Humble Oil Company Buys About $780,.

Interest in $50 Acres and VIII Drill
Free of Cost To Other Owners--Ard-
more Hotels Crowded With Investors

Leases ON oil lands in the vicinity
of the Texas Company's new well near
Wilson, it is stated this afternoon,
have brought as high as $1,000 an acre.
Remarkable activity has been going
ON in the buying and selling of acreage
there since the drill struck oil eight
days ago.
The well is flowing now at rate
of 400 to 500 barrels day, at 90 feet
in the sand, and the Texas Company
people said today that they confidently
expect it to be a lOOO.barrel we'll.
one of the biggest buyers of leases
in the new territory is the Humble Oil
Co. made up of Oklahoma and Texas
people. This company, it is stated,
has acquired about a quarter of mil
lion dollars worth of leases since the
new excitement began. 1t is this COM
pany which paid $4,000 for acreage
picked up by rnen working on the new
well when they found they had struck
good Oil
The Humble company has bought
half interest in $50 acres in sections
and 3, 5s, Wv from two to three miles
southeast of the new well for $l05.000,
and announces that it will drill wells
on the leases free of cost to the other
stockholders
c. b. Goddard of Ardmore is heavy
stockholder and one of the directors
in the Humble company.
Among those who have considerable
acreage in the new territory are Wal
ter Critchlow p. c. Dings. c. E. Sykes
and n. B. Feagin
Max Westheimer is the largest indi
vidual holder of acreage in the new
field. He has had large holdings there
since the Healdton field was opened.
He has started one well and intends
to begin drilling others shortly
B. y. Simpson is another Ardmore
man who got into the game early af
ter the Texas Company hit the oil
sand, and he has some good leases.
Jake Hamon is another big holder
of acreage in the vicinity.
There is heavy buying all over four
townships around and including the
one in which the we'll is situated.
As far as six miles from the well,
leases are going at 500 per acre. To
the east, the northeast and the south
east all the acreage is bringing good
prices. about "A square miles of Carter
county land being involved in the new
oil boom thus early
Ardmore hotels are crowded with
outsiders who have come in to grab
off something, and the local men who
went to the Texas fields are coming
back to find out what they have missed
right here at their front doors.
The best thing about the new field
i'm the minds of Ardmore people, is that
most of the acreage is held by local
people. 1t is not. they state, a propo-
sition of the rank outsider" but in
the main a homefolks affair.

PECTED THIS EVENING

Headquarters for delegates to the
DC.D highway convention, which
opens at $50 tomorrow morning at the
high school auditorium, will be main
tanned at the lilks club. The hand
some quarters of this organization have
been donated. This courtesy will add
greatly to the comfort and convenience
of the delegates.
ON account of the chautauqua at
Convention Hall, with morning SEES
sions for children, it was decided to
hold all sessions of the road convention
at the high school, instead of holding
the opening session at Convention Hall
and then adjourning to the high school.
Street decorations are being put up
this afternoon and by the time the
delegation from Colorado and western
points reaches the city this evening
the streets will be gay with the ma.
tional COorS and convention welcomes.
These decorations will remain during
the two days of the convention and for
the welcome to the returning soldiers.
y delegation of Wilson road boosters
will meet the western delegation at the
county line and escort them to Wilson,
from which point they will be piloted
on the road to Ardmore until met by
the Ardmore delegation. The Ardmore
cars will leave the city late in the af-
ternoon, according to present schedule,
and meet the delegates somewhere near

phone the Chamber of Commerce as to
time for leaving the city.
Rooms for Guests Needed
While the regular hotel facilities of
the city are taken up by the exception.
al conditions due to the oil field excite
ment, large number of rooms in
residences are being listed with the
Chamber of Commerce and there will
be ample room, unless the influx of
guests exceeds present estimates. How
ever, people are urged to phone in their
rooms in order that no chances be
taken.
owing to the oil excitement, it is
quite certain that Il demand for rooms
in private homes will continue for sev-
elal weeks, perhaps months, and peo-
pie should stand ready to afford all
possible relief said Secretary Smith
of the Chamber of Commerce today
"A permanent list will be made up and
turned over to the hotels for future
use"

Another Controversy Coming.

Appointment of a subcommittee to do
the actual work of calling and ques'
tioning witnesses was the principal
subject to come up at the meeting. The
general trend to be taken by the investi'
cation also was up for discussion, but
the general expectation was that the
subcommittee would have wide dis
erection in that matter.
Meantime the senate awaited reply
from its request for the complete text
OF the treaty. This request embodied in
q resolution adopted Friday Immediately
was referred to President Wilson by
state department officials and the gen
eral expectation was that Il response
would reach the senate either today or
tomorrow.
Most senators are predicting today
that the request would not be granted
and the same impression was apparent
in state department circles. Whatever
the presidents reply is, it is expected
to start another senate debate on the
wide range of issues involved in the
controversy over the treaty

Hitchcock of Nebraska democrat. said
he hoped the investigation by the

The president said he had felt it was
"highly undesirable officially to com

is still in negotiation and subject to
change" and that anyone who had po-
session of the official English text "has
what he is clearly not entitled to have

This statement by the president

that he would not comply with the re
quest of the senate that the treaty be
