BILLY ORR's VERSION OF THE
RACES :.

The Ochiltree speedway race was
one of the most successful speed con.
tests ever held In this city. was
agreeably surprised at not finding
more competitors in better shape for
racing. AS soon as I looked the
bunch over l realized that l had q
chance for third money. The Hud-
son and the little Buick six were the
most thoroughly equipped cars. The
big Buick six and the Pierce Arrow
/ knew could make more speed than
"Old Betsy" but their equipment
was bad and they couldn't possibly
last but little while. The Stutz
and National 1 was sure l could out
run, and did until they dropped out.
In the first days lineup I figured 1t
out right. I got third place.
After receiving the purse for third
money was congratulated by many
Liberal friends and that evening
John Baughman asked me II would
accept a free entry for the next
race-2OO miles. I did.
I decided to try my luck and rep
resent Liberal and the Edison Auto
Company once more. Still felt that
there was slim chance for third
place, just chance Of luck.
The lineup for the 200-mile race
was as follows: Buick little six, Big
six Hudson, Page six, Pierce Arrow
six and old Betsy. After the flag
dropped everything went we'll with
us for rs miles when a wire came off
the spark plug. At 1870 miles the oil
pump broke but we filled the crank
case and kept the air pressure on
our extra supply tank pouring con-
slant stream of oil to the motor.
Wilbur Shelton, commonly caller
Sharkey, my mechanician, discovered
this trouble almost as soon as 1t hap
pened. At $50 miles the center main
bearing began to pound, at ITO miles
discovered still another knock. My
hopes for second money began to
fade in the distance. Sharkey was
fighting the oil pump bravely with
the hot oil blowing directly in his
face and he finally had to discard his
goggles, being unable to see through
them.
Poor old Betsy did her very best,
but 200 miles was just ~ too many
miles. There being no other car for
third place 1t was naturally awarded
to me.
One other thing wish to mention
and that was that / certainly did
appreciate the cheers and the back
ing given to me by the Liberal people
and my other friends, and to tell
them that in the next race we will
try to win higher money.

IN MARSHALL COUNTY
Some Big Oil People Interested in
That Promising Area.

Some Big Oil People Interested in
That Promising Area.
That there will be another Cushing
oil field developed in Marshall county
is an opinion held by some oil men
who have the means and the courage
to test out that county with the drill.
Roy NJ. Johnson, who has been very
fortunate in his plans at Healdton,
has recently completed the blocking
of nine thousand acres in that county,
in township seven south and five and
six east. According to reports OF
the best geologists obtainable, these
lands are located on a big anticline
that looks very favorable for oil. Just
to the south of tie acreage, and
located on what the geologists say
is the side of the anticline, several
shallow gas wells have been drilled,
which are known as the Lark gas
field. Reports state that the Cosden
Oil and Gas company has holdings
there, and will drill two wells near
the Johnson antcline. Other COM
panies and individuals Interested in
that portion of Marshall county are
the Prairie Oil and Gas company
the Carter Oil company, the Gypsy
Oil company, F. A. Gillespie, and the
Humble Oil company. The Tide
Water Oil company of which Lee
Hager, the celebrated geologist, is
president, owns lands in fee in that
locality, which it purchased upon the
advice of its president and oil geolo-
gist.

Pipe Line to ST. Louis.

The ST. Louis Republic recently
contained an interview with H. F.
Sinclair, when he visited that city to
close the deal for the Milliken inter
ests. Mr.. Sinclair said that the plans
of his companies involved the laying
of a pipe line from the Oklahoma
Oil fields to st. Louis and Chicago,
and the construction of modern refin-
cries at both places.
Mr. Sinclair talked freely about the
plans, saying that the enormous in
crease in domestic consumption of
gasoline, lubricants and motor pro
ducts opened Wild field for capital
and practical men to supply this de-
mand. Oklahoma north Texas, north
Louisiana and Kansas produce GO per
cent of the refining crude, and st.
Louis and Chicago are centers OF
heavy consumption. With pipe lines
and refineries his organization can
reach and supply this great trade ter
ritory proftably. Starting with $780,
600, 900, the capitalization will be in
creased as the business expands

A Record Drive.

L. W. Burrow, who has charge of
the Roy NJ. Johnson interests west
of Healdton, and who has seen many
storms play over oil fields, has never
learned to like them very well. He
was not very anxious to meet an
electrical storm Friday night while
in the fields, and at 9:45 he left the
field and just one hour later he ar
rived at his home in this city. That
means forty miles an hour after night.
He was four miles out of town
when the lightning struck the tank
of oil at the refinery and his road
was lighted up by the burning gas
and oil. A report of the fire and
the damage done to rigs in part is
found in another column of this paper
today.

Forming Own Conclusions.


The statement has been made that
the Texas Company will not come
into the Healdton field at this time.
The reason given is that the COM
pany has more oil now than it can
care for in a satisfactory manner. If
this statement is true,-and it very
probably is,-the lines that are being
taken up in the upper fields will not
be moved here. One of the uneX-
plainable things in the oil business
has happened here. The Texas built
tanks, built a pipe line from the field
to the tanks, built a water pond of
large proportions at the tank farm,
indicating that a large pump station
would be built to convey oil through
a long pipe line and at time when
the Healdton field needs relief the
statement is made that the Texas
company will not make any runs of
Oil 1t is one of the uneXplainable
things, and each fellow can form his
own conclusions.

A Progressive Company.

in the field within short time.
These tanks that are under construc-

kept empty for emergencies In event
the pipe line for any reason cannot

Three contracts were closed in May
involving the delivery of approXi-
mately 6,5OO,O0O barrels of fuel oil
to Texas and Louisiana consumers.
The |. & G. n. railroad contracted
for its fuel requirements for one year
approximately 100000 barrels

specifications call for oil of 16 de-
grees Beaume or better. This will
allow the mixing of Mexican crude
with gulf coast grades for the Hous-
ton deliveries. Fort Worth deliver
les will be mostly residuum from the
refineries of the Gulf, Magnolia and
Pierce Fordyce. The total consump-
tion of fuel oil by the /. & G. n.
