PUTTING OFF INFANT GARMENTS

"You are going to wake up here one
of these morning and find the prairies
literally covered with steel tanks"
said r. NJ. McFarlin, Oklahoma's big
gest oil producer, who was a visitor
to the field yesterday. 1t became
known today that a contract had been
awarded to a rig building firm for the
construction of 175 rigs, and all ef-
forts TO ascertain who let the contract
was without results. There will be
vast amount of drilling, steel storage
tanks will be built, and Healdton oil
will be brought to the surface.
The producers and the state cor
poration commission have made their
best efforts to control the production
and sale OF Healdton oil and after all
that has been done only part of the
production is selling at SOC, while oil
in the northern portion of the state IL
selling at Csc. This has caused a feel
ing of unrest Many of the producers
feel that an error has been made and
they are clamoring now to see the
field turned loose. There is no criti-
cism against the corporation commits
sicn. producers feel that the commits
sion has done all that it could do, but
the trade laws of supply and demand
have been of greater weight than the
statutes.
Unless we get up now and go while
going is good. there will be another
field brought in" said a producer" and
Healdton will have to lie idle and
mark time for another twelve months.
The Healdton field has only been
touched. more wells will be drilled
here than have ever been drilled in
Gushing, no test has ever been made
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-08-22
WHICH WAY WILL CAT JUMP?

Producers are watching closely to
see which way the cat will Jump.
Whether steel storage will be put in
or not, is the question agitating their
minds. If the big deal pending goes
through. there will be some steel tanks
built. r. NJ. McFarlin predicts that
tank farms will be built. The small
producer wants to know that tanks
are necessary before he buys them
Steel tanks run into money mighty
fast. If the oil can be sold at the well
the small man would rather make
sales that way. There is no chance to
make a big loss with oil in the ground,
and there is a chance when steel tanks
are built and big loans are contracted
1t is the opinion of many that the
field has been held in restraint about
as long as it well can and that before
many weeks, every order will be lifted
unless it is the order against earthen
storage, which should be outlaWed in
every field in the world. Jack Love
has never stood for restraints, and
Judge Henshaw would be mighty glad
to be relieved of the oil strife. and
Judge Humphrey who is a new man
and who is working very hard, will
reach the same conclusion when he
has been in the business as long as
Judge Henshaw has been.

for a deep sand, and there is every
reason to believe that HealdtOn will
surpass the enormous production of
the Gushing field. 1t was the deep
sand that made Gushing, and it will
be the deep sand that will make Heald-
ton"
No effort will be made to try to
get out from under the corporation
commission, but the commissioners
will be shown why it is )etter to turn
the field loose. A representative of
two local companies is now in Kan
sas City negotiating for the purchase
of steel tanks. Healdtou field has
been guided through its infancy, there
is demand now for production.
Some big sales are being made, and
when the sales are consunlmated the
first results will be a huge tank farm
and an extra pipe line. The field is
ready to lay aside its swaddling
clothes and to announce its independ-
ence.
If Holdenville develops a field it
will require six months to put it

where it will be menace to prices,
oil values are going up now, Gushing
oil is selling at soc, although the
posted price is only csc. The sale of
Healdton oil to the Producers Re-
fining company at SOC on two-year
contract is now generally accepted
as mistake. Magnolia Petroleum
company will not feel like paying
a higher price while its competitors
are buying for two years at 3Oc. The
steel tank is not menace to the pro-
ducer, it is more nearly a menace to
the purchaser, because purchasers al
ways purchase storage when they pur-
chase oil and pipe lines are aroused
to a greater activity when oil begins
to go into storage. The building of
the third line into the Aeld, which
is in immediate prospect, will solve
the price problem, and Healdton
crude will soon be selling at its fair
value as compared to other oils.

Oil Up Ten Cents.

Oil in the northern portion of the
state took another jump yesterday.
The price went ten cents higher.
The prevailing price is now 75c. The
producers in that field are jubilant
The price of thirty cents still re-
mains at Healdton. Producers are
getting nervous over the situation
and every effort will be made to pry
the price up a little higher. None
are wise enough in this field to pre-
dict when the price will get better.

Senator O'Gorman came back from
Washington yesterday to attend to pri-

organization will h. named, His remark
could be interIr eted to express the fear
that unless that happens the Tammany
