OIL BOOM STRIKES PRowERs co.
Bristol Citizen Suddenly Finds Riches
Actually Thrust Upon Him
After Trying Hard TO
Avoid II.

The people of Prowers county have
this week first hand glimpse at the
oil boom right before them. One of
our citizens has suddenly jumped into
the millionaire class over night after
vainly trying for months to sell his
interest for u song.
james f. Gordon, who came to Bris-
tol several years ago as a dry land
homesteadcr and after vainly trying
to farm his land disposed of it and
has been running the elevator at Bris-
tol, has been the owner for u number
of years of an so acre tract of land
near Burkburnett, Texas, which he
thought so little of that he has tried
it for a team of horses. Last week
he received several offers from Texas
oil companies for the land and finally
accepted one which provided for S35,-
900 cash payment and 500 per month
until fifty wells are drilled on his land.
Then he is to receive royalty Of one
sixth of production. Twenty-four
hours after accepting this offer Mr..
Gordon received a much better one
from another company, but had al
ready started on his way to Burkbur-
nett.
This is not an isolated case, thousands
just such cases are happening every
day in both the Burkburnett and Okla
homa fields. Also purchasers Of small
amounts in some of the many COM
panies prospecting these fields wake
up some morning to find that the small
amount they have invested has turned
into a golden flood of cash and divi-
dends.

Lamar General Hospital.

That the Lamar General hospital is
of vital interest to the community and
becoming the main topic of discussion
these days is evidenced by the list of
donations in the past few weeks, Civ
en- below.
Since the war has ended and the
Red Cross work is not so needed the
women of the county have turned their
attention to their home institutions
and have centered their work on the
hospital needs-that their efforts and
constant endeavors in this great work
will bring forth good fruit is their
great incentive. If hospital build
ing adequate to the needs of this COM
munity will be the outcome of this
hard work and sacrifice on the part
of the women thruout the county
they will feel well repaid.
The following gifts have been re-
ceived lately:
Rocker-Colorado Women's Club.
81 dresser scarfs and bath towels
Dorcas Society.
Napkins-Mrs. Downer and Mrs. ID.
A. Silver.
143 towels-Catholic Women.
Home canned fruit and linens-Bap-
tist Women.

Flower vase-Miss O'Neil.

% pair pillow cases-Paradox Club.
12 sheets-Sunny Hour Club.
Electric sewing machine Lamar
Young Mems Business Association.
Table linens given by Mrs. F. NJ.
Wilson and Mrs. Paul Denning made
into 30 tray cloths by the p. f. o.
Sisterhood.
And last, but by no means least is
the donation of eggs given by the
Alta Vista Club.
Each member of this club gives two
eggs a week to the hospital, which
seems small gift to the members but
means big thing to the hospital
about eight dozen eggs a week. 1t is
such practical ideas as the above
that keeps the hospital going.

ROAD WORK
County Officials Hope TO BE Able soon
10 Largely Increase Their
Equipment for Effective
Road Improvement.
Road Improvement.

County Commissioners A. p. Knuck-
Iey, j. Il. Rhodes and Fred Williams
and County Clerk l.. NJ Markham
spent several days in Denver last week
inspecting the tractor exhibit and
especially the government army tract
ors and trucks which are to be donat-
ed to the states, it is claimed. If
Colorado gets the allotment which is
now proposed Prowers county will get
one army caterpillar tractor and four
large five-ton trucks. The trucks are
in fine condition and all they will need
will be the change from the ordinary
bed to a self-dumping gravel carrying
bed, which will require an expenditure
Of about five hundred dollars a truck.
With the truck purchased last year
and the two delivered just last month
this will give the county fleet of
seven large trucks and permit the work
Of surfacing our roads to be carried
on much more rapidly than heretofore.
While in Denver they secured an ap-
preparation of $500 from the state fund
to be put with a like amount from the
county and surface the road from the
south line of Third street out to where
the new state road begins.
The state highway inspector was
here recently and approved the new
road constructed by Ford & Filoon but
it has not yet been formally accept
ed by the highway commission and
cannot be opened to the public until
that is done.
The army trucks are of the most ap-
proved and up-to-date style and the
catapillar tractor is of the same type
as the one exhibited here as a tank
during the Victory Loan drive. Lack
Of equipment and lack Of funds have
placed Prowers county for several
years rather far back in the rank Of
counties with regard to the condition
of the highways. but with the new
equipment now purchased and what
the county will get from the goxern-
ment the situation will be rapidly i'm
proved.

PRowERS COUNTY IN LINE
Our People Going to Have all Modern
Conveniences Whatever the
Cost.

Since the whole dang world Is going
"dry" il is becoming very fashionable
to have a still or so around every
town, and the people of this county
arc not going to allow themselves to
be outdone by such villages as Den
yer and Pueblo, where several of these
relief stations have been uncarthed re-
Gently by government inspectors.
Last week after receiving several
hints to the effect that there was en-
tircly too much evidence of hilarity
prevalent among the Mexican popula-
tion of Wiley and vicinity Sheriff
Downing secured the assistance of a
revenue agent and visited the Mexi-
can qparters Of that community. They
found well equipped still being oper-
ated by Norman Roberts, which was
manufacturing a very exhilerating
brand of "bean-o," a Mexican drink
manufactured out Of a combination Of
beans and grains, and doing a flour
ishing business. They destroyed the
apparatus and several gallons Of the
booze and warned all interested
against repeating the experiment.
As long as it is the style, how
ever, it is going to be hard to keep
our people from taking a chance at

Officers Busy.

There have been a number Of small
cases the past week that have kept the
officers Of the city and county busy.
Stealing groceries and other things
from cars at night have become com
mon and there are many complaints,
but the number Of cars parked on the
streets now is so great that it is i'm
possible for the officers to protect them
and the people will have to take extra
precautions.
On last Saturday Pete Schuyler was
parading the streets with a uniform
and decorated with discharge stripe.
He is now minus the uniform and
boarding with Sheriff Downing while
awaiting the action Of the government.
On Monday the sheriff arrested Roy
Woodland at Holly for stealing a ticket
from the railroad station there to a
point in the east.

able conditions from now till harvest,
will be little short of that of previous
years. Acreage reports being receiv
ed by the State Board of Immigration
from county assessors indicate a slight
decrease in the acreage of both oats
and barley compared with that report
ed last year and a small increase in
the acreage of rye.
The assessors reports indicate sub
stantial increase in the acreage of corn
for the state. This crop suffered but
little damage from the frost and is in
good condition at this time in most in
districts. Sugar beets were damaged
considerably and in some cases have
been replantcd, while small portion
of the acreage where beets were killed
by the frost has been replanted to
other crops.
Tender vegetables, field beans and
potatoes were badly damaged by the
frost in some sections and replanting
has already been done in many cases.
Cantapoupes and other melons were
injured and much replanting has re-
suited. 1t is impossible to determine
the extent of the damage from frost
until the results of the replanting can
be determined.
