NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1919.
PRICE FIVE CENTS
NOTES ON THE
FUEL SITUATION
The 125 or more University stu-
dents, high school boys and citizens
who went out to the It. O. Miller
{'lace on Thursday on the wood cut-
ting expedition, performed valiant
service. Some seventeen truck loads
of wood were brought to the Knox
wagon yard and is being sawed into
stove lengths today, and there is as
much more to be brought in. Over
100 volunteers went out to the R'ic!<-
er thnber on Friday morning and ex-
pect to give as good an account of
themselves as on the Miller place.
Just as soon as roads permit, much
wood will be brought in to the indi-
vidual vards and it is believed there
will b plenty to supply the need
when it ;lIo acute.
The fuel survey of the town made
by committees in the several wards
indicate that Norman householders
are for the most part supplied with
sufficient fuel to last for several
days, and some for several weeks.
The committees found very few suf-
fering, and those few are being sup-
plied from the supply at the school
houses and court house. Judge
George Allen is doling it out in 500
pound lots and has had calls for onU-
eight or ten from those who are com^
pletely out. The committees found
many householders who reported
"plenty."
''What we must do now, however,
is to get in the wood to take care of
the situation when the coal gives en-
tirely out," says Judge Allen.
Fuel oil and coal oil burners are be-
ing put into buildings as rapidly as
possible and many will be installed.
The burners are being put into the
public school buildings, the Universi-
ty buildings and Oklahaoma State
hospital, First National bank R C.
Berry's store. Farmers National,
English Kitchen, Smith's Book store
and numerous others. A number of
them are burning kerosene at 15 cents
per gallon and say a stove uses up
about 4 1-2 gallons every ten hours.
The oil distributing companies are
.-aid to have a fairly good supply on
hand.
The University and Liberty thea-
tres are getting a supply of wood and
hope to be allowed to run. Many
person? patronize them, and while
they are at the theatre are not burn-
ing fuel at home, and really the in-
stitutions are one means of conserv-
ing fuel.
When all this trouble is over there
will be so many fuel oil and coal oil
burners installed in the town that the
consumption of coal will be material-
ly reduced—and keep reduced.
It is believed that commencing at
midnight Sunday, a number of pas-
senger trains on all the roads running
through Oklahoma will be taken off,
a « ii ...ay be the Santa T- will be
cut down to two trains each way.
By notice published elsewhere the
University authorities give notice that
sorority and fraternity houses and
others rooming and boarding students
wrtl be supplied with coal from the
university's supply as long as it
l*«ts. It in hoped to tide over the
situation at the institution until the
j Christmas holidays at least, and bv
| that time maybe b«tter conditions will
' develop.
All the churches will hold services j
on Sunday morning and evening, the'
| situation not being so acute here as to
! necessitate discontinuance of church
} activities. Should it be necessary later I
| a "community service," will be held —j
the congregations holding union ser-.
vices.
Judge Allen, as chairman of the
county council of defense, gives or-
ders to those desiring coal, and re-
quires a positive promise from all
getting orders that they will cut suf-
ficient wood or have it cut and hauled
to offset the coal received, so that
the supply of fuel will not be deplet-
ed. Judge Allen is insistent that we
must make preparation for the future.
The county council of defense is hav-
ing a meeting Friday afternoon to
discuss the situation and lay plans
for the future.

University of Oklahoma will be-
come an international factor in plans
of the Marland Oil company, Ponca
City, to purchase exclusive oil rights
to the Republic of Salvador are suc-
cessful, according to Dave Logan,
geologist with the company.
The rights to Salvador are in the
possession of one individual who in-
terested Marland in the proposition.
Marland sent a party from San Fran-
cisco Nov. 1, including F. P. "Spot"
Geyer, F2. B. Hyde and W. Grant
Blanchard, all former university men,
to Salvador to investigate the oil pos-
sibilities there.
The three Oklahoma men will be
geologists for the party. Results of
the tour, which will take several
months, will determine Marland's ac-
tion.
Further,South American work may
be opened to the Ponca City firm,
Logan believes, since the firm pur-
chased a private yacht at New Or-
leans. Chester Westfall, former in-
structor in journalism, and secretary
to Governor Williams, but now sec-
retary of the Kay Oil and Gas com-
pany is included in this party.
Oklahomans from the university are
becoming a great factor in South
America, university officials declared
Wednesday.—Oklahoma Daily.
"Spot" Geyer, one of the members of
the geological party is the son of
E. H. Geyer of Norman. Forest
was prominent in Norman highschool
athletics and also in Sooner football
battles before graduating.
Wm. Grant Blanchard's home is at
Purcell.
| Gov. Robertson recently made re-
quisition on the Federal government
to Send regular troops to Oklahoma
I to take care of the situation at Mc-
| Alester and other coal centers. Word
i was reseived on Wednesday night
j that in accordance with the request
two companies of negro troops would
be sent. Gov. Robertson immediate-
ly telegraphed protesting against any
such thing, declaring that such ac-
tion would be dangerous to the
state and make a bad matter worse
—and that if no white troops were
available to send none at all. It is
not known whether the governor's
1 telegram reached Maj. Gen. Joseph
Dickman, commanding the southern
division of the army, in lime to have
the order countermanded, but it is
sincerely hoped it did, for if negro
troops come there is certain to be
clashes between them and the min-
ers and it is believed many of tlu
volunteer miners would quit their
jobs. It would be a grave mistake.
Later: Gen. Dickman is sending
white troops.
Although Thursday afternoon was
in pleasant a go .r 11 y number of mem-
bers of the Home Economics club
