The new townsite Of Wilson had
been selected three miles west and to
this many Of the buildings were

their abode there
But that too. is history Only a
few weeks ago the Texas company's
well on the Smith property came in
as a large gusher with oil shooting
over the derrick every few minutes
Wilson. with all Of its new found
growth, disappeared over night again
HeWett had come into its own
oil operators rushed to the field
and took I'D leases and options on
every acre Of ground in the vicinity of
the new well Buildings were moved
back to Hewett and many others were
constructed. New hotels are going up
and many new residences can be seen
n every section of town
The entire townsite IS now the cen

and drilling Contracts have been
made for many more, which viii be
