CASINGHEA6 GAS
PRODUCTION GROWS
Statistics Place 1916 Output
at 104,212,809 Gallons.

Statistics Just completed under the
supervision Of John d. Northrop of the
United States geological survey, depart
ment OF the interior, show that the year
1915 was one of marked expansion in
the natural gas gasoline industry in
the United States.
The quantity of raw gasoline ex-
tractcd from natural gas, including that
produced by the compression and alb
sorption methods, as we'll as that OBJ
tanned by the use of vacuum pumps and
recovered as drips from -transmis-
sion lines. and sold in that year was
lO4 4N280 gallons, a gain of 38,848, ,l44
gallons, or SO percent over the output in
1915. The quantity OF commercial gaso-
line represented by the output of raw
casinghead product, though not susccp-
tible OF actual determination, wa. prob
ably more than two hundred million
gallons.
The average price received in 1916
for the unblcndcd product at the sources
OF production was IL cents a gallon,
and the market value of the entire out
put was $l4,4O8,2l0 a gain OF 8 cents in
average unit price and of $9,257,j7S, or
lH percent in total value, compared
with 1915
The volume Of natural gas from which
this quantity of gasoline wa. recovered
is estimated at more than D8,8OOOO0 600
cubic feet, the average recovery of gas
oline per thousand cubic feet by all
methods being about half a gallon.
The number OF plants for extracting
gasoline from natural gas increased
from 4l4 at the beginning Of 1910 to
594 at the end of the year. a gain of
43 percent, whereas the combined daily
capacity of all plants increased from
232356 to 484, ,448 gallons, or about lO8
percent

gas in the near future. That a pipe
line will be .laid to Ada and the gas
pipcd here to furnish fuel for the
factories is thought possible. 1t is also
probable that a line will be put into
McAlester and Q market for the fuel

The Lucilinc Oil and Gas Co, which
belongs to the Constantine interests
Of Tulsa, completed a gas well further

The Fossil Rock Petroleum Company
is starting a well almost between the
Moran wells and the Luciline wells n
Hughes County.
All OF these wells are on what is

Some gas has also been found in Tho

around Steednan. Oil men say there
is little doubt that gas underlies most

en- a serious obstacle to advancement,
but fortunately these answers. in the
light OF experience, are becoming less
numerous and the field OF certainty is
now sufficiently narrowed that we may
proceed with the expenditure of our
money with much more marked de-
gree of security
In Tulsa county we feel that we are
approaching our problem with method
and safety, As an initial step our
chamber OF commerce organized a
highway department and placed at the
head OF 1t Mr.. Cyrus S. Avery, presi-
dent OF the Oklahoma State Federation
Of Good Roads, vice president OF the
Ozark Trails association and who had
spent four years as county commits
sioner OF Tulsa county, during which
time he had demonstrated both his abil-
ity and his earnestness in highway i'm
provemcnt
This department employed a high
way commissioner whose duties II was
TO organize road clubs, encourage road
building and road maintenance, teach
road construction in school houses,
churches and private homes. This work
has been continued for a year and a
liberal subscription OF funds has been
expended in the educational work thus
outlined.
Many Roads Cross There.
Today Tulsa is upon the main line OF
the Ozark Trail from st. Louis to New
Mexico, the Albert Pike Highway from
Hot Springs to Colorado Springs. the
Tulsa Sloan Springs highway from
Tulsa to the Ozark regions OF north
west Arkansas, and is marked as a
probable station upon the King OF
Trails from Winnipeg to the Gulf OF
Mexico. In addition to these definite
" organized highway associations the
proposed Postal highway from Chicago
to Fl Paso and the Southwestern Mil
itary highway from ST. Louis to Anna
rillo are plated to pas, through Tulsa
This campaign of education has pre-
pared our people for the necessities
and the urgencies Of the situation that
now confront them, and with the ease
OF step and certainty characteristic

moving forward TO the issuance OF
81 10000 in road bonds to place in
Tulsa county over one hundred miles

Upon reaching the bond issue stage
of our program, the same degree oi

guiding hand of Mr. R. J.. McFarlin
president OF the TulsaN chamber OF
commerce, the matter was first taken
up with the governor who was request
ed to assign to Tulsa county the serv-
ices Of the state highway engineer for
preliminary survey, and to act in an

has been made and when the alignmen,

OIL WE'LL TOOLS (
ARE HARD To GET.
Lack Of Supplies Is Greatly
Hampering Increased
Output. !

As much depends On the opening OF
new fields to relieve the oil shortage ia
this country at the present time many
new wells have to be drilled daily. In
order to drive these wells much new
equipment is needed The question OF
getting these supplies is uppermost in
the minds of oil operators today, ac-
cording to the New York Evening Post.
The situation in this all important
branch OF the industry has been very
acute. due to the shortage of mater
ials for the manufacture of supplies.
The shortage of steel and the inability
of oil well supply manufacturers to get
the necessary materials has greatly
hindered the much needed production Of
oil In spite Of the rising costs for
supplies price is of little object to the
oil operators if they can only get the
material The high price received for
crude oil offsets this item Some Of
the costs prevailing have been summed

Look Beyond Expense.
The large initial expense of building
permanent roads is delaying their build
ing in many counties where their con-
struction is vitally essential, but in
Tulsa county we have reached the stage
OF commercial advancement where that
enormous waste, the mud tax, imposed
upon US by the dirt road, i, so appalling
that the hard surface or permanent road
must be built upon our principal arteries
OF travel as a matter OF business econ
omy.
Our best students OF the highway
problem are not only convinced that we
can afford to build the permanent roads
but they are also convinced that we
cannot afford to pay more money each
year to the mud tax" than the hard
surface roads would cost us.
II the money Tulsa county citizen
ship has been compelled TO pay as a
mud tax during the past year had
been levied as direct tax by lcglS-
lative enactment il would have required
the services of the state MALTA to keep
down local riots and to dispcrse indlg-
nation meetings against the lawmakers,
but coming as it has, we have accepted
I it with patience cmulating martyr
dom, and it has only the better pre-
pared US to assume the responsibilities
and burdens OF the hard surface tax
that is now admitted to be one of the
necessities OF our advanced position in
this progressive age.
Obstacles Less Numerous.
