Why Not Make the Test i j. E Martin

Scarecly a day passes that some town j urday on business,
in the Territory does not send out the —-
report of "bringing in" an oil or gas f sanHUH
well. Since the Kansas field was op-
ened up, men have been gradually
working this way with the result that
in seven cases out of ten they have
been amply rewarded for their efforts.
Two years ago Cleveland, 0. T. was a
flag station. Some six months later a
well was mined and oil discovered, i
I he place is a young metropolis now. j
Several of the Oklahoma towns are pass-j
ing through the same experience, j
Ponca City is using natural gas for |
light and fuel. The sevants of these
towns laughed to scorn the thought of
the new venture but they have been
silenced.
From the reports of the governments
geological department this vicinity is
in the oil trend. This fact may not be
sufficient strong for one to wager on,
yet the wise ones take heed of such
reports and few failures have been
noted.
Pauls Valley is in the oil belt, let
this be conceded, yet without an effort
no benefit will be derived from such
conditions. The Commercial Club of
this city could solve the problem.
It is not necessary to state the bene-
fits to be derived from a successful,
trial. Is it worth the chance? Others !
have succeeded, why not Pauls Valley? !

The scenery of "Over Niagara
Falls" is from the famous studio of |
Buhler & Mann. Their large force of
artists and carpenters were fully oc-
cupied by this huge production for
some ten weeks. It is claimed that
the scene showing the Niagara Falls
with its mighty rush roar and fall of
water is the heaviest ever built for trans-
portation. Other prominent scenes
are, Goat Island at midnight, Suspen-
sion Bridge, The Whirlpool Rapids,
Lake Chatauqua and the Pan American
Indian Congress. The production will
be seen at the opera house Friday
night, Dec. IS.

Farmers Urged to Hold
Richard Cheatham of Atlanta, Ga.,
secretary of the Southern Cotton Assn
ciation, has issued an open letter to the
cotton growers of the South in which
[he urges them to hold for 15c cotton.
He says: "The cotton growers of the
South, through and with the assistance
of their organization, the Southern Cot-
ton Association, are slowly but surely
winning the greatest commercial battle
ever known to the world.
Hundreds of thousands of bales are
being pledged to the Southern Cotton
Association for 15c, enough to force
the price to its value very soon, unless
| buyers can continue to get yours that
is not pledged at their price; in this
event the price can not reach its value
until yours has been taken out of the
way and at their price, then the loyal
ones will again reap the benefit of their
association's hard work in their be-
half."
The Worley Household Rejoicing
The proverbial Stork paid a visit to
the home of Oscar Wo.ley with the re-
sult that in the wee hours of the morn-
ing of Tuesday, a male baby boy made
a kow tow and yell of greeting to the
Worley folk. He is a "bouncer1' de-
clares his pa. "He actually weighs 8
pounds and so far has behaved himself
nicely." Mr. Worley neglected his
grocery business a little Tue day, but
at this writing he has become recon-
ciled and is contemplating a change in
the firm name to read: "Oscar Wor-
ley & Son." The mother is doing
nicely, and family as well as friends,
are all smiles.
Judge Fleming In the Saddle
The Maxwell Republican Club met
last Monday night, with Judge Flem-
ing as presiding officer. Many things
were said in regard to the future fence
building of the party, as well much
talk of things departed long ago. The
most important move of the meeting
was the unanimous indorsement by the
club of T. N. Robnett for U. S. Mar-
shal and Judge Hosea Townsend for
judge of the 17th District, after which
the club adjourned.
HERE AT HOME
In the evening after sundown,
When its gettin' 'long toward night,
When you strut around your office
And things are out of sight,
Then is the time you feel like cussin'
For you are really in a plight.
Because they're slow as statehood
In turning on the light.
Rev. A. C. Pickens came up Tues-
day from Davis on business-
