THREE eusHERs GOING

TAFT, Aug. 27.-Monday three gush-
.ers were going on 36, 31-22-Nos. 79 and
6S of the American Oilfields and a
Santa Fe well opposite 5S of the Am
erican. No. 6S of the American and
the Santa Fe we'll were both doing be-
tween five and six thousand barrels a
day, the latter flowing between the
casing, and Jim O'Donnell of the Am
erican expressed the fear that 6S
would break loose.
The American Oilflelds has fully
600, 900 barrels in storage tanks and
on SO and has, eight wells shut in. The
big well, which is 112 feet in the sand
maintains it's enormous flow. The COM
pany employs an army of men and is
building three big boiler plants, an
electric plant and Ice plant.

LADY WASHINGTON BRINGS
IN LARGE ARTESlAN WELL

MARICOPA, Aug. 27.-Valuable oil
lands are threatened with irreparable
damage from water on sections 6 and
Z, 1928 where four wells are in the
water sand. Three of these, the john
son and Yellowstone on and the old
Lady Washington on 6, have been
standing for several months with no
attempt to shut off the water.
The latest and biggest water well of
all is the Lady Washington No. 2,
which struck an artesian flow ten days
ago. For a while the water was
forced eight feet above the top of the
eight inch casing.
AS this is the land for which the
land office recently refused F. G. Mum
ger and others patent it has been
suggested that Secretary of the In
terror Ballinger send man out to
cope with the situation.

RUSSIAN ANARCHIST TO
BE DEPORTED TO MEXICO

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 27.-Alexis Mihan,
alleged Russian anarchist, will be de-
ported to Mazatlan, Mexico, Septem-
ber 3.
The order for his deportation has
been in the hands of the local United
States immigration officials for some
time. He thus escapes trial in the
county courts for burglary and assault
with a deadly weapon.
Investigation also proved, according
to the police and United States Off
cials, that Mihan is an anarchist of
formidable reputation.

THOUSAND BARRELS DAILY

TAFT, Aug. 27.-The Santa Fe on
section 36-31-22 we'll No. / is flowing
between the eleven and nine inch cas-
ings, making about 1000 barrels. They
have three pump wells on this section
making from 300 to 500 barrels each,
and another just opposite American
Oilfields No. 79 in the sand at $40 feet.
The wells run from 916 feet to 1865 for
No. 1, the flowing well. The big 65,-
900 barrel reservoir when completed
together with one $4,000 barrel tank
furnishes ample storage to handle the
product unless they bring in well like
the American.
The Santa Fe wells are most all in
the sand with 10 inch castings. The
Santa Fe is probably running more
strings of tools than 9hy other COM
pany operating in Midway.

The Lake View No. oil company
drilling in the vicinity of the original
Lake View has reached a depth of
450 feet with a rotary. The present
hole was started August 10, and has
had to pass through very hard forma-
tion thus far, but Superintendent
Charles F. Off, who drilled the great
Lake View gusher, said yesterday that
he expected to enter the shale at a
depth of about $50 feet.
The ambition of this compony is to
penetrate the original Lake View
sand at a point thought to be on this
property at about 22S0 feet.
AT a depth of $50 feet there Is
thought to be an oil seepage, theory
borne out by a recent strike on Man

Washington, Oct. 2G.-Capt. Her

FARRELL said, may gain important in

be overwhelming. In naval warfare
airships would be able to sail over
an enemy's harbors and ascertain
what ships We're lying there, and pos
sibly drop explosives on both ships
and forts They could do immense
damage so long as the ships had no
guns capable of firing In the air.
Il am certain. however, that In a
few years battleships as well as land
artillery will possess guns which will

tances In the air. That will revolution

an effect as the submarine has had

OKLAHOMA NOT WILLING TO co

During the seventeen years the re

they neglected the initiative and ref

law was never passed in the interest
of labor, the fellow-servant law was
never enacted, no department OF labor
was ever created. they neglected the
creation OF n corporation commission,
the department of charities and cor
rectlons was never dreamed Of, they
never built a penitontiary but let tho
convicted boys of Oklahoma be scourc-
ed by the Kansas rod and resulted I'm
the shameful conditions that Kate
Barnard reported from that state, 1t
never did provide for a place TO keen
its insane and allowed them kept in
a private sanitarium where the own
ers neglected them and made a vast
profit on their keep and never pass
ed any law for the inspection Of
mines and prisons. And now Joe Nc
Neal and the republican hosts are
crying for a return TO such condl-

ARTICLE 9, SECTION 9.

The voters of Oklahoma should moi
get the Article 9, Section amend
ment to be voted upon in November
confused with the election held in
June. The corporation commission
told the people during that fight not
to vote for section 40 as proposed
June II, but to wait until November
when they would have an opportun-
ity to vote upon that question as sub
mitted by their own legislature. Col.
Watson, in his speech In Ardmore,
said the adoption of that amendment
would cripple the powers of the cor
poration commission, that amendment
II adopted will encourage railroad
building in this state. There Is abso.
lutely no doubt OF this statement.
There Is no doubt as to the statement
that the new amendment will not In
terfere with the powers of the state
in the regulation of railroads. The
people ought to support that amend
ment.
There IS a well defined prejudice in
this state in favor OF refusing TO make
any changes in the constitution and
this prejudice may result In CONTROL.
ing sufficient number OF votes TO
defeat any proposed change and the
people are right in guarding their IN
terests that have been so well pro-
tected in the constitution as first ad-
opted. That constitution is hard TO
beat but on the other hand II an
amendment can be voted whose tend
ency will be to further devc,ope the
state and which viii In no way relieve
the corporation commission or any de-
partments of the state Of any of their
powers then 1t certainly is the part
of wisdom to vote for such an amend
ment. The statements contained in
this article would have never been
written If we had not had 1t straI ht
from the corporation commission that
such an amendment would not inter
fere with the powers Of tho commits
