"All right, brother It'll be higher

"Hey-wait minute. I'll take it.
This is sample Of the telephone
conversations that are passing
through the local toll office.
About the busiest place in Chick
asha at this time is the toll office,
and the busiest lines in that office
are those connecting this city with
the oil fields.
Deals by the score are being closed
by phone, the calls coming from over
the state and from out of the state.
Texas, Kansas, Missouri are calling
men in the oil fields, land owners
from every section of the field are
sought for leases and the thing is
getting bigger every day, according
to the telephone people.
There are numerous toll lines out
of Chickasha, but all of them lead
ing north, south and east are not as
busy as the lines connecting Chick
asha and Cement.
Here's your Cement party is get
ting to be a by-word with the opera
tors in the local office.

PIPE LINE
PROSPECTS
BOOMING
Progress Made by Boosters Of
Proposition; Operators Show
Inclination to Help
Swing Deal.

Progress is being made on the pro-
posed Chickasha-Cement pipe line, ac
cording to the men who are directly
in touch with the proposition, and
who are winding up the loose ends
of organization, getting ready to "go"
Fl. r. Davidson, an Oklahoma oil
man and who is interested in the
proposition, has returned from Sa-
pulpa and Oklahoma City, where he
conferred with the heads Of some Of
the companies operating in the Ce-
ment pool He has also made ar
rangements to construct a loading
rack at Cement for temporary use,
according to information given out at
The Chamber of Commerce this morn
ing.
While contracts have not been ac-
tually closed for the oil, it is under
stood that verbal agreements have
been made with the Gorton company

Added interest is being shown in
the progress of the pipe line and
Chickasha men who looked unfavora-
bly, upon it in the absence of a re-
finery here, are now throwing in"
with the boosters and state their
readiness to go the limit From ev-
cry angle it appears that the thing
is going over the top in hurry, un-
less plans and indications at this
time blow up entirely.
Also, a refinery bee was heard
buzzing loudly this morning in quar-
ters where oil men congregate, and
was stated that there is what might
be called an inside possibility of the
two being combined. This latter
! phase of the proposition is not fal
enough developed, however, to be
viewed with any degree Of certainty

property l will venture that if
every man would spend a half hour
in his back and front yards, every
tin can with other rubbish could
be ranged from the premises and
piled in the alleys. That's what we
are asking and that's all that we are
asking.
Dan Beets, the street commits

wagons are busy. At this particu-
lar time he will devote his attention
to cleaning up the alleys. He can't
afford to be making return trips
through the alleys. One trip must
suffice. This is the reason we are
asking that the debris be raked and
piled in the alleys and that it be
there in piles early Monday morn

clean town. If it isn't, well the
back yards will remain cluttered up
and unsightly. 1t is strictly up to
