A Rich Gas Sand

Lone Star Gas Company drilling on
joint acreage with the Healdtpn Pc
troleum Company in section n, 3s-
4w, between Healdton and Loco, has
touched a second gas sand. This
last sand was found at a depth of
1915 feet, and with the drill only
touching it the production is good for
ten to fifteen million feet. The rock
pressure is also probably good for
500 pounds. This is the deepest gas
found in this township. This well
has two gas sands either one of
which will make a pay well. The
same company drilling in section 32.
in the same township has reached
a depth of about 700 feet and is MAX
ing good progress with the drilling.
What will be done with the well in
IT depends upon orders from the com
pany. 1t may be used as a gas well
and 1t might be drilled deeper

This well found the sand at 2,29s

sand at 2,1g2 feet. For some time it
was thought that the Texas Company
would not get we'll, but they kept
drilling and finally struck a sand
with as good production as any in the
field. This dip of about 100 feet is
thought by a number OF people to
be bad sign for the field and that
the dip is an indication that the field
is playing out. But this is probably
not true because the formation in
both wells were the same except for
the dip.

ran the Ford into a ditch about four
feet deep. The car was, overturned,

John also is observant and has re-
corded the fact that Col. Pat ap-

summer months whenever he goes
his rounds instructing the poor
players of the city. So yesterday,
instead of being at all bashful be,

replied to the taunts of the boys by
saying "Mr. Pat Roche and me are

not give away any flicker" to say
nothing CT pouring it out, he found
everybody not guilty and told them to
go on their way rejoicing.

WE WANT OUR SHARE.


The people in some school districts
may not favor an eight mills tax for
the support of their own schools. If
there be such people they may be
surprised to know that while. they
refuse to levy this tax for the support
of their own Schools they are paying
taxes to give schools supported by
an eight mills tax to other communi-
ties. -
This is made apparent if TIME is
taken to study state appropriations
for the support of schools. There is
il the state an appropriation OF
$4,000 for the benefit of schools
N districts where an eight mills levy
is made. The money is given the
schools in these districts in
order to cause the schools to run
sevefrmonths. The law provides that
teachers at salary, of S10o per
month are to be employed in these
schools.
Now every district~in the state in
which is included your district, Mr..
Reader, is contributing to this ap-
preparation because the money comes
from the general state levy. You are
therefore contributing to run schools
in other districts for seven months
and to pay the teachers in these dis
tricts $100-per month, the idea being
to get the best teachers.
So Mr.. Reader this is the kind of
school you are helping support in or
der to benefit the children of people
in other school districts. What are you
doing for the children in your, own
school district? Are you willing to
pay your money in order that the
people in these other districts may
have what you deny your own chill
dren, and your neighbors children?
Selfshness, if nothing else
should cause the people Of this coun
ty to get-into this jackpot and get
what is coming to us. And there is
but one way to do it, and that way is
to levy a special tax of eight mills in
YOUR district. When you have done
this you may employ teacher, one
or more,N at salary of S100, per
month per teacher, and run your
schools for seven months. If your

money gives out the state steps in
and pays the bill.
We are paying, we say, our part
of this appropriation. Are we too
slow, too Indifferent, or too trifling
to get the part which ought to come
back to US.
