At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce
held last Thursday afternoon, John
B. Castleman, manager of the Lords
burg Lumber Company, was selected
as secretary of the organization, sue
ceeding George L. Kelly, who is now

Mr.. Castleman is young man and
a live wire. He has been associated
with Chamber Of Commerce activi-
ties at Benson, Ariz., and other
places. He has done much clerical
work and will make an excellent sec
retary for the organization. The only
objection to the work of secretary is
the collection of dues. If the mem
bers will pay up promptly without
solicitation and urge others to do so,
this burden will be lifted from Mr..
Castleman, as he is a busy man and
has accepted the position solely to
help along this good cause.

ing good. Some of the most level
headed business men in Liberal and
adjoining towns as well as the best
ranchmen are taking large blocks of
stock. The fund is nearing the point
when drilling will be commenced. 1t
is the intention Of the compay to
have sufficient money to complete a
we'll before starting so as to make a
thorough test.
Their holdings were mapped first
by E. C.. Warfel Of this city. These
have been passed upon by some of
the best biologists in the United
States, who agree with him in every
particular.
Mr.. Warfel says that the oils found
in these carnations are exceedingly
high grade, testing as high as 48
gravity, anC it is evident that they
have migrated and been filtered up
from heavier deposits below. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Warfel it is recog-
nized fact that on the Coldwater
where the Beaver Oil & Gas Company
expects to drill, there is the best geo.
logical structure in the central part
Of the United States, as the strattas
of rock rise out of the horizontal as
much as 200 feet to every mile and
half. 1t has been examined by
many prominent biologists, among
them HE geologist for the Gypsy
Oil company who located the well on
the Shumway farm, well known as
one of the heaviest producers in the
country.
The bringing in of the Isabel well
should stimulate activity in this field,
as now is the real time for oil devel-
opment.
The Beaver Oil & Gas Company
should be boosted readily by home
people. $4,000 worth of stock has
been sold at Guymon, and the list of
stockholders should convince the
most skeptical that the company is
sound.
