Berlin, Oct, 1.-THE allies have
proposed an international blockade
against SOVIET Russia.
The suggestion was made to Ger
many today in note which was al
SO addressed to Austria and neutral
countries. This note followed one in
which the attitude of the allies on
the Baltic situation was outlined.
The presence cf the troops of Won
Der Goitz was also touched upon.
Germany is expected to decline to
take action on the ground that an
international blockade would mean
starvation and would be as much
against the anti-bolsheviki as against
the Reds themselves.

PERTS TURN TRICK WELL DRILLING WITH FEW
HOURS TO SPARE; LEASING ACTIVE

The United American Oil and Gas
company spudded in its No. 1 well
yesterday afternoon on the J. p.
Thomas farm in sec. 1926, mile
and "a half south Of Tuttle.
That is the bare statement of
facts, but behind that statement is
story of achievement that is pro
badly not parallelled in the history
Of the oil business in this district.
H's a story of fight against time
and with the weather lined up sol.
idly against the operators Just how
they pulled the actual starting of the
well in the designated time, might
recall to old showmen, the days
when circuses trave'ed overland and
took dire chances Of playing their
dates on time.
Time Expired Yesterday
The company holds $1,000 acres
of leases in the Tuttle district. Ac-
cording to their contract, it was i'm
peratiye that they spud in by mid
night last night. If they failed. they
not only lost the leases, but forfeited
$4,000 in real money
On October 4, caravan Of nine
automobile trucks pulled out Of
Burkburnett, bound for Tuttle. on
those trucks was the rotary rig and
necessary tools to drill the wen. 1t
became known that there would be
difficulty in securing the proner
kind of rig timbers at Tuttle, after
the start was made. Also, shortly
after the truck train left Burkbur-
nett, j. Rluvius turned on the sprink-
ling cant and for days it rained
The roads became bottomless mud
holes and the trucks floundered
along, or were stuck up to their
bodies in the ooze.
Charter Special Train ~
On last Wednesday, October s the
truck train was six miles out of
Walters with but a woefully few
days in Which to start operations.
AT Walters, additional trucks were
added to the caravan. On them was
loaded the lumber for the rig.
Ii being imDOssible TO nroceed
overland with the heavy trucks,
special train was chartered at Wal
ters. A string of flat cars was back
ed onto a siding and the crew of the
truck caravan became for the mo-
mont the transportation department

drillers and mechanics brought from
Burkburnett. Those who saw the
construction of the derrick, state
that the feat was nothing short of
marvellous and it is believed that
the erection Of the 96 foot rotary rig
stands as a time record. They made
1t by the skin Of their teeth and
spudded in cnly few hours from
the hour on which they would have
forfeited all contracts. AT midnight
last night, the time of forfeiture,
they had drilled III feet or more

Leasing Reported Active
Leasing Is reported to be active
around the territory today, though
no quotations have been made pub
lic
The company Is under contract to
drill 5000 feet, unless oil or gas Is
found in paying quantities at less
er depth. Adding to the interest in
that locality, is the fact that some
months ago, a freak" oil was re-
ported at Tuttle- These reports
stated that at a depth of So feet,
while drilling water well, a very
high grade of oil was discovered.
The quantity was small, however
being only a few gallons day.
Some doubted the rumor, stating
that the entire affair was a hoax,
while others declared the oil was
actually found as reported
