At Healdton the situation has been
somewhat complicated by the compile.
ton Of a we'll in the 4Oo-ft. stratum,
about 25-barrel producer as nea. IS
can be arrived at. Two dry holes in
the regular formations, one in sec
ton . and one in section 3, he two
sections in which the Red River Oil
Company wells are located, have ap-
parently kept pretty we'll covered up.
A very careful Texas operator no
was scouting the country, thinks that
these two tests are dry, but the boost
ers have made no report on them
yet. The geology of that section is
very uniform and reliably indicated
and will stand hitched when proper
ly handled. Acreage is higher than
a cats back in Carter, Stephens and
adjacent counties, altogether o'tt Of
proportion to the showing, ra-ed by
all consistent Oklahoma standards,
probably accounted for by he fact
that a good many Texas operators
are in there, for southern operators
are enthusiastic bidders for possible
oil territory within their boundaries
and the Healdton field is close TO
Texas. 1t looks very much like a
boom is on there from the touting
that is going en- over 25 to 1oO-barrel
wells, when 5000 an acre is paid for
blocks of leases out of sight of the
Wells.

CFrom Fuel Oil JournaD
c. n. Payne of the Magnolia Pc
troleum Company of Texas and D.
G. Stewart, pipe line manager and
oil buyer. were in Tulsa within the
last ten days and gave out first-hand
information regarding the proposed
S-inch pipe line from near Electra,
Texas, to Cushing, Okla, and other
Oklahoma districts. Both officials
stated that just as soon as the pipe
could be delivered to the Texas end,
work would begin. 1t will be laid
through Carter and Stephens coun-
ties near Healdton, where several
producing wells have recently been
completed, and if the production
there furnishes enough for the COM
pany's needs, the line may stop there
awhile; if not, then it will be laid
right along to Gushing as fast as pos
sible. The Magnolia needs more
crude of a refining grade, and it is
going out after it. Mr. Stewart was
in Oklahoma a number of years and
knows that he can get all the oil he
needs as soon as the line is complet-
ed, and Mr.. Payne is no piker when
it comes to laying several hundred
miles of line to get either oil or
gas. The Magnolia has doubled its
stations on the Electra Beaumont
line and is putting in a number of
distributing stations in Oklahoma for
its refined products.

SoWED WILD OATS LATE IN LIFE
Father Tells Court That Son, Aged e3, Is
 Profllsate Young Rake

The sad story of an errlng son has been placed on police court records in Chicago. William H. Palmer. Jr.. is his name. He is a rollicking young rake of 63 and bis father. William H., ST, who is S6 years old, called upon the police to check Williams in dustf7 in wild oats sowing. Said the father to Judge Sabath:
 T think he should stop sowing wild oats. He drinks great deal He comes home and acts like young colt l find it difficult to control him You can see for yourself that he must be hard for me to manage. He weighs 25O pounds tell him he'll ruin his constitution if he keeps on the way he's going. but it does not make any difference. I want you, judge, to help me make man of him"
 "I agree with you" said the court, ad- dressing the father William is getting to be big boy now. It's time he learned to behave himself"
 William, at the "request" of the judge, signed the pledge.

THE GOOD CITIZEN

He often told his fellow men That he was a good citizen; He watched his nei2hbors every day Lest one of them might go astray. He saw that each man paid his tax, And stirred them up when they were lax. He told them how to buy and sell And how to rear their children well. He was trustee, tried and true, A member of the school board, too. And often swore, with many frown, No wrong should creep into his town. He never fed tramp-not he! That would encourage vagrancy, The righteous soul within him shrank rom any man who gamed or drank; And once he had luckiess maid ''ent from the home where she had strsyed When he had gone beyond the skies, Hoping to put the angels wise, 2aint Peter took enc look at him And then remarked in accents grim: Co down to Satans birthstone pens; He needs a few good citizens"

A REAL PIONEER

George Roberts. who IS guest at the Hotel Mason, says the Tacoma Ledger, is one of the oldest native sons of w ashlngton, having been born of Scotch percentage at old Fort Vancouver, Wash, August l, lS45. His father was master mariner in the employ of the Hudson Bay Company, and was one of the first navigators to enter the Columbia river. His first visit to Wash ington was in 1882, when he landed at Fort Vancouver Roberts, now going on 69 years of age, is hale and hearty and in a couple of days will return to his donation claim, fine farm now near Chehslis. His story is interestng
 My father was born in Suffolk county England, of Scotch parents. He was sent to Greenwich, where he received thorough education and became master in naviga tion I have been told that the first vessel in the Columbia came in 1925; however that may be, my father was sent with a vessel around the Horn to the Vancouver post in 1882 Later he returned to Eng land and there married my mother They returned to Vancouver in lS44 and the next year was born. l remember well tie cid fort built by the company at the place where l WAS born.
 My father then settled there and was given charge of the business accounts of Ghe post Later he took up station on Cowlltz prairie. There wree thousands of Indians all through this country then. In 1850 my mother died and my father, fear
 ing the company would send him to some post in the interior, moved onto the New aukum prairie and took up land donatl,n claim there, with myself and my two bab. sisters In 1854 he married a Scotch woman In 1854 and 1855 the Indian wars occurred, during which my father was ac tive as commissary officer. In 1857 he joined in the geld rush to the Fraser river,
 in British Columbia, and he was up there for some time.
 He returned to the farm, however, and followed that occupation for many years. He signed the farm over to me in the early '70s, and in 1883 he died. l have been holding the old place ever since. It is one of the finest old farms in the state. was offered SlO,OOO for it tLe other day, but cant see my way clear to sell it. ,,t come back to the Coast after visiting my daughter in Minneapolis. l guess there aren't many men in the state who can say they have lived here more than 6S years"

FAIRBANKS MEN GRABBED
"lnnocent Spectators" Arrested in Gambling
 House Raid in Dawson

Earty in October the Central hotel at Dawson was the scene of gambling raid, and in the roundup 29 persons were taken into custody some of them being Fair banks men who were stopping at the hotel pending the departure of their boats for the upper river. They were innocent spec tators, but they had considerable difficulty convincing the authorities of that fact. Fifteen of those arrested were playing at the time, and the other II were in the room, some of them looking on.
 Pete Sutherland, proprietor of the hotel was given 30 days in jail at hard labor on tte charge of keeping common gaming house, and those convicted of gambling were fined from $40 to slO0 each by Judge McCauley, before whom the cases were tried.

cution, numbering among other things crlm- inal conspiracy, perjury and theft of public funds.
 It IS quite apparent that instead of the defeat humbling the tiger and quieting the Tammanyites they are more aggressive and vindctive than ever.
 Even lawyers recognize that Sulzer Is in a serious position, and 1t will cost him an enormous sum to clear himself if he can do so The evidence which was submitted to the impeachment court is in itself suttl cient to railroad him if necessary, but it is claimed that in order to prevent Sulzer obtaining the protection of privilege or i'm munisy, they will produce original evidence of no less startling nature than that of fered in the impeachment case.
 It is evident that Sulzer expects Tam many to make such 8 move next and he is anything which would precipitate matters. If the cases can be postponed until after January, with friendly legislature and still more friendly court to hear his case, there is no reason to fear. But as things are at present Sulzer runs imminent risk of going to the penitentiary and being denied even his liberty on an appeal.
 Reports are that Sulzer will be made the defendant in cases involving moral turpl tude" to the extent of no less than eight different offenses. This is however, nearly all merely report founded on conjecture. Tammany has not shown its hand and Mur phy is doing very little talking.

Testimony as to Hazardous Occupation of

"A member of the Brotherhood of Train men is killed every seven hours and fifteen minutes, and every nine minutes 8 man is mamed,'
 This was the testimony of William Lee, representing the Order of Railway Trainmen at the meeting of the arbitration commis. sion in New York recently, in the contro- yersy between 42 Eastern railroads and their conductors and trainmen over the employees demands for more pay and shorter hours. When this statement was challenged later by Elisha Lee counsel for the railroads, William Lee cited statistics from the inter state commerce commissions report. This report on June 30 last gave 3635 railroad employed killed in the United States during the year.
