YALE STATE BANK—
“As Old as Yale”
$1.00 Per Year
SAFE, SOUND AND
CONSERVATIVE
Your Business Solicited
-Deposits Guaranteed
BRIGHT AND NEW YET
“AS OLD AS YALE.”
The Yale Staie Bank Building
and Improvements Com-
pleted at a Coot of
815,000.
After Yale’s destructive fire
last spring and when arrange-
ments were made to rebuild the
burned district the owners of the
Yale State Bank property on the
corner of Sixth and Main streets
decided that the old stone build-
ing which had done service as a
Kankm#Jibuse for several years
and which escaped the fire, was
too shabby for the newer and
larger Yale and this prosperous
and flourishing financial institu-
tion.
Accordingly preparations were
made for a new brick building to
be erected on the site <of the old
one and to envelope it.
The new structure has been
partially completed for several
months but the finishing touches
on the interior arrangements of
the room reserved for the bank’s
use -has just been fiuaished. The
building is 25x100, two stories.
The second story is arranged in-
to suites of very pleasant office
-rooms. Two rooms in the rear
of the bank on the first floor are
occupied respectively by a gro-
cery and a millinery store.
The building and banking house
fittings and furnishings com-
pleted at a coat of about $15,-000,
is c. monument of stability and a
splendid evidence of -the confi-
dence of the bank owners in the
future of Yale.
The interior of the hanking
rooms are planked with white
marble and based witb black;
ingsof bronze. The big plate glass
windows are ornamented by at-
tractive gold signs and the whole
appearance and arrangement of
the bank is such that it would do
credit to any city in Oklahoma.
This institution prides itself on
being “as old as Yale.” It was
organized with the beginning of
the settlement of the town by
George and Wilbur Canfield, Dr.
Newell and Allan Adams and the
Messrs. Canfield still own stock
of the bank.
About nine years ago C. P.
Rock bought the majority of the
stock and four years thereafter
G. Hy, Smith succeed him and is
now president of the bank and
actively engaged in the conduct
of its business. He is ably as-
sisted by G. F. Hurst as cashier
and they are recognized as safe
and conservative men in their
line and are popular with the
public and thoroughly entrenched
in the confidence of the people
of Yale and vicinity. In loans,
bonds and warrants the bank
carries approximately $100,000;
it has $225,000 of deposits and
$140,000 of cash and sight ex-
change. Thus it will be seen
that its condition is not only per-
fectly solvent but very flatter-
ingly sound and thriving.
The Yale State Bank besides
being “as old as Yale” 13 a credit
to Ya!e, and may it continue to
grow and prosper as long as this
town and community flourishes.

litcle if any hope of his recovery.
This is a peculiarly sad accident,
Mr. Sloan being but 24 years old
and having a wife and two little
children dependant on his labor.

A Profitable Meeting.
There was a representation of
citizens st the Commercial Club
meeting yesterday, Friday night,
President Canfield presided.
Though the attendance was
quite large the members of the
committees appointed at last
weeks meeting, because of the
absence of certain members
thereof, failed to make report
and they were continued.
This session, after considering
a letter from the glass factory
people which leaves that propo-
sition still unsettled, resolved
itself into a “committee of the
whole” for the general discus-
sion of the gas question. It was
stated by Mr. Canfield that a
new gas company, composed
largely of home capital, had ap-
proached the city council of
Yale, asking under certain con-
ditions for a new gas franchise,
and as the people holding the
present franchise have neglected
or will not consider the making
of a reasonable factory price on
gas, the council is disposed as
being interested in Yale’s pros-
perity, all other things being
equal, to grant the second fran-
chise. It is a patent and well
demonstrated fact that cheap
gas will do more toward bring-
in factories than all the bonuses
Yale would be willing or able to
hang up for that purpose. Now,
the new company is not disposed
and have so stated to take out a
franchise unless it is assured of
the moral and financial support
of the gas consumers of Yale.
Without exception the expressed
opinion of the Commercial Club
members present at this time
was that, if gas was furnished
as cheaply for domestic consump-
tion by the new concern as is
being done by the established
company, then in view of the
concessions promised in the way
of cheap factory gas, the new
company should receive the en-
couragement asked. To this
end a committee was appointed
to canyas the town, requiring
gas consumers to signify by
written declaration that they
will support the new company.
This committee is expected to be
able to report not later than next
Tuesday night and if the report
is favorable the city council will
immediately take the necessary
action to submit the new fran-
chise to a vote of our people.
The Club adjourned until its
next regular meeting—Friday,
Nov. 12.
In the Yale
Oil Field.
The most northwest corner well
on the Mabel Dale tract, 6 miles
southeast of Yale, is one of the
best yet brought in in that local-
ity by the Producers company.
It is making 2,200 barrels of oil
a day. It is up against the Mon-
day Yargee eighty, leased by
Slick, and only a short distance
from the Cimarron river, where
the Mohawk company is drilling.
Between the two is the strip of
land, now in dispute, as to wheth-
er it belongs to the riverbed, to
the Mable Dale or to the govern-
ment.
This new well on the Dale in-
creases the production from that
piece to approximately 6,500
barrels a day and makes it now
one of the best producing tracts
in the Oilton district. The pro-
duction from this tract, as well
as from all the Producers pro-
perties, is taken by the Texas
Pipe Line company daily, now
amounting to about 12,000 bar-
rels a day. The Mable Dale now
with fourteen producing wells,
is the best yielding tract owned
by the Producers.

The drillers at the Mains well,
near Ingalls, are having consid-
erable trouble; After the flow
of gas reported last week was
struck and drilling was resumed
a volume of salt water was en-
countered. The gas pressure
continued to increase raeanwhUa
an i water Went spouting over
the derrick. The drilling crew
went to Tulsa Saturday for some
needed casing apparatus. At
the present depth, less than 800
feet, the showing is very encour-
ing. It is thought that the salt
water can be cased out without
difficulty and drilling resumed
at once.

The Cushing Home Gas com-
pany, organized for the purpose
of providing cheap factory gas,
brought in a good gas well Thurs-
day, three miles northeast of
that city. It looks like the com-
pany would be able to accom-
plish its purpose soon. Other
wells are drilling.

Mighty Hunter's and

The party that leaves Yale
this week for the Kiamachi
mountains is composed of some
of our enthusiastic sportsmen,
among whom so far as our
knowledge extends there is
mighty hunters and fellows who
might be hunters. I. A. Tull
goes with his car tomorrow,
Thursday, taking a part of the

varnished cars the day after.
Those who have^ enrolled for the
frolic are: Arch Wagoner, J.

Almost We Owned an Auto.
A runaway automobile tried to
break into The Democrat office
about noon today, Saturday. The
machine was Arthur Tull’s big
Cadillac and looks good to us, in
fact we could not object owning
it, but to have it coming toward
the front of our building with
only two innocent looking bird
dogs at the 6teering-whee! was
rather startling and disconcert-
ing to say the least.
However, after the first sur-
prise we found the auto to be
propelled only by its own weight; two, and so much small game
it having been left standing n! that the whole outfit will get
the up-side of the street.    1 b e gout as a serfeit of living on
