Warsaw, Aug. 30. - Preparations
are under way for the transfer OF
the Russo Polish armistice negotia-
tions from Minsk to Riga, following
an agreement between the two gov
ernments.
The bolsheviki first offered to con-
tinue the conference at some point
in Esthonia but the foreign minister
finally acceded to Poles suggestion
of Riga. A conference of Russian
and Polish officials will be held at
Brest-Litovsk before the transfer.
A statement by Polish officials de-
scribed another red attempt at an
encircling movement in the Lemberg
sector.
According to the latest informa-
tion, the bolsheviki are organizing in
grand style for an offensive in east
ern Galacia.

OIL STRIKE FOR
SHOOK TEST SAY
SCOUTS REPORTS
Showing on Slushpit; Bailer is
Oily; Cement on Ground to
Shut Off Reported Water
Flow; Extends Activity.

That the test in the southwest of
the southwest of section 1853, Grady
county, known as the Shook well
has reached production and is
well, is the report brought to the
city late Saturday evening and which
has been partially verified today.
One Chickasha man stated this
morning that he visited the well yes
terday, finding that there was some
oil on the slushpit They We're not
running the bailer at that time, but
it gave evidence of having brought
oil from the hole.
About 25 sacks of cement were on
the ground and it Is reported that
they are cementlng the well in an
effort to shut off water that has
broken in. Several weeks will pro
badly elapse before 1t Is definitely
known the extent OF production
there.
Should the Shook well prove to be
even a fair producer, 1t will serve
to extend the Cement field from five
to six miles and will bring assured
production into Grady county This
test, from the standpoint of Chicka
sha interests, has been one of the
most closely watched tests in the
entire Cement field.
Oil men point out that in case
good well is brought in at the Shook
location, it will open up practically
a new field for operations and will
mean new activity over the entire
southern half OF Grady county. The
depth of the well Is around 2400
feet.

BLAWES LEGISLATURE FOR NOT
APPROPRIATING ENOUGH FUNDS
TO PROPERLY RUN INSTITUTION

ure to make sufficient appropria
tions to efficiently operate the insti-
tuition, Supt Dumas said in the let
ter:
Note the criticisms as to
employees. While the report that you
have that we have old and infirm
men Is incorrect, | am frank to say
that we have not the class of EN-
ployees that should be found in an
institution Of this character, How
ever, this should not be a reflection
on the present management or the
former management, but on legis-
lature that failed to make an ade
quate appropriation to pay salaries
to men of ability to take these posi-
ton. Fifty dollars per month is the
limit that we have had for paying
men and | think that you will agree
with me that it is impossible to get
men of the character that shauld be
here for that salary.
Il am glad that citizens noticed
this and trust that when the next
legislature meets and when we shall
use every effort possible to get the
legislature to increase the appropria-
tions, not only for salaries, but for
maintenance, then these citizens
who have noticed the conditions will
rally to our support and will help
us to bring pressure to bear on the
next legislature that this institution
may be operated in a way that the
citizens of this state who support it,
will not only be satisfied, but Will
be able to point to it with pride"

Failure of the Oklahoma legisla-
ture to make sufficient appropria
tions to maintain the institution has
resulted in some inefficiency in the
conduct OF the state training school
for boys at Pauls Valley.
This was indicated in a letter just
received by Thos. j. O'Nelll, Judge
of the juvenile court, from d. G
Dumas, superintendent of the Pauls
Valley institution.
The letter written by Supt
Dumas was in answer to a letter
written by judge O'Neill wherein he
asked for an explanation as to why
Fred Merrell. age IA, a Chickasha
lad, was released from the institu
lion after Judge O'NeiIl had refused
to recommend a parole.
Merrell was arrested several days
ago when he was found in possess
ion of a stolen car in Ft. Worth
IeXaS. he mas Den re-cOmlmtted 10
the training school. In his letter,
Supt. Dumas stated that the lad es-
capped from the school and that no
attempt was made to apprehend him
after it was found that he had a
sufficient number of merits to justi-
fy a parole.
The lads father. the letter states,
conferred with Supt Dumas after
the boy had returned home and
stated that he would give him strict
supervision and report to the school
should his son show any indications
of his former habits.
Appropriations insufficient.
