OIL AT NEBRASKA CITY
Reported Pocket Has Been Struck: by
Borers at Depth of Fourteen
Hundred! Feet.
NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Feb. 18.-(Spe-clal.)
That oil has been struck by the
borors of the deep well Is ati assured fact,
but Just What the flow will be cannot be
told until the well is ceased further down
and the cavlngs stopped and the water
pumped out. ' The drill Is now down over
1.400 feet and the oil keeps coming to the
top of the water on the well and has since
the drill went down Into sand after passing
through a long stretch of rock harder than
flint and which caused the drillers all
kln,ds of trouble and was slow drilling.
There has also peen found traces of gas
In the well, but as It was not aT dry hole
the exact amount could ntit be told. The
men working oil the well are putting down
caslrg and .will have the water shut off
In a few days, after which they will drill
detper, after the water Is all pumped out,
provided a heavy flow of oil Is not struck
before that time. The deep well was sunk
by la local company, assisted by all of the
cltlxens who took stock, but becoming dis
couraged, turned over a majority of the
stock to Ingersoll Bros., who have been
sinking the well and who worked against
gnat odds, and they own the major portion
of the stock, and If the oil strike Is a pay
ing one they will be very rich. The peoplo
here are very jubilant over the outlook
and those who own stock are holding onto
It very tenaciously.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Feb. 18. -(Special.) The attor
ney general today has been introducing
testimony In the Rork Island, case In an
erfort to discredit the way In which the
railroads apportion their revenue and their
expenses between state and Interstate busi
ness. At the present time the Rock Island
apportions its revenue between state and
Interstate business In an arbitrary manner
and L. E. Wettllng, who was on the stand,
offered .many examples of the unfairness of
this proposition by showing that when
intrastate rates are raised a great portion
of the revenue thus derived goes Into Inter
state business, and he holds, the interstate
I traffic produces none of the Increase.
The system of the railroad Is to divide
the revenue according to the per cent of
the Intrastate earnings to the Interstate
earnings.
Mr. Wettllng gave the following as an
example of the unfairness of this plan:
A railroad a certain number of miles In
length receives In revenue from Its pas
senger business $100,000; Its operating ex
penses are $75,000, and net receipts $26,000.
This is arbitrarily divided, intra state,
$40,000; inter state, $60,000; expenses, Intra
state, $30,000, and inter slate $45,000; net re
ceipts intra state, $10,000, . and inter state,
$15,000. .
Taking the same railroad on the same
basis and Increasing the Intra state rate to
3 cents a mile, the result would be on the
arbitrary apportionment of the company;
gross revenue Intra state $60,000, Inter state
$60,000, expenses Intra state $37,600, Inter
state $37,000, net revenue intra state $22,600,
inter state $22,500. The net revenuo should
have been, the said Intra state $30,000, and
inter state $15,000. The intra state 'business
lost $7,600 and the Inter state gained $7,500.
Mr. Wettllng gave many examples, taking
the actual figures introduced by the rail
road company to show that the arbitrary
apportionments was unfair and unjust,
using figures on both passenger and freight
business. . Following is an example he gave,
using the passenger figures of the Rock
Island: ' .
Mr. Nay Gives Figures.
According to the testimony of Mr. Nay,
auditor of the Rock Island, the revenue
for the year ending June 30, 1909, was:
Passenger, interstate, $431,403.58; Intrastate,
$180,130, the interstate being 70.64 per cent
jof the intrastate; expenses, Interstate,
J320,222.4f; . Intrastate, $133,736.23; net oper
ating expenses. Interstate, $111,187.06; intra
state, $46,393.77. '
On the same basis, adding, to intra rev
enue 60 per cent to passenger revenue
the result would be as follows: Interstate,
0; intrastate, $74,859.33; total revenue, pas
senger. Interstate, $4M,40.53; Intrastate,
$254,989.83, or the ' Interstate revenue would
be 62.85 per cent of the intrastate revenue.
The example shows that the addition to
the net revenue would be $74,869.33, or $34.
919.43 to the interstate and $39,944.90 to the
Intrastate, while the Interstate business
contributed nothing to the Increase. ,
U. G. Powell and L. E. Wettllng, who
have investigated the earnings of thf Rock
Island for the attorney general, have
reached conclusions very different from
those reached by the railroad. Following
are the two statements:
As shown by Mr. Nay of th T.ock
Island:
Intrastate passenger earnings... ...$180,130.00
Intrastate freight earnings 110,788.62
Intrastate passenger expenses, in
cluding rentals and taxes , 133,736.23
Intrastate freight expenses, includ
ing rentals and taxes.. 109,777.05
Net earnings from passenger. In
trastate 43,393.77
Net earnings from freight. Intra
state 1.011.67
(After paying all operating expenses and
taxes.)
State's witness found:
Intrastate passenger earnings...... $176,007.32
Intrastate freight earnings 116,691.46
Intrastate passenger expenses. In
cluding rentals and taxes 113,143.27
Intrastate freight expenses. Includ
ing rentals and taxes... 68,036.41
Net earnings from passenger. In
trastate 62,934.05
Net earnings from freight, Intra
state 68,665.05
(Alter paying an operating expenses and
taxes.)
Slow on Raids. '
City Attorney Flansburg has not yet
caused a raid of the Elks club rooms to
see whether any of the members are get
ting any liquor there Illegally, though a
few months ago some of the temperance
people were very much up In the air be
cause an injunction operated to keep the
police out. This Injunction has been so
modified that the raid can be made by
the city attorney whenever he gets out a
search warrant and puts up a bond.
The impression is out that no raid wlU
be made on this or other prominent clubs,
at least until after election, then If the
town goes dry again the strings' will be
drawn a little tighter.
, One of the papers here which Is "for'
one day and "against" the next, suggests
ttiat If Havelock goes dry and Lincoln
goes dry then the excise board may chajige
Its rule and permit the thirsty to ship in
booze without having to go to the station
and sign for it themselves. The excise
board, however, has Issued ho such state
ment and if the city goes dry there Is
every reason to believe that the board
will see to It that every effort is mad to
keep liquor out of the city.
' Bis Campaign Fnnd.
The committee of thirty, which has the
management of the dry campaign In hand
has not selected a secretary though there
are several parties who have been dis
cussed for the job. Among them are Frank
Harrison, John C. Fremont, McKesson
Dennis, Fleharty, Clark, Oberllea and
others. The office pays a salary.
It Is the plan of the committee to spend
$1,000 on election day moving voter to the
poles and to that end the finance commit
tee Is a now busy at work collecting the
money. Should the wets have a campaign
fund of equal size to spend on the day of
election, It is doubtful If there are many
people who walk to the polls.
FlKbt Over School Site.
Because the school board delayed getting
busy on the construction of a high school
building after the land had been secured
and permitted Itself to be persuaded to
change the location, Llnooln Is in the
throes of a big fight over the proposed
bond issue. The tract bought Is known
ss the Davenport site at Twenty-second
and J streets, beyond the Rock . Island
tracks. The proposed site Is near Seven
teen and J streets and if bought will cost
the taxpayers $60,000. The opposition to
the Davenport tract la that. It Is said, to
be low land, while many have voiced ob
jection to the purchase of the new tract
because f its cost and the small size of
the tract. Since the agitation started there
