CARRIER, Okla, June l5.-(Special)
Seldom is good agricultural land
oil land. Surface geological condi-
tions indicative of one condemns
the other. But, in the CARRIER dis
trict broad fields of golden grain
are being harvested right up against
and in the oil fields. There are
l60-acre farms with a dozen pro-
ducing wells that will yield this
harvest 1000 bushels of wheat. Both
are necessary TO win the war. And
each is dependent upon the other.
The oil field workman must have
bread, and to grow and harvest the
wheat takes oil. There are many
oil tractors pulling the harvesting
machinery. in one field adjoining
CARRIER a tractor is running on the
high grade oil as it comes from the
wells.

Healdton Storage.

In view of the fact that the ted
eral government is asking for all the
oil available, for its war needs, and
is urging increased effort to pro-
duce more oil, it may be an item OF
interest to note that on May Is,
about twenty days ago, there was in
storage in the Healdton field ap-
proximately 100000 barrels OF
crude. Some of the notable hold
ings were at that time as follows:
Carter Oil Company, forty
$1,000 barrel tanks and nine 81 500
barrel tanks; approximately 1882
500 barrels.
Golden Fuel Company, twenty
seven $4,000 barrel tanks; approxi-
mately l,485 900 barrels.
Magnolia, kixty-four 55,OOO-bar-
rel tanks; approximately 3,52OOOO
barrels.
Perce-Fordyce, nine tanks, with
approximately 495,OO0 barrels.
Sinclair-Gulf seventeen tanks with
approximately 935,0OO barrels.
Texas Company, seventeen tanks
with approximately 100000 barrels.
Roxana Petroleum, twenty-four
tanks with approximately l,32O,OOC
barrels.
Numerous smaller holdings will
easily round out the total figures to
or beyond the 1900, ,OOO-barrel esti-
mate.
OF these holdings there is only
one instance in which it can be said
positively that no runs are being
made, and that is the Carter storage
The policy of the Carter company
for some considerable time has been
to hold its oil in the Healdton field
and this company is now building
additional steel storage. Whether
the other holdings are being run as
fast as the demand calls for or not
is a question not easily to be de-
termined by outsiders, but the fact
remains that there is lot of oil in
storage in the Healdton field at a
time when Healdton oil is bringing
a premium above the market, due
to the unprecedented demand by
the government and its allies, as
we'll as by the consuming public.

The TWo-Four Country.

The shallow field in the "a coun-
try Immediately west OF the Fox
field is showing many signs OF in
creased activity. New rigs are go
ing in and new locations are being
made, many of them in sections l3,
"a and Is 2s4w. One of the great
est drawbacks to the development
work in that field is the lack of
roads, which makes the task OF get
ting in machinery or material stu
pendous and expensive. The Big
heart and the Milroy companies
have the most production up to the
present time, and have their storage
nearly full. These companies will
do no more drilling for the present,
waiting on the Magnolia pipe line,
which is to be laid in there as soon
as it can be done. To drill more
wells now would mean building
more storage, at great expense.
Last Monday the Magnolia lost a
machine by fire. The hole was
down to the gas sand, about 25O feet
when some one of the workmen, it
is said, lit a match and ignited the
gas. Six of the men were more or
less seriously burned about the
head. face and arms; one of them,
B. F. Buck. inhaled some of the
flames and is in a very serious con-
dition. Others who were victims
OF the fire are Harry Beal, face, neck
and arms badly burned; Horace
Whitaker, face and arms, quite Sc
rious; ohm Goodwin. face and
hands; Harrison Marsh, arms and
face; Lon Marsh, arms. The in
jured men were taken to Healdton,
and some to Duncan, for treatment.
\ new machine was being moved in
yesterday to the Magnolia location
in section p, where the machine
was burned.
The Plains Oil and Gas Company
in section l3 reached an oil sand at
S9I feet that is expected to make
about 80 barrels. The we'll will be
finished in this sand, and the ma
chine will then be moved and 4 test
made to the 6O0-foot sand.
Boiler & Adams are moving three
machines into section p.
The Texas Company has made 4

Brown < Womack are spudding

of section a.
Skelly & Russell are spudding
about two locations north OF Brown

Skelley & Russell are using gas
from the Magnolia well in getting
their water supply. 4 2-inch pipe
is run close to the bottom OF the
water well and a half-inch gas line
is run inside the Pinch pipe to with
in about II inches OF the bottom.
and the 2-inch Is connected from
the top OF the well TO the reservoir

turned on the water flows in a con-
tinuous stream from the we'll into
the tank. This is called letting"

AUTO HAD HUMBLE BEGINNING
First "Horseless Carriage" Would 30
Regarded With Broad Smile by
the Drivers Of Today.

According to Ernest Saul, French
the history Of the automobile, more
than six centuries ago man endeav-
ored to build a "horseless carriage"
AS early as the thirteenth century
Partisan carriage maker worked upon
it, and while not successful, his ideas
were seized upon by noted scientists
Of the day, and much study was de-
voted to fruitless research into the
mechanical arts for machinery that
would drive 3 vehicle By series Of
works Of clock.
In 1869 a French mechanic. Joseph
Cugnot, succeeded in propelling by
steam a small wooden car Of his own
design, and developed it to point
where 1t drew piece Of artillery
mile In twenty minutes. This car
burned wood and was able to carry
enough fuel to keep 1t In motion for
more than an hour. The unwieldy ma
chine wrecked itself, however, and
CusuOt lOSt uedIl Ill HlS "Oih. n Ac"
years ago France erected statue to
him as the inventor Of the horseless
vehicle.
After the failure Of numerous ex-
periments in England and France
shortly after the appearance Of Cug-
nOt's invention, the horseless vehicle
appeared to have been a perpetual mo-
ton proposition unit! 1890, when new
discoveries in steam machinery direct
ed renewed attention to it. From 1880
to 1880 much progress was made, and
some promising results were obtained.
The invention of the four-cycle gaso-
line engine by the Frenchman, Lenoir.
paved the way for the successful auto
mobile.
