pany in exactly six months. and repre-
sents the laying OF eight-inch pipe
frrm the Glenn Pool, $50 miles through
tht, Indian Territory and go miles
through Texas to Sour Lake. where

Striking Oil Everywhere.
The Gulg Coast region Of Texas and
louisiana had mountaineering pro-
du.,tion in 1905, but since then there
has been a decrease. in that field coin-
| cident with development in the Indian
| TERRITORY where in the Glenn Pool
| field more than 700 wells have been
| completed, and where for months past
the daily production has exceeded To-
900 barrels, and If facilities could have
been provided to handle the. full ca
paclty of the walls, 1t might just as
easy had been 100000 or 10000 bar
rels a day. The companies having
4 large investments in retineries II
Southeast Texas, were confronted will
a somewhat serious proposition whar
/ the production OF oil in the Gulf Coas
i region began to fail

4 Their requirements amounted to 90,
600 or 25, 900 barrels a day, and stock!
were being drawn upon to the exten
4 OF 10000 barrels or more a day, 1t WA
z inevitable that they should look to TIN
. Indian Territory in making plans TO
4 their future supply. The eXcellen
quality of the Territory crude for re
. nning purposes, as compared with Gul
Coast oil, which is heavy and bette
adapted to fuel use than to refining
was a further attraction. With an tade
uuate supply of Indian Territory OF
the Southeast Texas refiners figure
that they would be upon an equal ba
