HOUSTON WELL IN
JEFFERSON COUNTY
MAY BE PRODUCER
Outcome of Test Is Awaited
With Interest BY
Oil Men.

Houston, Tex, Feb. 24.-Consider-
able attention at the close of the week
in the Gulf coast was centered in the
Houston Oil Company's wildcat test
Mt Big Hill in Jefferson county where
it is said the company has found al
sand at about 1900 feet that may be
tested. Some OF. the rumors were to
the effect that the sand was true oil
sand and that test was expected to
result in a producer. Others predict
another salt dome field for the Gulf
coast. Little authentic information
is coming from the well, although i'll
is known that the company thinks the
sand worth testing.
The last week has been rather dull
in the Texas gulf coast fields, with
decline of 1880 barrels in the daily
average production. The daily aver
age for all fields was 1880 barrels
for the week, according to the Oil
Weekly, with most of the fields show
ing small decreases. The decrease
was not especially marked at any
field, but is simply the result of the
bad weather, and small amount of
field work.
Good Well at Orange.
The best well of the week was the
| IaulltOn vi corporation NO. III
Chesson at Orange. which came in for
700 barrels at 5000 feet. Other COM
| pletions at Orange were only routine
and all were small. The daily aver
age of the Orange field is now IL, 515
| barrels.
At the new Big Greek field in Fort
Bend county, the Gulf Production
Company's No. Wheat has increased
to 200 barrels of clean oil after run
ming a string of 1-S-;nch tubing. This
company's No. 3 Davis at Big Creek
was abandoned at 675 feet in salt
and made location for No. 1000 feet
north of No. 3.
At West Columbia. the daily aver
age production is down to 22,1S0 bar
rels, with work going on at only four
new wells. Several rigs are running
in the field, but n majority of the
work is cleaning out and working over
old producers. 1t is not expected
that much new work will be under
taken at West Columbia until some
time in the spring. TIE Texas Com.
pcny hes under lease 2 lerge section
of proven acreage at West Columbia,
but will wait awhile before starting
any new holes. This company's pro-
duction is around $4,000 barrels daily
; in this field.

MIRANDA CITY is
SELECTED AS SITE
FOR OIL REFINERY
Killam to Build Plant Soon
With 1000 Barrels
Capacity.

Miranda City, Tex, Feb. 24.-Mi-
rando City is to have a 2000-barrel
oil refinery which will be in operation
by the first of July, according to an
nouncement made Saturday by o. w.
Killam Just prior to his leaving for
Cincinnati and the East to place or
ders for the machinery.
Mr.. Killam said: II planned this
refinery many months ago and it has
been one of my dreams and after ! got
it worked out in my mind just right
put it up to my associates and bust
ness acquaintance and the total CAPT
tai stock of 100000 was soon sub
scribed. The plan met with instant
success and now am going East Il
place orders for the machinery"
A two-thousand barrel refinery will
mean much to Miranda City. The lit
tie oil town is growing rapidly nov
and with this industry to give EN-
| ployment to n number of men it will
be only the beginning of many indus
| tries dependent upon the crude oil
Mr.. Killam did not say just wha
properties he would take from tn
crude other than the Tub content
However it is known that by putin
the Miranda gas oil through a crack
ing process, a good grade of gasolin
can be made and that it is in stuff
cient content to make the process
paying business.
I a refinery at Miranda City wi
cause others to come in and it wi
not be long until good part of th
daily production will be marketed Q
home which will cause the price [
advance. 1t will also cause a large
drilling campaign and with grei
production n pipeline will be run int
the territory and the price Of the NJ
rando crude may soon double its pre-
ent selling price. Once the Tefinel
use the Miranda crude and the buyin
public finds out its great Tub valu
not surpassed by any oil in the Unite
; States, ii will command a very big
price. These things take time and
is seldom a small field so far remove
from the markets can command eve
rs good price MS operators are recei'
J ing for their product.

horse and vehicle business After
making good he was allowed to buy
an interest in the business. This

1906, when with Judge I. d. Cobbs,
he purchased a controlling interest and
incorporated under the name of

was bought and the firm was changed

The first principle of economy is buying til
best you can afford-whether the purchase
clothing, furniture, bacon, or plumbing fixture
But of all purchases for the home, good plumb
ing is by far the most important and most eel
nomcial, because it protects life and health
and because it costs less, by comparison wit
the service rendered, than anything else yd
buy.
Few manufacturers are willing to gambl

ual plumbing and heating dealer, and this AL
sociation's guarantee, printed in this adve
tisement.
Seconds are so-called because they are in
ferior to first-class, standard products. USED
or secondhand goods are always under SUD
picion. In plumbing fixtures, buying eithd
kind of the foregoing is the widest kind d
speculation. 1t means gambling with healt
and money, with the cards stacked against you
The false economy of buying inferior plumb
ing fixtures is most likely to result in repai
bills that might have been avoided. No on
who buys inferior goods has right to CON

where is 1t all leading to?"
continued Captain Smyth. Sup
pose De Valera is to defeat the
Free State army-the country
must first be reduced to chaos
and ruin. He tried to defeat
our army in the field when he
had all the advantages. Last July
when the battle of the Four
courts opened in Dublin, the Free
State Army did not number one
thousand troops. Today our army
is at least 10000. The De Valera
party then held whole sections of
country, such as Waterford, Cork
Kerry, Limerick, Galway. We
were not organized. We had not
a single man in any one of these
places. If De Valera could win in
the field he had then his golden
opportunity. He failed and now
he tries to defeat the Free State,
not by defeating it's army, but by
making war upon the Irish people.
DE Valera says il the Free
State goes overheard he will get
the Republic. When the whole
Irish nation was united we failed
to beat the English army. They
had us in their grip when a truce
was proclaimed in July, 1921.
I'VE were against the walls;
we had only 215 actual fighting
men in Dublin and not five rounds
Of ammunition per head for them.
Does De Valera imagine that with
a ruined and divided country be-
hind him he can defeat the British
in the field after first having de-
feated the Free State army?
1.-THE truth is that he cannot
defeat us militarily, not alone take
on the British Empire with a
starving Ireland.
"If DE Valera defeats the Free
State 1t is common sense that Ire
land will be broke. ruined de-
populated for the next fifty years
to come"

VAQUERO DIES,
ENDING
ERA
By WILLIAM g. CAYCE,
International News Service Staff

Correspondent.
r OS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. "old
time" era in California his
- tory passed into the discard
here recently with the death and
funeral of Francisco Portillo, who
was buried beneath the very
ground over which he had often
swung in a pair of stirrups.
Senor Portillo was a "vaquero"
almost from the day that his
fathers caravan from Hermosillo.
Mexico, reached the tiny pueblo Of
Los Angeles until he became too
old to work.
The old Spaniard passed the
earlier part of his life at the IA
nous old Rancho Camullos, where
he herded cattle and sheep for
his father, Don Ignacio Portillo,
and often rode herd to the
cattle marts of gay Monterey.
He saw progress thunder past
the milestones; in less than sew
enty-five years he saw San Fran
cisco replace Monterey and Los
Angeles replace San Francisco
He saw the famous "peon pants"
go from the store counters ten
years ago and return last year.
Senior Portillo died hoeing flow
ers at the home of a nephew. It
seemed a. strange ending Of a dar-
ing man who had perhaps rode on
a stampede Of 10000 cattle.
His passing marked the dividing
line between the "old time" and
the new.
