RUSSIANS HERE
 SEEKING BETTER TRADE RELATIONS Representatives of Big Cor poration Guests of Cotton
 Exchange.
WANT TO OBTAIN
 COTTON DIRECT
Purpose oi Tcur of $. \. GluSlElnOk and F. M, Hill, Here Yesterday, Is to Arrange for Cotton Shipments
 to Russian Ports.

S. A. Glushanok. vice president of the Russian-American Direct Trade corporation, and F. M. Hill, manager of the New York office of the same company, were guests of the Pine Bluff Cotton exchange yesterday aft ernoon and evening, being present al a special meeting of the exchange members yesterday afternoon, and be- ine entertained at a luncheon at the Hotel Pines last evening, by the ex- change.
 The visitors have been making a hurried trip through the cotton sec tion of the Southwest, and were at Little Rock yesterday. They mad planned to go to Memphis last night and were prevailed upon by George Rogers. former Pine Bluffian, and now vice president of the Bank ot Commerce of Little Rock, to motor as his guests to Pine Bluff. Last night they expressed their very great pleas ure at having come here, and espe- cially at having been so cordially greeted and so well entertained.
 For Direct Trade Relations.
 The Russian-American Direct Trade corporation was formed some time ago by large Russian financial ant commercial interests. to foster direct trade relations between Russia and the United States, and especially SC as to cotton. Heretofore, Russia has been compelled to obtain it's cotton through Liverpool or Hamburg, pay ing heavy brokerage and other fees and it is planned now for Russia to purchase it's cotton in this country and ship it direct to Russia.
 Texas and Louisiana have already been visited by Messrs. Glushanok and Hill, and they stated last night ,hat cotton in this section appears far advanced over the growing crops in either of the other states. They expressed their surprise and graiitica- Cn at having seen such magnificent terday around Pine Bluff, and be- tween- this city and Little Rock. and the impression was created that i'll their future dealings, they will re- member that Pine Bluff is the center of a very rich cotton country, which produces a high grade, long staple fibre.
 Yesterday afternoon, MT. Glushanok 1 was taken on an automobile ride by Cashier M E. Bloom of the Citizens bank. making a visit to the Horton island plantation of Ziba Bennitt. P P. Byrd took MT Hill on an automo- bile ride down the Star City pike, wis iting several cotton plantations and ;,,r 1o NyV.:c Collier as Postmaster.
 T. J. Collier, president of the Cot ton exchange, acted as toastmasteI at the luncheon last evening, al the Hotel Pines, in honor of the visitors but there was no formal speechmak- i ing, the talks being conversational i only in their nature. Those in at- tendance at the luncheon were s. A. G!usIacok, Y. N. Hill, N. 2. Bloom, George W. Rogers, T. J. Collier,

STORM SPOILS TRIP.

Charles H. Triplett, Jr., and Clyde Smith, who started few days ago on an automobile trip to the South At lantic coast, ran into the storm in Mis- sissippi, were compelled to abandon their car, and went by rail to Meri- dian. They are there now, inspecting good roads, that country having the same conditions which exist here, and thus being good section in which to study roads. They will go to Birming- ham, where they will be joined by Frank Triplett, and travel to Atlanta, their original destination.

Chuch Of Christ.
ROLIA BROWN,
Guardian,

The meeting last evening was mark
ed with growing interest. Though it
was the hottest night of the season
yet experienced, the crowd was larger
than the night before.
The lesson on Salvation by Grace"
was a great, plain and scriptural one.
The speaker showed that after men
had sinned, there could be no way
to heaven but through grace; that
after one sin had been committed,
though that sinner should live a per-
feet life from the time of the COM
mitting, he must die without grace.
Such sinner has no power in him
self to take away that one sin. Only
through the pardoning grace of God
could he ever be relieved of the death
hanging over him. Therefore the
speaker emphasized that salvation to
all sinners has to be a gift; that no
sinner, whether he be a great sinner
or small sinner" can live after death
in happiness and joy except that eter-
nal life be given him. "The wages of
sin is death, but the free gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord" Rom. 6:23.
Tonight Mr.. Armstrong answers the
question put to our Master in Matt
1916: Teacher, what good thing
shall | do that | may have eternal
life?" Since salvation is by grace,
and no sinner can be saved but by
grace, what part does "do" have to
do with my salvation. Do have any
thing to "do" in order that l may have
eternal life? Be sure that you do not
miss it,.

Reports received here from the
rainstorm last night indicate that it
covered a wide area of country.
George S. Craven and +. f.. Hair.
grove came in from Kansas City.
They entered the storm area at New
ton and stated that the wind was
severe and the rain was heavy, but
as far as they know no serious dam
age was done. They saw corn fields
on the way down that bore evidences
of having been marked by hail. but
none of the crops seen were ruined
or seriously damaged.
Sol Lewis came in from Oklahoma
City. He says the wind blew hard
but as far as he learned there was
no serious damage.
Hal Muldrow is here from Nor
man. A window in his home was
blown out, which frightened his fam
lily. Some plate glass fronts in the
business section were blown out,
but further than that no damage was
done.
T. w. Hunter of Hugo spent last
night in Pauls Valley. He stated
that the wind blew hard there, but
no damage was reported
Mrs. John C. Mulkey and Mrs. r.

CONDITIONS AT HEALDTON
Field is Quieter Than it Has Been
For MANY Weeks

For Many Weeks.
Some of the local producers were in
the field yesterday and they state that
things are much quieter than they
have been. Many of the leases have
their tanks full and have shut down
the pumps. Day before yesterday the
Producers line took only 1000 bar
rels. This company is handicapped
on account of its tank cars being tied
up at the coast. The Magnolia is not
running the capacity of its line and
some of the producers report that
about one-fourth of their production
is being run. If relief does not come,
it is probable that the state will take
the field over and attend to the pro-
rating of oil runs. The Magnolia has
asked the state to take charge of the
field, but the commission does not
want the worry on its hands and will
not do so unless complaints are made
Some of the producers have storage
and are running oil to the pipe line
and to storage, while others are run
ming only to the pipe line. Many of
the local producers are buying steel.
1t is reported that the Crystal, the
Ardhoma, the Gates, and the Bullhead
have recently placed orders for steel
tanks, and several of the companies
have pooled their interests and are
negotiating for the purchase of as
many as twenty steel tanks to be
purchased in one order Governor
Cruce says the oil business will never
be handled properly until the price
of crude petroleum is fixed either by
federal or by state laws, and repre-
sentatives of the Indian department
who were here recently, state that the
conditions at Healdton should be re-
ported to the federal trades commits
sion. The present condition has
tendency to lower the price of crude.
One tank was sold this week at the
posted price in the field and some 9th
er tanks have been offered, but so
far no buyer has been found. Stor-
age oil has been selling at a price
above the posted price and Col. Peck,
the celebrated oil reporter roasted US
when we said the price had reached

AUTOMOBILE RACE

Yesterday afternoon quite lot of
excitement was created when a race
was run between a stock Ford tour
ing car, and a Dodge roadster, from
the Ringing railroad tracks to Rag
town, distance of 80 miles. Quite a
lot of partisans of both cars were on
hand to see the cars off and in their
anxiety to reach the scene hurriedly,
thirteen were pinched by the police
for speeding, and this morning their
little cash bond of one simoleon was
turned into the city general fund
The Ford got the jump on the
Dodge at the start and Murphy who
piloted it, was never headed. He stat
ed that he crowded the machine for
all it was worth until after passing
Hewitt when he observed that he was
so far in advance that it was useless
ITO take chances on injuring the ma
chine and slowed up. He made the
distance in So minutes. The Dodge
which had some motor trouble and
also skidded dangerously near the
ditch at the start, came in three min
utes later. The record is a good one
for both cars; the road is anything
but good and that both cars came
through without scratch and at such
speed speaks well for the material
and workmanship embodied in them.

GOVERNMENT is INTERESTED
HaskeII-Owens Well Near outcrop Of
PENNSYLVANIA Rocks


John S. owens, who iG making
preparations to drill in section IL
4-1w, is in receipt of a letter from
the department of the interior, U. S.
Geological Survey, in which the de-
partment states that it is interested
in the well for the reason that it is
located near the western outcrop of
the Pennsylvania rocks, and leaves
the impression that the formations
are favorable for oil. The depart
ment wants a log of the well, and
sends blanks to be filled out by the
driller and also offers to send sacks
for mailing in samples of the forma-
tions. Mr. owens says this is his
sixth wildcat well in the southern
portion of the state, but this is the
first time the government has mani
tested any interest in the result
1t is very evident that the United
States Geological Survey is of the
opinion that the well is properly To-
Gated to make a strike of oil.
