the disheartened farmers departed
for the cotton fields and other more
prosperous sections, are within the
new oil district.
Some of the farmers who
Straggled, almost penniless, from
the "parched zone" a few months
ago can qualify as oil mngnates, ac
cording to Vance Muse, of the Fort
Worth Chamber of Commerce, who
has just completed a tour of Ranger,
Eastland, Cisco, Brockenridge, De-
Leon, Moran, Gorman and other
towns in the heart of the new oil
district. He says the population in
many counties, almost completely
deserted last summer, has reached
unprecedented figures.
Leases are being sold for a few
acrfp at vustly larger sums than en
tirMkirms would have brought a
yeaSmgo .jynd enormous investment-,
have been made. *
The, legislature had expected to
adopt measures for relief of drought 1
sufferers, but since the discovery of
oi llittle interest has been shown in'
the proposed action. There have
been abundant fall rains that as
sured crops in districts' outside the
oil territory.

Vologda Railway, Jan. 2)4. —When
operating through this' thinly popu
lated forest and tundra region along
the railway leading from Archangel
to Vologda, the American troops
fighting'the Bolsjteviki In tl)e North
Russian front are living, wjien free
from trench and blockhouse duty,
in tiny Russian fceight carij. '
In this they are imitating the Rus-.
•sian soldiers, who, since the revolu
tion, have commandeered freight
cars whet-ever they found them and
remodeled them for dwellings.
When the box cars are fitted up
with stoves, they ape known ap
"topluchaa." They are not [particu
larly warm in zero weather, but a
welcome change from the cold
'trenches in the snow.
The forests here are. dottdo with
' small blockhouses, built almost on
the model of the blockhouse forts of
the old American wars with' the In
dians, but have the added advantage
of being fairly shrapnel proof.
The fighting down along the rail-*
way line from the north has been,
since its beginning last August, a
combination of modern warfare,
with trenches and modern aVmA
and of bush fighting wherein sur
prise attacks in the weeds .figured
prominently.
