WONDERFUL
OIL FIELD At
REALDTON
FIVE HUNDRED TEAMS PLY BE-
TWEEN RlNGllNG AND THE
FIELD. TENT CITIES BUILDING
AS HOMES ARE SCARCE.

1t was learned here yesterday that
the Magnolia Pipe Line Company has
pipe already en- route to Healdton to
double its twenty-siX miles of siX-inch
pipe line from Healdton to Addington,
The company has been at work for sew
eral days looping ten miles of that line
and was ready yesterday morning to
begin making runs of 10000 barrels a
day which it hopes to keep until the
| line is doubled, when it will be able
to make runs of 10000 barrels. The
company has not authorized any state
ment concerning the doubling of the
line but the information comes from
source which is absolutely reliable.
The Producers Pipe Line company
has already purchased and has stored
in the field 1900 barrels and it will be-
gin making regular runs Monday morn
ing. While all of its pumping machin-
cry has not been installed, yet one
engine and one pump is ready for OPP
erations, and the company will begin
making regular runs Monday morning.
With the Magnolia taking 10000 bar
rels, and the Producers taking 12,-
500 barrels, and such companies as
ha ha Eat
the Ardworth and possibly the Roxana
disconnected from the lines. the capaci-
ty of the pipe lines will be almost equal
to the production of the field.
This condition of affairs is going to
bring on a fight for oil and the price
will quickly ascend to 75c or 81. When
these lines are running their full ca
pacity, the troubles of the field viii
have been ended and all the dissatis-,
faction which has resulted from pro-
rating oil runs will have drifted away
on the winds, and Healdton field will
become more harmonious ,as well as
more profitable.
Producers are now just beginning
to see the light, and when the price
once advances to the dollar mark,
there is small probability that it will
ever reach a lower mark.
There is every probability that be-
fore the end of the year the Texas
Company will have built line into
the field and will be in the market
for as much as 10000 barrels a day
The building of the big storage tanks
of the Roxana McMan, Twin State
and other companies will be the means
of inducing the Texas Company to
build its line and when that company
has purchased oil sufficient to justify
the construction of a line, it will be
built Immediately.
The Roxana company is now build
ing steel tanks in section 3-4-3, but
this is to be only a very small tank
farm. The company is now on deal
to exchange the property it has pur-
chased in section 34-4-3, near the town
of Joiner for something like 450 acres
Of land farther west toward Ringing
which is now owned by Percy Webb
lf Fort Worth. A 450-acre tank farm
for this company means an immense
amount of energy and labor in the
field and in all probability means that
the company will some day own its
lwn pipe line.
The Twin State people are in the
ie,d now and it is stated upon good
authority that they have purchased
and for a tank farm and tina. tney
will inaugurate an aggressive Irill-
ing campaign.
Persons who have not been in the
Healdton field. cannot realize the ac-
.ivity that prevails there. On Friday
of the past week 500 teams were load
I'd in Ringing and there was de-
maHd for more In one instance
man paid $40 for team and a driver
for the day. There is a demand for
more teams. there IS a demand for
more men in nearly every line of
work and there is a sharp demand for
feed and farm products to -upply the
