BIG CROWDS ATTEND SHOW.
Big Crowds Still Visit the Patterson

After the hustle and hustle Of the
Elks Convention, one would think that
the festive spirit would quiet down to
a marked degree, but that is not the

sure of courteous treatment and can
relax and enjoy themselves to their
hearts content, and not be afraid that
they will be confronted with some
sort Of Objectionable performance.

INDIAN POLICE DROVE
OIL MEN FROM WELL
NORTHEAST ARDMORE

Uncle Billie Beard tells an interest
ing story Of the drilling of an oil well
. near Oil Springs northeast of Ardmore
before the white men were allowed to
come into this country. A few New
York people moved oil well machinery
in near the springs where oil is coming
from the earth and drilled a we'll OIL
was found and the Indians who grasped
the idea that oil would cause encroach-
ments of the whites decided in very
quick fashion that they would rather
have their country remain as 1t was
than to have the white man and the oil
wells.
Accordingly the Indian Police were
dispatched to the well and the oil men
were ordered to leave the country. In
those days it did not require very many
minutes for white man to decide what
he would do when orders came from the
Indian Police. Hence there was an i'm
mediate hegira of oil men from the Old
Chickasaw nation.
The well they drilled remained there
open for many years. Travellers in the
early day drew oil from IL to oil their
wagons. Uncle Billie has lowered a
small bucket into this well and drawn
out oil many years before the first we'll
was brought in in the state Of Okla
homa.
From the discovery of that sand until
this good day there has been q belief
that field would be brought in near
these springs.
OIL men have said that It was merely
q question OF time when the pay sand
would be discovered.
For this reason there is much interes.
being manifested in the well of the CO.
operative Oil and Gas Company in Sec
ton 29. 3s-4e which is one mile south OF
the springs where the oil has been run
ming from the earth since before this
country was traversed by white men.
This well is now in good shape, it has
already had nice showing at $50 feet
and the drill Is now below the level of
J 600 feet. 1t is probable that drilling will
! be begun next Monday. If the pipe that
| is being shipped here from Hollis ar
rives without delay the drillers will be
ready by this time. D. NJ. Gay has the
contract and he is ready to start opera
tions when the pipe arrives.
The company owns a good rig and
new set OF tools. Homes for the work.
men have been completed and II It IS
necessary TO drill to that depth the com
pany is equipped to go to the level of
$500 feet.
George o. Parker and his associates
b deserve much credit for the patient
manner in which they have worked.
They have their deal put over now and
there is nothing in the way OF continu-
Gus drilling. There are exceedingly gool
chances that a field will be uncovered
A number OF local people have taken
stock in the company. Others have pur.
chased acreage surrounding the well. II
field is brought in II will be worth
much to this section OF the state. OIL
has been found south OF II at Manns.
vile. other wells northeast near Rotf
have oil, Madill to the southwest has its
field and Heahton and Hewitt are a few
miles to the west.

An unusually mild winter in the

Mr Arnold says.
China's trade will not be material

nor will Chinese credit be affected.
MI. Arnold says. Suggestions have
heen made, Mr.. Arnold says. that the
dredging Of the Grand canal and
other similar public works requiring
large bodies of labor would be the
most effective relief that could be af-
forded, as such relief would safe
guard against the danger of pauper-
izing the population.
1t has also been suggested, Mr.. Ar

THE NAVY

Whether or not the capital ship will
remain mistress of the seas. the fact
Is evident that our seacoasts and pos
sibly inland cities are open to attack
by enemy air fleets and that ships
must be equipped with aircraft at
least equal in force to that of the
enemy. That fleets or cities were not
destroyed by aircraft during the war
is no guarantee in future conflict. 1t
is well, therefore. to look the situa-
tion in the face and in the meantime
keep our air service abreast of the
times. The modern army in action is
admittedly handicapped without an
adequate air force. AS to the Navy,
the opinion of Admiral Jellicoe, as ex-
pressed in his book. 1.-The Crises of the
Naval War" must be recognized when
he says: Air power is regarded by
rience as an essential complement to
sea power. whatever future the air.
ship and aeroplane may have for in
dependent action. . The ad-
vent of aircraft has introduced new
and, at present, only partially ex-
plored problems into naval warfare.
and officers commanding naval forces
will require frequent opportunities of
studying them. They must be worked
out with naval vessels and aircraft
acting in close association.
In view of all the possibilities which
the future holds out. now that the
airship and aeroplane have arrived.
1T is we'll that there should be no
doubt on such matters. for inefficiency
might in conceivable circumstances
spell defeat"

at any previous time. With the war
at an end, students and instructors
fiocked to the college.
The only large benefactors the uni
versity has ever had were w. w.
Corcoran of this city and, John With
ers of Alexandria. Mr.. Corcoran gave
the college the Trinidad estate of 1872
acres, Immediately adjoining the city,
which when sold furnished the nu-
cleus of what is known as the Cor
coran endowment fund.
Sale of Land; New Buildings Erected.
In January. 1873, the trustees were
authorized to sell the college prop
critics on College Hill, as the 14th
street site was known. and to locate
in the heart of the city. In 1884
corner of 18th and H streets north
west, where the Woodward building
now stands.
In 1882 new preparatory school
building was erected on the north
side of H street, between 18th and
was discontinued in 1897, in view Of
the excellent public high school sys-
tenn here, and the building was used
as a part of the University Hospital.
School was established and in the
following year Mr.. Corcoran gave to
the university lot in the rear of
the medical college building, on n
street, with a view to extension of
the property. In 1887 the dental
school was established.
In 1904 Congress restored the non-
UNCONVENTIONAL character of the in
stitution and permitted change in
name. When the college was moved
to the heart Of the city the name had
been changed from Columbian Col
lege to Columbian University. This
latter name was Objectionable be-
cause it frequently became confused
with Columbia University in New

In 1908 conferences had been held
between representatives of the WASH

citation and Columbian University with
view to combining and forming a

Precedence Opinion Stands.

In response to requests made by
the chief Of the bureau of naviga-
tion and the chief of the bureau of
construction and repair written in
October, 1920, asking for a reconsidera-
ton of an opinion Of the judge advocate
general of the Navy fixing the rank and
precedence of line and staff officers Of
the Navy according to the date Of
their respective commissions instead
of date of entry in the Navy, as here
tofore has been the practice in pre-
pairing the Navy register. the judge adj
vocate general rendered an opinion on
December II. 1920, confirming his previ-
Gus opinion Of March 16, 1920. In the re-
quests for reconsideration especial stress
was laid on previous opinions Gncor-
porated in that of March 16, 1920 in
which it was held "in effect that the
act of August 20, 1916, repeals ~
necessary Implication Sec. 1485 of the
Revised Statutes Of the United States,
and that staff officers now take pre-
cedence among themselves and with
officers of the line according to their
respective dates Of commission with
out regard to length of service" In
ending his opinion. Rear Admiral
George r. Clark, judge advocate gen.
eral of the Navy. advises that the
decision as rendered should stand and
be made Immediately effective, in or
der that there may be no further de-
lay on the part of the Navy Depart
ment in conforming to the law" Sec

ion. -.-
