so miles north Of Houston. The first
well drilled there Is at depth of
l,i0O feet, and the hole at the bot.
tom is cased with 4-inch casing. A
2 IL inch baiier was used and some.
thing like 100 barrels of oil had been
bsiied from the hole when some I'M.
pedinlcnt occurred and the bailer
could not reach further than 100 feet
from the bottom. The owners reck-
Oned it as a 200 barrel producer, but
II is difficult to see how such
rating could be given the well. as 1t
could not be tested in the shape il is
in. No. . well has been drilled to
something like the same depth and
was given rating as 10-barrel

80 minutes while Mr.. Gait was there,

In Stephens County.

Cy Wells of Duncan Is an Ardmore
oil field visitor Mr.. Wells has re-
Gently spent month in the Texas
fields. and is here for the first time
in a number of months. He states
that the outlook in Stephens county
is good The formations there are
sufficiently promising to attract some
of the largest oil companies and de-
velopment work is kept going. Gas
has been found in that county, at
Loco, Duncan and few miles south
west of Duncan at Hope. A deep
we'll is now drilling some distance
east of Duncan and the Lone Star
Gas company of Texas is assisting
in making it a good test. A more
active development at Loco is ex-
pected within a short time as the
Lone Star Gas company has plans
to build a pipe line into that field
to connect with its line from Petrolia
which supplies Dallas. Fort Worth,
and other cities with natural gas.

The Supply Companies.

A move has been made which prom
ises to revOl1;ionize the manner in
which the oil well supply companies
will supply the Healdton producers.
II was learned yesterday that the Re
public Supply company is building a
store at Writ. The company evident
!y plans to handle Its heavy material,
such as casing, pumps, etc, at VIII
son and to handle all of the lighter
supplies in the new store in the oil
feld town If this Is the case il will
in all probability mean that each Of
the supply companies will leave the
town with their smaller
goods and build stores In the field.
This will make the oil well supply
business more expensive, for the
reason that each company will have
10 maintain two different stores. one
on the railroad and one in the field.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov A
conference between II. Is. Howard.
state auditor and Frank M. Gault.
president of the state board of agri-
culture, has resulted In what seems
likely to terminate the war that has
been under way between these two ex-
ecutive departments. The board of ag-
riculture, II Is understood, will adopt
the same system that Is in effect by
the board of affairs In the making of
purchases and follow similar routine
in the accounting part of the business.
This Is the plan that has been insist
ed upon by Mr. Howard and which
he asserts results In economies for
the state. 1t Is in conformity in the
main with the provisions of the ac-
counting law enacted by the last legis-
lature.
In the matter OF expense items for
cattle inspectors, IL Is understood that
the board of agriculture has conformed
to the law as interpreted by the state
auditor and as result of this there
is expected to be less dissention In that
quarter.

BLIND HYMN WRITER DEAD.

Fanny Crosby, died at her home in
Conn, last Friday in her ninety fifth
year.
Eight thousand hymns of Christian
worship sung in Protestant churches
throughout the world. are the work of
Fanny Crosby. No one since the days
of Charles Wesley or Isaac Watts has
made anywhere near as large con-
tribution to the gospel song book as
did the blind writer whose death oc-
Cured to-day.
Fanny Crosby's name was signed SO
regularly as author of one HYMN after
another that the hymn book makers Of
a quarter of a century ago were forced
to give her some 200 different pen
names TO make it appear that someone
besides the famous writer had contribut
ed. Thousands perhaps hundreds of
thousands who sang her songs. which
were translated into every language,
did not know that il was a blind
woman inspiration which they emv
ployed to express Christian faith and
hope in song.
Saved BY Grace. BLESSED Assur-
ance, 4" Rescue the Perishing" and
safe in the Arms of Jesus" are typ
ical of Fanny Crosby's most popular
religious verses.
