TEST WELL IS
DRILLING
ALL THE FIELD is WATCHING
THIS EXPERIMENT IN NEAR-To-
.ARDMoRE OIL DEVELOPMENT.
BEGAN YESTERDAY.

Conway & Kiser, contractors, began
yesterday drilling a test well in sec
ton 19-4-1, on the McCarty & German
farm, six miles west of Ardmore, and
with the first days work reached a
depth of $50 feet.
This test will be watched with a
great deal of interest by all the oil
men of this section, on account of
its distance from the proven field, and
also because of the fact that there is
standing bonus offer of $4,000 on
the part of Ardmore. for the first pro-
ducing well that is brought in within
radius of ten miles from the city.
With a producing well only six miles
from town, Ardmore will take a more
prominent place than ever before on
the oil map of the state. and it will
add greatly to the already prosperous
condition of the city.

ASSISTANCE
HAVE PETITloNED CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE TO GIVE a LITTLE
AID TOWARD BUILDING ROAD
FROM THAT PLACE.

Some time ago the people living
in the HoXbar neighborhood petition
ed the Chamber of Commerce to rem
der them little assistance toward
building the road from there to this
city. The petition was needed to the
extent that few donated some
money for that purpose, but there
the matter seemed to haze come to
a sudden stop.
Now the people who have been
working the road have been obliged
to suspend operations because Ard
more did not come through with the
small amount asked. They say they
are in need of dynamite, but have no
funds They also need other supplies
to the amount Of perhaps two hundred
dollars, and unless the amount is
Forthcoming, the road will not be COM
pleted
This matter will be brought to the
attention of the Chamber of Com
merce at the meeting this afternoon
and some action taken.

SOUTHEAST
ERIN EDITORS
To ORGANIZE
MOVEMENT HAS BEEN STARTED
IN THIS CITY THAT WILL BE OF
GREAT VALUE TO THIS SEC
TON OF THE STATE.

Col Sidney Suggs of the Ardmoreite,
and Col. h. l.. Gregory of the States
man, of this city, have inaugurated
movement that will be of immense
value to the southeastern portion of
the state, if they succeed in putting
it over, and there is little reason to
doubt but what they will, as their
plans are already well grounded, and
it remains but to wait for favorable
time to put them into execution.
They have planned to organize the
southeastern Oklahoma Press Asso-
citation, with all editors and owners of
newspapers in the following counties
as members of the association: Grady,
Jefferson, McClain, Garvin, Murray,
Carter, Love, Pontotoc Johnston Mar
shall, Pittsburg, Coal, Atoka, Bryan,
Latimer, Pushmataha, Choctaw, Le-
Flore, and McCurtain
A list is being compiled and cir
cular letter will be addressed to the
editors in this district setting forth
the object of this organization and an
invitation extended to meet in this
city some time in the near future
and perfect a permanent organiza-
ton.
Already much encouragement has
been received by the promoters from
newspaper men in this section and
when they meet to organize, the COM
mercial bodies of the city will leave
nothing undone for the entertainment
of the visiting scribes The prime
object of this organization is to pro-
mote the interest of the southeastern
portion of the state, to exercise their
influence to secure proper and ade-
quate legislation and advocate the es-
tablishment of enterprises to develop
the latent resources of what Is admit
tedly the richest section of the state.
The meeting will probably be called
some time in September, a constitution
and bylaws adopted and officers
chosen. The date will be announced
within a few days.

Fortress Was important One.

London, Aug. 7.-Brest-Litovsk,
the main Russian fortress and con.
centration center for the Bug river
line of defenses, was occupied by the
Austro-Germans Thursday. While
the Russians offered stout resistance
to the invaders during their approach
to the fortress, it is apparent that
they did not attempt to defend Brest.
Litovsk itself, but evacuated it as
they did Ossowetz, in conformity with
their intention indicated in the dis
patches from Petrograd yesterday to
take up new positions farther east
The Germans are now IN possession
of the whole line of railway from
Chelm to Bialystok. The Russians
having already evacuated the latter
city. the lesser fortresses Of Grodno
and Olita are now the cnly strongly
defended positions remaining in the
hands of the Russians. Poth these
are being approached by the Germans
and probably will be given up when
they have fulfilled their purpose of
facilitating the retreat Of the Russian
armies.
The Russians have not yet entered
