bERWYN IS
ON NAbUS|NESS
BO D N \ D VI
COMMISSIONER YOUNG STATES
THAT IT is THE BEST TRADING
POINT OF ITS SIZE IN THIS SEC
TlON OF THE STATE.

Commissioner Young stated this
morning that the citizens about Ber-
Wyn were doing something for their
town and surrounding country and
would soon have the ueatest town in
the state
To begin with, Bcrwyn is building
fifteen thousand dollar school house
that viii be second to none in the
county, when completed, Berwyn is al
so getting itself out of the black mud
and is graveling the streets on top
of a good clay foundation that will be
permanent. This will be welcome re-
lief to the citizens who had black
mud to contend with after every
shower.
Aside from the work being done in
the city, the citizens throughout the
neighborhood are interested in good
roads and are making some needed
improvements and building new high
ways. They have graded the old Hen
derson lane noted as one Of the worst
mud holes in the county and have
put it in such shape that 1t can never
overflow again Next Monday has been
set aside by the farmers of that com
munity to take their teams and haul
gravel from the Washita river at Hen
derson's crossing and top dress this
clay foundation. Tom Ellis, overseer
of roads in Morgan township, is doing
the work with the assistance Of the
property owners, and Mr.. Young states
that he is going to be worth all it
costs to secure his services. Mr. Ellis
built the road from the city to the
Chickasaw Lake club a few months
ago. that is being used as a model for
other road builders throughout this
section
The crop conditions about Berwyn,
Mr.. Young states, are in good condi-
ton, the farmers are well along with
their work and the merchants are all
doing a good business.

FIND WAR MUNITIONS
IN ICED BEER BARRELS

Paris, Aug. IA report from Ru-
charest that orders had been issued
to the Roumanian officials at all from
tier stations to make the most thor
ough examination of all freight cars
owned by Austria-Hungary, Germany
and Turkey, to prevent any possibility
of tie passage through Roumanian
territory of munitions and arms, was
officially confirmed today at the Rou-
manian legation in Paris.
1t is reported that carloads of beer
barrels packed in ice, sent from Ger
many to Turkey, were examined and
the barrels found to contain war mu-
nitons. The freight cars are re-
ported to have been provided with
false bottoms and walls, behind which
arms were hidden. Every device
known to modern smugglers is sid
to have been used to pass arms and
munitions through Roumania for the
Ottoman troops
Because of this state Of affairs the
adyices from Bucharest say, the Rou.
maniln government has requested en-
tente allied powers to lend it expert
enced customs examiners and detec-
tives to assist in enforcing the pro-
hib.tIon of transit in munitions.
"Au Of which" said an interested
diplomat questioned here today re-
gardug the truth Of rmors that
Roumania already had concluded an
Intervention agreement with the
Triple Entente powers and was only
awaiting the concurrence of Italy,
tends to prove that the negotiations
for Roumania's early entry into the
war. on the side o, the entente allies,
are proceeding satisfactorily"

Cushing Oil Takes Advance.

The Prairie Oil and Gas company
notified the state. corporation COM
mission this morning that the price
Of Gushing crude had been advanced
from 4Oc to soc a barrel which is
an advance of % per cent This was
due to the fact that the Paden well
proved to be Of enough Importance
to affect the market. There may be
field at Paden, but it is practically
certain now that it will not be of
such proportions as will oppress the
market. That an advance will be
made soon in the Healdton field is
believed here, and oil men are en-
couraged over the report. That Ok
lahoma oil will be selling for as much
as 81 q barrel before another year
is passed has the opinion of many
people. Since the market is looking
better. there will be more interest
manifested in wildcat wells and a
greater activity will prevail.

PROSPECTS
ARE GOOD FOR
CAR SERVICE.
HEARING SET FOR TENTH OF
MONTH WILL PROBABLY RE-
suit IN SLEEPING CAR SER
VICE BEING ESTABLISHED.

a petition has been before the state
corporation commission for some time
asking that a sleeping car be set out
at this city for the benefit Of Ardmore
citizens and also those who live in
Durant and Hugo, and at the hearing,
which is to take place the tenth, the
chances are good that the commits
sioners will make the order.
The plan is to have the sleeper that
is attached at Oklahoma City and ar
riyes here at 1880 a m, set out here
and be attached to the Frisco that
leaves in the early morning for Du-
rant and Hugo This would give those
living in those cities the privilege of
a good nights rest. Returning, the
car would arrive from Hugo over the
Frisco, arriving here at p. m, and be
picked up by the northbound Santa
Fe leaving here at 1907.
This arrangement would be appreci
ated by the travelling public who are
compelled to leave the sleeper if they
take one from Oklahoma City at an
early hour.

The price on al oils in the northern
portion of the state jumped today to
fifty cents. This led to much specu-
lation concerning Healdton. One oil
man, who has had much experience,
said that Healdton had no chance for
an advance in his opinion, until all
the oil is being taken. The field has
a production of at least fifty thousand
barrels a day, and the prospects for
market during the fall months are
for sales of only about one-half that
amount, and in the opinion OF this
producer Healdton oil will not ad-
vance until a market has been pro,
vided for all of it.

This statement is made upon the re-

well. The Prairie company has made
another location and it is probable
that other tests will be drilled to de-
termine whether it is an edge well.
The failure of Paden means that
Holdenvile will be drilled in. The well
there will be drilled in during the

and it may be drilled in during the

deal calls for the drilling of three

tered into the deal which gave Mr..
Phillips a block of 500 acres in one
body. This drilling will be north Of
the Wildcat Jim and almost half way
from the Wildcat Jim well to the

esting test to a large number of

The oil from the Homer well is
selling as a lubricant at soc a gal

expect that other wells will be drilled
there before the end of the year to
