Eyes of the oil world are now
turned toward Ration.
Within the next two weeks drilling
machinery will be in the field held
by the Eureka Oil Association. The
Eureka's field begins ten or fifteen
miles south of Ration.
Strung with banners heralding the
coming prospecting, cars of machin-
cry are now on their way TO that
city. The banners proclaim the cars
are carrying Drilling Machinery for
the Ration Oil Field"
Officials of the oil company have
made purchasing trip through Okla
homa oil fields and there obtained the
latest machinery for drilling.
There is no question in the minds
of the company officials but what
the field is rich in pay sand. A geo
logist's report is available on the field.
and expert oil men have been over
the ground. Surface indications are
exceptionally strong.
One of the experts working with
the association declared he is conf
dent some oil will be struck when
the drill is 700 feet down, but be-
low that stage he believes the finest
pay sand now lies The drill OBJ
tanned by the association IS capable
of boring 5000 feet into the ground
The rich Dakota sand is believed to
be 1910 feet below the surface of
the field.

Two of the proposed constitution
al amendments are endorsed, but the
ether two are condemned and will
be kept under hostile fire, with the
hope of bringing about their rejec-
tion by the people. The resolution
on this point is:
That the proposed amendments re-
ferring to the power of the governor
TO determine the budgets of educa-
tional institutions and the reduction
of the Is mill levy be voted down by
the administrative educational offic-
ials Of this state, and that proper
publicity be given to this resolution
to the end that these two amendments
may be understood by the people and
thereby be defeated at the polls"
The proposed amendments endorsed
are the two which lift the two-term
limitation now running against the
county school superintendents and the
state superintendent of public instruc-
tion.
The following endorsement is Civ
en- to Superintendent Conway:
we pledge our faith in our state
superintendent, Mr.. John V. Conway
and heartily endorse his determined,
efforts to improve educational condi-
tions."
