In Mr.. Vests letter he says that
the oil will soon be exhausted. | do
not agree with Mr.. West along those
lines. In my judgment, Oklahoma
will be producing oil and gas, and in
large quantities, fifty years from now
1t is true that the gas will finally be
exhausted; but the production Of oil,
in my judgment, is only in Its infancy.
All Of this talk about the oil business
In oklahoma being almost exhausted
Is a huge joke.
