also rejected smmarlly a proposal
by the United States that even II

Test North Of Rush Springs Causes
Excitement; Wild Rumors
, AfIoat; Little Informa.
ton ls obtalnahle
SET SIX INCH CASING
is DOPE OVER PHONE
Depth In Only Guess; Forester Well
Looking Good; New Test
South OF Rush has Ro-
tary Derrick Up

Prospects for the opening OF an
oil field in Grady county seemed
bright this morning. according 10
reports received by telephone this
morning from Rush Springs men to
the effect that the Gladys Belle.
drilling on the Hill farm three miles
north OF that town IN section 9-in.1w
had picked up sand.
The reports stated that excite
ment in Rush Springs was running
high and that the street rumors
we're that the drillers had landed n
rich pay sand. some stating that It
was from so to 100 feet thick. There
was a disposition on the part OF the
men giving the information by
phone to discredlt these rather wild
reports. It being the general opinion
that they had simply picked up a
sand and that no one knew what 1t
would be until the casing had been
cemented and the drillers had drill
ed into 1t. This will take from ten
days to two weeks at the earliest.
Company Is Silent.
The men giving this information
we're business men and were in
clined to be conservative in their
statements. They declared that the
officers and workmen of the Gladys
Belle company were giving out alb
solutely no information, leaving to
the speculation Of the oil fans the
status Of the well.
The report stated today they are
running the six and five eights inch
casing, that all day Sunday was
spent in hauling this pipe to the To-
cation and that it was presumed that
they would cement the casing as
quickly as it could be run That oil
showings were to be seen on the
slush pit Saturday, was the state
ment made, but it was the opinion
expressed that these had been mud
ded off as much as possible.
Forester Looking Good
Leases, the informants stated,
were changing hands and were rang
ing in price from SIS to $50 an acre,
according to the distance from the
well. The depth at which the report
ed sand was said to have been
picked up was given at from $500
feet to 2,710 feet.
The reports described the Fores-
ter we'll, just east of Rush Springs
in section 35-4n-7w on the Slayton
farm as looking good The best in
formation obtainable was that this
we'll has had formations checking
favorably with the reported forma-
tions in the Gladys Belle. There was
nothing to indicate at this time that
the Forester we'll had picked up a
sand, however.
New Test to South.
Another test for the Rush Springs
district is to start operations in the
near future there being a rotary
derrick completed in section 29-3n
7w, just east Of the Stover school
house.
1t is stated that the we'll is to be
drilled by man named Nelson, a
contractor from Tulsa and that the
acreage was blocked and the deal
closed for the drilling by HerricA
and Flynn Of Tulsa. 1t is the report
that this we'll is to start drilling as
soon as tools can be moved in. Tht
location is four and a half mile
south of Rush Springs.

A number of striking features are
in the new proposals. The most I'M
portant. is probably that Germany Is
said to offer to make reparations 10
every individual in northern France
for loss or destruction suffered. IL
will offer to rebuild every house
buildlng or factory destroyed, to
clean up and make possible for cuf
tivation each farm or plot of grounf
ruined by trenches or shell holes
All this is to be done with German
labor and materials under Frances s
own supervision.
Anv individual who sustained loss
can. il he wishes, apply direct to the
German government with proofs O
his loss but it is not expected that
he will do so except through his
government.
The second feature of the propos
ais is that Germany offers to take
over the allied debts of America
and apply the same on the repara'
tons account. In order to carry ou'
such a program Germany asks CO.
operation for a large international
loan. ,.
AS security for the loan and debts
which Germany would take over
substituting her. elf for France, Eng
land and belgium as debtor tf
America. Germany is said to contem
pIate offering a monopoly in coffee
sugar, tobacco and possibly othei
stanles in addition to which She
would also yield control of custom
duties.
Not in the proposals, but much
discussed in industrial and financia
circles where the government !.
pressing for it, is a proposition to at
ford American capital an opportun
.ty to take up to, or even more thai
% percent of Germany's industries
To induce the industries to lool
favorably upon such proposition
the government has in view con
cessions to such industries in othe
directions for indemnifying them.
