RED CROSS WORK.
Prowers County Chapter is Doing its
Full Duty in Providing Supplies
for Our Soldier Boys.

The complete report of the ship
ments made by the Prowers County
Chapter American Red Cross is pub
lishcd below and is ample proof of
the fact that the ladies of all sections
Of the county are doing their full
share towards supplying the needs of
the soldier boys abroad and in our
army camps. There are very few
counties the size of Prowers county in
the whole country that can make any
such showing as io represented by
these figures, and the excellence of
the work attested by the fact that not
one piece sent out has ever been re-
turned. The recent work in raising
large sums of money for the various
auxiliaries throughout the county in
cures ample funds to keep up the sup
ply of materials and as the ladies are
even more enthusiastic than ever be-
fore the making Of supplies will in
crease in the coming months.
The complete report to date is as

COUNTY GETS BIG TRUCK
Big Flse-Ton Truck for Prowers
County Arrives and is Turned
Over to Road Department.

The big five ton Republic truck re-
Gently purchased by the county from
the Lamar Motor Sales Co., arrived
last Friday from Denver and was on
exhibit on Main street in Lamar al
that day and attracted large crowds
of visitors at all times. Its dumping
apparatus was given a thorough test
by each crowd of spectators, and il
it works as perfectly while on regular
work as it does while on exhibit there
will never be any fault to find with
it. The county also purchased load
ing machine and the combination will
be used to haul sand and gravel on
the Santa Fe trail to surface it. The
truck can also be used in hauling the
big road grader and in many other
ways it will be useful. 1t is certainly
powerful looking vehicle, and will
haul all that can be loaded on it.
The cost was s5 800, and If it succeeds
in improving the condition of our main
roads il will be worth more than that
amount TO the county each year. There
were many interested persons investi-
eating the big truck and it was the
principal show on Main street fo~ two
days.
In one way it marks an epoch in
the history of the county as all OLD
timers can remember the famous year
when the county commissioners paid
$500 for a road grader in the spring,
and by June the opposition was hold
ing school house meetings to denounce
the extravaganza, and kept !. up night
and day until the November election
when the road grader was buried under
a pile Of adverse votes. And yet for
fifteen years afterwards the only de-
cent roads in the county were those
made by the old road grader.

THINGS YOU OUGHT TO
KNOW ABOUT LAMAR.

Mealology, the little magazine which
The Denver Alfalfa Milling & Pro-
ducts Company send to their eastern
customers, is already doing its Bit
to boost for Lamar. Their last issue
contained a panoroma picture of Main
street and the following article:
Lamar, the place "the Mill Bunch
now call home, is town of 5000 souls,
County Seat of Prowers County. II
boasts Milk Condensary (the larg-
est plant of one of the largest com
panies-the Helvetia-in the country I;
Sugar Factory; the second largest
FIGURING Mill in the State; more than
its fair quota of progressive business
establishments; Broom Corn Fac
tory; and Government Land Office
which during 1917 did the second larg-
est business in the State.
The new home of the General Of
fices of The Denver Alfalfa Milling
& Products Company is one of the
principal "rcmount stations" on the
Santa Fe Trail. According to the esti-
mate of the State Highway Commits
sioner, over 65 900 automobiles crossed
the Arkansas River Bridge in the out
skirts of the town, during the summer
Of 1917 OF this number approx
mately 10000 Containing over 10000
people) were interstate touring cars,

1000 BARRELS IN WALTERS,
OKLAHOMA, GUSHER
Magnolia Has Biggest Well in South
eastern Section in Proven
Territory.
w. A. PALMER,
Correspondent.

oklahoman's Tulsa Bureau, li30 II.
Cheyenne. Phone Usage 1644. Wal
ters, Okla, March 1O.-(Special.)-
The Magnolia Petroleum company,
drilling midway between Walters and
Duncan, in section 22-1-9 west. this
morning, at 2,150 feet, entered an oil
sand with gusher flow that is es-
timated to have a capicity Of 1000
barrels a day.
This is the first gusher of the Wal
ters field, the largest well in south
western Oklahoma, and was drilled in
heretofore unproven territory.
Hundreds Of oil men from over
Oklahoma and Texas visited the well
today.
Open Immense Area
The oil in the Magnolia Petroleum
company's new we'll, according to the
reports of all the scouts, is lighter
than the Douglas oil, which is six
miles west. The well opens up an
immense area, extending production
at least six miles east, but the princi-
pal feature is the finding of a light
oil, disable for refining purposes.
There is oil in the Douglas we'll, but
it was so heavy that it could almost
be loaded with a pitchfork and there
was not much enthusiasm about it.
The well is close to Walters and,
perhaps. will be known as the Wal
ters district 1t is almost on the line
of Stephens county. if, indeed, it is
not over the line in Stephens county.
The Gypsy Oil company, the Texas
Oil company and the Prairie Oil and
Gas company. and all the other big
concerns, are right on the job and
have been sitting up nights waiting
for this test.
Means Much Development.
According to the meager reports
which have been received here over the
phone, it looks as though the well
was an extension Of the Electra pool.
