visitor here from Houston, Texas. He
and Mr.. Goddard visited Healdton
together where the company's pro-
duction was inspected Mr.. Sterllng's
company has a good production in
Texas now and only recently a 10000
barrel well was drilled in within 800
feet of the company's line in the Tex

pany entered Carter County before
Healdton was discovered, some wells
were drilled in the Wheeler field. and
when Healdton came in the energies
of the company were transferred to
that field.

WHY PRICES ARE HIGH
Unusual Record Made in HeaIdton
Field in Oil Production.

Unusual hS(OIu WGue w FGdluVOn
Field in Oil Production.
Since the Healdton field was first
brought in the cry has been heard
that the local people wanted too much
for oil lands and that they held their
production too high. Healdton prices
may have been high, but there is a
reason. Here is statement of one
of the reasons why the man who
owns Healdton production wants to
hold it until a good price is offered.
\ well that was drilled on the Carlock
& Dexter five acres two and a half
years made 500 barrels when first
drilled and the well today has a
production of 800 barrels. This small
lease is producing from three wells.
When production holds up like that
oil mon are justified in demanding
high prices and they are scarcely Jus
titled in selling at any price. Such
long lived sands are almost unknown
in the oil business. II is usual for
wells of this size to drop within two
and half years TO about 25 barrels
or possibly less. but not so with
Healdton, as these figures on the
Carlock & Dexter well will show
What is true Of this well is true in
some degree Of the entire field and
is also true Of the Santa Fe field in
this country. The holding Of produc-
tion so well on the part Of these two
fields lead the oil men to believe
that other great pools will be found

UPWARD TREND OF OIL
Report from Cushing Says That High
Premiums Are Beina offered.


A report has reached here through
a reliable source that an offer of 81 20
was made for oil runs for a specified
amount of oil to be delivered daily
for a period of one year in the Cush-
ing field. Oil is selling there now at
below the dollar mark and if one of
the refineries is offering this sum
for oil for year 1t is very evident
that this refinery sees quick and a
sharp advance in the price of crude.
Blackwell has not been the price men
ace which it was predicted it would
be. Augusta is not the field the oil
men thought it would be, and men
who have given much study to oil are
firmly of the opinion that present
prices will not prevail for very
long period.

DAY Of
COUNTY FAIR
GREAT EVENT
THOUSANDS OF VISITORS AT
TEND OPENING OF THE FIRST
ANNUAL CARTER COUNTY FREE
FAlR.-EXHIBITS.

At the moment of going to press
the county fair grounds is a perfect
mass of human beings. 1t is impos-
sible to estimate the number which
Is honoring Ardmore and visitors
day. Hundreds of farmers wagons
are parked in the grove. more than
four hundred automobiles are parked
in their division, and every livery
and service car in the city has been
hauling load after load. 1t will be
safe to say that before the gates close
tonight the number will run to twenty
thousand or even more.
Large delegations are in from out.
side towns, Madill leading with a
special train load of nearly two hun
dred. Marietta. Sulphur, Davis,
Wynnewood and Pauls Valley are all
well represented. Hundreds are in
from Wilson, Ringing and the oil
fields. The most conservative Ard
more booster is no less dumbfounded
than the most ardent and optimistic.
The future of Ardmore as a fair cen.
ter is settled and plans for a nam.
moth fair next year are already un.
der way.
Perfect Order.
The day has been ideal and perfect
order was maintained. $50 far as
can be learned not a single incident
has marred the day. Chief of Police
Hutchins and his entire force are the
happiest crowd in ofiicialdom. "The
crowds are the best behaved | ever
saw" said the chief, but what else
should be expected in Ardmore. 1t
makes me proud of our city and our
people"
Exhibits Excellent.
The exhibits are attracting unusual
attention. Too much cannot be said
for each exhibitor. The poultry dis
play is a revelation and some of the
finest birds ever seen on display are
at the fair. The same can be said
of the livestock and the agricultural
exhibits are of the highest order.
Many Features.
There are many interesting features
one of which is Mrs. Lindsay's horse,
which bears his thirty-six years of
life marvelously well. He Is a center |
of attraction and the old fellow peeps
over his stall at the track and seems
anxious to get into harness to show |
some of the young bloods how to
travel. The Indian exhibits is another |
feature attracting attention, while the |
have as usual added lustre
to the hall with an array rarely seen
at fairs.
Tomorrow, Saturday, which is Car
ter County day, promises to rival to-
day in point of attendance. Thou |
sands of farmers will be on hand and |
this afternoon many are coming in !
and will camp at the fair grounds
over night.

the first of the year at 100000 tons.
One Indication of the mighty effect
of the European war on the steel in
dustry is shown in figures presented
by the Bureau of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce which shows that
the total foreign shipments in 1915
were 3,513,453 tons, an increase of 20
per cent. over the previous maximum
established in 1913 and nearly 135
per cent greater than the exports in
1914. AS the total domestic and for
eign shipments in 1915 were esti-
mated at 24.OO0,O0O tons the exports
were 14h per cent. of the whole as
against 10 per cent in ordinary years.
The prosperity in the steel market
has also spread to the pig iron indus
try which is reviving after a period
of depression. In the last ten days
sales in all distributing districts have
aggregated 100000 tons, more than
half of which was steel making iron.
The total sales in February were in
excess of 10000 tons and since the
first of January 1,250,000 tons. 1t is
pointed out also that the steel COM
panies generally manufacture their
own pig metal and are dependent
upon the open market for only a frac-
ton of their requirements. About

Admiral Asserts Big
Navy Should Be Rushed

Washington, Feb. 29.-New con-
struction for the navy should be linr
tied this year only by the country's
facilities to build, Rear Admiral Aus
tin Nj. Knight, president of the Navy
War College. told the House Naval
Committee yesterday.
Admiral Knight said that battle
cruisers and scouting craft were the
things needed vitally to make the
present fleet of dreadnaughts effective
The facilities of the country should
be strained Immediately, he said, to
provide at least six battle cruisers and
eight scouts. Nine battle cruisers
would be better, he thought. but with
six and 200 additional men the navy
would be in efficient shape within two
or three years, within the limits of it's
numbers
AS a part of the 1917 program, the
admiral urged that Culebra Island, off
the eastern end of Porto Rico, and
the farthest outpost on the road from
Europe to the Caribbean, should be
made an impregnable fortress, where
the fleet might be based. Guam. in
the Pacific. he thought, should be
similarly equipped, and each base
should have a huge floating dry dock.

Ipig iron is sold on the open market.
Rebound Was Swift

pig iron Is sold on the open market.
Rebound Was Swift
The production and consumption of
pig iron last year was record break
ing and open market sales were in
excess of 100000 tons. Steel men
predict that the 1916 production will
surpass this record.
The swift rebound in the whole
steel and iron trade from the extreme
depression which it experienced in the
months following the outbreak of the
European war has caused a ferment
of expectancy which is being COM
pared to the feverish days of 1899.
There is a good deal of talk about an
inevitable reaction but as proof that
no such reaction can come in the inn
mediate future II is pointed out that
the estimated untitled orders of all the
steel companies aggregate $4,000, 900
tons.
The steel corporation subsidiaries
have contributed 10000. 600 to this
total, estimating nearly 100000 tons
as inter-company business. This
means that the mill capacity of the
country Is under contract for nine
months production at the pesent
time and large sales have been made
for delivery over the first quarter of
1910
