N ' A network of more than CS.OOOl miles of two- to twelve-inch pipe touch both coasts and spread into the mid-continent. connecting crude oil field with refineries and . industrial plants in distant sections of the country. This sys tem is estimated to represent an investment of $518,500,000 in the United States. . One of the largest compan'esl figured that if the work of trans porting, the oil were, taken over by the railroads tomorrow, it I would require two million tank cars, in addition to' 10,000 locomo tives, to handle it.

The system is made up of doz ens or trunk, lines, tapped by I gathering lines or feeders.

The pipes are laid thrve feet under ground. Oil is forced through the pipes by powerful pumps, located 30 to 0 miles spart along the line. The oil moves at a speed of three or four milee an hour, depending up on the contour of the country and the Tiscosity of the petroleum. . Building and laying of the pipe lines is similar to the construction of the railroads. Reconnaissance parties make the surrey, the pipe layers string the pipe along the CTOlinrL and : hn ' th ahallnw ditch ha. been dug. usually by WITH THE M I E li I CXN- DOLLAR MOTOR machine, it Is eased .

' Under farorable condition, a crew of 40 men can lay a mile of pipe a day. , The right of way, tel egraph and telephone lines - and sufficient acreage for - pumping sites are obtained br the surcbace or ."easements. In some states tne rignt or way may be obtained by condemnation proceedings. The power which the pipe lines hold has caused them to be de- uoea as puduc carriers, and .as such are under strict government! regulation.

Every day in the year the oil flows steadily. The Dumn-1 Ing stations are all connected with communication wires. Road men daily Inspect the . lines for leakage. The quantity of oil handled, by the lines Is more than 400,000.000 barrels annually, transported over a distance ranging from a fei tones' up to 1.400.
