Hughes of this city and r. e. En-
glsh of Cement. Mr.. English is also
head of the English Drilling com
pany, which outfit is to drill the
hole.
Derrick is Completed
The derrick was finished yesterday.
1t is 112 feet in height and a com
bination rotary and standard affair.
The plan is to spud in and drill to
depth of around 1900 feet with a
rotary at which depth the standard
tools will be put in to complete the
well, unless a pay sand is picked up
before reaching that depth In the
event pay is struck before they drill
1900 feet, the sand is to be tested
with standard outfit.
The rotary tools are now in Ce-
ment and arrangements are being
completed to move them to the To-
cation by truck. This work is to start
as soon as possible and the rig
ging up of the machinery will be
made as fast as the tools are deliver
ed on the ground No date for the
spudding in process has been an
nounced, but it is known that they
will hasten the day
Near Rock Creek Test
The location of this test is about
a quarter of a mile from the old
test of the Rock Creek Oil and Gas
company, drilled several years ago
and forced to stop because of a
shortage of capital and inadequate
tools.
The Rock Creek company was fore
ed to stop drilling at 1907 feet, ac-
cording to the log of the well The
last notation on the log of this old
test states that the bit was in gray
lime and shale. ut shows oil again" "
is the notation of the log. At two
other depths, according to the Rock
Creek log, they picked up oil show
ings. The first was at a depth of
S51 feet where they had about five
feet that showed oil. At 920 feet
another showing was encountered
1t continued to a depth of $50 feet
and the logs notation says This
showed considerable oil, dark red
/ OIL"
The reason for the Rock Creek
stopping at 1907 with the bit in a
showing of oil, was explained today
by r. e. Hughes, who is familiar
with the drilling of that test and
who stated that they drilled the
well with Star rig and that wher
they had reached the depth of 1907
feet they could go no deeper be
cause the hole had pinched out OF
them. That is, it had become 81
small that they could not get cas-
ing down any farther.
It was remembered by severa
Chickasha men that during the drill
ing of the Rock Creek well and a
the time it was abandoned, sample
of the sand taken from the bottom
of the hole were on display in sey
eral of the stores here. 1t has a
ways been the belief freely express
ed here, that had it been possible t
+ continue the Rock Creek test, a pa
well would have resulted.

FRANCE TO PAY
LARGE INTEREST on
HER RECENT LOANS

PARIS, Oct. 21-The French
press, commenting on the $780,
600, 900 loan which has just been
made by u syndicate OF American
bankers OF France, endeayors to
reassure the general public which
has been somewhat alarmed at the
rate OF interest. Taking into ac-
count all charges and premiums,
they figure the interest to amount
to 9.42 per cent. 1t is explained
that this rate is by no means un-
reasonable when compared with
the interest charged to both Bel
gium and Switzerland in the re-
cent loans made by America.
The French newspapers say
the American nation, as repre-
sented by its government and con-
gress, has shown itself to be far
more generous than the American
bankers, as no demand has yet
been made for one cent of inter-
est on the state loans advanced
to France by the United States
during the war.

MRS. EDISON TALKS
TO REPuBLICANs

There are many better under
standing voters in Ashland> since
hearing the address given by Mrs.
Edison, the member OF the repnb1
lican national committee Who
spoke at the Chautauqua Pioneer
hall yesterday afternoon, and con-
sequently better citizens, especi-
ally among the women voters to
whom politics has only begun to-
be a vital question since suffrage
has awakened their>deeper inter
ests. Mrs. Edison impressed her
hearers with her extreme earnest
ness in politics. She did not take
up her time with witty stories,
but struck at the heart of the ques-
tions which she is explaining TO
the public and gave a plain, con-
else exposition of the vital politi-
pal questions as they appear to
her.
Previous to the public address
Mrs. Edison was entertained at a
luncheon in the Hotel Austin by
a company Of republican women
Thirty-two sat down at the table
and after the luncheon, Mrs. +. D,
Wagner as toastmaster, introduc-
ed the honor guest. Mrs. Edison
gave most entertaining descrip-
ton of her breakfasting with the
Harding family at their home IN
Marion, Ohio, which she descrlb-
ed as a plain American family,
serving just the sort of a break
fast any of us would. She was
followed by Mrs. II. c. Galley,
Mrs. w. NJ. Policy and Mrs. Louis
Dodge. The latter gave toast
to +. V. Carter, republican candl-
date for representative to the leg
islature. AS it happened. Mr.. Car
ter was taking his luncheon In
the Austin dining room at the
time, and proved that the old adj
age, Listeners never hear any
good of themselves" was not true.
The Ashland candidate was then
besieged by the guests to respond,
which he did by toasting the can
didacy of R. N. Stanfield, for
United States Senator
The luncheon consumed consid-
cradle time, and it was close to 3
O'Clock when the public address
was given in Chautauqua Pioneer
hall. The room was filled, how
ever, with an enthusiastic audi
ence, who listened attentiyely to
the address given by Mrs. Edison.
Mrs. N. G. Bates and Mrs. j. Henry
Provost led in singing some Of the
new campaign songs, which made
a great hit with the Ashland re-
publican boosters

least, her clothes are not, for as
the season advances the tendency
to lop-sidedness is more and more
marked. Nor is this "up-again'
down-again" movement confined
to the skirt hens that would be
described by the rural dressmaker
as hanging awful" The craze
for irregular, spasmodic lines is
shown in draperies. panellings, the

The lawful hanging" hens are
seen in gowns, suits and even in
coats. In dresses the effect is Of

that is set higher upon the body
Of the gown on one side than the
other, and thus makes the skirt
length an inch or so longer on
one side than on another. Fringed
hem finishings, by the way, are a
popular novelty Of the season.
Monkey fur is by far the favored
fringe material, as bead fringes
are too apt ,to be caught by the
shoe and broken. Fringe is not
often seen upon coats, but an ir-
regular hem line is given either
by the natural cut of the garment
or by having the buttons set an
inch or so above the correspond
ing buttonholes.
Panellings are very useful In

"Rev. Jason Lee, father of

It is 80 years ago since Rev, ia
son Lee plloted the Lausanne into
the Columbia river with a cargo
of religion and patriotism. Six
years previous, Mr.. Lee had cross
ed the Rocky mountains and set
tied in the Willamette valley near
Salem. First. he came as a mis-
slonary. The second time he came
as a colonizer to make Oregon
American.
When he returned to the United
States in March of 1898, he carried
a petition to congress signed By
20 Americans and 8 French Can
adams. This petition was pre-
sented to the senate January 2S,
1893. This was the first attempt
ever made to make Oregon Amer
lean.
SO favorably did Mr.. Lee i'm
press congress that through the
secret service fund he received
$4,000 to assist him in making up
his reinforcement company
Crowds thronged to hear this
pioneer missionary from beyond
the Rocky mountains, also to see
the converted Indian who accom-
panied him. At Alton, ILL.,, he
created great enthusiasm. The
next day the Alton Telegraph said:
