Oil Being Purchased.

The common carrier shipment of
25,000 barrels run by the Magnolia
company for the Dundee-Samoset COM
panies was completed Friday night.
Runs from all the producers were re-
sumed Saturday morning and as far
as is known here the runs will be
continued all this week, and from
5000 to 10000 barrels a day will be
purchased. While it has been cur
rently reported that other common
carrier shipments would be offered
by the Dundee and Samoset people,
that is probably not the case. Frank
Harper. secretary of the companies,
stated to the Producers association
that one shipment of $4,000 barrels
was all that had been sold and the
order of the corporation commission
would also prevent recurrence OF
the common carrier shipments.
The pipe line did not take up all
the pond oil in the field. Producers
are very slow in getting their pond
oil ready for the line There remains
to be taken 1900 barrels and most
or all of it is on the Crosbie lease.

Prairie Oil and Gas company has
paid into the treasury of the state of
Oklahoma one and a half million dol
lars in taxes on stored oil. This does
not mean in one year, but in the years
the company has been doing business
in the state. The conservation laws
now in force will keep the oil in the
ground, and it will not be taxable.
Here is where the state makes a
sacrifice for the general good of the
people of all the states In order to
keep the oil from wasting, it is re.
lieved of the tax money.
