trict court room with ten. members
Of the County .Bar present. District
Attorney W. c. Davis was elected
chairman Of the meeting.
The problem Of eiecting . member
Of the bar who would b qualinsd 10
act ~ Judge was Thoroughly discuss.
cd. The anti.pass lev. forbidding Of
Zee holders from riding on passes
was one obstacle In the nay Of Z
number OF members who represent
railroads. and the fact that every
member present had been retained
on some case that Is yet TO come TO
trial this term was another obstacle.
District Attorney Davis expressed
. desire to elect Judge for this week
to try what cases were on the docket.
and II he were disqualified to act as
special Judge next week. another
could be elected. Mr.. Davis cited the
fact that the special venires summon.

was costing the county large amount
Of money. and that all other costs
accrued Just the same. even though
the cases were continued. The ether
attorneys present would not agree TO
this action. and the proposition was
not taken up. Mr.. Davis had a ruling
from the Attorney General that

Ninety per cent of the families in the

tive estimate, - per cent of the motor

IMPROVEMENTS ON
COSTLY
Work on Line Between Drumright
and OiltOn is Progressing
Rapidly.
Special to The World.

CDf'ltl 10 ne NOtlua
DRUMRIGHT, Aug. 21.-Witb more
cost per mile than any part of the
entire oil field system the Santa Zee
line from Oilton to the junction Of the
Gushing Drumright line is being
built. The work is progressing rap
idly, however, the grade and the steel
being extended together have already
passed the halfway point and ac-
cOrding to railroad authorities will be
finished by October /.
THE oil field towns will have bet
ter local accommodation by rail than
any main line town of like size when
the system Is complete" was a remark
made by a prominent railroad Off
cial here last week. The length Of
the lines will not enable the trainmen
to make their daily mileage unless
several trips are made over the road
and until experience has proven that
the oil field people will not p]atronize
the road enough to support such sery-
i've, a very accommodating schedule
will be maintained.
BY the time the last part OF the
line is completed mail service will be
established on the road in all prob
ability, and so far as modern COuNcu-
ienccs are concerned there will be no
difference in life in Drumright and in
the best cities in the state. with the
exception of proposed interurban lines
none Of the towns will likely have
street cars in a year or two. but Cush-
ing can already boast Of a %'jitncy'
service and the same will be coming
to life in Drumright and clifton as
soon as the streets are graded and a
five-cent fare is a paying business.

HOT TUBE ALWAYS
SOURCE OF DANGER
II Was That That Caused the Death Of
George ID. Dunlap n Few
Days Ago.
s,ecial TO The World

N''HN w. ~ w."
CLIFTON, Aug. z1.-The hot tube"
according to the men 70 work in the
oil field, Is always a sVurce of danger
and il should be eliminated entirely,
they say. 1t was a hot tube that
caused the death of George II. Dunlap,
a week ago on the Mollie Jones allOt-
ment south of clifton, and it has
caused many workmen to have narrow
escapes and resulted in many rigs
burning and other property being des-
troyed, according to the wOrkmen.
The hot tube" is used In practically
all the gas engine houses in the drill
ing Of oil wells. II ignites the gas as
it comes into the engine. It is, there
fore, a hot tube in reality and the
danger lies in an oil well being brought
in at a time when the wind sprays the
oil and gas toward the engine house.
Immediately, of course, the hot tube
ignitos the cashinghead gas fresh from
the new well, and everything is on
fire. It was this kind of an accident,
ii is said. that caused the death Of
Dunlap recently and has burned up
many rigs in the field.
Instead Of the hot tube, the Oil
workmen say, an electric igniter
should be used. 1t is inclosed in q
that prevents it from igniting
the gas from a well and therefore
eliminates the resulting danger.

of Gushing. This field has partly
been tested with a good showing, ana
the quality of oil is superior to that
found in the big pool.
New locations are now being made
daily, with the result Of nine wells
now being drilled. The latest contract
awarded Is the well for the Fortuna
OH 81 Gas CO., in section 6-18-5, let to
NJ. NJ. Wolfe of Cushing, who is also
drilling the well for the Home Gas
company. which is now down ga feet.
The Peters wen, in session 24-18-5,
is now down TO 1,4S4 feet.
With the price Of oil soaring CON
tinually, it will have a tendency to
make drilling profitable in this field,
which heretofore has been neglected
on account of the depth at which oil
has been found.

CLIFTON, Aug. 21.-Eyery man IS
supposed to lend a hand when a fire
starts in the oil field and the fellow
who does not is not rated extra high
thereafter. Every precaution possible
must be taken TO prevent % spread of
the flames, for in am. oil field the
losses mount up a,armingly fast, Now
each b5,UOO-barrel tank that burns
means a cash loss of sac 500. and the
losses on all other oil field property
are proportionally as great.
That a fire period is one Of the
busiest TO be witnessed in the field was
evidenced in this vicinity during the
past week when lightning started a
blaze That swept the rlNCr-bCd prop
critics for some distance and took
pNay one of the Carter COmpany's S.
00O-barrcl tanks on ITS farm adjoining
Oilton. The tank blaze started about
midnight during a severe electric
storm and Immediately that entire
section of the field was alive with
busy worltmcn assembling from all
the adjoining leases and all getting
into the fire fighting and fire pre-
caution game.
Men were armed with shoyels and
axes, others mounted the anuon and
stlll others We're assigned to keeping
the steam high in the. engines on the
lease. Frequently the steam is used
to fight fire when a spread is threat
ening II on the tank farms also the
steam is used to keep the gas damp in
the nearby tanks, thus greatly lessen
ing the danger of it igniting. This is
done by pumping the steam into the
tops of the big steel tanks. A 20-inch
pipe carries the steam upward into
the tanks.
Then, also, there must be a line of
trenches dug as a.. rule. The fire
guard, the big o~mbankment which sur
rounds each tank, may break and if It
should, then when the tank boils over
the streams Of blazing oil. would be
carried to adjoining property The ad-
diitonal trcncheA catch the oil if it
escapes from the original basin. The
men labor hard with spades and shov-
els and at times teams and plows are

IS not unlike that on the battle line.

RIG CONTRACTORS
OBJECT TO RATES
Too High a Rates Ali Over the state
r. in Regard to Employers
Liability.
Special to The World.

CLIFTON, Aug. 21.-Only the rig
contractors, so far as can be learned,
are Directing to the terms of the
states new compensation act, which
goes into effect on September /, and
which covers practically every en-
plOyes in the entire oil field. The rig
contractors allege they are given too
high a rate and they will ask an in
v~estigation. Some of the rig Contrac-
tors are taking out insurance with
the companies writing in this field,
but a majority are holding back, it
said, until they can secur an inCes-
GgatiOn, if possible.
The rig men say hat the men who
made the rates do not understand
that only a portion Of their employees
work in the air on the rig building,
the rest of the crew being confined
to ground work. Three in the air
and fOur on the ground is about the
way it run yet the rig men declare
they are held to the same rate on all
the men. II is understood they are
rated the same as the employees of
Il drilling contractor.
All companies not complying with
the act must each pay a dollar a
day fine to the state Industrial COM
mission, which has jurisdiction In
the enforcement of the law. And all
companies are expected to comply
within u reasonable time or other
steps will be taken. One contractor
has declared that 1t would be cheaper
for him to pay the dollar a day fine,
but in the long run he would have
to comply with the law just the
same.
c. b. Shaffer is the first among
the oil producers, so far as known,
who has decided to carry his own
risk. II is said that others are con-
templating it, In doing this, a surety
bond must be filed with the state
commission, the amount being left
for the commission to determine.
The biggest insurance business in the
4tate, under this wOrkman's compen-
sation act, will be written in this
district because Of the vast number
Of men employed in the oil field. SO
far as known, all departments OF n
Ill field work have been accepted I'M
der this act by the insurance com
panies. Recently 1t was announced
that the insurance companies would
rot write the coal operators
of the great danger to employees.
For the death of an employe, due
10 accident, the insurance companies
pay a flat $1,000 insurance to his
family.
