entered the U. S. Navy as
physician and soon was assigned to
the White House when President
Theodore Roosevelt was in office. He
retained his post with President
Taft and with President Wilson. He
accompanied the latter to Europe
when peace negotiations began fol-
lowing the World War, and remained
his physician when the President
returned to private life.
A long-time friendship with the
president-elect resulted in his selec-
tion as chairman of the inaugural
committee in 193,'i when Franklin D.
Roosevelt assumed office.
Admiral Grayson, a resident for
many years of the nation’s capital,
has a historic home there, and a
farm In 'he hunting country near
Washington, where he is a breeder
of fine horses.
Mrs. Grayson, who is interested in
the Red Cross ar.d other civic move-
ments, and threo young sons, com-
prise the family.
Hundreds of Red Cross chapter
officials and other delegates to the
annual convention in Washington,
April 8 to 11, will have their first
opportunity to meet the new chair-
man, when he presides at the open-
ing session of the gathering.
