Use Other Means To
Prevent Waste.

Austin, Tex, July 1s.-The Texas
railroad commission has decided not

shut down oil production in the north
western extension OF the Burkburnett
oil field, but will consider the advisa-
bility Of issuing and adopting other
rules for application in the northwest
extension of that field.
This decision on the part OF the
commission was in the nature Of a
telegram sent to J. L. Mildren, con-
servation agent OF the commission at
Wichita Falls. This is the text of the
telegram
You are advised that the order is
sued by the commission July y which
expired by its own terms Wednesday

will not be permitted by the railroad
commission Of Texas and if any waste
is being permitted you are instructed
TO gather the names and facts and
report with them to this office The
commission is considering the advisa-
bility Of adopting other conservation
rules for application in northwest ex-
tension and when action is taken you

tors are interested in drilling opera
lions under way throughout this sec
ton As yet a large well has not
been brought in. but patience is the
keynote to the situation and the peo-
pie who live in and around Byers be-
lieve this section Of the state has as
much oil as any other section in the
southwest fields.
Byers is a small town that sprung
up over night when it became known
that there was a likelihood Of oil be-
ing found in the vicinity. It is sit
uated at the end Of the Wichita Val
ley railroad. which runs out of WITCH
ita Falls.
big Companies own Land.
Much land in this section is owned
by large oil companies which are
making several deep tests along the
banks Of the Red river. This per-
haps accounts in a small way for the
fact that lease values have not SCARED
as nigh here as in other sections hav-
ing less favorable conditions The
local people have decided that It is
wiser to wait the result of some Of
the deep tests before investing their
own cash in what might eventually
prove a wildcat test
Favorable formations have been en-
countered down to 1000 feet in the
test being sunk by the Producers Oil
company in block 10, Byers brothers
survey, which is situated south of
Byers and east of the Petrolia field
The drill recently passed through a
formation resembling both hard lime
and blue shale.

Southeast Of Byers and near the
Red river, Penn and others have der
rick up on the Douthitt tract The
company hopes to find the same shall

encountered in Jefferson county.
Okla, and possibly the original Pc
troleum sand.
On the Byers brothers tract south
Of Byers, the Byers Brothers Petro-
leum company Of Kansas City, has
made a location and has a derrick

encounter the Ranger sand at a rea-
sonable depth and intends TO drill

SPEAKER CILLETT

KILLED TREATY
Says the World Needs a
/" League of
Nations

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. Is
The Republican obtained an inter
view from Hon. Frederick H. Gillett
speaker of the House, on his holiday
visit in which he declares that the
world needs League of Nations.
81 am sorry the peace treaty was
defeated in the Senate. Although |
favor reservations to the treaty, /
believe the world needs some league
of nations" said Frederick H. Gillett,
speaker of the House of Representa-
tives last evening. Washington sem
timent is to the effect that the coun-
try is inclining to the view of the
irreconcilable senator's who want to
kill the treaty, he said. This tends =
make compromise the harder.
81 hope war with Germany will be
ended by treaty and not by con-
current resolution of Congress. And
[ hope that the treaty will not be
passed on partisan lines" declared
Nh. Gillett. Concerning prospects of
compromises on the treaty, he stated
that he was not certain that the
republic majority under Senator
Lodge would feel justified in deserting
the irreconcilables whose support had
made possible passage of the reser-
vations.
Mr.. Gillett had hoped the demo-
Gratis would accept the reservations
at the last minute. At present the
Washington belief that the country,
is turning to the irreconcilables is en-
trenching them in their wish to kill
the treaty. This does not help the
compromise outlook. Nh. Gillett
pointed out that the Austrian treaty,
which il iilso interviewer with the
league of nations, remains for Senate
action and that this treaty may bring
another long fight in the upper cham
