field, and the drilling is under con-
tract to the World Drilling Com
pany of Oklahoma. This company
expects to begin its we'll as soon as
il can get the rig placed. The con-
tract calls for 4 3,000-foot hole.
Pruitt & Liston, who have the
Sellman ranch under lease, have
their rig up, but operations have
not yet begun.
Three miles beyond the Pruitt &
LiSton rig, an S5-foot derrick is up,
and everything is in readiness to
begin work rs soon as the well ma
chinery arrives. However, this To-
cation is not definitely settled, and
it is likely the rig will be moved
closer to Rochelle before drilling
begns,
The Great Eastern Oil Company
ms leased from Bob Sellman, LOO
acres lying th'ee miles east OF Ro-
chelle, and have contracted to be-
gin drilling a deep well at once.
Like activity is being evidenced
IN the Mercury-Milburn section. R.
II. Allison OF Houston, a geologist
representing some big oil interests,
mas been stalking out we'll locations
in various parts OF that country.
Among other stakes marking well
locations have been driven on the
w. A. Weldon land, and also on
that of II. F. Mcbride and r. L.
Sansom, and it is expected the well
drilling will begin on these places
before many weeks. The Burford
4 Brimm Company also has its To-
cation picked on the J. +. Cawyer
place and viii begin work as soon
as their we'll machinery can be got
ten in.
On the ]. K. Beasley tract, just
his side of the Miburn bridge, the
Cunningham interests are hauling
l6-inch casing to their well site.
Their derrick has been erected for
some three or four weeks, and OPP
erations are awaiting arrival of the
drill. This vlll is to be started off
with a l6-inch hole.
In the immediate Brady country,
probably the most noteworthy oil
news is contained in the announce
ment Of the leasing by H. p. Roddie
q Company Of 1000 acres from
Charles Stcclhammer with drilling
contracted to begin on or before
January |.

the IIealdton field will soon be in
operation. The completion OF this
line, with the other lines already
in the field and the rehneries in
operation or under construction,
will see an outlet capable OF hand
ling twice the production OF the
Ilealdton field, as we will set out
more fully in 4 future article in this
column. 1t is gratifying to local
producers with heavy interests at
Fox to note what Mr.. Crowley
thinks Of the possibilities at Fox.
The Worlds article is as follows:
The Sinclair Pipe Line Com
pany has announced a new 6-inch
line from the Healdton field to a
connection with its main line at
Gushing. This means that the Sin
clair people are determined to fur
nish all the oil necessary during
the period OF the war and do it at
all hazards and without regard to
other plans so long prepared with
the Gull coast as an objective point
The pipe has not only been or
dered but many cars are already
on the way and will be delivered
during the coming week. The con-
tract for the line has been let tc
the big contracting firm of Pitts
burgh who have just completed the
Sinclair line to Chicago, namely
Senator Flynn's big concern which
is incorporated as the Booth-Flynn
Company. This means that the line
will be completed in record time
as at least 1000 men will be on the
Job within a rev days.
The surveyors have been work
ing and the right-of-way men have
been busy, all of which is a sur
prise to many Of the competing pipe
line people and the most interesting
race for quick work is therefore
starting.
The new line will help put the
HCaldton field on the map and al
last the producers in the south end
are going to have all that is coming
to them. 1t viii doubtless add great
ly to the glory of Ardmore, our sis
ter oil metropolis, and there should
be much rejoicing.
Speaking OF the route traversed
by the new line, it is proposed,
said Mr.. Crawley, to tap the new
prospective field at Fox, where We
nave some very good holdings, ant
from present appearances, the FoA
field is going to be well worth con
meeting up with, You can readily
see that should the demand for OF
at some future time be greater or
the coast, we can pipe oil in that di
rcction and thus be prepared tC
profit by the better market "

serves and coffee. The menu for the

LOSES FINGER TO ENLIST
Oregon Patriot Believed to Be First to
Make Sacrifice to Get
Into Army

Baker, Ore.-Gordon Alexis French.
a Baker man, is today member of his
Uncle Sans army because he had a
finger taken off. French is believed TO
be the first man to get rid of a finger
so he could get into the army.
French applied for enlistment some
time ago and was refused because the
second finger of his right hand-the
trigger fnger-was permanently bent
in on the palm as the result of a
childhood injury. The recruiting Off
Ger told him that was all that stood
between him and service.
French had the offending finger am
putated at the second joint, and now
is the proud possessor OF a uniform,
