 The aushor, which smashed all re- cords of the past year in the oil folds of jhis section shows ne signs of diminishing i'll flow. Arrange ments for tanking tho output of the great well are rapidly being cQmplet- cd. and although tn company was caught unawares when the gushcr came in, it is now believed none of the oil will be lost
 The well is known as. the Duhon- Toler well No. l and is in section g., township T, range 16 of the Caddo fl Id. It is in what is known as the Monterey district, southwest of Viv- ian and is on the outer edge Of the old field which has been producing wells of capacity of from 5G to 10G barrels. The well was brought in at a depth of approximately 2.400 feet and as it's immenso production had not been anticipated, there was no tankage ready and the well had to be shut off almost as soon as it was brought in But enough was learned to know that it will be big produc- CT and it has generated new interest in the Caddo field.

New York, Sept 19.-The terms Of the loan which American bankers 1 are to make to France and FngIanl are nearly agreed upon. The exact amount of the io9n has not yet been l fixed
 The joint commission representinc the British and French governments, 'hell short session at the Biltmorc hotel today. It was not settled wine her the agreement should con- tain 8 clause that no p&rt of the money or credit should be used jo pur- chase munitions of war. There are many prospective American sub scribSrs who do not want to have anything to de with the financing of war supplies, but who recognize that
 at this season of the year Europe usually takes six hundred million dollars W0r h Of American wheat ana cotton.
 To arrange for payment for these American products, by creating q credit here for France and Fnclard to draw upon, is their sole motive in subscribing to the loan, and many German banking firms will partieI- pae only on this condition. Not a dollar Of this mcnY will be spent ab2cad. The entire sum will be deBosited at once in 100 or more American banks, and will be used to pay for supplies, chiefly for cotton and wheat. The cotton and wheat are now coming jo market in Gulf and Atlantic coast ports, and at least $500 ,000.Q00 will be required within the next ninety days to pay for it, ThsJ general terms of the lean will
 be as follows:
 The amount will be near thrcc- quarters of q billion dollars.
 The joint commission wants to make it round billion.
 The American bankers want the er-}it only large enough to cover foods, raw cotton and clothing ex- ported
 In that case, war munitions would
