CHLCKASHA
TO LAUNCH
EXCURSION
Retailer and G. of G. to Join
Hands in Making Trip Big
gest Ever Staged in This
Territory.

The Chickasha Trade Excursion,
which was inaugurated by the Retail
Merchants association, and which,
when complete, will be a combination
affair, participated in by that organi
zation and the Chickasha Chamber Of
Commerce, was given a big boost at
the meeting of the retailers in the
C. of C. rooms last night. That it
will be put on is practically assured
now, and there remains only the
working out of the details.
The matter was taken up by the
retailers after the meeting of the
credit men had adjourned. AT the
credit mems meet, plans for the per-
lection of the rate book were sub
mitted and it was decided to have the
book complete to submit at the next
meeting of the organization, which
will be on March 5.
Plans for the Booster excursion
call for a bigger undertaking than
was at first proposed, and if the
present plans are carried out, there
will be a three-day trip in which all
the territory surrounding Chickasha
and will take in portions of all the
adjoining counties Speakers will be
part Of the equipment and will out
line the opportunities in the territory
for increasing business in all towns.
At points where stops are to be made
for lunch or to spend the night, reg
ular get-together banquets will be ar
ranged for in advance The prime
object will be to get acquainted with
the towns and people in the territory
comprising central Southwest Oklaho-
ma.
Final action on the excursion will
be taken Monday night at the meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce
when the proposition will be brought
up before that body, under whose
auspices the affair is to be staged.
A committee from the retailers, COM
posed of R. L. Jones, Olin Brasheare,
B. c. Garvey and J. w Owsley, will
meet with a committee from the c.
of c. to work out the final details and
make all arrangements.

LEASES IN
FIELD SET
HIGH MARK
Extend East Into Grady County;
Scramble Goes On; Locations
In This County Boom
Activity.

1t can hardly be said that the Ce-
ment pool is being extended, at this
time, beyond the Gala Belle on the
east and the Caddo on the west, but
that fact is in no way stopping the
speculation in leases.
The past week has seen most of
the play on the east side, by reason
of the fact that the Gala Belle
hogged the bill. Immediately the
leasers got busy Stuff in the viii
lage of Cement sold readily at $500
an acre and the buyers refused a
hike in the price. From that point,
prices dwindled in proportion to dis
tance, except that in the west the
high figures prevail well beyond the
Caddo in 36-6-10
In the east they are going hog
wild and the scrap for leases has ex-
tended well into Grady county, where
stuff from five to seven miles from
the Gala Belle is selling at from $50
to $50 an acre, and showing an in
crease in price of about S. per acre
each day.
The answer is doubtless the two To-
cations made in Grady county re-
Gently. These are announced as
Haley in 1858, backed by Tulsa peo-
pie, and Lloyd, backed by Kansas
City people, in 1853. Nothing def
mite has been gievn out as to when
operations are to start on these tests.
A great deal of interest is being
shown in the location at the Hill
well in 1863, where they are down
in the neighborhood of the pay. The
contentious of some are that the Hill
well is located in a decided fault
in the structure. The followers of
this theory contend that there are
two distinct structures, one taking in
the town of Cement and extending
southwest, well into township five
range eight The other, they state
starts a little to the northwest OF
Cement and embraces much of town.
ship six, range ten, with the fault
dividing the two.
Others have it that the structure is
not broken, but extends the entire
distance. Both factions, about even
ly divided. are looking to the Hill
well to prove which theory is correct
