l.ADDO OIL FIELD
No Field i'm the World Can Show
Such Heavy Production.

/ Vivian Times The Oil and Gas
Journal Jast week gave out the re
port on The completion and produc-
lion of Gaddo field as follows for the
month of September: Twenty-nlne
compilations with a total Of 23,225
barrels of new oil per day. or an aN-
erage Of SOP barrels per well ped
day. including & gassers and 3 re-
ported dry holes.
Doubtless no field in the world can
show such heavy production per
well, and without absolute failures
and take into consideration the
gravity of the oil is from II to III.
The best refining oil in the United
States. 1t is facts that count.
The Dampef reports on produc-
ton of Caddo field with all the big
wells pinched down TO about one
fifth their normal production is no
telling how much oil Caddo would
make if all the big wells were turned
wide open to full capacity. II would
take three more pipe lines to begin
to handle this tremendous produc-
ltlon.
This covers The whole situation IN
Red river through the field will
make competitive rates. and locate
make competitive rates. and locate
reiineries here al Vivian where the
small developer will not be at the
absolute mercy of the pipe lines as
they are now.
{ 1t is very strange why the Oil
Journals always describe the big oil
production at Vivian as Monterey
district. Perhaps this is done to de-
tract from the publicity of Vivian
as an oil field center, as Monterey
does not show on the oil field or the
state maps.
And their continued persistence i'll
advising the small operator to stay
out of this expensive field when il
icosts four times as much to operate
in California or Mexico to get the
same gravity of fuel oil from the
shallow strata as the deep strata
the oil is from II to al gravity, and
really the best refining oil in the
limited States.

Personal Mention.

Mrs. C. II. Irion, who has been al
most two weeks in the Schumpert
Memorial Sanitarium, is daily inn
proving and hopes to be able to re-
turn to her home in Benton some
time this week. During Mrs. IRONS
absence from home the boys, Cliff
ton and Vally. are carrying on home
affairs with their father and the lit
tie daughter Of the home, Mary
Clint, is visiting her mothers friend,
Mrs. Edwards. As the children are
ambitious pupils they are regularly
at school, which helps to bear the
loneliness of their mothers absence.
Mr. w. FL. Scanland of Benton is
still patient at the Shumpert San
itarium. Though cheered by the
presence Of Mrs. Scanland and the
visits Of solicitous friends, Mr.. Scan
