SALT DOME
. IN NUECES
PROBABLE
Location Made for Hole
to Be Drilled on
1800-acre Lease.

5 CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, Nov. 81
The Texas Company is preparing to
drill test for oil on an 1SOO-acre
lease close to Tulle Lake several miles
west of Corpus Christi.
Fl. 3. Robinson and +. c. Sealy,
engineer and geologist, respectively,
were here last week to make loca-
ton for the first well. Drilling opera
tons are to begin in the near future.
1t is understood that arrangements
are being made for the construction
OF spur track to the property in or
der that operations may be speedcd up.
BUY LEASE.
The drilling lease. owned by the
Texas Company, was purchased in
September from Robert Driscoll, To-
cal banker, and III. A. Speer. This is
said to be the first time that the Texas
Company has ever come into this ter
ritory for its operations.
A salt dome is believed to exist close
to the White Point gas field which is
supplying this city with natural gas.
1t is probable that oil will come from
this dome.
Tulle Lake consists Of large body
Of low land, which during rainy
weather fills up. 1t is dry a portion
of the time. Salt is evident in the
vicinity.

NEAR WHITE POINT.

The lease owned by the Texas Com
pany is a short distance from proven
gas field, and is on this side Of Nueces
Bay. while the White Point gas field is
on the opposite.
Drilling activity Is TO be revived in
the White Point gas field. A deal
has been made with the White Point
Development Company by Scagravcs
and Moody. whereby the latter will
drill ut least three wells to the gas
formation Immediately. Others will
be drilled in the future.
When the gas wells are completed
they will be, competed TO the COM
pany's line being constructed from the
Rcfugio and Laredo fields to Houston
and Galveston.
White Point is one of the greatest
gas fields ever discovered, most of its
wells cratcring due to great pressure
of its gas.

ABANDON WILDCATS.

Indicating, though it extends over
number of counties. offers little of
promise. This week three tests were
abandoned, one in Harris county, one
in Fort Bend. and one in Wharton
county. Nothing was reported from
any of these wells.
Rumors of n big well at Spindle Top
were floating around late in the week.
but those who know that district were
skeptical of the Importance of the COM
plction. Yount-Lce Oil Company COM
plcted this well several days ago on
tile MeFaddcn. Weiss and Kyle tract,
at q depth of 2475 feet. 1t flowed at
the rate of 100 barrels for n few hours.
then sanded up, and is still dead. Ell
forts are being made to restore pro-
duction, but these had not been sue
ccssful late in the week. The we'll is
located 200 feet from the old field
proper.
A big well at Spindle Top would not
be impossible, but inasmuch as this
is the Oldest field in the Gulf Coast
and because it has been so thoroughly
drilled. the probability of an important
extension seems slight. Oil pockets
and freak sands are not uncommon in
the Gulf Coast, and the logical con-
clusion to draw about the Spindle Top
well is that it has struck a pocket of
oil or is in 4 streak of freak nav.

tincnt authorities agree that the Gar
Der field may upset predictions fol-
the time being but they do not expect
it to be factor for long. The increas-
ing amount of salt water shown by
all but four wells in the big field is
certain to shorten the life of produ :,

many scouts of major oil companies TO
revise their estimates Of CARRIER pro-

drilling below 1000 feet and five others
below 5000 feet which will have to

have under way in the accumulation
of savings dollars that go into con-
struction of thousands of homes and
into the general upbuilding of the
state and the Northwest.
Now the commercial banks want to
limit the usefulness of the seventy-two
Savings and Loan Associations of this
state, cut down the earnings that are
distributed among their members, and
force direction of Savings and Loan in
stitutions upon the States Supervisor of
Banking, an official naturally allied with
the commercial banking interests and
by that token unsympathetic with the
broad accomplishments and aspirations
of the Savings and Loan bodies.
Why turn the Savings and Loan AS
sociations, with their great public conf
dence and their perfect record for safe
ty, over to the control of the banking
interests that bitterly fought the enact
ment of the law bringing Savings and
Loan Associations into existence In
1913 and ever since have been seeking
to cripple and injure them? Especially
since those banking interests have so
much to apologize for In their own re-

One Egg Broken
I'm Thousand Dozen

In 1924 the 1884 Savings and
Loan Associations In the United States
conducted their affairs so efficiently IN
the interest of over eight million mem
bers that they handled almost FIVE bill
lions of dollars with loss of only eigh-
ty-four ten thousandths of one per cent
about like breaking one egg out of
thousand dozen. But in the State of
Washington even that one egg was not
broken, because no savings member lost
single dollar in the Savings and Loan
Associations of this state.
That year state commercial bank
losses throughout the United States
were approximately four hundred and
fifty times as great as In the associa-
tons of the nation.
What in all the world could be safer
than savings and loan protection for
your dollars, while they earn, on the
average, nearly twice as much as the
savings departments of most commercial
banks are willing to pay?

1909 Safety Record for Savings and Loan
Associations Of Washington

Two hundred and twelve thousand
thrifty people of Washington with more
than $40, 900, 900 in savings placed with
the strong, well-managed Savings and
Loan Associations of this state, are I'M
der attack by commercial banking inter-
ests, before the present legislative SEES
sion under S. B. So.
Why are commercial banks seeking
to impair the usefulness of set of insti-
tutions with a record of 1000 safety?
The answer is so plain even the man in
the street can see it.
The commercial banks wish to drive
back into their own institutions the
funds accumulated by the Savings and
Loan Associations, so they may have
the use of these funds at the low interest
rate of 3Go. Savings depositors are en-
titled to more than $50. Furthermore
they are entitled to 1000 safety.
The average rate paid by savings
and loan associations In the State of
Washington is $40. This includes mu-
tual savings banks as well.

Safety for Your Savings

Savings and Loan Associations are
the savings institutions of, the masses.
Their record of solvency surpasses that
of any other form of financial institu-
ton of like magnitude. All started in
small way to supply the need of the
thrifty for investments giving adequate
return upon moderate sums. They rep
resent a neighborhood movement that
has become nationwide in scope-a
powerful, constructive influence favor
ably affecting many phases of life.
Savings and Loan Associations have
been the greatest factor of modern times
for enabling the man of limited means
to build home. They are largely re-
sponsible for the. fact that America to-
day is nation of home-owners- and in
that enviable distinction Washington
ranks well up among the states.
Considering further the element of
safety to the investor in the Savings and
Loan Association this comparison is inn
rressiye.

The New York Law

Savings and Loan institutions and
mutual savings banks have come to be
recognized by certain eastern states as
so fully safeguarding and conserving
the savings of the masses, m contrast to
commercial banks, that savings business
on the part of commercial banks is not
encouraged, and New York goes SO far
as to enact this law:
No bank, national banking associa-
ton, trust company or other corpora
ton, other than Savings Bank or Saw
ings and Loan Association, shall make
use of the word saving or savings or
Its equivalent, in its banking business, or
advertise or put forth any advertising
literature or sign containing the word
saving or savings or its equivalent,
or solicit or receive deposits as savings
bank"
The savings institutions of Wash
ington, performing their functions in
good order and with clean record, do
not seek to Interfere with the CONNER
cial banking business of this state, and
do not wish to be dominated by the COM
mercial banking interests.

Hundred Million
Iaa Savings

There are more than 100000, 900
in mutual savings institutions of Wash
ington. A difference in earnings of 299qo
means $2,500,000 per year, or $751;
100000 in ten years. To take this away
from small savings customers in order
to pay large dividends to rich CONNER
cial bank stockholders would be tre-
mendous economic loss and a body-blow
at the general prosperity of the state.
The poor mans bank is mutual
savings institution.
So well are the funds of savings and
loan associations safeguarded, and so
well are the associations directed and SUI
pervised under Washington's excellent
laws, that in twelve years since those
laws were enacted, not single dollar
has been lost to Savings and Loan MEM
bers-A 1000 RECORD OF SAFETY!
What is the record of Washington'S
commercial banks in the same period?
The savings and loan associations
have merited and gained the full con-
hdence of the thrifty men and women
of Washington over this long period of
years. They should be encouraged to
carry forward the splendid work they

Tuneful ''Pinafore' at
Two High Schools
This Week

On Tuesday night, in the
auditorium at Central High
School, the Community Center
Department will present Gilbert
and Sullivan's tuneful opera,
"H. M. S. Pinafore," with a cast
of forty Washington singers of
promise.
This production by the Com
munity Center Department
marks the beginning Of what
promises to be an interesting
and valuable revival of light
opera music in the ranks of am
bilious young amateurs in
Washington, and the present
cast, directed by Estelle Went
worth and Albert Parr, has the
great advantage of appearing
under two artists who have sung
in all the classic light operas
all over the country.
Sir Arthur Sullivan's melo-
dious scores are never to be for
gotten by those who have heard
them, neither are w. S. Gilbert's
inimitable lyrics, but the present
generation knows them not at
all, and their elders seldom have
the chance to listen to them
nowadays.
In the cast of players, Nina
Norman, Ellsworth. Condor,
Woodruff Youngs, Ere eri c
Pratt, Erma Miller, Russell Cor
drey, Hazel Kirk, Pauline Strauss,
and Donald Weikett will appear
in prominent roles, with Albert
Parr as Captain Corcoran, OF
II. NJ. s. Pinafore.
Many of them are connected
with church choirs in Washing
ton, and even in Alexandria, in
GLIDING the First Congregational
Church, the Cleveland Park
Congregational Church, the
Episcopal Church in Cleveland
Park, and the First Baptist
Church in Alexandria. Then,
too, members of the George
