Enter Pool
CBy The Associated press.l J

AUTIN, Tex, Dec. Ga poor widow
with single lot Of ground in Workman
may become wealthy by action Of the
state in granting her special permission
to have an oil well drilled on her lot. 4
In this field, where wells are said to
be springing up overnight, the woman
tried to get neighbors to pool with her
so they could drill without violating the
rule against placing wells within 300
feet of each other. Big companies on
three sides Of her home refused to pool,
and C. V. Terrell Of the railroad COM
mission, and Judge Bell of the oil and
gas division, granted permit to drill
on her own land.
Mr. Terrell returned today from the
field reporting that a world record has
been reached there in the speed of
drilling. One hundred permits were
granted and about 80 derricks erected
within six days all on a narrow strip
of land not more than a mile long. The
field runs through the town and every
body in Workman with a town lot is
trying to drill well on it. There is
a frenzied rush to the new field, Mr..
Terrell said.

CHAPTER XVIII
In the Dead NIGHT.

Twilight had long faded into dark,
the hazy stars seeming only to inten-
sify the deep gloom OF the woods,
when Jack Warhope returned to Black
rock, coming in by way of the feed
pens, and slipping the horses into the
barn through the cattle sheds.
He crouched a long time on the
kitchen step listening. No unusual
sound disturbed the silence. Very care
fully he fitted his key-the same that
had come so near causing him trouble
at the inquest-into the lock; guard
edly turned it; worked the door slow
~ open; entered; softly closed and
locked it.
Stealing across the floor, he made
his way to the small Office room where
the papers and safe were kept.
He tiptoed behind the curtains that
hung over the entrance to a closet un-
der the stair in the sitting room and
stood still, his ears strung for every
sound that rode the night.
It couldn't have been short Of mid
night, and his mind had gone back to
the house-boat, riding safe and secure
in the pocket at Alpine island, when
there came the sound for which his
ears were straining- hands outside
prying at the window Of the west room.
He drew his revolver, cooked it and
took position SO that he could see
through the curtains without causing
them to move.
There came a low sound of crum-
bling wood; the muf1ed slither of crack
ing glass; the soft CRATE Of the sash as
it was slowly raised; finally the creak
of the window-sill and the faint swish
of clothing as somebody crawled
through. The sounds were repeated
one-nO more.

Industry Suggested for Utah, Which
Has About 100000 Acres of
Those Trees.

In Utah the manufacture of paper
from aspens is no new idea, as some
of the pioneers in that state produced
fair grade of paper from wood pulp
and rags suitable for news print.
From time to time the shortage of pa
per supply has brought attention to the
possibilities of employing the quaking
aspen trees of Utah for reduction to
pulp for paper manufacture.
Now there are approximately 10O,-
600 acres of the slopes in northern and
central Utah. Their usefulness con
sists of serving as a cover for young
evergreens, and to certain extent
they aid in controlling the flow Of
streams, and for that reason are
conserved by foresters The timber is
