The greatest achievement in the
Ardmore oil district since the days Of
the blocking Of acreage that resulted
in the discovery of the Healdton pool
is the leasing of almost an entire
township or $4,000 acres in township
south. and west, which is the
township that lies diagonally to the
northwest from the Healdton area.
This acreage was blocked by Roy
NJ. Johnson, who started the activi-
ties which developed Healdton and
he has transferred sall the acreage to
the Healdton Petroleum Company.
Two wells are now drilling on this
acreage, one string of tools are be.
ing moved to a location and several
other locations have been made and
ing with reports of biologists, his
company will make enough money
to pay the national debt out of this
area.
The Healdton Petroleum Company
has made n deal with the Lone Star
Gas Company to develop the acreage
and the wells now drilling are be-
ing drilled by the gas company. The
well in section II, Of the township
named, has already found commercial
gas at 720 feet and the second well
located in section 32 has had several
showngs OF shallow oil and the for
nations are running exactly with the
Healdton field.
Along creek that traverses the
southern portion of these holdings oil

of places. Great ledges of aspha't
are found on this property, and as

crude oil mixed with sand, the vola-

ton II. water well has been drilled

In drawing water Is saturated with oil
and straners are used before the
water is used in the home to elimi-
nate as much of the oil as possible.
Oil showings exactly similar to
these manifested themselves in the
Healdton field and these showings
attracted the attention of Mr.. John
son and the men associated with him
and led to the discovery of that pool
which revolutipnized Ardmore and
the entire south portion of the state
Two distinct antclires which are
exact counterparts of the one at
Healdton. traverse this township and,
from standpoint of geology, there
is not a more favorable place in all
the southwest to uncover an oil pool
Not only does the science of geology
point to the opening of field here,
but the surface showings are all
that could be desired and they point
with even q greater certainty to the
wonderful wealth of this township.
Whether it takes one well or a dozen
wells TO uncover the lake of oil there
is no doubt of its existence. AS the
wells ar drilled subsurface geology
will be utilized in uncovering what
this science knows that will make
moro intelligent drilling.
The Ilealdton Petroleum Company
is fortunate in making this drilling
contract with the Lone Star Gas Conf
rany. This is one of the biggest COM
panies operating in the Mid-Conti'
mont area. II is said to be subsi

Hon. Jake l.. Hamon of this city is
the feature of one of the prettiest
political stories that has ever been
read into the history Of the republi-
can party. Mr.. Hamon in making
his announcement for national COM
mitteeman from this state devoted
much of his space to General Wood,
but during the campaign General
Wood proved himself unworthy OF
such support and threw Mr.. Hamon
down and gave a direct favor to his
opponent.
This aroused all the Irish fighting
strength of the Ardmore man. He
nut his whole soul into his own cam
paign and after that event his oppo-
nent never received another vote, and
Mr. Hamon swept this state as clean
as a western fire sweeps the prairies
of grass.
The moment his own race was won
he turned his attention TO national
politics. He observed Senator Hard
ing struggling along without funds
trying to rut his campaign over for
president. Mr.. Harding made no line
up with the great financiers Of the
country and at a time when he was
closing his offices for lack Of funds
Mr.. Hamon stepped in and financed
him with enough money to maintain
his office until the date of the con
vention.

SCOUTS ARE NOW At

NEAR TURNER FALLS

Forty happy Boy Scouts are in
Camp Turner today having left Ard.
more early this morning for their ten
days camping trip in the beautiful
mountains surrounding Turner Falls.
Arriving there about the noon hour
they had a plunge in the famous
Blue hole" after which they returned
to their camp and under the careful
attention of Mrs. T. Y. Morgan en-
joyed a big dinner
Today was spent in pitching tents,
establishing the camp layout and
otherwise locating themselves for the
ten days of real Scout fun.
Camp Turner is situated in one of
The camp site was donated to the
Boy Scouts by Robert F. Scivally OF
the Turner Park Company, and Camp
Turner is the permanent Scout camp
No more picturesque spot could be
found in the entire state. The camr
is located near the State Highway
and extends in the opposite direction
to a stream of clear water, tn,

Veteran Pipe Line Man

\ Martin Moran, the veteran pipe line
man with the Texas Company, is here
fro mthe Tulsa offices of the com
pany From here he visited the Hewitt
field and passed through Healdton
Fox. Milroy and on to Duncan. While
no statements whatever have been
made it is probable that the Texas
people will extend its pipe lines in
the southern portion of the state. II
has line into Hewitt and into Heald-
ton and it may Suild a line that will
touch all the producing areas that
Mr. Moran is visiting today. these
is no doubt but that this country will
hold the attention of the big com
lpanies for the next ten years and
out of this development will grow
net work of pipe lines and many
big refineries.

At the right time when the "Old
Guard" saw that all efforts TO put
Governor Lowden over would end
in failure Mr.. Hamon marshaled the
forces Of the south and west, threw
them into the Harding column on the
tenth ballot and the convention broke
to Harding and he had enough votes,
and many to spare, to put him over.
During the days of the convention
Mrs. Harding was in Chicago and
she was n guest Of Mrs. Jake L..
Hamon, who is her cousin. There are
family ties and political ties that bind
the two men, and the Ardmore man
will be the biggest man in the com
ing campaign on the republican side,
and if Mr.. Harding is elected it will
result in making Mr.. Hamon the most
powerful political force in the coun'
try outside of the president himself.
Jake L. Hamon is a man of power
full intellectual force, he grasps a
situation quickly and how he knows
so many things and knows so many
men. and yet holds his grasp upon
the details of the biggest oil produc'
ing and railroad business in the en-
tire United States is often wonder
to the men associated with him.
Ardmcre is to be congratulated
that it has in him a citizen, and
| Oklahoma is to be congratulated that
il is the home of the leader of one
! Of the great political parties.

the effect that the Petroleum Produc-
tion Company in its third well on
the f. c. Anderson tract just north

done at once. The company is hope
full that a pay sand will be found.

Good Conservation Work

Art L. Walker, chairman of the
state corporation commission, is an
Ardmore visitor from the capitol. Mr..
Walker made his headquarters in this
city for several months during the
development of the Healdton field and
Ardmore almost claims him as her
citizen. He is here to investigate con-
ditions in the Hewitt field and ex-
presses approval of the manner in
which the field is being handled He
says Oklahoma has never developed
a field where the oil and gas has
been better conserved than at Hewitt,
There has been no shooting Of wells,
there has been no drilling into water
that will flood the producing area
and while the gas wells so far are
few in number yet there has been
absolutely no waste of gas. Mr.
Walker spoke appreciatingly of the
lack of greed among the producer
and commended them for taking q
sensible sane view of development
work and says due to this manner
of development the field will las
ten years longer than it otherwise
would and in the end will produce
twice as much wealth.

Letters From
The People

Editor Times-Recorder:-Will you
be so kind as to allow one little
space in your columns to express the
wishes of 80 per cent Of the people
of Sumter in regard to the lard can
stills in our county. We have got
some very good officers and they are
doing some good work, but when they
get one they carry them up to the
court house and there is a fine put
on them and it is always paid and
they come back home and in "a
hours they are making more of the
stuff and we don't get any protec-
ton at all at the hands of our court
norsat the hands of our law, and just
as long as this is the case we will
be at the mercy of that kind of law
breaking people, and the people want
our court to give all of them sea-
son on our road gang and when that
is done we'll all help the officers to
get rid of the lard can stills But as
it is now, there is no use to catch
one at all for one don't get any pro-
lection from our law at all. The
way to stop a sprout from coming
again is to dig up the stump and you
won't be worried with that one any
more. A small fine is just cheap
license on the traffic if caught and
nothing if not caught, and our Off
GERS can rest assured if that is done
they will get more good help than
they have ever had to run them
down. We won't have to have so
much court and our taxes will be re-
duced and that will help every one
IN our good old county of Sumter.
| We can stop the curse if all join in
the fight by the help of our court,
