The Ponca City field, located a mile
south and a mile west from Ponca
City, in Kay county, oklahoma. had
its beginning four years ago when r..
w Marland of Pittsburg, Pa, made a
visit to the 101 Ranch. and secured a
lease on that large tract Of land. At
that time Mr. Marland had no asso-
ciates in his oklahoma venture. He
drilled a we'll to the Bartlesville sand,
2,575 feet, at the 10l Ranch house.
nine miles southwest of Ponca City.
This well showed a great number Of
good looking sands, but was dry in all
OF them. These sands were at 500,
800. 300, 1900. 1900, 2.1O0 and
2,525. There was fifty feed Of good
looking sand from 2,525 to 2.575, and
about 100 feet of sand at 1850 to
1877. This 1900 foot sand was not
ed at the time as being a very likely
looking sand, and afterward proved to
be the productive sand of this field,
but not before eight dry holes had
been drilled by Mr. Marland and his
associates
In May. 1910, Mr.. w II. McF'ad-
den Of Pittsburg, Pa, became inter
ested In the Ponca City district, and
Joined Mr.. Marland In the develop
ment of the 10l Ranch property,

of Mr.. McFadden il due, largely the
credit Of opening up the Ponca city
field Mr.. Marland and Mr.. McFad-
den took up their headquarters at
Ponca City two years ago and have
devoted their attention almost ex-
clusively to the development Of that
country since that time. Mr.. McFad-

Kay and Kl0wa OH Company.
The Ponca city field has given rise
to another very important enter
prise; that is the development Of
school lands throughout the state
| The Kay & kiowa oil Company, n.
w Marland and others, secured
leases on a vast amount of school
land with d number of sections in
the Ponca City field. They have jest
drilled their ninth well ON one OF
these school sections. and have
very large gas production. This gas
is being piped to Arkancas city,
Winfield and Wellington. Kan, an
eifht-inch line being just about com.
ple,ed.
The same company has opened
up very promising shallow sand oil
field near Gotebo. kiowa County,
Oklahoma, about one hundred mil $
southwest Of oklahoma city. Some
drilling was done near GOtebo about
ten years ago. and n number Of very
sinal wells were opened up. At
ttat time the price of oil was so
low, pipe lines and tank cars SO few
that Gotebo did not appear 60 be
proi able proposition. When Mr.
Marand secured lease3 on school
lands about Gotebo, and commenced
drilling there interest was revived

VIII Mark Jews, Ballots.

Chicago, April 9.-What is believed
to be an unprecedented action in def
erence to religious faith was taken
when the county court granted an
order permitting judges and clerks of
today's primary election to mark bal
lots for all voters of the orthodox
Jewish faith. Today is the last and
most sacred day of the Hebrew fes-
tival OF the Passover, and under an
cient laws of Judaism the orthodox
faithful may not write on that day.
Except for the order of the court, be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 Chicago voters
would have been disfranchised today,
or would have had to violate the ten
cts OF their religion.

ROOSEVELT AND TAFT
CLASH IN ILLINOIS

Chicago, April 9.-With state pres
idential preference primary in prog
ress, in addition to the state and
county primaries Of all parties for
naming candidates from governor
down, and a women's suffrage pro-
posal before the Chicago voters, today
| is about the busiest day in the polit-
ical annals of Illinois.
Both Roosevelt and Taft adherents
are claiming victory in the presden-
tial priamry of the republicans, with
the indications apparently favoring
Colonel Roosevelt Today's test is
considered a crucial one for the
Roosevelt boom, and it is admitted by
his supporters that if he should fail
to carry Illinois the colonel will get a
black eye from which he can hardly
recover. For this reason the friends Of
the former president have been living
the strenuous life since the emergency
primary act was passed ten days ago,
and they are now resting on their oars
confident that Colonel Roosevelt will
win out.
President Tafts friends stole a
march ON the insurgents by filing
their petition first, with the result that
the presidents name heads all the
rest on the separate ballot which will
determine Illinois republicans choice
for the presidency. The fear of the
Roosevelt men is that Senator LaFol-
lette will have enough friends among
the republican progressives of Illinois
to so split the insurgent vote as to
enable Tai to win out. The progress
sives are admittedly far more numer-
GUS in Illinois than the Lorimer-Lin-
coin League followers.
On the democratic side the follow
ers of Champ Clark are apparently
most confident, although it is expected
that the vote will be close. Governor
Deneen is a candidate for renomina-
ton on the republican ticket The
democratic primary ballot contains the
names of three candidates for the
gubernatorial nomination, former
Mayor Edward F. Dunno, Samuel AL.
schiller and Ben F. Caldwell. Alto
gether the fight among the candidates
of both parties has been merry one
characterized by much vituperation
The opponents of Governor Deneen
have repeatedly declared that he is
the enemy of Lorimer only during cam,
Ipaigns. There are more than hall a
hundred names on the ballots of each
party and the voters are having 8
busy time of it making their selec
tons.
The women are also taking prom
inent part in today's primary, as Chi
cago votes today on plan for giving
the ballot to the fair SEX The suffra
gettes are out in force today and are
adding a spectacular finish to hard
fought campaign. For days all of the
sidewalks in the downtown district
have been chalked with the slogan
Votes for Women" the suffragis
leaders having obtained permission t.
carry on this sort of an advertising
campaign.
