Ranger. Texas. July THE sun

section. Although there have been
no big producers brought in since
the r s. Harris. producing 100 bar
rels an hour. operations are going
steadily forward and It is believed
that a number Of good wells viii
be brought in within the week
The Harris No. l OF the Magno-

ed down TO $500 barrels daily pro-
duction. Il is thought by the opera
tors that il viii maintain this pro-
duction for some time at least
The Desdemona wells OF the Hum
Bile oil and Refining company are
expected in momentarily. These are
the y. B Ellison No. 1 and the Dick
Grey which is already making see
barrels of oil daily
The G. NJ Grice No. I Of the Texas

ing to Point Beyond
Capacity of Carriers.


wichita Falls. Texas. July In
spitS of the fscs that everything
possible is being done for the relief
of producers in this vicinity, it seems
as though the production will soon
exceed the capacity of the pipe lines
and storage tanks. For the past few
weeks every pipe line in the section
has been increased in order to main
tain q greater capacity than the out
put of the pools. 1t is almost impos-
sible to connect the lines Up with
producers quick enough TO prevent
waste. but even this is being cared
for in the best way possible
I'D to this time there has been very
little waste as compared with the
great output, but should the present
condition continue in the Waggoner
pool there Will no doubt be some Sc
rious losses in the near future.
Although the supply Of crude IS
not in excess of what could be used,
il is very likely that the price viii be
cut by various companies in order
that they may get their oil transport
ed. This outlook is not at all pleas
ing to Independent producers. But
should this cut be necessary. it VIII
be due entirely to local reasons and
not to the fact that the field is pro-
ducins more than can be used
Many recent rains have to some eX-
tent prohibited the gasoline develop
ment. but il is now beginning TO be
developed IN such a way as to indi-
cate that the stock viii be depleted

ton
Fuel oil is steadily increasing in
value II is more than likely that the
price Of fuel oil in this country viii
be affected by the Mexico situation
In Mexico. because Of the great
amount OF salt water mixing with the
oil. the fuel oil is not fCoing to be
the great factor it promised TO be
