BEAVER OIL & GAS Co.
TO RESUME ACTIVITIES

Secretary J N Maxwell of the Bea-
yer Oil & Gas Company which COM
pany started a test near Guymon,
but which has been shut down for
several months, informed the Demo-
crat the first of the week that ar
rangements were under way to re-
sumo drilling operations, and the
work of making hole would be start
ed soon
1t is likely that by the time the
paper reaches its readers he drill
will be pounding or rotating rather
for the work is to be finished with a
rotary outfit
This test was the object of much
interest as the geology is most fav-
orable and prominent oil men of the
country have pronounced the loca-
ton good.
With the rotary outfit the drill
ers should not be long in determin-
ing whether or not oil is to be found
in the test.

TORNADO VISITS FORBES
RANCH ON CIMARRON
Did Considerable Damage There And
Some Near Hayne and North
East

A slight tornado visited the reg
ion Of the Cimarron river Monday
night and did some damage on the
Forbes ranch. The roof was torn off
the house and the garage was torn
up, the barn was also damaged some
but not as much as the other build
ings. This is the second time in the
past few years that such has hap
pened to the Forbes family.
Mr.. Forbes saw the cyclone COM
ing. AS it struck the river not far
from the ranch house, they could see
the water being drawn up with the
funnel like cloud. Their son, Dorton
had but barely returned from Ar
kalon in the car, and seeing the barn
door open, drove in there instead of
in the garage. It was well as the gar
age was completed wrecked. The
porch on the house was entirely torn
away.
The storm struck several farm
buildings in the neighborhood of the
Forbes ranch, doing considerable
damage. 1t passed through the Con-
dit place near Hayne destroying a
garage.

rier, Mr.. Burns, Mr.. Armstrong, Mr.
Smith and Mr.. Dawson constituted
themselves a refreshment copmittee
and with the help Of their wives

fine cafeteria style. Thus happily
ended the thirty-second annual

SHIP BY MAIL CHEAPER
THAN SHIP BY FREIGHT
Vickers Grain & Seed Company Gets
rs Bushels Broom Corn Seed
Parcel Post

1t is cheaper to ship by parcel post
than to ship by freight. Most people
would consider it a joke if you ask
ed them this question and would
think one was prevaricating in maxi
claim that it is. However, we can
prove it.
One day this week the Vickers
Grain & Seed Company received a
shipment of 25 bushels of broom
corn seed from Ness City by parcel
post. The charges amounted to SIC
per bushel, while the freight charg-
es and parcel post would have
amounted to 80 cents per bushel, or
a saving of 33 cents per bushel.
/. This is a good argument to use
in settling the demands of the rail
roads as to freight rates. If the gov
ernment can ship at such rates and
give quicker and better service
where do the roads get their dope for
wanting higher rates.
The seed shipped to the local firm
is a fine grade of broomcorn seed
and had it been shippd by freight
would hardly have gotten here in
time for spring planting.

HELD WEAT GROWERS
RALLY AT HUGOTON

Cal Burroughs, Col C. H. Ellis,
John x. Smith and the Democrat
man, made trip to Hugoton Satur-
day to attend meeting Of the Stew
ems county Wheat Growers Associa-
ton.
Quite a number were present and
a very interesting meeting was held.
These meetings, aside from put
ting over the program of the Asso-
citation, are proving Of much educa-
tional value to the farmers of the
southwest. For instance, during the
discussion as to what entered into
the production of bushel of wheat
the matter of lost soil fertility was
mentioned as part of the expense.
This gave a new thought to many
farmers, as the matter of lost soil
fertility had never been considered
and although it is very important
item, and should be charged as ex-
penses, for lost soil fertility is ex-
pensive to replace.
While the farmers seemed inter-
ested, there was not as many sigma
lures to the contracts as might be
desired. It is likely that this is be-
cause the proposition is new and
revolutionary, but we believe that in
time the wheat growers will see the
wisdom of such an organization and
will not hesitate. to get back Of It.

USING STANDARD TOOLS
IN THE BUNTING NO. l.
indications Are That Drilling Il In
Progress And Oil Is
Showing

Operations at the Traders Bunting
No. / are shouded in mystery. Just
what is going on within the big der
rick is unknown, as the only glimpse
one gets of any of the paraprernalia
is when a joint of casing is hoisted
in the derrick.
From persons who have visited
the test the past few days we gather
that the standard tools are being
used. There is no longer any doubt
as to the twelve inch casing having
been set, and many think the eight
inch casing has been run into the
hole.
One visitor to the we'll tells us
the walking beam was going up and
down, leading to the belief that drill
ing is proceeding.
The concensus of opinion among
oil men is that the drill is being
sunk into the oil sand and that it
may be but matter Of days or hours
until results will be known. We are
also told that the showing of oil con-
tinues in the slush taken from the
we'll.
While all this is, of course, con-
lecture many persons are watching
every move anxiously and we only
give their opinions which are based
upon indications.
Company officials say nothing,
but wear a pleased demeanor, which
is taken to mean that prospects are
not bad.
There is a rumor afloat that the
we'll is to be shot but it is impossible
to verifyy it or chase it to source.
There is little doubt but what the
showing is to be tested out and
should it be faveSable it is likely
the public will be let in on the re-
suit. Should there not be sufficient
showing to justify calling the well a
producer the rotary will likely be
put into action and the search con-
tinued for a deeper sand which may
be more productive or at least an
other gas well.

LOCAL TALENT TO GIVE
A GOOD PLAY SOON

What is doped out as one of the
best home talent productions ever
presented in Liberal will be given al
the Majestic, April 13 and Ii when
"The Arrival of Kitty" a three act
farce comedy is given under the aus.
pices of st. Andrews Guild of the
Episcopal church directed by Mrs
H. R. Knots.
The cast comprises some of the
best talent in the city and under the
capable direction of Mrs. Knots
there is no doubt but what the play
will be scream.
The story is sort of domestic
mix-up which however terminates
happily as all we'll ordered plays
should and we are told that some Of
the situations are laughable in the
extreme with the emphasis on the
laugh. In other words It is a sort
of side splitting affair which should
not be attended by persons who are
not desirous Of having a good time.
Those who enjoy a crouch are advis-
ed to stay away the play being con-
structed strictly for laughing pur-
poses.

LIBRARY PROPOSITION
CARRIED IN ALL WARDS
King Defeated Hubbard for Police
Judge. "A Good Vote Polled
In All Wards

The city election Tuesday was
fraught with little excitement. But
two mattersof more than passing in
terest was before the voters the matt
ter of voting maintanence for the
library and the contest between Hub
bard and King for the office of po-
lice judge, the only contested office
on the ballot.
Mayor Griffith had no opposition
and the same was true of the other
candidates for council and member
!. of the school board.
- The vote on police judge was as
' follows:
First Ward: Hubbard 73 king 145
Second Ward: Hubbard los; King
205.
Third Ward, Hubbard 80; King
1877.
Total: Hubbard 267; King SIT.
It was expected by many that this
race would be closer. The Hubbard
contingent issued circular Monday
which caused somewhat of a stir, and
on Tuesday morning another circular
appeared, sponsored by the Ameri-
can Legion, of which King is men,
ber. The two circulars caused some
interest and discussion but failed to
create as much interest as would be
imagined, and the day went by with
little hard feeling being stirred up.
The Woman's Club was active in
behalf of the Library proposition and
kept cars on the streets all day. This
proposition carried easily, receiving
a majority in every ward.
The result by wards is as follows:
.l For Against
First Ward: .......-.....158 63
Second Ward: ...........209 107
Third Ward ............155 81
W. v. Griffith was reelected may
or without opposition, as were ]. G.
Bryson and ]. T. Newby, councilmen
from the first and third wards. W.
Il. Vickers is a, new member from
the first. Warren Farmer, W. H.
Feather, Frank G. Boles and Paul
w. Light being elected the members
of the school board, Mr.. Light being
the only new member. R. E. Sum-
mers was elected school treasurer
and c. W. Law city treasurer, both
without opposition.
With the present lineup it is safe
to say that both the city and the
schools will be handled the COM
ing two years and here's hoping we
may use as good Judgment when the
terms are completed as we did this
spring.
