cleaned up. OF course, the district
will not be able to produce anywhere
near to its limit until better facili-
ties for handling the oil prevail, but
there are a number of progressive oil
men in the new district and they are
not sitting down in idleness, waiting
for something to turn up" They are
doing all they can to help themselves
As a result, oil probably will be ship

From some cause, very slow prog

tion OF plans for a refinery. The SAN
IA Fe uipe line seems to be in the
way The refinery people feel that
this line could be used and a great
saving effected The Santa Fe does
not like to have someone else extend
their line to the Healdton field 1t
might cause them much trouble some
dav for them to own a portion OF the
line and someone else the other por'
ton. The Santa Fe also seems 10
be slow in making the extension them

state that if the pipe line was bull.
on to the fields they would not have
trouble in getting a refinery here. 1t
means much to the Santa Fe to have
this refinery on their line, and II
seems reasonable to think that the
road would do anything reasonable
TO locate it here. Plans are being
made to have all of Ardmore to JOIN
in a petition to Mr.. Pettibone, asking
him to extend the line to Healdtor
and make it a common carrier. II
case this is not done, the Magnolia
people will be asked to build loadins
racks either at Addington or Wauriki
and oil will be loaded there for ship
ment to refneries elsewhere. SOM
big companies are now figuring ol
making oil purchases from the Healo
ton field and the outlook for the pre-
dncers is better than it was a wee
ago.

has been found in the SO0-foot sand

which was dry. One reason given lor
not drilling deeper is that there is no
market for the oil. There are num-
her of other tests drilling and the
next few weeks will give some idea
in what direction an extension may
be found. For the benefit OF those VINO
