this State has the business looked as
promising as at the present time. The
runs and shipments are favorable to the
trade, and, while the price of the product
is hardly satisfactory to the trade, they
are doing but little kicking, as they now
have an opportunity to make more cash
than they did when the product was down
around the forty-cent mark. The business
is growing rapidly, and when the high
ways become passable, an enormous
amount of work is looked for Producers are
fiocking to the oil field daily, and many
of them are wandering out into what is
considered wild cat territory, and will
drill as soon as the weather will permit
