barrels of Gil. The market price was
offered and declined. Premiums were

of oil was a premium o. I5c above the

TALKING Southern Oklahoma.

eral days the third week in August
visiting Mr.. and Mrs. d. A. Denniston
and his son and transacting company
business. Paul is a heayyw eight and
felt a trifle smothered, he said, in
sea-level atmosphere after whiting
Panhandle breezes: but all that's only
a notion conceived by a fat man.
Mr. Gage stated that the Lone star
company was surveying for the con
struction of gas line from Peuolia
into southern oklahoma For ,yeral
months he has been horrifcally. busy
with conferences, talks, interviews,
and rebuttals involving CITY officials,
newspaper reporters and prominent
citizens who appear to have formed
the impression that the Lone Star
people are directors of an eleemosy-
nary institution. Our old friend Will
liam Kennedy, the Lone star, geolo-
gist, is kept busy steering the COM
pany away from phonay gas fields

CONFLICT IN AUTHORITY
Does Commission or Department Of
Mines Have Authority?

There is a very live question in
Oklahoma that ought to be taken up
by the courts and settled. That uues-
tion is one that involves the authority
of the corporation commission in gas
conservation. There are oil men who
claim that under the constitution the
commission has no authority, that this
authority is conferred upon the de-
partment of mines. There are others
who 'ake the position that the legs-
lature conferred authority upon the
commission and the department of
mines has no statute under which it
can act. If gas is to be conserved the
question of authority ought TO be set
tied. 1t is an easy matter for the
cwner of a well to give no heed TO
instructions from an officer from one
of these departments and to appeal to
the courts. While the case is in court
the gas could be wasted. Oklahoma
has a vast wealth Of gas and oil and
II is entitled to reap the full benefits
of these natural resources. While
there is conflict of authority the
best work cannot be done.

DAMAGE SUIT FILED
Robertson Alleges That Break in Gas
Main Caused Loss of Baby.

Joe A. Robertson has brought suit
against the Dundee Petroleum com.
pany asking for over $4,000 damages.
Plaintiff alleges that on the 10th day
of last November he lived at Writ
in the Healdton field, that the defend
ant company furnished him with gas.
that on the 18th day of November the
gas was cut off and remained off for
"a hours, that three days prior to this
baby was born TO his wife and the
child died on the 18th of the month.
He alleges that the weather was cold
and the child chilled. He asks for
$4,000 for the loss Of the child. 5000
for the illness of his wife, and s75
for doctor bills. The company states
that gas pipe broke, that 1t had to
be mended before gas could be fur
nished its customers. The ,uit was
filed about nine months after the day
the trouble is alleged to have oc-
Cured.

Babcock's Lucky Purchase.

w. NJ. Babcock of the Humble Oil
company owns tho northwest quarter
of section 24-4-3. This quarter section
lies directly south of the new well Of
the Producers Oil company in the
southeast extension. The prospects
are that every foot of it is in the pro-
ducing area. One of the best informed
men in the field has expressed the
opinion that the north half of this
section would be the best portion of
the Healdton field. Whether that is
true or not only the drill will tell, but
it does promise to be worth a million

He met a number Of oil men last
night and talked over the situation.
He stated that he would go to The

time in gathering information and
in aCquaintinG himself with every de
tail of the operations. In speaking
of the new well at Fox he said from

seemed that ii would be an easy mat

he engaged in the oil business and

Milkmen Win Fi8ht.

Sometime ago the milk producers in
the Maryland Pennsylvania Dairymen's
Association asked the Baltimore dealers
and distributors for an increase of 2 cents
per gallon for their milk. claiming that
the increase in cost of production was
too great to continue selling at the price
then received Several conferences were
held, and after considerable talk and ar
guing and investigating the distributors
have agreed to pay the increase asked.
The people of Baltimore therefore will
hereafter pay 81 cents per quart and 81
cents per pint for bottled milk.
The distributors agree to pay, begin
ming November |, the following scale of
prices:
For November and December, % cents
gallon.
For January, February, March and
April, 20 cents gallon.
For May, June, July and August, 18
cents gallon.
These prices are increases from l6, IS
and 20 cents gallon.

For And Against.

The two words "For" and against"
have been before and claiming the atten-
ton of the citizens of Maryland recently
more perhap s than any other two words
in the dictionary,
Are you "for or against" can be heard
many times during an evening if per-
son is near a crowd and if one is alone
he finds himself almost unconsciously ar
guing the subject with himself.
The editor of the Baltimore Sun in
Mondays edition, lays before his read
ers his views of prohibition. He is both
''for and against" After due delibera-
ton and study Of the subject he finds
that, zone of the facts which we think
is beyond dispute is that prohibitory laws
are benefit to rural sections and that
they can be satisfactorily enforced there.
The testimony to this effect is overwhelm-
ing. Experience in the counties of Mary
land which have been dry" now, some
of them. for great many years, agrees
with the experience of other states on
this point. Because of this fact The
Sun is strongly in favor of prohibition
for the counties. 1t hopes that in every
one of the sections outside of Baltimore
city where a vote is to be taken next
month a big majority will be rolled up
for prohibition, and that it will be so big
in each case as to leave no doubt as to
what the preponderant sentiment of the
people is"
After some very good argument in re-
gard why Baltimore city should remain
wet" he says, "The Sun there
fore urges its readers to vote against
the Prohibition Amendment in Baltimore
city,"
Along the same line of arguing it
would appear that liquor is good for the
big city but bad for the little village.
The time is coming fast when every
voter will be to decide for himself
whether he is "for" or against
