MET DEATH IN ELEVATOR.
Fairview Lad Smothered in Huge Biz
Of Wheat.

Fairview, Okla, August 24.-Youne
Harry Lester, aged thirteen, met a
cruel death today while assisting his
father in the conduct of the grain ele-
vator. The boy was attending TO the
engine and looking after the elevation
Of the wheat. II is presumed that
something got wrong with the wheat
eonveyors and they became ehoked up
and that young Lester went down into
the pit and fell headlong into the big
storage pit heavily loaded with wheat
His struggles were in vain and nc
outward cry could be heard. The boy
smothered to death with his father
not more than hundred feet away
attending to his duties as agent of the
Choctaw. Two hours later, finding
the young man not at his post, the
father began to search and finally
found him, with wheat protruding
from the wheat, the rest of his body
olt of sight.

in the NV of NV of 13-2l-12.
The opening up of the country be-
tween Tulsa and Skiatook has only
recently begun. and the results in al
most every hole drilled are more than
encouraging.
Pretty nearly every hole put down
has proven a producer. and the last
two, with something like three miles
between them, may be said to prove
out field that will loom un big in
future operations.

News Of the Oil World

Oil was first discovered in Musko-
gee in 1894 when two wells we're
sunk. In one of these flow OF
twelve barrels per day was found at
a depth of only 665 feet. The other
was drilled to 100 feet and yielded
sixty barrels per day. Developments
ceased for a decade, when in 1904
operations were renewed and large
number of wells drilled. Most, if not
all of these we're HOO and 1850 feet
The Muskogee oil is of parafine
base and is the best obtained from
the Kansas-Indian Territory feld.'
Its gravity test is "A degrees Baume,
while the oil of the other fields is
only from 2S degrees TO 33 degrees
by the same standard.
During the 1904 developments
considerable gas was found at about
800 feet. The ice and electric light.
plants installed gas burning appa-
ratus but the supply came from
small local pockets and was soon ex-
hausted. Naturally gas is not now
found there in commercial quantities
so Muskogee is preparing to pipe gas
from the Ramona field.
In its balmiest days the field is
reported to have produced 1000 bar
rels per day. Most of this product
was bought by the Standard Oil
company. A portion of it, however,
was refined in Muskogee by a small
independent refinery. The output
has now shrunk to less than 100 bar
rels per day and the local refinery
is the sole buyer.

FIRST OIL DEVELOPMENTS
Twelve Years Ago Muskogee Field
Was the Only Producer.

A short time since the Oklahoma
Geological Survey corps made an
extended stay at Mnskogee, l. t.
During this stop they made a sur
vey of the Muskogee oil field. That
field, which extends in a northeast,
southwest direction from the south
central portion of the townsite, is
nearly one fourth of a mile wide and
less than a mile in length. Its total
area is less than one hundred acres.
Geologically the oil is found in an
anticline or up fold in the earth crust
in the Mississippi series of forma-
tions and just below what the drillers
know as the Mississippi lime stone.
This is the only instance, so far as
the writer knows, in which oil has
been found below that lime stone.

Among the able editorials in recent issue of the
Cowea Courier was an article "Thc Mail Order House.
which stated the plainly and laid the blame pri-
mary the merchants for not advertising enough and
not quoting prices enough when they do advertise.
One of the cleverest things in the mail order eata-
ogue is the universal plan of giving the price of every
tele advertised Analysed the effect of this plan is about
like this: Farmer Jones reads minute description of
buggy There is good picture of the vehicle, and the
price displayed in big figures He knows he has enough
money to pay for it, he uneonseousy that the
price is low and the who offers is must be
confident that the price will stand comparison and be
found low If the seller not confident that the
price right he would hesitate to print il that other
dealers could shade it a rihe and steal his trade So
Farmer Jones buys the buggy which the mail order
shows his confidence in and there you are.
