WHITTIER-C COYOTE FIELD

There was practically no change in
the output of the whittier Coyote dis

was estimated at 100000 barrels.
The Murphy Oil company and the
Central Oil company, principal operat-

their output by consistent and sue
cessful development work. The Muir

STANDARD BUYS HUGE
TRACT IN LOUISIANA
Trust Acquires Trees Property
Containing 25,ooo-BarreI
Gusher, for $e,o00,o00

Probably the largest deal ever made
in oil-producng property in the Unit
ed States has just heen closed in north
west Louisiana. where the Standard
Oil company bought the holdings OF
the Trees oil company, comprising
about 5000 acres, for $9,000,000 The
property has a daily production OF
close to $4,000 barxels of 42.3 gravity
oil from eight wells. One well is MAX
ing 10000 barrels daily, two 5000 bar
rels each and five others 5000 barrels
daily, all high gravity oil. The oil
contains high percentage of gasoline
and other power oils and therefore is
particularly valuable to the Standard
Oil company with its immense refining
facilities.
The property has a group of the most
productive high gravity oil wells ever
developed in the United States. The
biggest we'll came in at an $4,000 bar
rels a day clip q couple of months ago
and has settled down to 10000 barrels
daily The other wells are showing
staunch staying qualities.
The Trees company secured 1900
acres of the land in 1906 for 81 an acre
and one-eighth royalty and the remain-
der at similarly remunerative figures.
STANDARD SEES PROFIT
The quality of the oil produced and
the probabilities of further successful
development makes the deal an ex-
ceptionally good one for the Standard.
With it's facilities for getting every
thing possible out of the oil only a
short time will be required to make
the property highly profitable.
The Texas company, a strong COM
petitor of the Standard Oil company
In the refined and lubricating oil trade
of the world, recently developed 49,
O00-b barrel we'll of 1873 gravity oil on
property close to the Trees land. The
we'll has declined but slightly in out
put The Texas company has other
heavy producers of the gusher class of
the same oil over a wide territory
The position of the Texas company
probably had a great deal to do in in
fluencing the Standard in the Trees
purchase.
About two years ago a test well was
drilled upon the land where the Texas
company drilled in its 23,O00-barrel
we'll inexperienced operators drilled
the hole to about 1900 feet, encountered
difficulty, became discouraged and fin
ally leased to the Texas company, feel
ing sure there was no oil in the ter
ritory. The Texas company let the
lease lay idle for scme time, then went
in and drilled a hole not far from the
first test and struck the gusher at
about 2200 feet.

NEGROES BREAK OUT
 OF GREENVILLE JAIL
Five Prisoners Make Get-Away But One Returns-County Politics Are
 Hunning-Rice Mill Erected.

Greenville, January -tspecial.)-The sheriff and his deputies are busy today trying to capture the negroes who made a jail delivery last night from the coun- ty jail here. Five escaped, but one of them returned about daylight and told the jailer, William Kirksey, of the de- livery.
 After the prisoners had been fed last night about dark and the jail was quiet there were five negroes confined in one of the cells on the ground floor. They got to work immediately and near where the water works in the cell the steel was rusted, making 1t an easy jeb for them to bend the floor lose from it's fastenings and then by trying work to get the brick and mortar from beneath and worm passage under the steel bars of the cell wall until they got to the outside wall of the jail. Here they loosened the bricks with the short piece of iron pipe that they had been using and quickly had a hole In the wall Just before they got the hole in the wall completed the jailer passed on his rounds and one of the negroes began praying. When all was quiet again the way to freedom was complete and the five who had worked so hard wasted no time in making their getaway.
 The negroes escaping were Fred Foster, Moovere, Oscar Frost, Sam Williams and Andrew Carter. Oscar Frost went with the others but about daylight he crawled back and gave the alarm to the jailer. He said that he just went down to a friends house to get some tobacco.
 This is the third or fourth time within recent years that such 8 delivery has occurred. It seems that prisoners can break out whenever they take a mo- ton.
 judge, sheriff and country clerk is get ting warm. Three men have announced for the office of sheriff. All of them have been police officers or deputy sher- ifs and they know the office. Three men have announced for the office os clerk, one being the former sheriff, W. S. Watson and another being the clerk now in office, W. M. Nicholson. No can didates so far are out for the office of  at least and several more for the other two offices.
 A rice mill has been put into operation in Greenville and the farmers are plant ing rice for the next year. This Is a great benefit as the farmers have seed for the uplands as well as the lowlands. An important addition to the food crop could be made out of this rice if the farmers of Butler will take hold of 1t as it deserves.
 Representatives of an immigration syn dicate are expected here shortly to look over some 1000 acres of land with the view of puttig about 100 or 15O families on it. This will be a great boom for the county and for Greenville and the peo- pie of the county will welcome them With enen arms. The tract of land lies from { to 14 miles from Greenville and with good roads this will be an ideal truck ing section

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The SaIacious Show.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 First, let me thank your theatrical tastes and dramatic critic. "P. e. for his frank exposition of play presented Wednesday night at the Jefferson. In decent pictures used to advertise it should have warned away anyone with susceptible modesty and have winnowed the crowd of all but the souls already super-saturated with the filth that makes blushing impossible. But also it is fash ionable, or at least permissible, for the congregations of Sunday who thought themselves bored by theology. and who discussed the sermon of the morning over a sumptuous dinner to go to see the Maiden from Muckster's' on Wednes- day instead of the weekly prayer meet ing. The chief supporters Of the sala- cious and indecent plays which proclaim the exit of modesty are silly church members who love to gasp and reel shocked by the dirtiness on the stage which they would not tolerate-if it were known-in their own drawing rooms. Do they not know that by subtle psycho- logical law they have made themselves partakers with the mimic harlotry which they pay for the privilege of applaud ing? Jesus was speaking modern science as well as ancient morality when he said that the man who 1usts is spiritual adulterer
 We pastors wonder why 1t is that no great revival of religion occurs in Bir- mingham. We wonder that on Sunday nights the churches are almost empty. With as fine group of earnest sun day school workers as there are in the land we all, Catholic, Protestant ana Jew, wonder that the church commands so little respect among the young peo- pie. Why is 1t? Birmingham Is only an instances of the tremendous modern re- vival of pagan passion, sweeping through our beloved America. The young peopie learn from their elders that decency anu devoutness are chiefly matter or ap- pearance. God Is become a mere con venience, not to be tolerated II HIS laws contravene our desires. And me theatrical managers have found out tnh' the dirtier. a play is. if 1t can be seduct- lively advertised, the surer it Is or the attention and dollars of "the pest peo- ple. God pity usl A show Tn Sn'- cago recently had for its feature the dancing of an actres in bare legs. AT other In London attracts with the oance of an English o. Scottish society iaoy

WALSH LEARNING
 RULES OF PRISON

Leavenworth, Kan, January 20.-After an easy day spent mostly in reading and in learning prison rules, John R. Walsh, the Chicago banker who yesterday began serving a five-years sentence at the fed eral prison for misapplication of funds Of the Chicago National bank, retired early tonight
 The former banker will probably be as- signed to a task in the prison library next Monday Although MT Walsh attempted to close his business affairs before com ing here. little details are bound to arise that will require his attention.
 On account of this Warden McClaugh- rey has decided to grant him special dispensation whereby he can write more letters than the prison regulations ordi- narily permit The order will have to be approved by the department of justice. but if the warden recommends 1t tine ac- ton of the department will be merely per- functory.
 The usual restriction, providing that a prisoners correspondence must be read by the warden or, his assistant, will hold, however.
