Review OF the Facts.

Where had Jesus and his disci-
piles now come? Whom did he send
to village nearby? What for ?
What were they to say ii objections
were made? How did they carry
out their instructions Why did
Jesus ride the ass colt? What did
the people do? What did they cry
out? What did it all mean? When
Jesus came into the city, what did he
do? Where did he go that night Z
When they were coming back next
morning, what did Jesus see by the
road? What did he do and say /:
What were traders doing in the
temple? What did Jesus do to
them? How did he show he was
right in driving them out? Next
morning what lesson did Jesus draw
from the withered fig tree? What
did the scribes ask him? What did
he ask them? How were they en-
barrassed? Why did he decline to
answer their question.

Lesson Jesus Exercising Kingly
Authority mark 1l:1-33).
Golden Text: "All authority hath
been given unto me in heaven and
on earth" Matt. 2S: :lS.
The Scripture.
Mark Hiss; N-33.
IS. And they come to jerusalem:
and Jesus went into the temple, and
began to cast out them that sold and
bought in the temple, and overthrow
the tables of the moneychangers,
and the seats OF them that sold
doves;
10. And would not suffer that any
man should carry any vessel through
the temple.
Il. And he taught, saying unto
them, Is it not written, My house
shall be called of all nations the
house OF prayer? but ye have made
it den OF thieves.
lS. And the scribes and chief
priests heard it, and sought how
they might destroy him: for they
feared him, because all the people
were astonished at his doctrine.
d. And they come again to e.
rusalem: and as he was walking in
the temple, there come to him the
chief priests, and the scribes, and
the elders,
%. And say unto him. BY what
authority doest thou these things :
and who gave thee this authority to
do these things?
%. And Jesus answered and SAID
unto them, | will ask of you one
question, and answer me, and | will
tell YOU by what authority | do
these things.
80. The baptism OF John, was 1t
from heaven, or OF men? Answer
me.
81. And they reasoned with them
selves, saying, If we shall say. From
heaven; he will say, Why then did
We not believe him.
50. But if We shall say, OF men;
they feared the people: for all men
counted John, that he was prophet
indeed.
So. And they answered and said
unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And
Tesus answering. saith unto them,
Neither do tell YOU by what au-
thority ! do these things.

Deep Drilling in Texas Expensive.

Deep Drilling in Texas Expensive.
The following item by the Tulsa
correspondent in The DAILY Okla
homan gives some idea OF the rela-
tive costs OF drilling oil wells IN
Oklahoma and Texas
at costs money to drill a well IN
the new Ranger district in Eastland
county, Texas. The most cconomi-
cal figures thus far obtained put the
price OF a completed we'll at sos ,OOo.
The drilling contractor gets - loot
and the operator has to furnish the
fuel and water, both OF which are
scarce, or have been scarce, until
recently. That is what is keeping
the average individual producer
away from Ranger. He can go into
the shallow sand district OF Okla
homa and Kansas and drill well ~
Il week and does not lose 4 fortune
if he gets dry hole, But the big
companies, like the Prairie and the
Texas and the Magnolia, with mil
lions of dollars surplus cash in their
strong boxes, can stand the pres
sure and play the game, and they
are doing it.
: The Sparks Oil and Development
company is building a California
rig in the southwest corner OF the
southeast quarter OF the southwest
quarter of section 30 2s2w across
the section line from the Kirk gas
ser in section 81. The hole will be
started l5-nch and the lO-inch will
be carried to the gas sand ii pos
sible.
Fred Chapman, offsetting the IA
bro No. on the south, III section Z
4s3w, has drilled to 500 ieet, con
siderably below the level OF the
Kabro and Watkins sands, and has
not found production. Mr.. Chap
man states he will continue drilling
as far as he can go with the casing
he is carrying.
The Milroy Petroleum company
has spudded No, ) on the lease N
section "a 2s4w. Nos. :, 3 and 4
are now on pump. No. is flowing
natural about Is barrels daily. 1t
is intended to go to the l,lOO-foot
sand with No. ;.
The Bigheart No. g. in section IS
2s4w, had a gas sand at 100 feet
estimated al 100000 cubic feet; at
200 feet another gas sand was en-
countered, producing 4,OOO,0OO cubic
feet, and at $40 feet still another
gas sand was found that is estimated
to produce 100000 cubic feet. The
last Two sands have been braden-
headed and will be conserved for iu-
ture use. At 4S7 feet an oil sand
was found and drilled into to a
depth of IS feet The estimated
production from this sand is $50
barrels or better. If this well is as
good as it is reported, it is probably
the best shallow well in the mid
continent field.
The Mckinney Oil and Refining |
company, in section SO ls6W, has the
derrick up and is rigging.
The Rock Falls, section Il ln8w
Is a rig.
The Mutual, in section 20 lsSw
is drilling below 1000 feet.
The Wauran in section % ls9W
is drilling below zoo feet.
The Glen Rose company, which |
took over the old Big Anticline hole !
in section 81 2n4w, is drilling below
2.215 feet in red beds.
