The two companies which have
Jointly laid this line in an effort to
bring relief to the Burkburnett pro-
ducers quicker than could be done
sIngularly have worked under the
greatest OF difficulties When the
line was nearly completed a short
time ago. 1900 feet Of pipe were
washed away by the Red river. How
ever, this was repaired IN record
time.
In the Healdton district It was Inn
possible TO use a pipe laying machine
on account Of the many lines which
had TO be crossed Most Of the pipe
IN that section was laid by hand.
Other companies are rushing pipe
lines to this district and several win
