gest producing wells are on full-blood
Indian allotments. This is true of the
Bullhead No. 5 well, which flowed 100
feet in the air while the Sells party
was in the field.
Healdton oil operators claim that
the seepage and evaporation of oil in
tankage amounts to from 25 to so per
cent, and that the cost of storing and
insuring oil in field ranges from 25
to 80 per cent, while the gravity of
stored oil falls off from 3 to 5 per
cent. All the figures, used in this ar
ticle were included in testimony Civ
en- by operators before Commission
er Sells and Lieutenant Richardson
yesterday.
The Healdton operators are asking
congress to enact a bill, which was
drafted by their officers in connection
with Attorney General West and At
torney George Henshaw of the state
corporation commission, giving to this
field as well as all others relief from
present conditions by divorcing the
carriers of oil from producers, making
all pipe lines common carriers and
making them subject to antitrust leg
islation generally.
After visiting the Healdton field
one member of the official party said:
There is more oil flowing daily down
the Bayou in this field and Tiger creek
in the Cushing field than is produced
in many of the well-known fields of
the country The thousands of bar
rels of oil in Bayou creek, a total loss
showed more than any other thing the

Notice from City.

Some of the Ardmore citizens have
formed a habit of lettering their
cows on vacant lots and on wide
walks where grass is near and de-
struction to shrubbery and trees has
resulted in many instances. The police
have been instructed to take any cat
tie held by lariat anywhere and place
them in the pound the same as if they
were running loose upon the commons.
Owners of cattle will please take no
tice that such instructions have been
given the police.

the purchase was not very much, but
the Hill home was saddened when it
was discovered that the slippers had
been lost, and the little girl whose
expectancy had been wrought up to a
high pitch, was the saddest member
Of the family. Mr.. Hill resorted to the
use of a small ad in the evening Ard

lost bundle, returned it to the Hill

work so easy that the fellow who
pays the soc feels like he is taking
something for nothing.

the government by violating rules and
regulations of the department of ag-
riculture An employe in the statis-
tical department gave out information
as to crop conditions before the time
for release, and caused much specula-
tion on Wall street. The defendants
were convicted. The case was appeal
ed to the supreme court of the
United States, and the judgment of
the lower court was affirmed. The
only difference in the two cases is that
the one charged conspiracy to defraud
