radius Of fifty miles Of Tulsa was in
such AN Interesting state Of develop
ment as It is at the present moment.
or course, we mad the big Glenn pool
four years ago, but this had its pen
altics as well as IT'S benefits. It pro-
duccd flood Of oil, bore the market
price down to the lowest point ever
known In he history Of Oklahoma
production, and caused great stag
nation Of drilling in other adjacent
fields. The situation is entirely diff
ferent at the present time. We now
have many districts in which good
wolls are being brought in, and while
We have no single great pool, we
have many little pools that are prov
ing to be very profitable and that are
giving employment to a great num-
Der OF people.
Recent Competitions.
Beginning with the southern end Of
Creek county, we may mention the
fact that a number of excellent wells
have recently been completed there.
among them being one by DR. Skel-
tom of Okmulgee, near the town Of
Morris, another in the north edge OF
the old Morris field brought in by
Rebold & company; and two other
wells brought In by Martin & COM
pany near the old Hamilton Switch
field. These wells range in production
from about three hundred barrels up
to eight hundred and in some cases
they Indicate the presence of oil
sands Of considerable magnitude.
Coming farther north, we find ex-
cellent results being secured in a por-
ton Of the old Glenn pool which had
never been drilled over, but which Is
now under development by the East
ern OIL company and the Harmon oil
company. Producers In the Glenn
sand running from four hundred to
seven hundred barrels have been OBJ
tanned by these companies and each
OF them has very considerable
amount OF territory yet to be explored.
Activity Near Sapulpa.
Then we come up to the district
west OF Sapulpa, where Kelly and
others have found S0O-barrel pro-
ducer with every probability Of the
bringing In of other good wells.
Moving over to the Arkansas river,
we have, just opening up, six or seven
miles south Of Tulsa, two oil pools,
that known as the Turkey Mountain
pool and another known as the Perry
man pool, both of which are sure to
produce very considerable quantity
of oil and to give employment to
large number of men this fall and
wntor.
In the Bird Creek Field.
Going north Of Tulsa we pass into
the Bird Creek field, which never in
its history has had so many good

THE WINDUP.

In the evening the Ordway band
gave one OF their much appreciated
concerts at the park. which was lis
tened to by large crowd.
This concluded the formal program
for the day, but the crowd did not
dispcrse till midnight. t.-----------.--
Denver boulevard was handsome
sight during the celebration. In ad-
dition to the drapcries and dccora-
tions. flags were flung to the breeze
from many OF the buildings. and sew
en- strings OF flags. containing about
sixty in all. were hung across the
boulevard between Second and Fourth
streets. The Ordway Electric Light
and Power company had strung four
wires across the boulevard from Grif-
fin & Colgin's. the Ordway Hardware
company. Downcy Bros. & Co.. and
the Hotel Ordway. and when the
Juice" was turned on at night the
street was as light as day. This was
a very graceful act on the part OF the
company and was much appreciated
by the people.
Great praise is due the committee OF
arrangements and others for the eff
cicnt way in which the affairs OF the
day were handled. Not a hitch oc-
CURED and everything passed off
pleasantly.
