For that reason the gauge of the field
is larger than the actual production
1t is the opinion of a number of well
informed men that the field is actu-
ally making about 10000 barrels a
day.
For the reason that the field has
been held back more or less by the
expectation that orders would be is
sued controlling the production of oil,
producers have been slow to provide
their leases with suitable tank facli.
ties, and they are not in position to
produce all the oil their wells are
capable of producing.
Art l.. Walker conservation officer
of the field, was here today and sta
ted that he rather expected an order
to be made about the middle of this
month under which every producer
will be allowed to run 100 per cent, or
in other words, the order will be made
turning the field absolutely free.
When this order is made, a day will
be fixed, in the future, for it to be-
come operative. This time included
between the time of the order and
the time when it becomes effective,
will be allowed to smaller producers
in which to build suitable tankage
facilities and to equip their leases
for producing the maximum amount
of oil they are capable of producing.
SO many new wells are coming in
that the conservation officer is about
) days behind with his gauging, and
instead of gauging on the 36-hour
basis, as was begun in July, the wells
are gagged now on runs of "a hours.

FETTERS TO FALL OFF
Order Permitting Full Runs Expected
During the Month.


The producers whose wells are
connected with the Magnolia Pipe
Line company's line have a produc-
tion of 57,129 barrels, and under the
order of permitting 80 per cent runs
these producers can produce daily
2S,564 barrels. In spite of this fact
the Magnolia people have not been
able to get more than 1900 barrels
a day This is due to the lack of
tankage facilities on the leases. The
Magnolia is now asking for 10000
barrels a day.
Those producers whose oil is going
into storage have a production of
66,5O1 barrels and under the 80 per
cent order have right to place in
storage 33,25O barrels a dav.
Those producers connected with the
Gainesville line have a production of
21,031 barrels, and under the so per
cent order have a right to produce
1856 barrels. The Gainesville pipe
line is in the market at the present
time for 10000 barrels a day, but
has not been able to run as much as
10000 brarels. These figures added
together show the production of the
field to be 1861 barrels.
The gauge of the field was taken
last July, based upon a 36-hour gauge
and as new wells come in they are
gagged by the conservation officer
and the production Of the field grad
ually grows larger, while all of the
old wells are presumed to hold their
production and no accounting is made
of the falling off of any of the wells

BIG SWEDE USED HEAD

Gus Burg, whose nativity is Sweden

had an opportunity to butt the fellow

would-be hold-up man was butted from
the bridge and fell into the oil and
water beneath. The Swede then made
his getaway and made no attempt to
help the man out of the water

TWO GAS LINES PROPOSED.
Eealdton Field Has Production Of
Five Hundred Million Feet.

Five Hundred Million Feet.
Gas production in the Hea!d;cn
field is estimated at 50O.0O0,0C0 feet
a day. Ardmore provides a market
for approximately 100000 feet aud
there is no other market for the gas
except what is used on the leases.
II is expected that announr"mcrt
will be made within 10 days from now
by the Lone Star Gas COMPANY of
Texas that il will build l6-inch
line from Petrolia. Texas, int the
liealdton field. Also parties III Okla.
homa City are eontemplatirg the
building of line from ;l1t city
to this field. If a market an BE-
provided for gas, the gas sales will
be pro rated among the producers on
the same basis on which Cil is pro
rated, and when there is a market fCr
the gas production, each producer
will be required to install gas sepa-
rators and gas of the field will be
conserved. At this time there are
wells which produce with the oil
several millions of feet of gas "A day
and this gas is going entirely to
waste.
1t seems that if the gas is con
served that the wells cannot be al
lowed to produce oil, and it has not
been the policy of the state to shut
an oil well do;cn in order to conserve
the gas, when there is no market for
the latter, but when market is
provided for the gas, the state will
take gas conservation in hand and
will rigidly enforce the state conser-
vation law.

New Day for Charleston.

The election of Major Tristan T.
HYDE as mayor of Charleston marks
the dawn of new and brighter day for
the metropolis of the State.
While the large foreign element has
always been a handicap to Charleston
and great barrier to law enforcement,
there is no denying the fact that
the failure of city officials in the past to
perform their duty has likewise been a
great drawback to the city's progress.
Corruption in politics and fragrant
disregard for law have brought reproach
upon Charleston that cannot be over
come in one short administration. The
election of Major Hyde as mayor, how
ever indicates that the people are tired
of the old order of things and have
faced about with determined purpose
to make Charleston what it ought to be
and what the other portion of the State
has right to expect it to be. In the
selection of their new mayor, no mis-
take has been made. Major Hyde is
not only man of extraordinary execu-
tive ability, and one whose integrity of
character is above reproach, but he is
constructive in his ideas and ideals
lust what is needed to pull Charleston
out of the rut in which it has moved
for generations.

Will Protect The Consumer.

For some time The Advertiser has
been advocating the enactment of e.
law that will prohibit fraudulent ad.'
vertising. The national government
protects the consumer from the un-
scrupulous manufacturer who adulter-
ates food-stuffs, but up to this time
this State has no law which protects
the consumer against misrepresenta-
tions as to the quality and value of
other merchandise. Few people really
know the quality of merchandise, be-
ing solely dependent upon the state
ments and standards of values fixed by
merchants. And as some merchants are
unscrupulous enough to misrepresent
values. especially in their advertise
ments, in order to draw trade, there
should be law making such misrepre-
sentation a misdemeanor. We are
pleased to see that a member of the
Richland delegation has framed law
thai will meet the need. The bill will
be intl oduced at the approaching ses
sion of the legislature, the text of the
measure being in part as follows:
"Any person, firm, corporation or
association, who, with intent to sell
or anywise dispose of merchandise,
securities, service or anything offered
by sucn persons, etc., directly or in
directly to the public for sale or dis
tripution, or with intent to increase
the consumption thereof or to induce
in any manner to enter into any
obligation relating there o or to ac-
ouire title thereto or an interest
therein, makes, publishes, dissent

public or causes to be made, ETC., in
this State in a newspaper or other
publication OF in the form Of a book,
notice, nandbill, poster, bill, circular,
pamphlet or letter or in any other
way, an advertisement OF any sort re-
garding merchandise, securities, SER
vices or anything so offered to the

an assertion, representation or state
ment of fact which is untrue, decep-
tive or misleading, shall be guilty vi
