OIL WELL NEWS
Nee No.She Well Looks Very Promis-
ing Just Now.

The operations at the Nee-No- She
Co. drilling sight fourteen miles north
east of Lamar have been badly inter
rupted by unfortunate accidents, but
gre now under way again. Another
attempt to get the hole drilled SO that
the water can be shut out and it can
be determined just what they have, is
now being made and it is hoped it will
be successful. That there is oil there
no one that has visited the well can
doubt, but the quantity is the import
ant point to be decided. In spite of
an eighty foot cave-in and the humid
reds of feet Of water above the oil
is forcing its way through and run
ming slowly into the slush pit. The
sand where it is found is known to be
of considerable depth and it is hop
ed by the promoters that when the
drilling is completed and the casing
set the flow will be sufficient to make
a paying well and start real oil de
velopment in this section.

Sanity and Progress

The president of the Guaranty Trus'
Company of New York, one of the
biggest banks in the country is orti
mistic over the business outlook for
1921. One of his reasons is that 1--WE
have passed through a presidential
election and are assured four years of
sane administration" 1t is the spirit
of confidence engendered by that fact
that insures, more than anything else,
a coptcnted nation for the coming

GOVERNMENT BY GOSSIP
Local Officers Want Evidence and
Stand Ready to Prosecute Any
Real Cause of Action Against
Anybody.

The statement having been publish
ed in the Daily News that Rev. 7. F.
Kelly had stated to the union meeting
Sunday evening that six stills were
running in the vicinity of Lamar, Dis
trict Attorney Cole and Sheriff Simp
son at once took steps to get the evil
dence for the purpose of prosecuting
the offenders. Mr.. Cole called Rev.
Kelly on the phone and asked for in
formation as to the location of the
paper had made mistake as he had
only said tha. he had been informed
such was the case, and that his in
formant was a man that he did not
know, but presumed he had known
what he was talking about Mr.. Cole
promptly took means to let the pubic
know the facts in the case and that
the officers were ready to do their
duty at any time without regard to
where the chips might fall. Both he
and Sheriff Simpson have a record for
fearless enforcement of law where
they have the slightest real evidence
on which to base case. They are
men who always make good on their
word and will hunt down any law
violators, but they cannot proceed
without some evidence that the law
has been violated. Gossip has been
entirely too potent factor in Lamar.
It has been the controlling force in a
number Of elections and in unwarrant-
ed persecution of some individuals, but
the fact that your aunt's uncle's cous-
in said that he had heard one of your
neighbors had been reported to have
had a bad breath the other night is
not sufficient evidence to induce a
court of justice to get out n search
warrant of his home to see il still
is located there. An inofensive law
abiding citizen, it is true, has very
few rights left him in this country
any more, but the right of privacy in
his own home is one that so far re-
formers have been unable to take away
from him.

Excuse Us

A typical old time western hunter
was here today enroute to Chicago
with a live Cinnamon bear which he
had captured in old Mexico. He was
taking it to Chicago but spoiled all
the romance and pioneer flavor of the
performance by driving Mr.. Bear
through in a Ford. His bearship did
not act like just the kind of boon
companion we would select for a two
thousand mile trip.

Washington, March 1.-Instead of
producing the official documents and
other papers bearing on foreign loans
as he had promised to, Secretary of
the Treasury Houston sent word to
the senate judiciary committee that
he had turned them all over to Secre-
tary of State Colby to determine
whether they should be made public.

not to understand and appreciate the
purpose of Mr.. Houston's action"

Reed stated.
This is TO my mind deliberate
and palpabIe effort TO suppress the
facts. The secretary of the treasury
promised us we should have these pa
pers. His assistant, Mr.. Kelley, was
to have been here with them today.
Instead, we have these letters,
