Snow Supplies
Plenty Water

Members OF the fraternity who tray.

ed with snow reported that the high
ways We're never in better condition.
With the snow packed solid in the
ruts and holes, the thoroughfares rep
resented level speedways. and accord
ing TO the tales brought in by many,
speed records to Duncan, 2s-6w country
and other regions We're shattered. How
ever, prophecy as 10 the condition of
the roads when the snow melts was
not expressed in so enthusiastic a
manner.
The melting SHOWS are expected to
supply a large quantity of water to
fill the bayous and other sources of
supply in the southern oklahoma fields
thus relieving a tense situation which
has existed for many months due TO
lack Of water with which to carry on
operations. Thousands Of dollars have
been spent by Hewitt field operators
and others during the period Of the
drought to get water. one of the larg-
est operators in the field laid -
mile line to obtain water. The cost OF
the liquid to this operator, figuring
cost of the line, dam, power house, and
other incidental expenses was eight
cents PER barrel. Rotary drilling out
fits paid $3.50 per day for water,
which figuring an average of 80 days
for putting down the well, totals $525
for each well. At the height of pro-
duction in the Hewitt field during the
water Shortage. there were 100 or
more rotaries going, or $3.50 per day
for water. on these outfits alone.
The drought has extended over q
period of nine months.
