ALL EYES ON
WELL NO. Z
DRILLING HAS CEASED UNTIL
PIPE CAN BE LAID TO STORAGE
TANKS AT NO. I.

Yesterday quite a number of inter
ested oil men left for the Healdton
fields with the expectation of seeing
well No 2 in section (McCmre tracD
brought in, but owing to the fact that
the owners are expecting a gusher,
and want TO conserve the supply, drill,
ing has ceased until pipe line can be
laid to the tanks at well No. |.
The Humble well in section 9 has
had bad luck by casing dropping, and
it will require a good deal of work to
get that in shape before drilling can
be resumed. In the meantime work
on the REX" in the east half of sec
tion 9 is being rushed night and day,
and it is expected that this will be the
next well to be brought in as the de-
lay caused by the accident to the Hum
BILE well will permit the drillers of
the Rex to outstrip them in the race.
The Rex well is on the Apple, Frank
lin and Harreld properties, and they
have rigged an electric light dynamo,
so that a night shift can operate the
rig.

ENID STRONG FOR
IRRIGATION PLANS
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND
ROCK ISLAND AGREE TO COOP
ERATE.

Enid Okla, Oct. 27.-H. NJ. Cotter-
al, agricultural commissioner for the
Rock Island railroad, accompanied by
Il. R. Bennett, an irrigation specialist
and George L. Rhodes of the immigra-
ton department, were in Enid Friday
to confer with the Enid chamber of

ment of irrigation in this section. Sec

vey department expecting to secure a
thorough survey of Garfield county
with respect to its underground water
supply.
Enid and the territory Immediately
surrounding it for many miles is known
to possess the most abundant under
ground water supply to be found any
where in the west. There is a stra-
tum of coarse gravel forty feet thick,
through which flows an underground
river. This water in many places is
only twenty feet from the surface.
Enid already is an irrigation center,
as the water can be pumped very easi-
ly and very cheaply from this unlim-
tied supply, and the chamber OF COM
merce hopes, with the aid of the Rock
Island people, who will bring immi-
grants to make this section of Gar
field county one of irrigated truck gar
dens, orchards and alfalfa patches.
The work now being started is Of
practical nature, to give the farmers
definite information as to the exact
cost of irrigating. and the possibili-
ties in this county.
At the close of this coupty's most
severe drouth, there are many truck
gardens and orchards about Enid,
which have remained green and pro-
ductive throughout the entire season,
on account of irrigation, and already
the local farmers are awake to the
possibilities of Ends wonderful water
supply. Mr. Bennett Friday expressed
the opinion that the possibilities of
irrigation here from wells is unlim-
tied.
