POLICE JURY DECLINED
BIDS.

The bonds offered to the pub.
lie for the construction of model
gravel roads in Wards One
Three. Five, Six and Eight BY
the Police Jury were not sold
last Wednesday, as was expec'
ted. When the bids were opened
by Secretary Basin, during the
open meeting, there were GER
tain conditions attached to the
proposals by the buyers that
the members Of the Jury decided
to take the sale under advisemen'
and they will not act officially
upon them until the next meet
ing Of the Jury on Sept. LIST.
Two bids were handed IN one
from our fellOw-citizen, Mr.. H.
5. Sealy and the other from the
firm of w. L. Slayton 4 Co. Of
Toledo, Ohio. They were drawn
up with certain stipulations that
the Jury neither declined, nor
accepted them, preferring to
wait until they could study the
propositions more closely, 50 as
iO protect the Parish and realize
q much AZ possible for their
sale. This, was correct and
proper. The bond market is
daily getting stronger and it
may be that much more can be
realized for the bonds at the next
meeting on Sept. LIST.
The entire day of the Police
Jury was taken up discussing
road matters on Tuesday. In
fact the special meeting was
called for that purpose. Another
matter that was Strengthened
out was the httle controversy
between the Weeks Island Salt
Co. representatives and the Jury
with reference to building q

Avoid Diphtheria

A sore throat is a good breeding place for
Diphtheria germs. Protect your children
by never. .neglecting Sore Throat. You can
wisely depend upon TONSILINE. Give
Tonsiline upon the first appearance of Sore
Throat don't give Diphtheria chance
in that throat in its weakened condition.
When TONSILINlE is swallowed it comes
directly in contact with the diseased sur
face and induces healthy con- ~

system can better defend the throat
if attacked by Diphtheria germs. I'd

the Community church OF Sand
Springs, and member OF the board
Of trustees OF the University OF Tulsa
says that at the meeting OF the
trustees yesterday, the subject Of
the enlargement of the geological
course was brought up and the IL
brary feature was discussed. and II
was pointed out that Tulsa. being
at tho center OF the oil industry,
ought to take the lead and furnish
a course of study that would attract
Students from all parts OF the world.
It is here In Tulsa that there is al
ways an opportunity to study the
practical side OF geology and petro-
leum engineering, and there ia the
largest association OF geologists and
petroleum and mining engineers in
Tulsa OF any city in the United states
and for these reasons it is being
planned to have Tulsa University the
largest and most complete authorita-
tive library on geology in the entire
southwest.
DR.. Foster, head of the geological
department of the university, now
has large and enthusiastic class o!
students. who are doing much inter-

Smith Separator in
Practical Use at Brist0D

The Continental pool at Bristow
has proven where large oil wells
with great volume OF gas are en-
countered that they can be handled
with safety and without loss of oil
Wells on the Bradstreet q Lewis
lease, on the Mcintosh farm, flowed
s 500 barrels per day with 10000
600 feet of gas.
OUTPUT Of these two wells was
handled through a Smith OIL n
Gas separator, making a good sep.
aration of oil and gas. The oil
flowed from the separator 10 stocN
tanks and the gas was conveyed TO
a distant point where 1t was burned
with safety.
All new wells in this pool are
using these Smith separators. The
Continental Petroleum company il
using two. waite Phillips and the
Phillips Petroleum company two.
Gypsy oil company one, and Tidal
oil company one. In talking with
producers, the writer has heard that
'he use OF the Smith separator In
this field has given 1t the hardest
test possible and tho smith sepn-
rator has demonstrated tts fleMoil-
ity to handle either large or small

large wells Of this pool was turned
into an ordinary steel flow tank
and I'm a short time the roof was
