FIRES AND LOW PRICE MAR RACE
FOR FORTUNE IN NEW OIL FIELD

Few Joys as Days of Peace Yield
to Struggle and Bad Feeling.

believe that salt water will slow down
the play.
Under normal conditions such a de-
velopment would spell millions for many
of the operations, but in this instance
the field as a whole is still lin the
red" This is because many Of the
operators disregarded the posted price
of crude oil and contracted to sell their
oil as low as Is and 20 cents a barrel,
while the same grade OF crude in other
midcontinent fields was bringing 81
cents. This low price of crude has
brought down the prices of leases and
royalties; only the cost of meals and
lodging remains at boom-time prices.
RiR-RafT in Plight.
Even the riff-raff element, hangers
on in booms of all sorts, are faring
sadly. Texas rangers and local peace
officers will give them no rest; their
nests and dives are closed as speedily
as the birds come home to roost. The
local moonshiners find their regular
customers hard to deal with. The drug
peddlerS have steered clear.
The honky-tonks have no bright
lights. In this, the East Texas oil field
is different from any yet developed.
From an economic standpoint, the
East Texas district will prove rich to
the old-line oil companies and operators.
They are supporting the proration move
ment which became effective May /.
They are holding their crude for the
market price and are building pipe
lines and loading racks, refinerieS and
gasoline plants, figuring on making
their killings" when the hurrah and
boom boom is over.
The district today is nearly 40 miles
long, north and south, and from miles
to II miles across, the widest area being
on the north end in Gregg and Smith
Counties, where there is thick oil
sand. and gushers of from 5000 to
10000 barrels day, with sufficient gas
volume and rock pressure to make the
well flow natural. The oil averages
40 degrees gravity, which places it with
the best in the mid-continent; 1t has
a high gasoline content, with lubricat-
ing oil base.
Proximity to the Gulf Coast, which
means cheap transportation to Atlantic
seaboard refining and marketing
centers, permits the migrating COM
panies to compete with all other fields
in the United states and with the cheap
Venezuelan crude, which has caused so
much concern to the Hoover administra-
ton and the independent oil operators.

LONGVIEW, Tex, May 2.-The
Northeast Texas oil field has become an
empire, and with it have come joys and
sorrows, wealth and disaster.
The race for riches in this wild
scramble is leaving in its path wrecked
| homes and charred bodies. Fortunes OF
which many dream may never be mace,
and today the seasoned oil operator Is
! content to take fair margin OF pront
and go back to the older fields, where
peace and order prevail
East Texas was the home OF peace
loving group of farmers and small bust
ness men, but crop and business 1all-
ures had sapped their optimism. When
| 1t was proved that great oil held was
| In the making the scramble started.
The gossips of Longview can tell you OF
brother turned against brother. and son
who deserted father; the gossips IN Hen
| derson, Tyler, Kilgore and other cities
can tell similar tales.
Safety Item Overlooked.
In their haste to develop big oil
production, experienced engineers over
| looked the item of safety, and within
| the last two weeks IT men have lost
their lives in fires and explosions; num-
dreds have been injured in the COM
monest type of accidents

men somewhere in the debris. The body
of a ninth victim was In a LongvieW
morgue. The we'll was running wild,
flowing its wealth of oil and gas into

pieces of machinery clanked together
and caused a tiny spark. Glen Harroun,
superintendent for Sinclair, saw his
brother and seven other men swallowed
I'D by the flames 1t was the third fatal

Derricks are built of pine in this
great field. So speedy has been the

for drilling wells, building tanks and
pipe lines. Safety equipment was left

season is on, these death-beartng and
fre-inviting fumes have not been
waited away but frequently settle in
ravines and along the roads.
Field known as Empire.
Less than four months old, the field
has come to be known as an empire

cause of the several pools which have
| been developed. Three distinct pools
] have been proven, the Longview, the
| Kilgore or Bateman and the Henderson
or Joiner. The combined production
has exceeded 100000 barrels daily; the
recovery has passed the 1000, 000-barrel

! touched by other fields. More than
800 wells are drilling or preparing to
drill at this time The fields have not
been defined, although a marker has
been found along the west side Of the
Bateman pool, where salt water drowned
out the Oil in several wells. Engineers

CAMPBELL TO HURL I4OO H. ?. CAR
 1T SPEED MARK ON DAYTONA SANDS

NEW YORK, Jan. So Throwing gas into 400 hcI Io power super charged Campbell-Napier engine at the rate of 80 gallons an hour, Capt. Malcolm Campbell in his 'Bluebird IT. hopes to shatter the present worlds speed mark on land of 231.36 miles an hour.
 Captain Campbell, the only living man who has driven an automobile faster than 200 miles an hour has arriVed in this country; preparatory to the speed trials early in February on the sands at Day tcna Beach, Florida.
 The present record was set by the late Sir H. o. D. Segravo in his Golden Arrow On the Daytona course in 1929. segrarc was killed extending his spe1 mastery over water.
 The "Bluebird II is built to buck and overcome a frontal air pressure of four tons. approximately 2SS pounds to the square foot. This pressure, it is estimated, is five times as great as the widest known hurricane
 Captain Campbell drove Blue bird l." similar car, to worlds record of 2os955 in 1928, which shortly afterwards was raised by the late Ray Keech to 2o7552 miles an hour, and then was left far be- hind in the laundering triumph of Scgrave's Golden Arrow.
 Campbell at present is the holder of the worlds record for five miles, which he set in South Africa in 1929. His goal for the coming tests is 250 miles an hour.

CT missing or dead in the southern district. Albert Anderson failed to return from hunting trip last November. John, Wickstrom disap- peared from his boat and was never heard from. And John Marshall, a fish buyer was found dead aboard his boat in which he had left pe- tersburg early in October.
 Murder Arcuscs Authorities
 It was the murder of Marshall that aroused Federal authorities to vigorous action The Bureau of h. vestigation sent a special agent to Ketchikan and he has been con- ducting an inquiry for several weeks. The arrest of Langton and Anderson, declared Marshal White, may lead to the solution of the Marshall murder and clear up the disappearance of not only Farrow and Davis but also of the others mentioned.

Siamese T,ci',s Charge
 They Are Held, Bondage

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. o0.- Daisy and Violet Hilton Skinner,
 Texas Siamese twins, went to court today to testify they were held in bondage since childhood.
 The District Court heard charg- es that Myer Rothbaum and his wife Emily have held the twins in undue restraint since they were 8 years old. Counsel for the two, known in exhibition tours as Daisy and Violet Hilton, asked that a receiver for all money, securities and real property now held in their names be appointed.
 The suit recites that the twins were born in London, February 5, 1908. In dire circumstances, their Kate Skinner, sold them in bondage" to nurse, Mary Hilton, the petition said. When they were years old, Mrs. Hilton died and willed the title to the twins to her daughter, Emily. now Mrs. Rothbaum, according to the charges. The Rothbaums allowed them only the necessities of life while they were earning as much as S3,500 weekly in vaudeville and circuses, the twins charged.

 She declared that her husband and Anderson had had trouble, and that the latter had drawn a gun on Farrow several times, one night shooting two rounds out os his re- rolver inside of the cabin, and that he had pointed his gun at Farrow many times, saying what he would do. She further alleged that An derscn had drawn his gun on Far row at Wrangell on one occasion and that the latter had taken it away and punched AnderSon's jaw.
