trips from Chicago to New York,
and other points in the north These
trucks are all the way from two to
fifteen tons. The government had
placed the orders before the armis-

was imperative that the trucks be
stored That is the work our compa-

They will not be sold now Some

BLACK LEG
THREATENS
IN COUNTY
Disease Shows Up Among Herds
Of Cattle Over Grady; Many
Vaccinated; Expect to
Control Situation.

Despite the stubborn resistance
that is being offered the epidemic,
the Grady county cattle family is
suffering severe loses as the result
of black leg, which is now Fostering
many of the herds here, so de-
clared J. w. Owens, county farm
agent, today.
No estimate as to the loss during
the past two weeks can be made at
present, Mr. owen stated. Five
hundred head of cattle were vacci-
mated during the past two weeks
and most of these were saved, he
said.
4 expect to vaccinate at least
five hundred head within the COM
ing ten days, after which I expect
we will have the situation well in
hand.
THE herds that are suffering the
greatest loss are the large ones. Up
to date, no pure bred or registered
herds have contracted the epidemic.
Another feature of the situation,
is that the disease is well-scattered
over the county an dis not extreme
ly bad in any one locality" he con-
tinued.

Bottle planting Industry
Boon1sAn1ongNddiesW When
OldRecords are Unearthed

The bottle planting industry
around the Chickasha public schools
was given a big boom this morning
and from reports this afternoon was
being carried on at feverish clip.
The fruits borne from this industry
is satisfaction.
This fact was proved yesterday at
the South school building. A party
of ree-planting children were on the
job. They were replacing a tree
that had succumbed to bag worms,
ct al, with a perfectly good and new
sprout when the official spade graf
ed against some hard substance. In
vestigation proved that it was a bot
tie Inside that bottle was the rea-
son for the bottle-planting activity
that has swept the schools like a
prairie fire since that time.
The contents of the bottle proved
to be a couple of sheets of paper
planted at the roots Of the tree in
1904 by the school children of that
date, superintended by Jonas Cook,
real estate man now, but then prin-
cipal of the school, and Mrs. Allie
Gribble, teacher, who now lives in
Gainesville, Tex.
Old and worn are the sheets, but
the inscriptions thereon are plainly
legible. The caption is "Arbor Day

PETITION CITY
EXTEND WATER
WEST ADDITION

A petition is being circulated by
several residents of the Phillips
Westminster addition, west of the
Frisco railroad, asking that the may
or and council extend the light and
water systems of the city into that
addition.
1t was pointed out by Judge M. e.
Bunnell, one of the circulators, that
the property owners of the Phillips
Westminster addition, have been
paying taxes to the city for the past
ten years; that practically every
property owner is desirous of this
service and that the community in
general is deserving of the accom-
modations asked for. The petition
does not ask for sewerage connec-
tions.

The class planting the tree ana

stated this morning, and at the time
of planting, the intentions Of the
class were to dig the bottle up on

how many completed the grades and

Some of those who signed their
names are now married and only
comparative few live in Chickasha
now. Some of the boys fought in the
world war, some are still in France,
but the fact remains that much sat

the discovery of the bottle. The
document will be sent to Mrs. Crib

Ike statement CT II. c. Cock, mem.
Der of the firm and who is now in
charge of the operations at the we'll
Mr., Cock called here this morn
ing in search of an expert boiler re-
pair man and while on the phone
made in substance the following
statement: "At a depth of 2,2S5 feet
yesterday, we picked up a showing
of oil, 1t was not heavy showing
but it was an oil showing at that.
1t created considerable excitement
and there were about 500 people Wis
tied the well yesterday We are now
shut down with boiler trouble, but
the indications and prospects are en-
couraging"
Mr.. Cook also stated that the town
of Minco is now at work on a good
road from that town to the well.
Just when it will be finished is not
known, but there is some work un-
der way at this time according to
Mr.. Cook.
For a distance of about five miles
out of Pocasset, there is a good road
to the well, but from a point four
miles west and little north Of Po-
casset, the road needs considerable
work, as trip over it will serve to
determine.
Some days ago there was a report
afloat that the Kimberly and Cook
well had been permanently abandon
ed. The statement of Mr. Cook this
morning indicates that this rumor
was unfounded, as he stated they
will continue drilling. Indications
at the we'll are that they intend to
continue. Much coal is on the ground
and more was being hauled out few
days ago.
In the Cement Field.
A Chickasha man who visited the
Cement field yesterday stated this
morning that at the Hill well in 33-
SO there were oil showings on the
slush pit They are drilling and the
indications seem to point to a well
there before many days. They have
the flow Of gas, struck some days
ago, under control It will be saved
and used for fuel purposes. It is
stated that the flow was 100000
feet
The same activity that has marked
the development of the Cement field
for the past month, is still in evi-
dence. Many rigs are nearing COM
pletion and should be drilling this
week. Several new strings of tools
are due to move in this week.
Ben F. Johnson, manager Of the
First National bank building, this
morning verified the statement that
the Gorton company will move their
general offices here. Mr.. Johnson
stated that the Gorton company will
probably take suite on the second
floor and are due to move in this
week.
The Chickasha-Cement pipe line
proposition, according to authorita-
tive information is still in prospect.
Plans are being perfected to build
the loading rack and gathering lines
at Cement, test the production and if
it proves to be as good as is expect
ed the Chickasha-C Cement line will be
constructed. with a refinery as an
added feature

British notifications of German Zep- pelin construction. The discovery ot non-combustible helium gaS-to inflat2 the bags is said to have pointed the way to some radical changes in design. Details of what is contemplated how ever. have not been disclosed.
 Naval experts point out that m both Scaplanc and dirigible develop mcnt one of the most important ele- ments to be considered is that of get = ting efficient power. The Liberty mo tors have, proved highly satisfactory so fan as endurance goes on the trans' Atlantic flight but no means have ycr been evolved to get full benefit or their power. The problem is the same as that encountered with steam tur- pines in surface craft. The efficient engine speed of any gasoline moto" now known iS too high for efficient propeller speed. Connected direct to the engine shafts. the propellers r"- vovc so rapidly that the length and pitch of the blades cannot be set so aS to obtain all of the lifting power the engine could furnish.
 The navy has been working for months with a reduction gear system to go between the engine and the pro- pellcr A Smiilar device has permitted deStroyerS to use turbine engines but it has found difficult task to design a lightweight reduction gear for sea planes or other aircraft. Should this device be worked out, the x C sea planes could be made much more cf- ficicnt and their cruising radius b" greatly increased.
 AS to the Sea-keeping qualities of the x C planes. the experience of tn" NC1- and \ C . indicate to experts that some way must he found to get the plane surface higher out of water. This would save them from batterirC into the sea when riding the surface. A monoplane type flying boat is be ing exuericnced with which may de- velop enough to warrant search in that direction.
 New gasoline motors for fghtc" than air craft have been worked ont and recrved their first test on inc flight of the drigible C-5 from Mont aux P1;r-. lonG Island. to St. Joha'' Newfoundland So well did they fun. ton that decision had been made to attempt at direct flight to Ireland with the C-5 before the ship was blown to sea and wrecked. Another attempt to cross the Atlantic will be made as soon as similar engines can be installed in another aircraft of the "C" type.
 Extensive tests with dirigibeS driven by the motors previously em- ployeh for this service are said to hay" demonstrated that the big gasbagS could not carry enough fuel to insury safe passage across the Atlantic A Pacific coast concern then turned out the engines which went into the co after they had been tested at the Navy Yard gear in a 275-hour continuous run which gave remarkable results ls fuel economy.
