er Wells Active.

A shortage of water, plus lost tools
and fish jobs otherwise created, are
giving the operators in the Cement
field plenty to worry about. The re-
suits of the weeks drilling are nil
as far as competitions are concerned.
At that, considerable progress has
been made at some of the holes
test gauge was put on the Cor
ton gasser in $50 yesterday after
noon, demonstrating that the well is
a strong 100000 foot producer, out
of four inch hole BY act of the
city council of Chickasha, the people
here will vote on a franchise pro.
posed by the Gorton company, early
in September The gas for Chicka-
sha is to come from the Gorton No.
iPana eubsc sacnt wells which thu
company feels certain OF bringing in.
Among the Gorton propositions now
drilling is the Betty G in 1868. This
well has seen lot OF trouble on ac-
countcount of a shortage Of water
and the trouble is not entirely elm
mated as yet. They are drilling with
rotary at a depth Of 500 feet
The Gladstone, drilling on the So
nora lease in 31-6-9, has been sue
cessful in mudding in the gas flow
encountered at 1915 feet. This gas
proved to be about 100000 feet.
They will deepen the hole at least
to the Fortuna sand, which is about
234O.
The Gladstone in 3.5-9, in the sub
urbs of Cement, is experiencing trou-
BILE at lepth of 500 feet. They are
fishing for a bit at this time.
The Williams outfit, Which is the
Cement Fields Oil and Gas company,
is shut down in $500 at a depth of
144O feet. This proposition is looking
good, according to the reports of oil
scouts 1t was few feet from this
location that the old well on the
Kunzmuller farm created much ex-
citement several months ago. This
Kunzmuller hole was lost at a depth
of a little more than 1900 feet.
The plight of the Fortuna No. in
6-5-9 is worse than month ago, oil
scouts declare. They have been fish
ing for several week having lost half
q drill stem and the bit in the hole
at a depth of about 21OO feet Scouts
declare that the loss OF the hole is
imminent
In SG-6-10 the Fortuna No. 8 is
making good progress. They have
encountered a minimum of grief up
to date and are plugging away stead
lily at $40 feet
The Fortuna No. in 35-G-10 is un-
dearreaming the 15la inch casing at
a depth of 400 feet.
In 9-4-11, Jones ct al is shut down
on account of a water shortage at a
depth of 21OO feet
The Chandler Creek outfit operat-
ing in TAIL is also shut down for
water at 5000 feet.
In Grady county the Unity compa-
ny is still shut down in 1866 near
the village of Alex. They are 201O
feet deep and are completing arrange
ments to deepen the hole to at least
5000 feet This company also has a
we'll shut down in 1855 at $50 feet.
In northern Grady county the
Area Oil and Gas company is shut
down at 1000 feet in 1898. Their
last formation was in lime and the
prospects are said to be good.

CREDIT MUST be used by the peo-
pie Of the United States if the Fourth
Liberty Loan is to be put across to a
successful finish The raising Of the
colossal sum of six billions is no
child's game. 1t requires the inan-
cial backing Of every man, woman
and child who can possibly rake to-
gether money with which TO purchase
bonds. Fortunately for those who
are without ready money TO purchase
the bonds, provision has been made by
the banks whereby almost unlimited
credit may be secured with which 10
buy them. Every person must sub
scribe for some amount this time.

Milford chronicle., 1918-09-27

THE DECISION of the Ways and
Means Committee to tax all public
officials of any political subdivision
whatever, brings up the important
question as to whether such a tax
would be constitutional. Under a
rule laid down by the U. S. Supreme
Court some rs years ago, it was held
that the State and Federal govern
ment could not tax the activities Of
functions of each other, and the con-
stitution provides that the sal
aries of Supreme Court Justices and
Of the President could not be increas-
ed or diminished during incumbency.
According to an official ruling, a tax
constitutes a reduction of compensa-
tion and under schedules now drawn
by the committee it will cost the Pres
ident $4,000 to hold his office. This
would make President Wilson's sal
ary about equal to that received by
@NSNoNNNAAs WANA ne was IIH5lQEuL.
Again, there is considerable opposi-
tion to the proposition to tax the Off
GERS in the United States Army, it
being argued that their contribution
to the cause is all that fairly could
be asked. With these confusing
technicalities of taxation before them,
the free trade members of the com
mittee still refuse to look to importa-
tiOns for a source Of revenue, altho
we could raise nearly billion dollars
from that source with serious incon-
venience. under duty rates which
would leave as prepared calmly to de-
liberate and establish a postwar pol
icy with respect to our commerce.
This lends added weight to the argu-
me1t that in business and taxes the
Republican party is the party to be
trusted, while the record of that par
ty in effective war legislation Of all
kinds puts to blush the halting and
demoralized efforts OF the bourbon de-
