est priced of any in America.
This Would mean everything to the
country which has always been my
home, and / ask no greater honor than
to have the privilege of representing
the farmer, fruit grover, business
man. laboring man and soldier boy OF
these seven counties.
If YOU think l could do it, step out
to the front and help me put 1t over.

CASING AT JENKINS WELL To
BE LOWERED MONDAY

Latest news of the jenkins Oil well
is to the effect that Monday July 31st
has been set by the drillers as the day
on which the casing will again be
lowered into the well.e, Rimming
which has been going on for several
weeks past, will be completed by Sat
urday according to, statement of Sec
retary J. A. Hubbard.
The hole was enlarged from five
inch hole to an eight inch hole from
1862 to the present depth of 1910 feet.
This has been a long slow process and
has taken time. However, quoting
one of the drillers as authority it
seems to have been necessary: eve
could have drilled hole in the ground
in one third of the time but the hole
would, never have been in shape to
save the oil had we found it. We are
doing our level best to keep this hole
in shape as this is discovery well
and no one can tell what the next few
feet will bring Just now we are in
very hard formation. We have had
no water since 1910 and the possi-'
bilities are that no more will be struck
for several hundred feet. Therefore
we want the hole dry before going
through the present formation. You
can just figure that drillers who are
taking their wages in shares are not
going to waste any time but are go
ing to push work all speed keeping
the best interests of the well in mind
at all times"
The business men of Marionville
have recently joined the other towns
who are contributing to the drilling
fund.
When the casing is again set and
the water out of the hole excitement
will again be intense around jenkins
and many visitors will be at the well
daily to see the bailings as the bottom
Of the hole is now in a very inpor-
tant formation.
