G. w. Young, commissioner from

so called farmers picnic that begins
here Thursday stated that there was
no truth in the announcement what

parting words of the campaign.
Candidates for county office before

at this gathering which is well known
at present to be nothing more or les
than socialist picnic gotten up on
the eve of the election in order to
give few of their spellbinders an

insults to the flag itself state that
there is nothing doing, that they have
no time to spend with a lot OF vision

Willing to Shut Down.

There will probably not be a rush
to put low priced oil in high priced
steel storage and the conditions favor
a shut down in the field 1t is be
leved that during the month of Aug
ust very few rigs will be running.
The producers all seem willing to
shut down and all they need is for
some one to take the lead and pro
pose an agreement to this effect and
it is believed that all of them will
subscribe to such an agreement as
will limit the drilling to wells that
must be drilled to protect lease con
tracts which would be offset wells
and contract wells.

STILL PRESENTS A PUZZLE
Second Well Has Been Drilled to the
Simpson Sand in Section Fifteen.

Second Well Has Been Drilled to the
Simpson Sand in Section Fifteen.
The second well has been drilled to
the Simpson sand in section 15-4-3 and
it is just a little puzzling to the fra
ternity. The dip to the south is So
feet in 300 feet. That dip is extreme
and it might mean that it is differ
ent sand and that section 10 has n
series of sands, like the main portion
of the field. No. s Simon Ward
reached the Simpson sand at 1858
feet. No. Simeon Jackson located
800 feet to the south, found the Simp-
SON sand at 1898 feet. The last well
was drilled TO a total depth of 1904
feet This gives the well just about
IL feet of the sand. The production
is at the rate of $50 barrels per day
and when the well is fixed for pro-
ducing it is believed the production
will go higher. 1t may reach rom
600 to 700 barrels. 1t is flowing
through the casing at the rate of $50
barrels a day. Other wells are drilling
in that locality and the extent of the
sand will be learned, but very little
is known of it at this time. TIE
sand in the last well is unusually |
fne,-it is almost like powder. The I
oil is of the same grade as in the
first well

Gravity Tests.

A report from the. field states that
the gravity test on the Westheimer &

is 375 which is found in Skelley &

Magnolia Petroleum Company.
By d. C. STEWART
This means that Healdton oil was
cut this morning from soc to zoe.
The soc price was reached March 13,
and was held about four and a half
months. The price or Cushing crude
was reduced 10c yesterday and
Healdton dropped today. And the
drop was 10c Gushing crude is sell
ing for more than double what Head
ton crude is bringing. When Gushing
began to go up Healdton did not fol
low quite so quick but in the down
ward rush it follows in quick sue
cession. When Cushing would get a
ten cent raise we would get a five
center maybe, but when it starts
down our reduction is the same as
tnelrS. lnere is not any question
but what we deserve to be dealt
with a little more Kindly, a little
more humanely, but fellow has as
well stand out and talk against one
of these west Texas cyclones. The
price will probably reach soc. 1t is
not believed that it will go to 30c
again and when the advance comes
the price will make a new high rec
ord-at least that will be done if
history repeats itself. The demand
for petroleum products is such that
the price will not be low for very
long period and there is some con
ISOLATION in that.
