The sale is reported by the King 81
Evans people of the good property de-
venped by them east of Bald Hill,
the Okla Oil Co. being the purchaser
The property consists of about 400
acres with four producing wells and
two drilling wells, with about 200
barrels production and of course
great deal of drilling territory. The
price is not given, but it is under
stood that the owners cleaned up
nicely and King & Evans are being
congratulated on the sale. Joe King
deserves credit for having the requis-
ite knowledge of the game which en-
abes him to figure out the facts since
demonstrated that the Glenn sand
would carry oil toward the east, and
Mr. Evans also for the reason that he
was willing to back the game.

The two suits filed by the Central
Fuel oil Co. against the Bergen oil &

using gas pumps on their leases in
section 5-21-l3, came up before Judge
Campbell, Monday afternoon. 1t de-
Veloped that the eBrgen Oil g. Gas Co.
does not own the lease or gas pumps
yin controversy and the suit against
that company was dismissed. The at
torneys for Mr.. Ely filed a demurrer
which, in legal effect. admitted for
the sake Of argument that all the al
legations made by the plaintiff were
true, but raised the question that.
even If such facts were true no injunc-
ton to restrain the use OF gas pumps
could legally issue. At the close of
the argument on this demurrer, Judge
Campbell stated that 1t did not appear
to him that any injunction could is
sue but that he would consider any
briefs which the attorneys desired to
file and gave the attorneys for the
Central Fuel people five days in which
TO file their brief and the attorneys
for Mr.. Ely five days thereafter in
which to file their brief. Before the
hearing of the case commenced, the
attorneys for the Central Fuel people
filed an application on behalf Of
James Welch, the full blood Indian
allottee whose land they are drilling,
to be made a party plaintiff to the
suit Judge Campbell did not pass
on the application. The attorney for
the Central Fuel people also stated
that he had requested the Indian Of
flee to have the United States come in
as a party plaintiff.

Joe Mitchell Chapple in Chapple's
News Letter gives the feelings of
Admiral Dewey as he went into the
battle of Manila, in most entertain
ing manner as follows:
Sitting in his office recently and
looking upon the old sea chest which
contains the records of that fateful
day at Manila, asked Admiral Dewey
what was uppermost in his mind the
night before the battle of Manila,
when he contemplated entering har-
Dor mined with torpedoes. His eyes
sparkled as he replied
All night and all morning my
mind had reverted to one picture
that of Flag Officer Tarragut, whom /
first met at New Orleans in 1861.
There were no admirals in those days.
the captains being the highest rank
ing officers, and our commander was
the flag officer. We young cadets
grew instinctively to admire the in
trepid Farragut, and that night at Mo-
bile will never be forgotten when his
voice rang out loud and clear
Damn the torpedoes- speed
ahead Somehow that command
would ring in my ears every time dan
ger confronted us. One does not in
stinctively think of himself in such
but of some hero whose life
had impressed him..
Then | ventured to ask the admiral
why he did not give his command at
Manila in the same dramatic and stem

"Dewey's command to begin one of

given in an ordinary tone, as if he
we're simply ordering a cup of coffee.
History records it that he calmly said

HOW ABOUT THE SPECIAL
CHARTER?

Some time ago when the election
on the question of a commission form
of government for the city of Bryan
was abandoned. committees were ap-
pointed by the Commercial Club and
city council to act jointly in drafting
a special charter for the city. Has
this special charter been prepared.
and is it ready to be submitted to the
people for passage? If not, why
not? Who is blocking the game? Is it
the Commercial Club committee or
the council committee, or both?
Whether the form of government is
changed or not, Bryan needs a special
charter. The present charter is made
quate to the needs of a growing, pro-
city. 1t has limitations by
which the city is held in check and
prevented from doing certain things
that are greatly needed. The city gov.
erning body needs greater and en-
larged powers, which can come only
through special charter.
Let us cast aside every weight that
doth hinder and beset us, so we may
run the race set before us.

Announcements
oNcE-A-YEAR CHARITY.

The most sensible, most logical ed.
itorial that has come to our notice in
long time is the following from State
Topics on the subject of stuffing the
poor once year at the annual Christ
mas feed. State Topics says:
What travesty on Christianity is
this so-called charity annually be-
slowed with blare of trumpets. Much
fuss is made over giving a turkey din
ner to the poor on Christmas Day,
just as though any man, rich or poor,
can subsist whole year on one big
feed. Why don't these philanthropists
do something during the rest of the
year to ameliorate the condition of
the people they are willing to help
feed by public subscription one day
in each three hundred and sixty-fve?
Let them look into the wages paid the
clerks in the big department stores
and compare the wages paid with the
actual cost of mere existence. much
less the demands by the owners of
most of these stores that their clerks
shall dress beyond their means, in
many instances. Let these philan-
thropic individuals try to secure hon
est weights and measures from cor
porations which daily rob the people
and from firms which short-weight and
practically short-change the poor all
the year round. Give the little folks
grand and glorious Christmas, but
get this pin stuck in straight-the
poor would not need any big feed one
day in a twelvemonth if they could |
find employment, and If they were |
paid a living wage and were able to
get honest weights and measures.
Charity is humbug unless it is prac-
teal. More justice will eventuate in /
less charity-that is, what passes for
charity. True charity does not begin
or end with turkey diner once a
year."
