 The governor announced yesterday that he did not expect to name anyone as supreme court judge within the next few days, and gave the impression that he had no one in mind.
 Should Governor Hunt appoint a man 10 that office who would accept it would be more a matter of honor than for any assistance the new judge could do to the supreme court in the brief time before the man who is to be elected next Tuesday takes his place on the su- Dreme bench

The commission appointed by Her
bert c. Hoover, National Food Admin
istrator, to determine the cost of pro-
ducing sugar beets in Colorado and u
fair profit on such production, organ
lied by the selection of John C. Bell
of Montrose as chairman. The com

mony of sugar beet growers as to the
cost of growing this crop. The testi-
mony of the manufacture will also

On this testimony the commission

mine what fair profit CT their pro-
duction will be. Further tLon this tho

As Colorado is a leading producer Of
beet sugar, the food administration is
vitally interested in securing The max

tablish fundamental basis for price
agreements between the producer and
rcfiners seems a necessary and hclpful
step toward increased production.

THE COTTON COUNTY OIL AND
GAS CO.
Lamar Bu siness Men Organize Com
pany To Exploit Oklahoma and
Texas Lands in Oil Belt

A company has been organized in
Lamar composed of a number of bus
mess men of our city for the purpose
of drilling on lands located in the oil
belts of Oklahoma and Texas. The
com pany has a paid up capital stock
of $4,000 and will deposit $4,000 in
the Citiznes State Bank Of Lamar as a
development fund to guarantee the
drilling of n number of wells. Each
purchaser of a $50 lot will get war
ranty deed to lot of 400 square feet
in the tract owned by the company in
the famous Cotton County oil fields
and to an interest in 24-acre lease
in the Cotton County oil field aad to
an interest in a 19-acre lease in the
Burkburnett oil field in Texas, and al
so to its share in the wells to be drill
ed by the company, thus giving the
The Lamar register., 1918-02-20

purchaser of shares a three fold chance
to get action on his money.
The company organized with the
following officers: X. ]. McGrath, re-
ceiver of the U. S. land office at La
mar, president; C. w. Cox, proprietor
of Shattuck Produce Co., Shattuck,
Oklahoma, vice-president; L. j. Bor-
ing, cashier of the Citizens State Bank.
Lamar, treasurer; Frank A. Cox, sec
retary of McIlvaine-Cox Realty Co.,
Lamar, secretary; ]. F. McIlvaine,
president of McIlvaine-Cox Realty
Co., manager; C. H. Evans, successful
business man of Lamar, director.
Both tracts of lands which the COM
pany proposes to develop are situated
in well established oil fields and are
surrounded by paying wells on all
sides, and each field is noted for the
very small percentage of dry holes
that have ever been drilled there In
addition purchaser will have absolute
title to a drill site of his own which
he can hold as long as he secs fit at
very small annual tax, or can drill
on at any time and what he gets be-

Coal Rates

Denver, Colo, Feb. 18.-The State
Public Utilities Commission has set
Tuesday, February 26, as the date for
hearing of the application of the rsil-
roads to increase freight rates on coal
10 and Is cents per ton. The case is
of interest to the entire state, mas
much as all railroads in Colorado are
parties to he application and the pro-
posed increases effect all intrastate
movements of coal. The railroads pro-
pose to add 10 cents in each instance
where the freight rate on coal is 10
cents per ton or less and Is cents
where the present rate is more than
rs cents. Tariffs containing the in
creased rates were filed by the carriers
some time ago, but were suspend
ed by order of the Public Utilities
Commission until a hearing upon the
reasonableness of the proposed in
crease could be had 1t is the desire of
the Commission that the hearing on
February 26, which will be held in the
hearing room of the Commission in
the capitol building, Denver, all par
ties at interest, including consumers,
shippers and others, be given the full
est opportunity to be heard.

longs to him alone.
The character of the men back of
the new company is a guarantee that
every investor will get a square deal
for his money, and while all know that
the oil game is more or less of a
gamble, this company offers three
good chances where others offer only
one, and each chance is as sure as a
good field and small rate of failures
can make it. Although the organiza-
.ion of this company has not yet been
fully completed lots are already being
rapidly taken up, and it is a certainty
that large portion Of the lots will
be purchased in Lamar and vicinity.
The deposit of the company at the Cit
liens State Bank will insure the drill
ing Of at least two wells by the com
pany on the sites reserved for that
purpose.
