Perhaps Arch Griaer well-knoWn and
liked marketer, never received a more
hearty welcome, nor ever will receive
more hearty welcome than he re-
ceived when ne made his appearance
IN the lobby Of Hotel Tulsa yesterday
For two days Mr. Grider had been re
ported dead, and while the sad news
did not bear an official stamp. neither
could an authentic denial be obtained
Arch's friends were plainly up In tho
cir and worried 10 death.
Hence when the man himself ap-
Feared with a home coming smile and
announced that. IN the words OF Mark
Twain, who once suffered from a par
allel experience, the reports Of his
death had been greatly exaggerated,
there was general rejoicing in the
bby.
Mr.. Gridcr had that additional i'm
Tetus TO his personal vanity accorded
t. few OF us -th1t Of being allowed to
attend his own wake and TO read some
Of his own obituary notices. 4 very
fine wake was quickly prepared for
Mr.. Grider with appropriate floral de-
signs. candles. crepe. etc. and this ac-
coriing 10 Mr. Gridcr. is one place
where the imitation beats the genuinN
all hollow.

4. r.. Humphreys In Town

A. +. Humphreys. OF the Humphreys
Petroleum company, arrived in Tulsa
yosterday from New York and states
that the financial world is recovering
from its slump and that everything
Is looking much brighter than in the
big towns. Mr. Humphreys Is opti-
mistic as ever and IS certainly enti-
ted 10 be feeling good as the big lease
at BILLINGS is about the best PROPOSE
uon on the mid-continent field. He
says that the Humphreys Petroleum
company is increasing It's capital stock
from 100000 to $1,000. 900, the in
O. ease to be offered to stockholders
from time to time AT pax.
The lease al Billings includes G,S4O
acres. all Of which looks good At the
present time there are six drilling
wells, one that is rigged up ready TO
drill ana two more getting ready for
the rig. The pipe line TO Perry is un-
Ger way and the company has acquired
100 acres for refinery site and will
have the line completed and shipping
oil from that point within six weeks.

Western Pipc lin Activity.

Work on pipe lines In the western
part Of the state in the CARRIER and
Billings district Is progressing nicely
and It viii not be long until ample
facilities will be available for the
handling Of the oil.
The Champlin Refining company
has most OF the pipe strung running
from the BcRgs lease in the southwest
Of 24-22-4w Gurbcr field to the re-
finey at Enid. II Is OF four-inch
diameter H. II Champliu Is said to
he buying up royalties in the CARRIER
field to assure "a supply Of crude for
the refinery aside from the Beggs pro-
duction
The Empire Gas & Fuel CO. has
completed q two-inch line from the
CARRIER field TO Fairmount whore it
connects TO loading racks.
The Sinclair on a. Gas co. Is run
ming oil regularly thru the line from
its production at CARRIER To Coyington
loading racks and Sinclair-Cudahy
tank cars are kept busy taking care OF
the oil
Work on the Humphreys Pipe Line
company's line from Perry to the Bill
ings field where it connects with the
big well on the Nell farm in 15-23-2w
Is progressing nicely and a big amount
Of the five cars of pipe that has ar
rived at Perry has been unloaded and
is being strung Two more cars are
expected to arrive shortly The line
runs ten miles north of Perry and
then west
The building Of the refinery at Gov
iugton by the Superior OH Il Refining
co probably means the building Of
another line from CARRIER TO Cow

John Bot who represents Henry
Wilmer in this field is back from

to the effect that owing to the mar

Sinclair Clerks Patriotic.

A party made up of r. E. Wilder
of the Central National bank. Mr..
Reagor OF the Exhange National bank,
and Lloyd Brush OF the sinclair OIL
&& Gas Co., canvassed the offices or
the different Sinclair organizations in
the city yesterday for the purpose OF
getting subscriptions to the Liberty
loan. The clerks responded nobly and
only five employees OF the company re-
fused TO buy bonds. Those who pur-
chased bought bonds In value from
$50 10 1850 and about $1,000 was
subscribed In all. This Is certainly
some record in view Of the fact that
none OF the heads OF the departments
or large salaried men OF the COM
pany were approached
During this week a similar cam
paign will be carried on among tho
field men working for the Sinclair or
ganizatiOn, and today J. II. Wheeler,
X. A. Griffith, o. Il. Dougherty and
w. j.. Martin will make tour OF
the fields on this matter. In the
meantime Lloyd Brush, chief OF scouts
for the company, will see to 1t that
the scouts are not overlooked.
