-Four companies have squbbed wells

These men are practical oil men.

they would shoot wells unless II were
absolutely necessary for the preserva-

that these small shots materially In
creased the flow OF oil; but It is GER
tain knowledge 10 the managers Of
these leases that the wells had TO be
shot when they were or the property

there is nothing TO the game except

When a well gets so jammed at the

GOVERNMENT ME- ENFLAIN
INDIAN LEASES TO OIL MEN.
Representatives of Bureau of Mines
Discuss Conservation at Meeting
at Oklahoma City.
sneclal TO Tho world


OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 11.-Goy-
ernment regulations relative to oil and
gas leases on Indian land, were eX-
planned to oil and gas producers by
government representatives at meet
ing held here. Especially was the feat
ure relative to conservation discussed.
Oil and gas men OF the east side Of
the state met in the afternoon to dis
cuss the features OF proposed legis-
lation that viii be asked Of the present
legislature. No final action was taken
4 bill seeking the relief the oil and
gas men desire will be introduced in
the legislature, probably by the oil and
gas committees OF both houses.
Representative of the government
who were here were w. A. williams,
c. d. Dutton and j. \. Pollard OF the
school OF mines. That department be
came interested recently on the an
nouncement OF a prominent gas man
OF the east side Of the state that mil
lions OF feet Of gas was being wasted
daily. and offered to assist In any way
possible In order to conserve the gas
supply. Improper drilling and casing
Of gas wells was explained as one Of
the causes Of the waste OF much Of the
gas
The corporation commission is will
ing to assist the oil and gas men in
the conservation Of the states re-
sources. but the commission has not
the authority necessary under the
present law. II is possible that what
ever legislation is accomplished will be
In the Hight of comforting power on the
commission to enforce regulations that
are finally placed around the. oil and
gas industry.

board of equalization informally that
it would appeal from tho $40 100000

Notice OF the appeal followed the

Thursday refusing a writ prCHibiung
the board from certifying the added
assess meut down 20 the county Off
cials for collection of taxes. The court
sustained the power Of the board 10
make the added assessment on gen

the theory Of the Prairie that on a
straight appeal from the board now,
II can have the matter referred TO
a referee aad testimony taken TO cs-
tablish its contention that the increase
was Illegal and not justified.
The action I'm the West suit has
been awaited for weeks. Judge Hud-

SOME TECHNICAL POINTS OF
LAW IN GULF AND TEXAS CASES
Fred Parkinson Takes Stand That
Board Finally Had Adjourned;

OKLAHOMA CITY Jan. H.
Whether or not the action OF the
state board of equalization In adding
to the tax valuations Of Tho Texas
Company and the Gulf Pipe Line at a
meeting held Friday afternoon will
be contested. is not known. There are
seven members of the board, requiring
four to adopt a motion Those at
Tending were Governor CruCe, Robert
Dunlop. Attorney General West Fred
Parkinson. state examiner, and Sec
rotary OF State II. G.. oliver.
In taking vote on the proposition
TO Increase the taxes OF the companies.
Fred Parkinson declined to participate
In the voting, saying that he believed
tho board was adjourned finally at
tho time the state levy was made,
and that IL did not have authority Or
power now TO act further II re-
Qulred the vote OF Secretary Of state
oliver to make the four
There was some question relative 20
the official acts OF Secretary oliver
on the grounds that his age did not
conform 20 the constitution as regards
requirements for that office. though
Attorney General West was OF the i'm
preston that the usual official acts
OF the office could hardly be ques
toned However, should the oil com
panles involved attack the action OF
the board on the ground that only
three votes should be legal. consider
ing that divers vote would not stand,
there Is probably fine point that
would be considered
In It's action the board added 80
per cent TO the valuations originally
assessed by the board to the Texas and
Gulf Pipe Line companies on all prop
erty except oil. This Will add approx
imately 100000 to The Texas Com
pany and about 100000 to the Cult
company The Texas Company was
originally assessed at S5.35S,66 and
the Gulf company S4,Sj3,534

YALE, Okla, Jan. 1l.-(Special) 49,
Work will be- commenced shortly on an
electric plant and waterworks exten-
sions at Yale The plans for the water
extensions and improvement Will be
quite comprehensive and will not only
include extensions of mains but also
the construction OF large storage
reservoir and large pumps to take care
Of the city's increased consumption.
The storage reservoir is to be built on
Salt creek and will have capacity
sufficient to supply Yale for several
months The water will be brought
to town through two-mile pipe line.
These improvements were necessitated
by the Increased growth OF the city
and the demand for more water by
the Industries locating here.
Doctor p S. Mitchell of Muskogee
has secured a two-story stone building
here and will install a first class hos
pital This has been one of the needs
here as there have been many cases
Of accident and sickness in the oil
fields which have gone TO other cities
as there were no facilities for taking
care of them here.
The year 1914 was record year for
the railroads in Y ale. Durlns the year
both the passenger and freight bust
ness of the railroads entering here
have so increased that the facilities
have become entirely inadequate. Tho
increase is clearly shown by the
December monthly report of the NJ. X.
& T. which indicates an Increase In
freight receipts of more than 500 per
cent over the same month year ago.
This railroad is building several miles
OF switches and unloading tracks to
take care OF this increase which has
been causing a badly congested freight
yard.
