OLD FASHIONED
OIL BOOM HITS
ARKANSAS TOWN
Smackover Has Grown From
800 to $4,000 People
Since June.

Smackover, Ark, the center OF
activities resulting from the opening
of the oil field at that place, is an
outstanding illustration of an oil boom
once it gets under way, according to
Arthur Baalim of the Gladys Belle Oil
company, who returned to Great Falls
Wednesday from the southern city.
Smackorer was last June a town Of
300 people and now is a city with a
population Of $4,000, with hundreds of
others struggling to become resdents,i
Mr.. Baallm stated.
Take Trains to Hotels
Five thousand of the persons who
claim Smackover as their home are
unable to sleep there at night because
of lack Of accommodations. Special
trains are run between Smackover and
Eldorado. a distance of eight miles. to
carry the overflow to where beds can
be found. Train accommodations have
been augmented as much as possible,

tops in order to make the trip. Photo
graphs of daily scenes in the oil town
show the streets damned from curb to
curb with persons who are identified
with the oil business in one way or
another.
Many of the completed wells at
Smackover range from 10000 to 40 900
barrels a day and no estimate has
ever been made of the gasser that is
known as the Snackover discovery.
This well has dug a crater big enough
to contain a large building and since
the gas became agitated it has forced
a w1v 70 the surface throuph 9 0n0
feet of earth. breaking out and forming
smaller craters a quarter of a mile
from the well. Tankage for the flow
from the oil wells was never attempted

reservoirs that resemble lakes. Hun
dreds of men and teams are constantly
at work building additional reservoirs.
Low Grade Oil
There is an entire absence of
geology in the Smackover field said
Mr.. Baalim. In the entire region there
isn't a sign of a rock, which means
that in the popular sense of the term
are no surface readings. All of
the wells are located in dense woods,
the trees being so thick and the under
growth so heavy as to make it virtually
4 jungle. The oil is low grade, about
90 gravity, but it makes an excellent
fuel oil and has a heavy lubricant con
tent. The absence of rock makes drill
ing easy. it being possible TO complete
4 well with the rotary drills used there
in eight days.

Vicksburg, the same company having
previously bought three other of the
famous Swain boats. 1t will replace

bought of the Peorians and which
