MAGNOLIA DECLINES TO
RAISE PRICE OF CRUDE

Healdton producers sent a telegram
TO the Magnolia Petroleum company
and all other purchasers Of Healdton
crude calling attention to the mad
equacy of the price Of ninety cents a
barrel for this oil as compared with
other oils of the Mid-Continent fields.
and stating that an increase in price
is imperative, due TO one hundred per
cent increase In the cost Of supplies
that enter into the production Of oil.
The Magnolia has made reply to the
telegram which sets out that the price
cannot be made higher at this time and
assigns certain reasons Of tIfe company
and presenting its attitude. The text of
the telegram follows:
Dallas, Texas, July 2, 1917.
~. L. Hamon and Other Producers:
Your telegram of June 80 received.
While II is true that there is now a
very large demand for fuel oil at much
better prices than have prevailed. yet
this demand cannot be availed OF for
want OF transportation to get oil 20 des-
tination. Neither boats nor cars can
now be obtained, except TO very limitco
extent to move fuel oil, so that our
company is not able to make increased
sales at these high prices except TO
very limited extent; furthermore. the
very conditions OF which you speak,
namely the greatly increased cost OF
labor. steel and other material. does not
warrant building large amount OF steel
tankage for storing Healdton crude un-
der present conditions. We appreciate
the spirit Of courtesy in which you pre-
sent this matter and your feelings on
the subject but feel that conditions nj
present do not warrant our making any
change in price.

The compilations for the month OF
June show that there is an increase of
activity at Healdton. During the past
month there were 76 wells completed
and only three were abandoned. There
are 81 rigs up waiting for tools to be
moved in and there are AZ rigs under
construction. The total number Of pro
ducing wells is 1851. The amount of
storage oil is probably little less than
II was a month ago. This is due to
the burning of four tanks on the farm

have this consolation, that there has

ECGLESTON FAMILY REUNION.

The Sentinel feels sure that many
of its readers will be interested to
know that the five daughters of Col.
and Mrs. w. c. Eggleston, who died
in Grenada some twenty-five years
ago, had a family reunion on Sep
TENDER 18th, at the home of Mrs.
H. R. Jones in Fort Worth, Texas.
Those present besides Mrs. Jones
were: Mrs. R. Daley of Torrance,
Mrs. E. f. Gardner (nee Weet Eggles-
toni of Dallas, Mrs. Lewis Trahern
of Pauls Valley, Okla, and Mrs. Mary
f. Hagler of Tuscaloosa, Ala. 1t is
needless to state that the occasion
was one of more than ORDINARY JOY
to these excellent people and that
many incidents of childhood and the
happy long g were reviewed. Even
matters that were at their occurrence
regarded trivial were gone over and
! luxury seer in them that only those
of similar experiences and of refiec-
tive minds can understand. 1t had
been nineteen years since last they
were all together.
The Eggleston family are of course
remembered by the older citizens of
Grenada, all of whom will bear testi-
mony to their excellence and to the
high esteem in which they were held
by this community. Their home was
on College avenue and is now occu-
pied by Rev. H. NJ. Brownlee and
family. The Sentinel joins their old
friends in wishing them yet many
years and many other reunions.

doubt that, considering the additional
work the motor delivery can dc
it is much cheaper to deliver this
way than with the ordinary horse and
wagon. The Sentinel predicts thai
