OIL WELL
STILL NOT
BROUGHT n!
Leaky Boiler Cause Of Trouble Yesterday
and Further Delay Reported Today;
No Definite News

An unverified report from Cement
at noon today said the driller got
ready for business at the Kunzmuller
test during the morning but soon after
operations were started there was a
slight cave-in under the casing causing
further delay in bringing in the well.
This information came from man at
Cement. No report of definite ma
ture had been received here up to the
middle of the afternoon.
A lealSy boiler which rendered it inn
possible to get up sufficient steam to
start the drilling machinery, was CIV
en- as the explanation of the failure to
bring in the test we'll at Cement Tues
day afternoon.
1t was estimated that from 400 to 500
people visited the we'll during the day,
including rs or more men from Chick
asha. 1t was reported that another
effort would be made to drill in the
we'll this morning but that spectators
would be barred from the property.
+ c. Hall brought to town a bottle
of oil that was taken from the well.
"The well flowed again yesterday"
said he. Estimates of what it will
produce vary all the way from Is to
200 barrels. When the bailer was run
yesterday pure oil was brought to the
surface. Lease figures in the vicinity
of the well yesterday varied from $50
up to S40O an acre but I heard Of no
trading. it is understood that the Car
Ter company will drill an offset well
immediately, and according to reports
at least five more wells in this field
will be started within the next sixty
days"

That a more active interest is being
taken by the school teachers through.
out the county than ever before in
the organization Of boys and girls
clubs is the statement Of 0. c. Cooper,
who is now deeply submerged in work
pertaining to this branch of his duties.
Not that the school master or mis-
tress did not lend active participation
last year but that they are better in
formed now and can work more intel
ligently and effectively to the end
that Grady county might participate
in state homes in the fall
Interest is being aroused in new dis
trlcts, in localities in which the club
work was not known last fall. or the
nine schools which have already been
visited since the first Of the year by
the county agent and in which clubs
were organized, four had never taken
up the work in former years. Al
ready 16S club members have been
listed and their names sent in to Still
water to the A. e M. extension depart
ment. These include the membership
from the nine schools mentioned and
some renewals from last year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper returned yes
terday from McAlester where the
county agent went to look after his
farm. His plan to return on Saturday
was altered by the illness Of Mrs

it would inspire the force at the bank
with the idea of both thrift and eau
tion against making losses in any de-
partment. 1t will also serve to make
the employe feel that he is a part Of
the institution and to increase his fl
deity,
Later in the season we plan to
make extensive improvements in the
interior of the building, also adopting
a number of new business systems
which will put the Oklahoma National
bank on the map OF efficient banks in
the state.
sour business has grown to such
that we can hardly take
care Of it with the present arrange
ment AID equipment. This is the rea-
son for the proposed Improvements"
