PUTS ARDMORE
ON STATE ROAD

Reports by the road mappers who
recently visited Ardmore on their
tour OF the southwestern part OF the
state, make certain the placing OF
Ardmore on a highway authorized
bv the Oklahoma Good Roads Asso-
citation. An abstract OF the report
follows;
Two routes for the state road
through Oklahoma, connecting with
the Colorado to Gull highway, were
laid out by r. A. Singletary, manager
of Oklahoma Good Roads assocla-
ton. on a trip through the southern
part OF the state. He was accom-
panied BY Leroy NJ. Gibbs, secretary
Of the Oklahoma City chamber OF
commerce, and w. F. Hearne, Man
gum. vice president OF the Ozark
Trails association.
One road, as outlined by Mr.. Sin
gletary. leads through Norman, Pur-
cell. Wynnewood, Davis, Sulphur,
Berwvn, Ardmore and Marietta,
crossing the Red river between Ma
rietta and Gainesville, From Gaines
Vile it follows the Santa Fe rail
road to Fort Worth, a distance OF
about POS miles. This distance can
be shortened approximately fifty
miles by building the road from Ard
more through Davis over the Ar
buckle mountains, thus making 4
very effective scenic route. From
Gainesville the road possibly will be
located by way Of Denton. Texas,
provided Denton county will organ
ize TO help in its construction,
"On our return trip said Mr..
Singletary, in his report, eve trav-
elcd from Fort Worth to Bowie,
Texas. over the Colorado and Gulf
highway. which follows the Fort
Worth and Denver railroad from Fl.
Worth to this point At Bowie we
left the Colorado and Gulf and fol-
lowed the Rock Island railroad. We
crossed the Red River at Terrell,
Okla, over a splendid suspension
bridge. then north to Ryan, Waur
ika, Addington, Duncan, NARROW.
Rush Springs, Chickasha, through
into Oklahoma City. This
route comprises 243.l miles.
I'VE will now seek to get the
towns to organize and cooperate
with us and if We find them respons-
i've we will decide upon the route and
expect to have the Kansas. Oklaho-
ma and Texas trail finished and
marked in time to take care of the
tourists in the spring"

Coline Defendant In
Suit For Accounting

Simeon Hicks. ct al. have filed suit
in the district court against the Co.
line Oil Company J. X. Cottingham.
J. s. Mullen and W. f. Hodges. ask
ing for a decree declaring the plain
lifts the owners of 1900 OF lands in
sections 10 and Il, township ; south.
range ? west, quoting title in them
thereto, an accounting for the use OF
OF said land and the oil and gas OBJ
tained thereon. for the appointment
OF receiver of said land and iudg-
ment for $4,000 damages.
The plaintiffs allege in their peti-
ton that they are the owners of 40
90 of said land, inheriting it from
Robert Choate, a Choctaw Indian.
whose allotment the said land was;
that the defendants hold possession
OF the land and have failed and re-
fused to account to the plaintiffs for
their interest in the rents and profits
arising therefrom; that the defend
ants have drilled many oil and gas
wells on the said land and have new
er accounted to them for their por-
ton thereof.

p. Harrison. General van Zandt is
sued the following order:
"ln compliance with the request
Of General George p. Harrison, gem
eral commanding United Confeder-
ate Veterans, and in conformity with
the constitution of the association,
| hereby assume command of the
federation during the temporary i'll
ness OF the commander.
The lieutenant general command
ing expresses the earnest hope
shared by every Confederate veter-
an, that the commander may be re-
stored to his usual health and his
useful life spared for many years"
General X. A. Sneed, commander
of the Chickasaw brigade, today
called the veterans together in the
first general session OF their re-
union. Welcoming speeches were
made by Tate Brady OF Tulsa, chair
man of the reunion committee, Rob
ert Y. McFarlin. president OF the
Tulsa chamber OF commerce, and
Albert {. Hunt. commander of the
local camp OF the Sons oi Veterans.

the speech OF welcome at the open
ing OF the sessions OF the sons or
garization last night, spoke again
at today's meeting. as did Governor
Brough OF Arkansas, who spoke in
the place of United States Senator
Robert J.. Owen, who was unable
to come from Washington.
Much interest is developing in the
parade OF veterans which always is
an important feature OF the reunions
and which will be held Friday. While
the line OF march will be shortened
to accord with the age Of the prin-
cipal participants, the veterans are
eager for the march, and none will
admit his inability or unwillingness
TO stay in line as long as his neigh
Dor.
Tate Brady. general chairman of
the local committee, reported today
that the total number OF visitors who
were here was more than $4,000 and
said the attendance was the largest
of anv reunion in late years.

Vacuum in the Healdton Field.

In regard TO vacuum plants in the
Healdton field there appears to be a
preponderance Of opinion among the oil
men adverse to the use of vacuum
Dumps. The objections may be outlined
in the terms of one prominent oi. man
interviewed. and expressed as follows;
Il have tried to picture the Healdton
field with % points of vacuum, and with
the volume of water there is in some
parts Of the field, and the access it has
to the oil sand. together with the soft
ness of the sands, as in great many
places some of the wells being shot with
as high as 400 quarts Of glycerine, which
I'm itself seems very impractical to me,
/ can see the running expenses of the
individual companies increased enor-
mously; besides the various companies
being unable to get labor and material
to keep up the extra york of cleaning
out wells, pulling tubing, etc, for evi-
denly this soft sand would cause these
pockets to fill up from the effects of
the vacuum.
81 have known of cases in the eastern
oil fields, in natural oil producing terri
tory. where the vacuum helped the pro-
uuGuOll lOI SOIllt Illllt Allll' pei lt'l''
thirty days. Then if the vacuum is to
be released in order TO produce the oil
natural from the same territory, it will
in some cases be almost thirty days be.
fore the production will be back to nor
ma!
"Now. to go back to the Healdton
field-by the use Of vacuum we may in
crease the richness Of the gas, and the
volume OF gas. and also the production
of oil until the wells would begin giving
trouble which / believe would immed
ately follow l would say that to throw
vacuum on the Healdton field at this
time would be an experiment that might
prove very detrimoneta! to the interests
of the government needs at this critical
time. Hence / believe we might be ex-
perimentng with one OF the most val
liable assets Of the state of Oklahoma,
which the Healdton field is today
q candidly believe that the life of the
Healdton field would be cut in two by
the use Of the vacuum, unless there
should be some means devised to care
for the water; and this ] believe is an
absolute impossib.Hty i'm some parts of
the field, except by constant pump.
ing"
As TO the necessity Of conserving oi!
for fuel there is gas enough piped into
that field now, through the lines Of the
Lone star Gas Co. the Sinclair and the
Carter companies TO supply the field
with fuel for drilling, cleaning out, etc.
providing the supply of dry gas from
the casinghead plants would be INSULT

member OF the chamber OF deputies,
Snterpolated the government today
ms 10 the existence OF concession
covering $4,000 acres OF petroleum
land in Algeria to Lord Murray and
the Pearson group. This is a ques-
iion which has caused a large
amount OF public discussion.
Louis Loucheur, minister OF mu-

was in no way under obligation to
The group and that he had informed
