That some organization set of men
OF officials in Chickasha are asleep
on the job and are allowing the big
gest thing that ever came here to

ed by oil men of which variety the
country now abounds These men
state that they are basing their opin-

own eyes and their prediction that
Chickasha will suffer if something
is not done today. not tomorrow, is
guaged by what they have seen in

To Be Big Field,
w. B. Finn, manager OF The Paraiin
Oil company of Beaumont Tex has
stated that in his opinion made al
ter careful Investigation backed by
information gained by years of expo
rlence, and after having had geQlo'
gists reports, an oil field reaching
from Chickasha, south to the Red
river will be opened up. His opin'
ion included the land west of Chick
asha through Caddo county, taking
in the Cement field. This opinion
was backed up by Mr. McMullen Of
Tulsa who has recently bought hcay.
ily Of leases in Cotton county
An oil man OF this city, who prob
ably knows more big oil operators
than anyone in Grady county, states
that it is the common talk among
the big oil men, that they are sur
prised to see that apparently Chick
asha is doing nothing to secure the
enormous business that will surely
be derived from the development OF
the fields to the west, south and
southwest.
"They go further than that said
the informant. "They state that
Chickasha has the opportunity Of be
coming the second Tulsa Of Oklaho'
ma. | have heard the prediction
more than once that the field to the
south and southwest of Chickasha is
destined to be a bigger one than the
Cushing field.
Want TO Live Here,
"Oll men want to live in Chirka-
sha. They cannot get accommoda-
tions in Cement, yet their business
demands their presence there. They
would live in Chickasha If there was
suitable road over which they could
get to and from the field. one Of
the biggest operators now in the &c.
ment field told me that he would
live in Chickasha instead of Anadar-
ko. if he could get over the roads.
But as 1t is, he boards in Cement
and his family lives in Ardmore.
Another man operating in the Ce-
rlent field said to me, We make big
money and we have 10 more sense
than to spend it. Chickasha could
get our money just as readily as any
other town if we could only get to
Chickasha.
