Charles A. Whiteshot of Warington,
W. Va., says the Warren (Pa.) Mirror,
compiled a comprehensive history of
the oil industry in a large book con-
taining 900 pages which is now ready
for delivery. The book is illustrated
with cuts showing oil wells, oil ap-
pliances, men in the oil business, and
maps and diagrams from all countries
of the world, where oil is produced in
commercial quantities. The collection
of this set of pictures , was a task
in itself, and it adds one of the most
valuable features of the book. Many
of the engravings are artistic and ex-
pensive. A full page portrait of John
I). Rockefeller occupies a prominent
place. The photo was taken and the
cut was made especially for this book.
The work is a cyclopedia of the oil
industry ami of the oil history of the

Strange Fortunes
of "Bill" Lowery J
From Independence Reporter.
Life had been running along about
the same old way for many years with
Mill Lowery prior to the summer of
1904. Bill had been one of those who
had filed on a piece of land at Cleve-
land, Okla., when that fertile t<*rri-
torv was opened to settlement. Bill
could neither read nor write,, but for
all that he was an intelligent and decent
sort of a fellow whom most everybody
liked.
One day in the spring of last year
while the excitement was still at its
height in Kansas, William Fellows drew
a line northeast and southwest through
the oil fields and it struck through the
town of Cleveland and began taking
up leases. He approached Bill Lowery
and asked for a lease of his farm, which
consisted of 80 acres.
It happened that Mrs. Lowery was in j
Oklahoma City at the time visiting her I
daughter. There she had her fortune I
told. She was informed she would be- |
come rich through other people. "Your
wealth will come out. of the ground,"
the witch said. "Other people will
make your riches for you if you will
let them."
Mrs. Lowery was all excitement. She
had never had her fortune told before
md she drank in every word that was
told her as gospel truth. And indeed
in her case improved to be gospel truth.
The next day found Mrs. Lowery back
in Cleveland. There was the man to
lease the farm. He promised they would
find oil in great quantities and it
would make them richer than they had
ever dreamed of becoming. This was
just, as the witch had said. Mrs. Low-
ery told Billy her story and he Bliared
in her faith. Then it was a einch for
Fellows. All the king's horses and all
the king's men couldn't have stopped
a lease being made that day.
The world now knows the story of
the discovery of oil in the Cleveland
pool, how oil men all over the country
waited anxiously for weeks to know the
result of the test.; the conflicting re-
ports, the difficulties in getting the well
completed, the hundreds of pilgrimages
by oil men to the little hamlet, then tin-
known to the world, and finally the an-
nouncement of a 100-barrel well. Then
the excitement started which soon made
Cleveland one of the best known towns
in the United States.
Just as the witch had said, the
Lowerios through other people were
made rich. Bill Lowrv's income at
the present time is $1,500 a month, and
if he can't >ead or write, he has more
sense than a great many fellows who
can. He "salts" three-quarters of his
income every month "for a rainy
day."
"Tt keeps me mighty busy working
ten hours every day to spend the other
quarter," he says. Bill took a trip cpst,
but seeing sights and spending money
was too strenuous, and worn and fa-
tigued he was mighty glad to get back
two of which
nd shut down.
>een drilled in
any sense be
called dry, and each of these showed
some oil, Iu the second group are
those wells which have been drilled
along the lines of the Kinney and La-
Tourette additions, ln this groujj are
14 wells producing, two being drilled
and rigs up for two more. The third
group is the acreage and there are 73
producing oil wells, 7 fine gas wells
and 5 wells being drilled.
The total is given as 218, and the
Enterprise says there have been but
20 dry holes drilled. Continuing the
paper says: "As to the amount of
oil produced daily by these 211 oil
wells we can not at this time say,
and we have no way to get the
amount produced daily by each well,
but it is safe to say the average pro-
duction may be put at 50 barrels per
well. This would make the daily pro-
duction of the Cleveland pool 10,550
barrels. The fact that the Prairie Oil
& Gas company has not at any time
taken the production, has been a great
Iraw back to development in this field,
here are in Cleveland alone 220,000
barrels of oil stored in private reser-
voirs and steel tankage and another
37,000 barrel steel tank being built in
which to store oil, other earthen res-
ervoirs are being made. Several
thousand barrels of oil have been
shipped away by rail in the past few
months and still there are thousands
of barrels of oil in wooden tanks,
leaking and running away.
The Prairie Oil & Gas company lias
on its farms here stored in steel tanks
420,000 of oil.

Notes From
Various Fields
The Cherokee National Oil and Gas
company of Tulsa, brought in a gas
well three miles east of Claremore. It
is estimated to be producing two mil-
lion feeet of gas per day. McCraedy
was the driller.
,T. K. Green, a merchant of Dewey,
was a business visitor in Coffeyville
Saturday. Mr. Green is interested in
hte Dewey Gas and Mining company,
which is drilling at that place.—Coffey-
ville Journal.
E. B. Carter an oil man from the
Cleveland and Bartlesville districts,
was in Coweta last week on business.
Mr. Carter has taken several oil and
gas leases and will commence opera-
tions shortly. He stated to a report-
er for the Courier that he would make
Coweta headquarters in the future.—
Coweta Courier.
Benedum & Trees nave abandoned
their well in the neighborhood of Cush-
ing. Gaffncy Bros., who were the con-
tractors, have pulled the casing and
plugged the hole. The hole was down
1,400 feet, but like all other attempts,
it proved too expensive at the pres-
ent price of oil.—Cleveland Triangle.
Col. J. C. Morphis having declined to
act as receiver in the case originating
in the Wagg addition of Cleveland, J.
W.Ortner has been appointedThe throw-
ing of the property into the hands of
a receiver will enable the lot owners
to have their property drilled as the
decision proetieally releases the work-
ing interest in the properties. Some
of the last town lot wells are affected
by this decision.
The Mexican government has appoint-
ed a commission to study and reform
the laws of that country regarding coal
and oil. As the law stands now these
minerals go with the land, and as the
land is owned in immense tracts gen-
erally by men who know nothing of
these minerals and care much less, the
development of these industries is
most seriously retarded. The plan of
the government is to segregate oil and

A mammoth well is reported from
the vicinity of Coody's Bluff, investi-
gation fails to reveal it. Phillips &
Brown have a well on a piece of
deeded land south of Coody Bluff and
father east than any point yet deevl-
oped. It is a good well.
—At ajpoint 120 feet below where
the Bartlesville sand should have been
found in the Lakeside Oil company's
well on the southwest corner of section
36-28-13, in the forks of the Caney,
there was not a showing of oil. Drill-
ing will be continued in the hope that
a better showing will be made.

Oil Notes.
(From the Triangle.)
The Louisiana Purchase Oil com-
pany brought in their No. 7 on the
Lowery last week. They found the
sand at 1625 feet and drilled into it
46 feet. The well was shot Saturday
and made 220 barrels the first twelve
hours.
The Pawhuska Wild tat Co. s No.
1 on the McFall, northeast 4-20-8, is
in and will make a small producer in
the J.u40 foot sand. The tools which
were lost at 1800 feet, |ere taken out
xuonday and the well drilled to the
deptn of 1922 feet. There was 28 feet
of Cleveland sand found at the depth
of 1842 ^eet, Dut, while it looked good,
it was dry.. Tuesday the hole was
plugged and shot at 1542 feet with 40
piarts. It had ueen making about
I five barrels natural with 24 feet of
j sand and the shot did effective work.
It now looks as though it was a good
twenty barrel well. The oil is very
lively and tests 38 gravity. The shot
brought in quite a nice bunch of gas.
This is the first well to show up good
in this sand and it is probably an-
other pool.
The Cleveland field was again vis-
ited by an oil fire early Thursday
morning. At 1 o'clock lightning
struck a 1600 barrel tank on the Low-
ery belonging to the Louisiana Pur-
chase Oil company, and it together
with its contents and two empty 250
barrel tanks for the same company,
and that at the Minnetonka Xo. 6 on
the Lowery was destroyed between
that and daylight. This is the third
time lightning has struck upon this
80 acres of land and over 75,000 bar-
rels of oil has been consumed, to-
gether with four rigs, one 50,000 bar-
rel steel tank, 20 250 barrel and four
1600 barrel tanks.
(From the Enterprise.)
W. H. Mlliken has begun the erec-
tion of a 37,000 barrel steel tank on
the southwest corner of the Mitscher
addition. He has a 16,000 barrel steel
tank there also which will soon be
filled and in addition to these he is
pushing the work on ' the immense
earthen reservoir which is supposed to
hold 150,000 barrels of oil.
The Ohio and Indiana Oil company
is excavating a reservoir on lot 23 in
the Swan addition which will hold
about 6,000 barrels of oil.
J. P. Martin is excavating a res-
ervoir for oil on his lots in the Wagg
addition. It will hold about 8000 bar-
rels of oil.
Taylor Brothers drilled in their well
on the Robinson and Daniel lots last
Mondev and shot it. This well is
southeast of the school house and
starts out a good producer.
The Test Oil company drilled in its
No. 12 last Thursday. This well is
on the L. M. Drown lots in the La-
Tourette sub-division aud is a good
one.

ing a test well on the Spess farm

All
the opposition can do is to keep up a j
thinking. The most satisfaction it. can j
get is to stay doggedly unconvinced
in the face of the axiom that figures i
never lie. It has not been written that |
the discovery of this truth also ab- |
solved the man who makes the figures.
Figures are not always what they
seem, even when the basis of them and |
the method of calculation are beyond I
dispute. |
There is contention now between pro- |
ducers of oil and the buyer,

| tistics. The totals here are given from

ers feel that they are not getting I roun^ terms,
enough for their oil. There is only one
buyer. His answer is in figures. Those
figures show that there is too much
oil being produced; more, in fact, than
he can handle; more than he has stor-
age tanks to accommodate. Kansas
and Indian Teritory are in the muck
of it. It is their oil that is not being
handled and it is their oil that is
bringing the lowest market price of
any illuminating oil in any field of the
United States.
One reason advanced for the inade-
quate runs of oil in the Kansas and
[ndian Teritry field is that production
has increased faster than facilities
could be provided. Nothing can be
fairly said to offset that. The low price
of the oil, it is explained, is due to
the quantity which is said to exceed the
total demand. It is a fact that pro-
duction increased in this southwest
country for a few months faster than
pipe lines and outlets for them could
reasonably be supplied. Iu making
!his admission, an arbitrator for the
other side would probably point out
that if oil moved according to the natur-
al order of things, as other products
of thg field move, facilities would not
follow actual production but, of nec-
essity, would anticipate it.
It is said now that there is too much
of this oil coming. That is one reason
for its low price. It is explained that
these new facilities to handle it cost
a great deal of money, another reason
for its low price, Whether there is
too much oil comiag or not is a mat- j All the lasting wells of these develop-

se figures show
that theStandard- Oil Co. increased
its stocks in storage 2,100,000 barrels.
This is at a rate of 6,300,000 a year
and is not a bit staggering. The total
net stocks which the Standard now has
on hand appears to be 27,000,000 bar-
rels. It should be understood also, to
know the worst, that Kansas and In-
dian territory are not having much more
than half their production carried ami
that Kansas and Indian Teritory could
double their present maximum of pro-
duction in six months.
Stopping there would hardly knock
out the claimant of higher prices for
oil and natural activity in the oil fields.
All has not been said. The old fields
of Pennsylvania are declining so fast
that it will take only a few years to
snuff them out. Ohio has probably
reached, if it has not passed its limit
of production. The decline of produc-
ing wells in a settled field is ten per
cent a year; that is, their capacity di-
minishes at that rate. In an old coun-
try like Pennsylvania wells are dying,
like people every day and new wells
are not taking their places. As the
years go on, the number of wells in
Pennsylvania are reduced and with each
year and successive year the number
of dead wells multiply. The decline
of production keeping pace goes on
decreasing in a multiplied ratio each
year. In the new countries of Ken-
tucky and Kansas and Indian Territor-
ity the reversed principle works for
a few vears, but for a few years onlv.
in this method of finance, since it has
varied enormously in different, new
fields, and has never been governed
by actual commercial conditions. One
might point to the Lima field, where
oil, in one district was one time re-
duced to fifteen cents a barrel. That
same district is now paying better
than eighty cents and has been paying
better than one dollar for some years.
When there was fifteen cent oil in
Lima far seeing oil men could figure
the time of an oil famine only a few
years ahead unless new and large pro-
ductions were found. Oil was reduced
to sixty-five cents a barrel in Kentucky
after producers had built their own
line and sold it to the Stan4ard and
that low price was paid when an oil
famine was actually present and when
Standard Oil men acknowledged the
situation grave. Some time within the
same year or eighteen months after
sixty-five cents a barrel was paid in
Kentucky, the price in Kentucky shot
up to something like one dollar a bar-
rel. Within a few months it had ad-
vanced from its low price to better
than a dollar a barrel. Conditions
had not materially changed. It was
only a fear in high places that the
shadows on the sun showed that the
world's oil was giving out and that to
find new fields it would be necessary
to encourage the wildcatting. The
wild catter drilled Kentucky out in his
effort for dollar and twenty cent qjl,
then, he drilled Kansas and Indian
Territory. Now when he is ready to
much considering the magnitude of the
business. It is not much for a billion
dollar concern. One of the calculat-
ors has figured that the increased de-
mand for oil this year will be twelve
million barrels.
A shut down of the Kansas-Indian
Territory wells would wipe out pres-
ent storage in less than five years,
may be much less with the rapid de-
cline in the East and the ever increas-
ing demand. A business man might
be able to figure on how much reserve
he would ordinarily keep as a busi-
ness precaution if he had a business
whose output was from thirty to forty
million barrels a year, markets widen-
ing and supply erratic, with shorten-
ing tendency and dangerous rivalry for
every looming above the horizon. His
limit of stock would probably be the
limit of his purse, especially when
stocks wede cheap.
It is gratitous to talk about an over-,
production of oil. There has not been
any yet. It averages pretty well with
the years. None of it has been turned
to waste and nobody has noticed any
sweeping reduction in kerosene or any
of its by-products. On the contrary
they have .been steadily rising which
would not show a weight of production
against consumption. Kerosene has been
going up while the crude oil has been
going down. Kerosene doubled in val-
ue two years ago and crude oil stayed
down ,not only stayed down but kept
on going down. A shortage of crude
oil three years ago almost drove the
deliver "he gets fifty cents for best ] bigwigs into panic. It must be a ment-
al instead of a physical process that
makes oil appear now in a threaten-
ing flood when the old fields are worse
off than ever and Kansas and Indian
Territory are' only making about a mil-
lion and a half a month, only two-
served stocks three years ago and at jt,lirds of is being carried, just

tucky.
Conditions have not changed. There
is more oil, but the world needs more
oil. The Standard needs more oil. At
the rate its oil was going out of re-
i good one. It started off at about
