THE PECAN INDUSTRY
offers Big Source Of Revenue From
Waste Lands.

The Purity Pecan Plantation, owned
by Messrs. Warren, Fox a. Stahl, has
received a shipment of Columbia
pecans from Georgia. These pecans
weigh out from 80 to 3S to the pound
and are very fine favored for the
large pecan. These pecans show what
can be raised here in Carter county
instead of the smaller nuts which are
raised here. Carter county produces
more pecans than any other county
in Oklahoma, but the crop could be
made ten times as large, and only
waste lands used in growing them.
The pecan factory here will be an
other feature that will encourage the
growing of more Of these luscious nuts
in this portion of the state.

short time.
Cushing and Shamrock and contigu-
GUS fields are producing about 10000
barrels, Healdton is producing about
10000 Morris and Stoneblulf are pro
ducing about 1900, Okmulgee 1lOOO

the price area which it promised to
be Augusta is rather slow in making
a substantial showing, although great
activity prevails there. The oil area
there is narrow, 1t promises to make
long field, but in some Instances it
it not more than half mile in width.
Augusta has not been the great power
in holding down prices that some of
the fraternity thought & would be.
The brightest prospects for a new
field in Oklahoma is at Fox, north Of
the Healdton field, in Carter county.
Enormous gas wells have been found
there and one well drilled into the
first sand only is probably capable
of producing 100 barrels a day. Other
wells are starting there, but it will
be a year before the field will have
been developed to that point where It
will be known whether It is really an
oil field or not. The fraternity and
the railway companies are playing It
for a field and It will probably prove
to be a good one, but 1t is beyond the
power of man to know. He can do
nothing more than pass judgment, and
that judgment is not better than a
mere guess.
In the meantime. conditions are
bound to get better at Healdton.
There is a demand for Healdton crude
and when the field once throws aside
its limitations all the oil will be taken
and at better prices. There is a market
for all the storage oil al better prices
than are being paid for fresh oil
runs and local people assert that they
are in the market for fresh oil runs,
and offer to take the full production
from leases with which its lines are
connected. These offers are but straws
which point in the direction of a
brighter day for Healdton crude

Jury Finds Jim Smith Not Guilty.

Friday afternoon the jury in the
case of the State VS.. Jim Smith.
charged with murder, returned a YER
dict of not guilty and the defendant
was discharged.
This is the case wherein the de-
fendant was charged with killing Bob
Nabors at Ragtown Just before the
primary election. The evidence in
the case disclosed the fact that Smith
was not the aggresscr, and that the
killing was accidental, as the pistol
with which Smith struck Nabors was
accidentally discharged and that
Smith struck only in self-defense.
The defendant was represented by
James Mathers, Thomas Norman, and
J. b. Champion, while the states side
was taken by County Attorney Hardy
and Assistant Attorney Bass.

Two Hundred Barreler.

A very interesting telephone report
reached here last night from the
field The report states that the
Humble Oil company, drilling on the
Treebee farm in the northwest corner
of the northeast 40 acres of the
northeast quarter of 2i-i-3 drilled
through 100 feet of pay sand. The
drill was still in the sand at 1160
feet. The well made no gas but had
the appearance of being good for 200
barrels of oil. Mr.. Goddard of the
Humble company could not be seen
last night and the report is not con-
firmed but is in all probability true.
This would indicate that the Ride
nour Baker well to the north of it in
13-4-3 is north edge well in the ex-
tension and that a heavier production
may be expected south. The Exten-
sion Oil company is drilling an off
set well to the west of the Humble
and the prospects are good for that
company to get a well equally as
good.

Reports Say Santa Fe Well is Good for
Twenty Barrels.

Lindsay, Okla, Oct. 2S.-The Santa
Fe Railway company's test well on the
Sims farm in the northwest quarter
.of section two, township two north
range five west, continues to increase
in its flow OF gas. At six hundred
fifty feet it is estimated to be a TWEEN
ty-barrel well.
a. p. Sims, on whose land the oil
and gas was discovered, has sold forty
acres of his land to the Ardmore Oil
company for five thousand dollars.
Oil men from every part of the state

mobiles and on the Rock Island and

Gypsy Is a Wonder.

Gypsy the new town in the oil
fields is just a little over three weeks
old. but it has probably made more
progress than any other new town in
the history Of the Oklahoma oil bust
ness. Up to date more than thirty
five lots have been sold on Main
street for business houses, Several
buildings are already completed and
more are under construction. Plans
for the OIL Exchange bank are ready
and its construction will begin at once.
Arrangements are being made to
supply Gypsy with gas from the Lew
cinda well and also for piping water
to residences and business houses.
Good water in the immediate field is
scarce article, but Gypsy has fine
well, which drillers state is one of
the best in the country, and will sup
ply an abundance of water for the use
of the inhabitants.

Julien A. Hurley. Malheur coun-

entitled TO the solid support OF the
republicans OF this county.
He will not favor any part of the
county as against the interests of the
rest of the county, and he has the
ability and energy to give this coun-
ty a strong representation in the leg
islature.
Malheur county has as many vot-
ers as Grant and Harney counties
combined, and as we have never had
state senator. we are entitled to
the office at this time.
Mr.. Hurley is In favor of system
of rural credits that will permit the
farmers TO borrow money from the
state, at six per cent interest, on first
mortgage security. He also fayors
state aid for irrigation and drainage.
aud as he has made a success of the
practice of law and has a large ac-
quaintance over the state. there is
every reason to believe that he will
be able to secure some good legisla-
tion for this part of the state.
His slogan is, Economy in APP
