ended wednesday as compared with
the previous seven day period.
Average daily production In the
week Just closed was s2.294 barrels,
as against 76.491 barrels In the pre-
ceding week. In the last week the
number OF wells has been increased
from 637 TO 653 and the daily aver
age per well from 120.s TO 126.2.
There also we're a number OF COM
pletlons reported yesterday.
The big producers in the Burbank
area would have nothing to say for
publication regarding the order, but
they appeared to he glad that the
government has stepped In and
settled a situation that they as In
dividuals apparently had been un.
able to control. II had come to
such a pass that almost every opera
tor In the field was determined TO
beat the other fellow TO the sand
in the line wells
That the order will have an effect
that will be felt very soon in Bur-
bank production Ia indicated by the
/ fact that there now are few neces-
sary offsets TO drill in the field.
| For instance, when the big Gypsy
well was completed last week, two
/ OF tho offsets already were In and
the third has been completed since.
| They haven't been waiting to see
whether the neighbor was going 10
get a well, but have started drilling
the offsets as soon as a well was
started. These line wells that are
not offset TO producers now will be
shut down gt the top OF the sand
IL drilling already has been started.
But no new ones except necessary
offsets will be started until the
ruling Ia rescinded.
Burbank wells slump off with con-
siderable rapidity. as Indicated by
the present daily average per well.
The Gypsy well. which came In last
week with initial production OF
around five hundred barrels an hour
was reported yesterday TO have
dropped down to 1870 barrels an
hour.
How About Teapot
Mid-Continent producers were
wondering yesterday whether tho
order would be extended 10 such
areas as Teapot dome In Wyoming
and the naval reserves In California

HENRY FORD
IS DECLARED
RICHEST MAN

NEW YORK, Sept. 21--Aceording
to a story in the Wall Street Journal,
Henry Ford, head of the Ford Motor
Company is the richest man in the
world. The article says that he has
the largest income and if capitalized.
the largest fortune in the world.
The article continues:
profits, before taxes for 1922, will
exceed 125 million dollars; after tax
es they will be 110 million dollars
about 500 per car. With these earn
ings the Ford Motor Company could
be capitalized at 1000 million dol
lars, and pay 5 per cent on that cap
ital.
"Ford condemns bankers, but with
80 million dollars in cash he is the
largest individual banker in this coun-
try, if not in the world.
"His income, adding to his bound
less wealth, one-haf million dollars
a day through the busy season, is
probably unequaled in all history.
If he continues to pile up cash at
this rate he cannot long denounce
WaH Street or the money power of
the country.
"Henry Ford will be that money
power"

COLUMBIA PAPER
PRAISES NEW c.
OF C. SECRETARY

The Columbia Tribune in speaking
of Miss Pearle Crump's leaving Col
unbia, praises her work as follows:
"Miss Pearle Crump was assistant
secretary of the Columbia CONNER
cial Club for number Of years and
was also secretary of the Retail Mer-
chants Association for some time.
lShe proved herself one Of the most
efficient and thorough secretaries
either Of these organizations has ever
had. For several years Miss Crump
has been assigned the work Of secur-
ing homes for visitors when large
conventions are held at Columbia, par
ticularly the annual Farmers week
convention in January, which always
brings an overflow crowd to Colum-
bia, and, notwithstanding the fact
that all Columbia hotels and rooming
houses are always full at this season
of the year, Miss Crump has always
succeeded in finding rooms for 1000
visitors, when apparently there were
no rooms to find. Miss Crump has
had much experience in chamber Of
commerce work and the Mexico or
ganization is to be congratulated on
securing her. She will be missed in
Columbia"
