three gassers and one small oil well

Reports from the field during TIM
last few days state that geoIogists
have been prowling the Cement field
for some time the universal opinion
being that if some driller could get
through the heavy gas pressure and
tap the level of about 1920 feet,
real oil sand would be discovered.
Ranola Ia Threatening.
Reports from the Stephens county
field state that the Ranola Oil com
pany, drilling in 14-1s-9W north of
the famous Magnolia well, has
touched good oil sand at 2,165 feet.
At the latest report they had not
drilled in, the bit being. only about
six inches in the sand.
The showings were reported good
and the drillers we're getting the

expected that the we'll will be drilled

The Aubyme Oil and Gas company
operating in the CARRIER field is drill

Bynum who has just returned from
the field. They are making good
progress with this well and are hav-
ing little trouble.
Their No. l well is producing
nicely, also. 1t is flowing an aver
age of 100 barrels of oil day and
the natural pressure is holding up
well. Up to this time it has not
been necessary to put the we'll on
the pump. Oil men declare that
when the gas pressure settles and
the we'll is put on the pump, it will
make more than 100 barrels
The Dempsey company, operating
in east Stephens county threatened
yesterday. They struck fairly good
oil sand at a little pelow 300 feet
but the we'll had caved somewhat
and 1t was impossible to estimate
the production. 1t was generally
considered to be small but the indi
cations are that a splendid well will
be discovered at a somewhat deeper

That the movement recently start
ed by Oklahoma bankers to secure
the stabilization of cotton prices by

In favor all over the cotton grow
ing states and even at Washington
was the opinion expressed yesterday
by f. T. Chandler who has just re-
turned from a second meeting on
the matter held at Oklahoma City.
Senator Robert l.. owen who met
the bankers declared that he had
been convinced that the step was
one of the most original and timely
that confronted scathern markets
and trade and enlisted his support in
the cause.
over forty delegates from all parts
Of Oklahoma as wet az the ether

to confer with Senator Owen, Con-
gressmen Dick T. Morgan and Tom
McKeown to ratify the action that
has already been taken toward maxi
ing national the cotton market and
wedding out dangerous speculation
on this falls crop. 1t was the unani-
nous verdict Of the association that
the same lines should be hammered
until results are obtained in federal
legislation.
Could Take Over Crop.
In his speech to the bankers and
cotton growers Senator Owen de-
clared that the United States govern
ment is even now we'll prepared to
take over the entire cotton crop of
1918 and that after the war cotton
prices will advance to such figure
that the treasury department will
be repaid for the protection of the
market. AS a last resort the cotton
surplus may be stored in government
warehouses until the war is over, MI
owen suggests. In his speech to
the bankers and growers the senator
declared that the most feasible plan
at the present time is to approach
the situation through the department
heads at Washington.
Mr.. Chandler who is pioneer in
the cotton market stabilization plan
has been named as one of the two
delegates to Washington from the
Oklahoma Bankers association and
has already made one trip to the
capital in the interest Of the move

the scheme will receive the indorse-

COOLED OFF KAISER BILL!
HOW A NORWEGIAN DUMPED
PRINCE WILHELM
Man at Our Aims House Who Had
Personal Contact With the
War Autocrat

Strange things happen in this world
OF shifting scenes; of affiuence and
poverty; of fortunate and unfortunate.
This thought is suggested by a mat
ter that has just been called to the
Censor's attention by Superintendent
POWELL of the county aims house. In
note he says that he now has as his
ward a gentleman who is supposed
to have had personal contact with the
notorious Kaiser of Germany. The
mans name is Ole Jonsrud, who for
several years resided with friends
near Westby, and is well known about
that community. Jonsrud has been
at the county home for some time
and is now very feeble, and the big
man the county institution grimly
remarks, zone would little suspect that
he had at one time cooled Bill off
Mr.. POWELL says a recent letter re-
ceived by Jonsrud from a niece in
Chicago serves to substantiate the in
cident and story told about it by joins
rud. In the course of long letter
the niece wrote her uncle a reminder
as follows:
The Way He Cooled Kaiser Bill
"Uncle Ole: Do you remember
when you were young man in Nor
way and were driving the stage coach
Tor whatever they called it, from the
hotel to the depot? Well the time
you took the Kaiser, who was then
Prince Wilhelm, to the depot, and
threw him head first into the snow be-
cause he wanted you to drive faster.
1t is too bad you didn't make an end
of him then and perhaps this terrible
war would not have happened, al
though / doubt it. Mamma has often
told US that story. OF course you
didn't know who he was until you got
to the depot"
