Millions in
 Texas Oil Stocks

"New York is crazy about Texas oil, but something like $30,000,OO0 of New York money has been spent on wildcat propositions in Texas oil, and the best New York brokers have taken to serious scrutiny of Texas oil offers nowadays" is the report brought to Fort Worth by w. H. Vernor, local automobile manufac- turer, after a stay of three weeks in New York, says the Fort Worth Rec ord.
 MT. Vernon has been in the East at work on assembling oil property for a set of New York capitalists who are interested in Texas propositions. He returned Monday. His report con- corning the attitude that New York brokers are holding toward Texas oil, is seconded by the news that he brings that the brokers are working closely with the New York district attorney. The latter official, MT. Vernon states. has representative on the ground here looking into the records of local oil firms.
 "There are millions of New York money ready to be sent to the Texas fields" said Mr. Vernon. "not only for oil, but for other elgitimate pro- positions. Fort Worth is the center of the interest displayed by these men, and legitimate concerns have great prosperity facing them, both

Navy Threatens to Seize California
 Oil Refineries

The navy department has threat ened to seize the oil refineries on the Pacific coast following the refusal of the oil companies to deliver OIL on the navy's terms, according, to a re. cent statement in the Wal! Stree1 Journal, quoting what is said to be an official statement from the Standard |Oil company of California. the Jour nal says the arbitrary policy of the navy in acquiring it's fuel oil supply on the Pacific coast has brought about much opposition on the part of the marketing companies.
 The sense of the Standard or Cal ifornia's statement is shown IS that
 the navy has been communicating
 it's supply of fuel oil at a figure con. siderablv below the market price of the product. The heavy demand for crude oil in the early part of last year led the fuel administration to place restrictions on certain classes of con- sumers and to reuest the marketing
 companies to pav the producers a higher price for the crude in order to increase the output. At the reuest of the administration the marketers
 advanced their purchase prlce to tne
 producer 25 cents a barrel and ad- vanced the selling price only 15 cents barrel, the companies absorbing the difference.
 The navy, continuing it's practice,
 of communicating it's supply of fus oil, now advanced it's price from $ll.os to $1.47 a barrel. In the meantime the companies were assured that :, price from the navy would be fixed and that they would be allowed fair profit. About June 30 the navy
 without notice to the marketing com panies, rendered requisition contracts
 at the reduced figure of 86 cents a
 barrel The oil companies refused
 to make the deliveries at these terms except under force of compulsion
 from the navy. The navy then threat,
 ened immediate seizure not only of
 the products in question, but of the Fplants at which they were manu- lfactured.

after the run the country was con- trolled largely by cattlemen.. Among the most consequential of these was Sam Doxey, who is reported to nave grazed 4O,0OO head of cattle on the |range at one time.
 Picked in Early Days.
 This particular section was picked lin an early day bv foreign commlS.. sion men for getting possession of cattle to which they had no title. P1o- |neers told me of particular Spring in which thousands of calves and yearlings were rounded up and branded by agents of these men. They were gathered from the wide range. The policy of these men
 was that every four-footed animal they put their band on was thelrs. Some killings resulted and some
 wholesale prosecutions.
 Beckman county has another dis
 tinguishing characteristic, not par ticularly to it's credit but interesting
 nevertheless, inasmuch as it illus
 trates what persons in other states
 once thought of Western Oklahoma l.. P. Jones, pioneer here, told me that he knew of but three men living 1 in this part of the country that filed
 originally on homesteads. So it is not a country of oldtimers. It is a country of new blood, country in habited largely by men with confi- dence in the soil. In that connection l I recall how 20 years ago when q man moved to Greer county his neighbors where he moved from told 1 him goodbye with the expectation of hearing eventually that he had starved to death. That fallacy has Ii been disnroved so often that one ] looks with genuine enthusiasm on the nrogress that this mart of Western
 Oklahoma has made.-Fort Wortt l Star Telegram.

and went to the prairies with oil men. Duger secured practically all leases necessary to the Magnolia test. He knows practical geology-the kind 3 geologist speaks of when you can drive him off his technical vein-like the several grades of breakfast food he sells.
 Farmer Gets Excited. /, One farmer who had leased his land became so excited through much cogitation that he hitched up his team and came to town for more stuff to think about. "I am told," he said, "that there is the apex of a structure on my place and that thev expect to get both oil and gas. The oil man that was there pointed out the spot where he will find oil and another spot where he may find gas. I've thought the thing over good deal and concluded not to let him drill where the gas is for it might blow my house away and overcome all my family" He said he had studied the thing great deal and he feared for the safety of the inhabitants of Sayre if the Magnolia finds another gas sand.
 Citizens of Beckham county are no less pleased over oil prospects than over their most excellent crops that are probably the best the country has had in 20 years. Wheat and oats were exceptionally good and the feed crop is the best in all the history of the county, and the acreage is larger. Broomcorn is to make a good yield. but the acreage is about one-third less than informer years, the rest of the acreage going largely into feterita, kaffir and kindred crops. Cotton is practically assured without more rain and the prospect was never better.
 Savre is situated on the North Fork of Red river. the historic stream that was involved in the long controversy between Oklahoma and Texas as to the ownership of Greer county. Across the stream lies original Greer county, where men live that have been under the protection of four flags. At point opposite Savre was vortex of the great lines of human ity that made the "run"into this region when it was opened to settle Iment in 1895. During several years

OIL MONEY LIFTS
 MORTGAGES FROM
 OKLAHOMA FARMS
Despite Lean Crops Western Oklahoma is Experiencing
 Prosperity Boom.
(By w. F. KERRY

Sayre, Okla, Aug. 23-The distri- button of money by oil lease specula- tors over Western Oklahoma has pro- duced wondrous good, whether i'm nortant fields develop or not. A Sayre banker informed me that this money has paid off more mortgages this year than any other agency ir recent years, and the money came during the lean season when there were no field products to sell. By virtue of that distribution there is more money deposited in the local banks in August than ordinarily is deposited at the height of the crop marketing season in the Autumn.
 It has created a veritable boom here, thing these people have not witnessed in many years, thing though which they cherish. A real estate dealer told me that he is add. ing $50 to the price of pieces of town property every thirty days. He said hands in Beckman county during the last five months than in five years previous. New residences are going up as fast as material can be ob- tained and for the first time in 2 good many years there is not a vac ant store house or residence in the town.
 It aN came about by the movements of the Magnolia Petroleum company which ordered the first thorough geo. logical survey made of the county and in pursuance thereto started drilling the first real test for oil ir the tier of Western Oklahoma coun. ties. It came about by exposition o1 the theory that earth stratas carry ing oil incline to the north from the

5000 BARREL GUSHER.

Fort Worth, Texas. Aug. 30.-The Texas Oklahoma Drilling and Devel- opment company brought in it's we'll on the Carruth place Monday. The we'll is making 5000 barrels. Another big we'll in the Desdemona field, com pleted this week, is J. G. Hamme's No. 1 Ayres, four and-a-half miles north of Desdemona, which is mak- ing 1000 barrels.
 The Humble Oil and Refining com pany's No. 3 well on the Ellison tract, is reported to be producing. 2,500 barrels. while the Ellison No. 1, con- pleted in July. and estimated at that time at 5000 barrels, is producing l. 800 barrels.

Wichita Mountain uplift as well as to the south, and this theory pro- voked the question, why is there not oil 20 miles north of that uplift as well as 20 miles south of it?
 Oil Exchanges Everywhere.
 It is not surprising that every little town of Texas within fifty miles of the Ranger, Desdemona or Burkbur- nett pools has one or more oil ex- changes, but I admit that it was somewhat of surprise to find so many towns of Western Oklahoma thus adorned. I found them at Ho- bart, at Mountain View, at Granite, at Mangum and Elk City. At the hotels oil is the chief stuff of con- versation. Even Sentinel and Carter villages of the interior, speak glibly of structures.
 Driving out of Carter toward Sayre I picked up lad of about twelve summers. He asked if I was an oil man and spoke animatedly of location having been made near his fathers farm. I told him I was to look over the prospects at Sayre.
 "Mister," he said, wont you come back this way and tell me all about | ?"
 Sayre has several oil exchanges and there are oil and gas signs on many upper story and side-street windows. Some of the big companies have offices here and the Twin Hill Oil company, which is to drill few miles south, has come in on the ground floor.
 Jumping into oil is not confined tc any class of men or women. You never can tell who the fever will at. tack For instance, Howard Jarvis and his brother George have beer broomcorn buyers for several years They know broomcorn and all the arts of competitive buying. Nov they are obsessed with oil and theil Beckham county oil exchange juts its big sign right out into the pictur. esque view of the Beckham county courthouse. Sides and Sides. real es. tate dealers, who have talked of soils and climate and rainfall and crops till they made the prospective inves tor dizzy, have relegated dirt and in troduced structures.
