Rome, Jan. 26.-The committee OF

Indispensable to the satisfaction OF her
aspirations and the protection of her

CoIine Declined offer.

At a meeting of the stockholders cf
the Coline Oil company held yester-
day an offer of one million dollars
for the company's holdings was de-
clined. 1t is stated that the offer
came from the Santa Fe Railroad
company and was made for the pur-
pose of securing production for the
continued operation of the refinery
now under construction in Gaines
vile. The Magnolia people control
a nice portion of the fell and if the
Roxana deal natures that company
will control another big portion of
the production and the Santa Fe,
which is interested in the purchase
of residuum for its boilers is anxious
that the Gainesville line have plenty
of production behind it 70 make it a
success. The Coline company was
originally organized by twelve men
whose initial investm mt was $175
each. Several handsome dividends
have been declared and each of these
$40 payments has grown into a
value something like 800 coo.

Santa Fe Attorney Here.

James T. Cottingham, attorney for
the Santa Fe Railway Company, re-
turned to his home in Oklahoma City
last night after a VISIT mere. He and
Mr. Thwing went to the city lake and
fished a few hours. Mr.. Thwing did
the laborious work of rowing the boat,
and Mr.. Cottingham used all kinds of
artificial bait and resorted to min
nows, frogs and worms, but never did
land a fish. He decided that fishing
was not good and returned to town
Mr.. Cottingham stated that he was
down to enjoy day or two on the Ard
morel axes. but it was stated that he
had an offer to make to one of the
companies for its production in the oil
field.

WILL STANDARD TEST LAW?
One Producer Thinks the Pipe Line
People Do Not Want II Tested


Some interest is being taken in the
fight which Lee Cruce will make to
nave the Corporation commission set a
minimum price on Healdton Crude. A
well informed producer said today
that in his opinion the commission
would respond to the complaint by
fixing a price higher thal the price
which prevails now. All who are ac-
quainted with petroleum values state
that Healdton crude is worth much
more than it is selling for and the
commission is expected TO set a price
above 80 cents barrel While the
Magnolia people will in all proba-
bility resist the complaint in an effort
ting Il minimu price but after the
price is set this producer does not
believe that the Magnolia will appeal
the case to the supreme court. That
opinion is based upon the action tax
en- by the Prairie people when a
price was fixed on Gushing crude
The pipe line people do not care to
have the law tested While they
hold the opinion that the commission
is not clothed with such authority,
yet the court might decide otherwise,
and If that were done every oil pro-
ducing state in the union would then
enact the Oklahoma oil conservation
law and their executives would eX-
ercise the same authority and in the
end it would cost the Standard many
thousands of dollars. So if the law
is tested the producers themselves
will have to arrange friendly suit
to make the test 1t is believed that
the Magnolia people will first offer
a compromise and if that is not ac-
cepted it will shut its line down en-
tirely Common carrier shipments
would of course be made but they
would be prorated and the producers
would not be hurt.
What effect the fixing Of mini
mum price would have on the Gaines
willie contracts is not known. While
that contract was made subsequent
to the act of the Legislature of Feb

Looks Like New Sand.

Humble-Gypsy-Staiti No. on the
Koskie lease, which has recently
been finished, seems to be in new
sand. The sand was reached at 1,141
feet, five feet of very fine pay was
found and at l ,156 the drill went into
a water sand. The water was sue
cessiully plugged off and the well
makes a nice producer. Its initial
production was almost 500 barrels.

son lease in section 5-4-3 got the sand
1,O17 feet. This sand seems to have

Installing New Pump.

Magnolia Pipe Line Co. is building
foundation for a new pump that has
arrived and which will be installed at
the Healdton station. The pump is
larger than either one of the other two
pumps which have already been in
stalled and will materially increase
the capacity of the 6-inch line to Ad-
dington. 1t is also stated that the
pump station at Mud Creek will be
fired up and will be used regularly.
The increase in the capacity of the
line by the installation of additional
pumps will be approximately 5000
barrels day.

A Pleasant Surprise.

Hernstadt No. 50 in section Obs has
developed into "A good well and is a
surprise to the contractors, Conway
& Kiser as well as to Mr.. Hernstadt
The tools were lost in the hole after
the pay had been reached and two
weeks fishing failed to bring them
to the surface. After the job had
been abandoned and the contractors
had planned to skid the rig and drill
new well the hole was swabbed and
made 100 barrels the first hour. 1t is
believed now that the we'll will be
saved and that it will be good pro-
