CHAPTER xv1-tcontinued)

Again he beckoned to them; but still
they stood in argument
Presently the ape-man lost patience
with their stupid ignorance. He grasped
the frightened Mr.. Philander by the
shoulder, and before that worthy gentle
man knew whether he was being killed or
merely malmed for life, Tarzan had tied
one end OF his rope securely about Mr..
Philander's neck.

Professor Porter; ut is most unbeseeming

But scarcely were the words out Of his
mouth ere he too. had been seized and
securely bound by the neck with the same
rope Then Tarzan set off toward the
north leading the now thoroughly
frightened professor and his secretary.
In deathly silence they proceed for what
seemed hours to the two tired and hope
less old men; but presently as they top
ped n little rise of ground they were over
joyed to see the cabin lying before them,
not a hundred yards distant
Here Tarzan released them, and, point
Ing toward the little building, vanished
into the jungle beside them.
Most remarkable, most remarkable!
gasped the professor. But you see, Mr..
Philander that l was quite right rs
usual; and but for your stubborn wllful-
ness we should have escaped a series OF
most humiliating, not to say dangerous
accidents. Pray allow yourself to ne

CHAMBER Of
COMMERCE HAS
SEVERAL DEALS
FIRST, OFFICERS WANT EVERY
BUSINESS MAN IN CITY TO BE
A MEMBER PLENTY OF WORK
TO DO.

With an increased membership and
of Commerce, the officers and direc-
tors have several things planned that
they hope to put over another year.
Among the things mentioned is a
basket and box factory. The neces-
sity for such plant is Obvious. The
peach orchards are being enlarged in
this section, and there will be de-
mand for all the baskets and crates
a modest plant could furnish. Such
plant will have no trouble in get
ting raw material, as plenty is avail
able, and could be operated the year
round.
Another industry that has bobbed
up in Chamber of Commerce meetings
! is a cotton mill. This question was
brought up by NJ. l.. Alexander
few years ago, who had made an eX-
haustive study of the proposition, and
at one time it looked as if his dream
might be realized, but nothing was
done in the matter and it was al
lowed to die for want of interest.
Several cities in the cotton states are
erecting mills, and there is no good
reason why raw cotton should be
shipped from the south to the New
England states, and made into cloth,
when it could be done closer to the
source OF supply.
Every little while the Chamber of
Commerce has inquiries about a re-
finery proposition. This will be taken
up the coming year, and if everything
looks good, an opportunity will be
given capital to invest.
The practice of paying big bonuses
for factories locating in this city,
has been tabooed with the Cham
ber of Commerce for some time.
This organization is ready to donate
sites, and in some instances help
erect the building, as well as exempt
ing the enterprise from taxation for
a certain period, but they figure that
if it is a good thing for the town to
have factories located here, it is like
wise a good thing for the owners of
the factories, and consequently the
organization does not encourage Civ
ing big bonuses.
Besides the above, there are several
other propositions that the officers
and directors want to tax over with
the members in the near future, and !
they want every business man in the
city to become members of the Cham
Der of Commerce at once and help do

THACkERVILlE NOTES
ON GAS AND COTTON

Thackerville. Okla, Sept. 3.-The
I Terral Oil and Gas company, which
has. been drilling a wildcat well four
miles south of Thackerville, had a
nice showing of gas last Monday but
had bad luck. They twisted off and
had a fishing job. But they have the
hole cleaned out now and are waiting
for a new string of casing. They will
probably be closed down for several
days. They have had so much hard
luck that they will not take any more
chances on old casing.
George A. Beck, who bought the
Thackerville gin, has been very busy
the past two weeks repairing and
getting things in shape to gin the
cotton. He has put in an extra stand
and cleaner and a large boiler, and

The Greatest Of All Crops.

Never in the history of cur country
was there such a crop as that which
has just been harvested, or is now

tiful yields, with bursting plenty.
How eloquent these items are, as
taken from the latest government es-

100000 over last years banner crop;
oats, 1,4OO.OOOOOO bushels, an increase
of 26O,OOO,OO bushels.
We will have four million tons of

is the same, with perhaps the single

WILL RESORT TO LAW
No Immediate Voluntary Advance Ex-
pected on Healdton Crude.

pCShCe VII TlSa'NhSl' ~ ubS'
That there is no immediate pros
pect of any voluntary advance being
made on the price of Healdton crude
by the Magnolia Pipe Line company,
is the report brought back by the
committee which went to Dallas to
confer with the company. The COM
mittee is composed OF Lee Cruce, S.
A. Apple and l.. II. Love. They were
appointed to file a complaint against
the pipe line, asking the commission
to fix q minimum price en- Healdton
crude, but the committee wanted to
trip to Dallas. The producers met
this morning to hear the report, and
the opinion expressed the"e was that
the complaint should be filed. Mr..
Cruce is now gathering information
concerning the properties of the oil,
as shown in refinery tests, in order
to have something substantial to base
the complaint upon, and when that in
formation is ready, the complaint will
be filed.
The pipe line people. according to
the report made by the committee,
have their figures in readiness to
show that they will lose appro:;i-
mately sc on every barrel OF Healdton
crude if they pay as much as 40c for
it, and Mr.. Cruce and his committee
will gather information to show the
value of the oil and to show that the
company can well afford to pay twice
the sum that is being paid.
If the producers have a law that
will stand the test, they want to know |
it, and want to use it, and if they /
have not such law, the next thing |
to be done will be to turn the field .
loose and let every fellow handle his /
own lease the best he can.
The pipe line people tried to sat
is'y the producers by promising to
equip the line to handle greater
amount of crude, but the producers
feel that they are selling more now
than they should sell at the price
that is being paid.
W. B. Johnson expressed the opin-
ion this morning that if producers
were allowed to keep their oil in the
