 ganizing. sN
(From Fridays Daily Press)

James Black of the Preston Oil & Gas Company returned last night from trip through eastern Clay county and reported that the well being sunk 12 miles east of Rector and Piggott is reported to be drill- ing at depth of TOO feet. The test is being drilled by Louisiana concern on lease of about 12,OOO acres. Apparently the enterprise is being operated without the assist ance of local capital, being promote ed solely by Louisiana wild cat" interests.
 It is also reported that the citi- zens of Rector are engaged in an effort to create an organization for the purpose of promoting drilling near that town. It is the plan, according to information received here, to capitalize tho company at $75,000 and offer $50.000 worth of it's stock for sale. The organiza- tion at present, we arc told is in 8 tentative form but will be pressed forward to final organization in the near future. Acreage is now being leased for the enterprise.
 Local Company's Operations.
 The Preston Oil & Gas Company drillers were engaged yesterday in pulling the eight-inch casing, pre- paratory to placing the underreamer in opration. The underreaming pro- day and deeper drilling will be re- sumed within a day or so, or just as soon as the hole may be made sufficiently large to permit the low ering of casing.

SMALL CROWD
 PRESENT AT
 MASS MEETINCC
Gathering Was in Nature of Protest Against Assess ments in New Water Dis trict.
(From Fridays Daily Press)

A small number of citizens was present at the court house last night at the mass meeting which was called for the purpose of pro- testing against the assessments of the new water improvement district. Mayor w. C. Middleton was chosen chairman of the gathering. There seemed to be misunderstanding regarding the assessments against the property of the district. Sever al citizens made talks--in opposition to the creation of the new district. W. F. Kirsch, attorney for the new district. explained that all the prop erty inside the corporate limits was included in the three districts, and that the new and much-needed inn provements would suffice for years to come. He said that approxi- mately the total cost of the new system would be something near including new machinery, OUe hCW VIGIL, uSW HCW ISo- ervoirs and the new mains. This cost MT. Kirsch said, would in clude attorneys fee which would not exceed $2,000, and the civil engineers compensation which will not be more than , per cent of the total cost of installing. MT. Kirsch said that the interest which will accrue on this amount during 15 years will be taken care of in the bonds and will add large sum to the principal, totaling, perhaps, $20O,00O.
 A motion was made and seconded to file protest through the courts against the new project. However, the matter was not put to a vote.
 John Mcdonald, water superin- tendent. stated that the water rent had been reduced, effective July 1.
