Former Governor Of Oklahoma to
Send Representative to chiokasha
to Make nvest'gaions, Says
Local Refinery Man.
IF FIELD AS GOOD OS
REPORTS LINE ASSURED
Final Action Expected In Two Weeks
Plans Said TO include Extension
to Other Fields; All Depends
On Investigation.

Operators in the Cement field south
west of this city have had an ear to
the ground for more than two months
because Of the persistent rumors that
the field is to soon be connected with
the outside by pipe line
These rumors, which have in some
cases been checked up and found to
be justified have connected the Mag
noia and Texas companies with the
preliminaries toward building such an
oil pipe line an dit is known that
both companies have had men in the
field lokong over the prospects. 9th
er rumors have Connected local bust
ness mon and capital with such a
project.
Latest Is Haskell.
The latest on the proposed line is
7 that G. N. Haskell. former COVER
nor of Oklahoma and now with ex-
tensiye New York interests is to
build the line connecting the field with
I Chickasha ana extending it to in
cludc other fields in this section of
the mid-continent field
The authority for this statement is
( j. r. Lawhead Of the Walker refinery
here He has just returned from New
( York where lie helda conference with
/ Mr., Haskell on the proposed pipe line
( He states that Mr. Haskell assured
him that the Haskell interests would
1 have representative on the ground
inside Of two weeks and that in the
event the prospects Of the field APP
peared to be at all in keeping with
the reports that had previously reach
ed his office the pipe line would be
built at once.
Chances Promising.
Mr. Haskell was very much inter
led" said Mr. Lawhead lie as
sured me that he had received very
favorable reports from the Cement
field and intimated that there would
he no delay in starting work on the
line in the event his special repre-
sentative returns recommendation
and report that is at all favorable.
IN the event the Haskell interests
take hold Of the proposition, under
stand that there will be no stock for
sale here in connection with it, There
is no question about the availability
Of the cash to handle the pipe line
The entire proposition depends, in my
estimation on the report that Mr..
Haskelrs representative sends back
10 New York after visiting the Ce-
ment field
Field Not Experiment.
1T is my opinion that there is only
one report that the Haskell repre-
sentative can justify make. and that
report is that the production in the
.ield, plus the prospects will justify
pipe line
The Cement field is no longer an
experiment. 1t is a thoroughly prov
IN field with two and possibly three
proven and paying sands. One fea-
,ure about the field s that the wells
after they are brought in stay put
50 to speak That is their production
remains at the maximum There is
10 big flush production for a few day
and then a slump Their production
is steady and that's the kind of oi
wells that are safe and that kind o
wells make field that bring anC
Y keep big oil men.
"lf this Haskell line is built, ii vii
first conenction Chickasha and th'
fiend and it's connection here will d.
great deal toward making Chick
asha the town that will benefit from
the Cement field In my opinion
, prospects here were never as brigh
: and | predict an era of prosperity
here that is Unprecedented
