LINE ADVANGES MILE PER DAY Standard’s Big Conduit Is Being Rapidly Completed. The pipe line of the Standard Oil Com- pany, coming north from Bakersfield to tide water on the bay, has reached Ken- rell, Kern County, about forty miles south of Hanford. The construction prog- ress on the line is at the rate of about one mile per day. Below Hanford nearly 300 men are employed. The force will be increased to double its present size. To push the work the force is divided Into four gangs. The first puts the pipe to- gether, the next digs the trenches, which are two feet wide and about three feet deep on the average; the third wraps the pipe in a prepared covering to protect it, and then the fourth fills up the trenches. ihe work is systematized, and this en- ables the company to progress atithe rate of thirty miles each month on the way to the bay of San Francisco. Talk about the proposed McDonald rail- road from the Kern River oil fleld to the ccean at Port Harford continues. All sorts of predictions are made concerning the price at which oil will be transported to Port Harford. The Bakersfleld Cali- fornian says that a freight rate of 15 cents per barrel is promised. The: same paper says that a survey has been partly completed and that the entire length of the proposed line is 115 miles. An official of the Standard Oil Company is reported by the Los Angeles Herald to have said in New York that an early fail- ure of the oil supply of Beaumont is ex- pected, and that is the reason that his ccrporation has not taken a more lively interest in that section. Concerning the progress of the Kern County oil refineries the Bakersfield Cali- fornian says: The refineries being built in the Kern R fleld are all making satisfactory p toward mmpletion, the one farthest advs being the Union, which is also the largest is stated that it will start its fires next day morning, byt this Information is accom panied by the statement that the date may ! a few days later. The Union has six gr stills and has just fini 3500-barrel tank: It road near the Standard's storage tanks an track runs the length of an immense fron wa house, enabling all the work to be done un cover. The King Company activity in the preliminary e refinery and from present Indlcations will not allow any time to be wasted before getting into shape to handle oil. A large force of men is_engaged at work. Consolidation of ofl interests is taking place in Texas on lines similar to tho. luid down in California. Several Tex companies have combined to form the Star Oil Company, which has an autho ized capital of $10,000,000. The amalgamat- ed company has a pipe line eighteen miles long, leading from its wells to Port Ar- thur; four storage tanks of 5,000 barrels capacity each, two 35000-barrel tanks, thirty-two large settling tanks, and is now building additional stothge tanks, accord- ing to the reports, that will aggregate a capacity of 630,000 barrels.
