cloudburst at the headwaters OF the
Guadalupe river in Kerr county, fo'-
lowed by two days of heavy rains
throughout the Guadalupe river basin,
resulted in disastrous flood. in many
places, especially in Kerr and Ban

tie and farm property to destruction
Various estimates give the damage
anywhere from $25O,OO0 % 100000
Several homes were wrecked ~
the flood, but no loss of life has been
reported. Thousands of head OF cat
tie, sheep, goats and other stock
were killed. Twelve inches of rain
fell in Kerr county in less than that
many hours. More than mile OF
track on the Kerrville division of the
San Antonio & Aransas Pass railroad
was washed out, suspending traffic
on twenty mi es of the main lire and
all of the Fredericksburg division.

before the pipe line to Gainesville
can begin making oil runs, the pro-
ducing companies who have contract
ed to sell it oil must build their gath
ering lines into the pump station or
the eight-inch lines which the com
pany has built out into the field. 1t
is stated that members of some of
these producing companies who have
objected to the sale will ask for an
Injunction against their companies to
restrain them from building the gath
ering lines.
1t is probable that some litigation
will have to be settled before the con-
tracted oil can be delivered Some of
the companies whose leases are de-
partmental lands, fear that the con-
tract, without the approval of the sec
retary of the interior, is a violation OF
departmental rules, and subjects their
leases to cancellation at the hands of
the department. The interior depart
ment will make an investigation of
the matter at once. The contract was
written by such eminent lawyers as
S. T. Bledsoe of Chicago, James r.
Cottingham and Sam Hayes of OLA,
homa City and Chas. Won Weise of
Ardmore, and is presumed to be as
well written contract as could be
gotten up by men of the legal profes-

tanned on the properties may provide
a feature of some danger of cancel

going to dollar, it is reasonable 10

which provides for its sale at 30c

crude will report that there is no
chance, in their opinion, without ap-
pealing to the state corporation COM
mission. The committee has gathered
some new information on the value of
the oil which it has for presentation
to the commission at the hearing. The
committee will also desire to get in
structions from the producers con-
cerning the making or a further refin-
cry test of the oil. 1t has an oppor-
tunity to ship as much as one thou
sand barrels to refinery where the
oil can be given a test to determine
its properties better than they can be
arrived at by running through a skim

the committee that some of the pro-
ducers are making preparations to
place oil in storage without regard to
the conservation law, and they say that
such storage cannot be prevented with
out appealing to the law, and the com
mittee will ask for information to guide
it in preventing one company from
storing a greater pro rata of oil than
they are entitled to remove from the
