Their wells are producing oil and vas,
quantities of gas.
! IF / were merely to say that you have
Endorsed the Oklahoma OIL Company ana
its officials whom you know. Mr.. John.
l remarked some people might not be-
lieve me. May I ask if you would be
willing to say practically the same thing
in letter to The Washington Herald -
II have no objection to that at ALL -
replied Mr.. John. good-naturedly. "and
if You will come back later in the day
I'll give YOU a letter, which you can use
il you like"
Similar verbal and written indorse-
ments were willingly given The Herald
representative by Mr.. NJ G. Young.
cashier of the Exchange National Bank,
and also by Mr.. George w. Sterling.
president of the Central State Bank, and
others
Yes. I am personally acquainted with
Mr.. Z. Madison Hall. president of the
! Oklahoma Oil Company and Mr.. NJ NJ
Jackson. the cOmpany's field manager"
said President Sterling. of the Central
State Bank, and, in my opinion, the
management of the company is in COM
petant hands. We regard these men in
Muskogee as entirely trustworthy. and I
/ have no doubt Mr.. Sterling added that

company stand equally high in the esti-
nation of your community At least 1
am told that is the case
What do you think of the Oklahoma
Oil Company's properties?''
Banker Investigates COMPANY.
1T happens that We made some inves-
4 LEGATIONS of the Boynton oil field recent
! ly.' replied Mr.. Sterling, and also in
Nestigated some of the Oklahoma Oil
| Company's other properties We found
that the Oklahoma OIL Company is large
| ly interested in the Boynton oil pool. and
We also found that it is interested in the
| Kansas oil fields near Chanute in that
state. AS well as in several thousand
| acres of what is commonly referred to
as wildcat oil and gas leases in Okla
! homa. The term wildcat is not deroga-
tory; it merely signifies type of prop
ertv which has not been developed and
whose value cannot be accurately detet-
| mined until wells are driven.
We understand that the Kansas prop
critics. in which the Oklahoma Oil Com
panE is interested, are proving good. with
seven wells already producing oil which
speaks prOmisingly of the future of their
holdings in Kansas. But We have been
particularly impressed with the posi-
! bilities of the company's Boynton field
MS Is new nel0, nut
every one believes that it will eventually
toe one of the most productive and profit
able oil fields in the State. Large pro-
duclng wells have been drilled in the
vicinity recently. in several of which the
Oklahoma Oil Company is interested The
company holds valuable leases in sew
eral sections of the BoyntOn field. which
appear to be rich in both oil and gas.
Yes the company has a promising fu-
ture.''
faN"rabi! Impressed with Situation.
Equally as willing to speak well of
the Oklahoma Oil Company's properties
and of the character of it's officials.
Mr. NJ. O. Young. cashier of the Ex-
change National Bank. which has
capital stock of 100000. said to The
Herald correspondent. Mr.. NJ NJ Jack
son Is the field manager of the COM
nanE and Mr. James l.. Powell is its
local attorney. They have lived IN
Musk"Cee for several years and stand
hiSh as men of business ability. We
are sure they would not actively en-
gage in the development of any prop
rrty unless they believed in it's value
Their Judgment is considered good and
any property they may handle is
worthy of serious consideration"
How about the Boynton oil field?"
i am very favorably impressed with
II. There have been a number of large
wells drilled there this summer and
they are producing both gas and oil
Several of these gas and oil wells ar,
on the property of the Oklahoma Oil
Company and consequently the COM
pany has already demonstrated that
it has valuable oil properties Their
holdings cover n large acreage in
township IA. Range L. near the town
OF Boynton. Take a trip up there to-
morrow and no doubt you will be con-
WINGED that there is more in the propo-
siti"n than YOU expected"
That is exactly what | intend 20
do" said The Herald representative.
When you come back call on me
and let me know what you think of
the proposition" said Mr.. Young, and
If ! can be OF further assistance to
you. don't hesitate to say So"
Which reminds me to say that every
man / met indicated a most accomo-
dating disposition and seemed pleased
to know that Eastern people were to

Great Nigh, Scene.
If Muskogee pleases the eye by day,
"hiCh IL ei'aiiiS uoes, LOT II Is con-

towns in the great Southwest. 1t dazzles

lighted. but the whole surrounding coun-

of thousands Of cubic feet OF gas stimuli

in the vicinity south and west OF the
city.
An obliging attache of the Sewers took
me up on the roof of the hotel about 10
O'Clock in the evening to view a scene
that fairly bewildered. As far as the eye
could see the gas lights hlazed in tower
