TAX
COLLECTOR
TO RETURN
Be in Chickasha March 2O-23; Half Of
OkIahOmans Not Reported; Heavy
Penalties Liable

Hubert L. Bolen, collector of inter
nal revenue for Oklahoma, estimates
that to date only about one-half OF
the individuals in this state who are
liable for income tax returns for the
year 1917, under the federal income
tax law. have filed their returns, and
in order to render all assistance pos.
sible to the tax payers throughout
the state, he has decided to send his
deputies back into the field until
April 1st, to continue the work of as
sisting the tax payers in making
their income and excess profits tax
returns. On account of the limited
time left before April 1st, however,
these deputies can only visit the
county seat towns.
The collector advises every person
who has not filed his return, to fig
ure up his income received during
1917.
Mr. Bolen has no authority to
grant a further extension after April
1st, in which to file returns. Where
taxpayers do not file their returns
on or before April 1st, the tax due
will be increased fifty per cent anu
in addition the tax payer will be liza
BILE to a specific penalty of not less
than 500 nor more than $1,000. For
making a false or fraudulent return

not exceeding one years imprison-
ment or both, in the discretion of the
court, and one hundred per cent Of

sembled the data secured by the dep
uties while in the field, and as soon
as all returns filed have been check
ed, the deputy collectors will be sent
throughout the state to check up all
who have not filed returns. This
work will be continued until the de.
partment is satisfied that all indi-
vIduals who owe tax to the gov
ernment for the year 1917 have rem
Gered a return to the collector Thu

WILL RUSH
ROADWORK
IN COUNTY
Commissioners to Advertise For Bids on
North and South Road; Over
$4,000 Available

If the plans of the county commits
sioners and the county engineer are
carried out, work will probably be-
gin ON the Rush Springs to Chicka.
sha road next week.
For the work to be done on this
road, which is designated across the
entire county, beginning at the north
ern boundary and passing through
Minco, Pocasset Chickasha and Rush
Springs, about $4,000 is the available
fund.
This money is raised by a direct
tax levy by the county, to meet the
state fund. In other words the coun-
ty raised by taxation something over
$4,000 to which was added a like
amount by the state.
1t is necessary, however, that this
money be spent on a road approved
by the state highway department.
The north and south road across the
county has been named. The work
viii De done under the supervision
OF the state highway department In
order to secure the state aid, it is
necessary for the county commission
ers to designate a special road, the
selection being the road named.
The work must be done by con-
tract or day labor. Calls for bids
will be made within the next few
days as soon as the specifications to-
gether with other preparations are
complete. County Engineer Little
will have charge of the work.
Work on the hill near Ninnekah is
progressing rapidly and should be
completed this week. The money
for this work was raised exclusively
by the county and for that especial
purpose. The funds do not include
any state aid Great improvements
are i'll evidence as this work pro-
crosses.

DaiIer Brings Up Oil Every Trip; Better
Showing Thas Fortuna Had in
Same Sand
BIG GAS PRESSURE
CLEANS GORTON WELL
Waiting on Casing; Hole in Good Shape;
Trouble at Fortuna No. 2; Locations
Made; Leasing Active

Oil men are figuring that where
! there is so much smoke there must
be some fire" Wherefore, they ara
keeping sharp lookout on the loca-
ton Of the Prosperity well on the
Cutshall farm in $3.50 where this
morning the drill struck another
showing Of oil at 2240 feet.
This makes the third showing en-
countered at the Prosperity and the
report Is that 1t is the best showing
to date. Every trip of the bailer
brings to the surface considerable
oil. 1t is estimated that they are
yet some so feet above the Fortuna
sand. The big Fortuna gasser pick
ed up the sand that the Prosperity
Is now in and got a showing of oil,
but not as much as is evidenced in
the latter well. The drill is now sew
eral feet in the sand.
Reports from the Gorton we'll state
that following the drilling of the last
few days, the gas pressure cleaned
the hole of 1900 feet of mud and
slush. The drilling has been stopped
at the Gorton while they await the
arrival Of four inch casing. 1t is
thought the trouble that has been
camping on the trail Of the Gorton
people for many moons has aban.
doned the camp. After they had
dosed the hole with cement they
were able to drill through the trou
Bile and the hole is in good shape at
this time.
The Fortuna N. 2 is experiencing
a forced shutdown because of a lost
bailer in the bottom of the hole.
They are down 1000 feet and in their
present trouble are getting their first
serious setback. The location Is In
6-5-9.
Another run Of rotten luck is in
evidence at the Gladstone No. / 10.
cation In 1868. At a depth of prac.
tically 400 feet, they have lost a
string of tools in the hole. This fact
however will not delay them long,
according to expectations. The drill
ers are confident that within few
days they will be hammering away
again.
The Gladstone company has also
made q location in the suburbs of Ce.
ment. They are now moving in their
timbers and are making rapid prepac
rations toward the construction OF
their derrick on this, their No. 2, as
soon as it is possible to get the rig
up.
In 1868 the !. w. Williams outfit
is hammering away, making good
progress following their futile efforts
to reclaim the old hole of the Okla
homa Star company With the rig
skidded they are rapidly hammering
their way toward production. They
are down a matter of a couple Of
hundred feet.
Locations, tentative and otherwise,
are being made with ever-increasing
frequency. The Submarine company
is very active in the field and are
blocking out their leases. 1t is un'
derstood that they have definitely
decided upon their first location, but
It has not as yet been given out.
Leasing activity is becoming more
pronounced every day. The prices
arc increasing and according to re-
ports the offset stuff is bringing $125
or better, while the leases consider.
