RIGHT TO DRILL. UNDER
STATE LEASE SUSTAINED
Supreme Court Dissoiyes Injunction
of Holder of Agricultural
Lease.
Special 10 The World,

cpeciai 70 Inc Morlu,
OKLAHOMA CITY. July 2.--The
supreme court today made clear the
procedure to be followed in any con-
troversy that might result between
a holder Of an agricultural lease and
another with an oil and gas lease in
volving the same tract of land, both
leases having been given by the
pchooi land department. The case
is that OF the Roma Oil company VS..
]. p. Long, and comes from the
Payne county district court. The
judgment of the lower court is re-
Sersed and directlonsls given TO dis
solve a temporary Injunction.
Statutes provide explicitly that the
ktate in giving an agricultural lease
reserves the right to give anoil and
gas lease On the same land. The ag-
ricultural lease only covers the sur
face of the land. In the case cited
Long secured an agricultural lease
and the state afterwards gave an oil
and gas lease to tho Roma OIL COM
pany., IT was difficult to agree what
DANA ges the oil company should pay
Long and the latter went into the
district court and secured a tempo
rary Injunction preventing the oil
J company from drilllng' An appear
was then taken.
Z The high court held that where
parties could not agree as to dam
ages the matter should have been
disposed Of as under section 1900 Of
the revised laws OF 1910, the land
being condemned under the Jaw Of
eminent domain as in railroad rights
of way. Because the state had re-
served the right TO give an oil ana
gas lease and this being known TO the
s lessee Of the agricultural right the
latter had no recourse by Injunction.

this time.

as military necessity. The motion
was carried without opposition, but
