BIGGEST WELL AT HEAlDTON
The Schermerhorn Well Has Probable
Production Of 5000 Barrels a DAY.

a very interesting feature has de-
veloped on the Schermerhorn lease.
Well No. 3, located about 400 feet
north of the center of section 5-4-3,
which was reported at 1900 barrels,
has increased its flow until it is rather
difficult to estimate just what it will
make. The well was opened for two
hours Friday and flowed at the rate
of 1000 barrels a day. The pipes at
tached to the well were not sufficient
TO run the entire production. and it is
probable that it will make 5000 bar
rels day. The well is remarkable
and especially so for that section,
which has not been known heretofore
for its big wells. L. McKinlay who
has had charge of the lease since de-
velopment began is elated over the
big well and is rejoicing with his COM
pany in its wonderful production. Vic
Martin, the driller on the well Is also
greatly pleased with the results. The
sand was found here at $40 feet and

Republican Committee Meeting.

Yesterday afternoon the republican
county central committee met at the
court house for the purpose of dis
cussing the registration law, and also
to lay some plans for the coming
campaign.
1t was suggested that probably a
ticket will be put in the field this
year for county officers. but action
was deferred until early in June,
when a mass convention will meet
and decide upon whether it will pay
to make the race or not. All the
prominent republicans of the county
were in attendance here yesterday,
and harmony seemed to prevail.

is entitled to under the law.

presses regret that congress author
lied only half of the sl,000.000 in

quate method of collecting the income

mainder may yet be granted. 1t de-
nies a report that the government is
