DATE FIXED FOR OPENING OF
TOWN IN HOGCREEK FIELD

Ranger, Tex. Aug. 22.-September
Is IS the date tentatively set for
opening Jakehamon, the town on the
line OF the Hamon & Kell railroad in
the Hogcreek oil field. It is expected
by the contractors that the rails viii
be laid into Jakehamon within so
days after the town is opened and
that trains will then be operated reg
ularly thus supplying transportation
for the field that is growing more
rapidly than any other in the state
and producing about $4,000 barrels
of oil day. Jakehamon is two miles
south Of Hogtown and a mile from
the Duke well, the bringing in of
which a year ago led to development
Of the field there.
