just think of this. Our whole
sale houses have heretofore had
to ship through to Cushing,
thence overland to Drumright.
This meant that we had to meet
the competition of Oklahoma
City with the freight balance on
the side. of the latter.
With the new road Tulsa
wholesalers can ship direct to
Drumright, a distance of 50
miles, while the wholesalers of
other cities will have to pay
freight to Tulsa, then pay a
transfer and then the freight to
Drumright-which will make it
possible for our wholesalers to
give the merchants of the Drum
right fields such prices as will
assure their patronage.
Oil Supplies Remain Here.
1t also means that there will
be no more talk about the great
number of oil men and large
supply houses and big pipe line
companies and what not moving
to Oklahoma City because Okla.
homa City is the nearest large
city to the fields. Without the
new road all such talk had some
basis on fact, now, though,

cess.
They Want 1t That Way.
Then found another great ad-
vantage for Tulsa wholesalers
and manufacturers in Drumright
that is the people who make up
the population of that city. Time
after time | met friends of mine
who have heretofore called Tulsa
their hOme-They are yet our
friends--and they will have
powerful voice in placing the
wholesale and manufacturing
trade of their neighborhood.
Tulsa folks should make it a
point to get acquainted with the
folks of this great new field. We
can do much to help them, and in
their turn they can do much for
us.

Some Late Compilations.

There was a continuance of
good completions in the big
field during the week, some of
which showed large daily pro-
duction. AS has been the rule,
the bulk of the gushers were de-
yeloped in the northern portion
of this wonderful area. The last
few weeks have failed to show
any extensions to the producing
area and it will be some time be-
fore any of the outlying tests are

AARON DRUMRGGHT
"he man who came To Tiger creek
o farm and stayed to build city
farmer. Little did Mr. Dumright
lream that his fate lay i'm other
ines. He admits that his whole
leSire at that time was am oppor-
unity to plow out a home for his
family in the more balmy climate
Of Oklahoma.
He knew there was oil a-pleuty
n Oklahoma, but had not paid
much attention to it's develop
nent, and in general, thought
there was probably as much "hot
air" in the oil business as there
was grease.
He got off the train at Cush-
ing and began that now famous
and rocky ride over the hills of
Creek county to Tiger creek.
When the First Well Came In.
Drumright is of the pioneer
mold, and the fact that there
were no near farmer neighbors
did not keep him from buying
his land. He agreed with the
realty agent and prepared to
start his humble pioneer home; ;
but the next day the Shaffer well

that they should let the town
move on, and devote attention to
the collection Of royalties, or the
development Of oil properties
Town Builders Prevailed.
Their town building desires
prevailed, however and each be-
gan to lay out their properties.
BY mutual agreement the main
street was placed ON a section
line, thus giving each farm
frontage ON the business section.
In February of 1913 the first
Drumright addition was laid out.
At the same time the Fulkersons
offered a portion of their proper
ty. In the 2years that have passed
.he Fulkcrsons have sold over
100000 worth Of lots, and al
though he would not state the
figure, Mr.. Drumrght admits
that he has sold a first, second
and third addition, while the
fourth is almost done and the
fifth is already laid out to be Of
fered in the spring. Its the
last Of the farm, was his rather
wistful expression when telling
this, and his tone and manner
was such as to make one wonder
if he did not wish sometimes that
fame and fortune had not been
quite so strenuous with him.
Wheeler of Much Faith.
Along with Fulkcrson and
Drumright another fortunate
laudholder has taken his part in
the fortunes of town building. Mr..
+. NJ. Wheeler, who probably
more than any other man is due
the credit for the discovery of
the Tiger creek oil country, is
now deyoting his attention to
town development ON the farm ON
which the first oil we'll was
struck.
Mr.. Wheeler does not claim to
be an oil ferret, but his observa-
ton in other fields led him to
have faith in the possibilities of
the Tiger district. -Four years ago
he found outcroppings and forma-
tions that led him to start cam
paign among oil men for tests.
lirst, however, he carefully Sc
cured a portion Of this land for
Wheeler.
Then the First Dry Hole.
b. b. Jones and associates, as
is well known among oil men,
started the first test. Mr. Wheeler
says that he protested against
their location, but suggested the
creek bed. Their first dry hole
is silent testimony that he was
After the Jones failure
it took more work and much faith
on the part Of Mr.. Wheeler to
make other oil men believe his
story and take seriously his show
of outcropping samples. C.. b.

due to reach the pay formation.
There are a goodly number of
good locations yet to be drilled
in the northern and southern
pools, while in the old develop
ment but a few remain unless the
operators decide on drilling some
of the wells closer together, but
this will hardly be done at pres
ent, when large producers are
being struck in other localities.

that we all wish with them for a
fulfillment of their fondest hope.
Tulsa's Benefit to be Great.
And from the standpoint of
Tulsa this Drumright field prom

new railroad through the Drum
right pool is going to do more

of oil, although the oil came at
gusher speed. When the prolific
stratum was tapped the well was
connected and the oil allowed to
flow in tankage and then it was
drilled a little deeper. John
Markham, jr., has been having
good luck on his Yarhola lease In
section S-1S-7 and has a daily
output of close to 10000 barrels
at this time.

reason for hesitation. On one side
hundreds of squatters were de-
manding the privilege of buying
land for homes and business
houses, offering attractive in
duccmcntS to swing the farm
owners their way. On the other
hand the 4,000-barrcl production
suggested by the Shaffer well
was a silent but strong argument

Shaffer, however, was finally in
duced to try a test ON the location
proposed by Wheeler ON the
Wheeler farm. The Tiger creek
or Drumright pool-the most
wonderful oil pool ever known to
man is the result.
No Picture From Him.
Yet Mr. Wheeler is not very
proud or boaStful-I thought his

these interesting families. His
modcsty is only personal, how
ever, for once you open up the
subject of Drumright and the
Tiger country oil fields, he comes
back with a fund Of information
that includes its history from the
first spud to the future greatness
Its every widening area assures.
Its q City of Young Men.
OF course its impossible to tell
you about the different men that
! met in Drumlight who have
played their part in its wonder
story-but there is just one i'm
preston | received that | want
you TO haye-and that is-most
every man in charge of the com
mercIal interests of Drumright
are young mcn-men who have
not passed the middle stage of
life men who are yet gifted
with the blessing Of great hope
and much faith-men who yet
have the strength to do and to
dare-JuSt the kind of men who
build villages into towns and
towns into cities-On the whole
they were the most hopeful sign
for Drumright future that greet
ed me.
Are Willing to Pay.
Drumright folks realize that it
costs to build city, but they are
going ahead with confidence.
Will Need More Labor.
In the spring, carpenters and
bricklayers will be wanted in
plenty. Burney Brasel, a drug
giSt, say he proposes a two-story
brick in the spring; the Drum
right State bank is going to
build; Odell & Stephens, cloth
iers; Roberts & Achterman pool
hall owners, who are known to
hundreds of oil field workers,
Markey Fall and others that
cant remember now, told me
that they proposed modern bust
ness buildings.
Build Blocks of Sidewalk.
Then, too. they are going to
lay sidewalks of concrete. Mr..
Drumright told me of one six
block contract he was interested
i'm, and Harley Fulkerson told me
Of another four-block job.
We Should Be Glad.
Drumright is a neighbor to
Tulsa. We are the closest whole
sale center. Their citizens buy
thousands of dollars worth of oil
field materials from us. Many of
them lived with us and are our
personal friends. 1t seems to me
that we of Tulsa should be proud
and glad to see Drumright meet
success and to do all in our
power to help her.
