VISITS NEW OIL FIELD

While in Little Rock last
week visiting the legislature
and attending the meeting of
the Arkansas Press Associa-
ton. we were extended an in
vitation to visit the new oil
field at Eldorado in company
with Messrs Fred Alsop, man.
ager of the Arkansas Gazette,
Will Wilke, of Minnesota,
president of the National
Editorial Association, Frank
Henderson, publisher of the
Arkansas Oil and Mineral
News, and other leading
newspaper men.
The party boarded their
pullman in Little Rock at ten
o'clock Saturday night and
arrived at Ell Dorado Sunday
at TOO a. m. We remained
there until $3.50 p. m. and
following are some of the
sights we witnessed:
Even the 'hot dogp mer-
chants, and there are plenty
Of them, were getting ready
to buy stocks and such.
Washington avenue from the
hotel to the depot resembled
the front yard'' of Ringing
Bros circus when it shows in
Little Rock. The street was
lined with ''hot dog" wagons,
and they were doing a thirv-
ing business.
Both the Rock Island and
Missouri Pacific railroads
were getting ready for extern
sive expansion there. The
Rock Island has the initiative
and is laying additional sid
tracks. Space occupied by
the Gay Oil Company, Pierce
Oil Company and Magnolia.
Petroleum Company has been
taken over by the Rock
Island to make room for addi-
tional trackage. The oil COM
panies' buildings, tanks and
such have been moved back
away from the right of way.
A new form of leasing has
sprung up. 1t is front, side
and backyard leasing, but the
leases contain no drilling con-
tracts. Instead, they per-
NIT the lease owners to erect
tents, portable houses or SIM
liar shelters. Within a week
acity will exist there, with
scores of small shelters erect
ed in yards and on vacant lots.
DR.. Frederick Cook, we'll
known for his North Pole adj
ventures, was among the latest
arrivals. DR.. Cook has been
