Pipeline to coast may start here
Trans western Pipeline Com-
pany of Houston has asked
the Federal Power Commis-
sion for an early hearing on
an application for construc-
tion of a natural gas pipeline
which would extend from Ca-
nadian, Texas to Roswell, New
Mexico, and westward to the
California Arizona border.
The Houston company is
proposing construction of a
$190 million natural gas pipe-
line Which would carry gas
from the northeastern Pan-
handle of Texas to markets
on the west coast.
As the project is now out-
lined, it proposes construction
and operation of 670 miles of
30-inch main line from Ros-
well to the project's sole cus-
tomer, Pacific Lighting Gas
Supply Company, on the Cali-
fornia border near Topock,
Arizona; and construction of
two laterals from Texas points
to Roswell.
One would be 90 miles of
24-inch line from Roswell to
Carlsbad, and 97 more miles
to Ward County, Texas; and
the Panhandle lateral of 298
miles of 24-inch line from Ros-
well to Canadian.
Also proposed are gathering
lines of 654 miles, including
65 miles of 20-inch line; 45
miles of 18 - inch line; 108
miles of 12 - inch line; 158
miles oí 10 - inch line; 116
miles of 8-inch line; 103 miles
of 6-inch line; and 59 miles
of 4-inch line.
The company has requested
a hearing "at the earliest pas-
sible date prior to October 1,
1958."
In Washington, however,
FPC officials said that "the
application is still under an-
alysis by the staff" and would
give no estimate as to when
a hearing might begin.

Canadian tomorrow night (Friday) at 7:30 o'-

four starts last week-end at

The Wildcats defeated Mc-

early in the game in handling
Tiger scat-backs David and
Douglass Crockett.
The Crockett brothers, Da-

sophomore this year, have
been making fans sit up and
take notice already this sea-
son. With them in an all-let-
terman backfield are quarter-
back Jim Rice, a 150-pound
senior this year, and halfback
Jerry Biggers, 140-pounds and
also a senior.
In the forward wall, the Ti-
gers have only four lettermen
. . . but the McLean line, one
of the smallest in the district
this season, is reported to be
a hard-charging combination.
Heaviest man on the Tiger
squad is 175 - pound junior
tackle Bob Weaver, who did
