RINGLING, okla, Feb. II. The
discovery Of oil in the well being
drilled in section 7-4-2 by the Tango
oil company OF Chandler, Okla,
opens up brilliant prospects for
new field a short distance northeast
of here. This well is located between
the Healdton and Santa Fe fields
and is about four miles from any other
production. The Tango company
some weeks ago finished well to a
depth of 1000 feet and for a time
it seemed that the hole would be
abandoned, but more money was
raised and the drill sent deeper Al
n depth Of 1850 feet an oil sand was
found and the drillers are OF the opin-
ion that a good well will he brought
in. This was evidenced by the fact
that strenuous efforts were being
made last night to buy up leases sur
rounding the we'll. If this drilling
does develop new field, which seems
likely at this time, it will give this
section Of the state three oil fields.
which is considered a most excellent
record for the time operations have
been carried on.

RINGLlNG, okla. Feb. 1.-THE
Hamon- Colcord gas well In section IL
in the Healdton field has been drilled
10 feet into the sand and is producing
100000 cubic feet per day. This is
the largest gas well in the state and Is
one Of the largest to be discovered in
the Healdton field.
Mr. HamOn, promoter Of the Ring
ling townste, stated today that the
finding OF this supply of gas means the
building of line to Ringing, which
Is four miles distant
OH men state, without reservation,
that this well means a new pool to
the south of the Healdton field, which
may prove even a greater producing
area than the Healdton field

CHAPTER v.
The Hunted Mar.


That day was hot and MINDLESS with
an unclouded sky-a day of brass and
burning.
Long before any sound audible to
human ears disturbed the MONDAY
bush. bobcat summing on log in a
glade to which no trail led, pricked
ears, rose. glanced over shoulder with
a enerl a1d-of a sudden was no more
taer1.
Perhaps two minutes later success
sion Of remote crashings began to be
heard. cumulative volume of sounds
made by some heavy body forcing by
main strength through the underbrush,
and ceased only when a man broke
into the clearing, pulled up. stood for
an instant swaying, then reeled to a
seat on the log, pillowing his head on
arms folded across his knees and shud-
adering uncontrollably in all his limbs.
He was a young man who had been
and would again he very personable.
Just now he wore the look OF one
bounded by furies. His face was Grim
son with congested blood and streaked
with sweat and CRIME; blush veins
dhrobbed in high relief upon his tenn
pies; his lips we're cracked and swol-
len, his eyes haggard, his hands torn
and bleeding. His shirt and trousers
and Cruisers" were wrecks, the latter
'scorched, charred, and broken in a
dozen places. Woods equipment he

That right-bower of the whole big
berry family--the mouptain-reared
huckleberry--may soon become obso-
lete. Reason? Lack of forest fires.
Can't have a good crop OF buckle
berries in dense woods. A fire every
two or three years that bares the
mountains OF underbrush and kills
trees is the foundation of a banner
harvest Of blueberries, as the untaught
cityite sometimes calls them.
Governor Haines Of Maine told me
that his state originated the system OF
protection against forest fires, which
is now used in many states and by
the United States in guarding the ma
tional preserves. Watchers on the
mountain tops are on the lookout for
fires and signal for help when neces-
sary.
But saving the forests has surely
played hob with huckleberries. And
here IN Pennsylvania the rattlesnake
crop is growing bigger as the number
Of destructive mountain fires de-
creases.
So 1t appears that everything else as
well az man has its price.--From CT
rard's Topics Of the Town IN the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger.

A Republican Senate?

1t has been assumed, possibly too
hastily. by the Democrats, that they
will retain control OF the senate I'M
til 1919. Republican leaders at WASH
ington who have been considering the
prospect interpose decided objection
and claim a good fighting chance OF
regaining control in 1916. AS 1t now
stands the Democrats have Sc sena-
tors, the Republicans &c. and the Pro-
gressives one, Thirty-two senators
will be elected in 1916. and II of
those whose terms then expire are
Democrats. II are Republicans and
one Progressive A majority of the
senate is 40, so that the Republicans
In 1916 will need to hold what they
have and gain ten seats.
Hopes are expressed that these ten
may be had by winning enough from
the list of outgoing Democrats in de-
batable states: West Virginia, Ne
braska. Maine. Indiana, New Jersey.
Montana, New York, Nevada, Ohio.
Arizona, Maryland and perhaps Mis-
souri,. The Progressive from Wash
ington may also be a factor, and Ten
nessee's factional fight which a few
years back elected Republican Gov
ernor is at least a possibility. From
which It appears that the Republican
leaders are not without reason in re-
pudlating the Democratic claim for the
