Weaver Test
The farmers east of town are to con-
gratulated on securing such a splendid
drilling outfit as Braden lias on t'.e
Weaver (arm. Many people were
skeptical about this company and
claimed the rig would be old junk
brought out from Enid to hold the
leases, but a visit, to the test well dis
pels such conjectures. There is no
finer or complete string of tool in the
state than is strung on the northwest
corner of the se 23 23 3 west, live miles

In another week or ten days the

A report was sent out over the coun-

was a fake as only a pocket of gas had
been entered. No gas of consequence

Economy Location
I he location for the Economy test
on the block of leases centering a-
round the Ed (let* farm, live miles
north of town, has not been made
public. They have until July 8th to
spud in. Some suppose they are wait-
ing for the developments of the other
tests.
Geologists
Geologists are still working in this
section! and the khaki ciad young
fellows are a common night. However
they are not as numerous as when a

geologists met four other parties of

Elmer E. Way
Assessor Candidate
In this issue of the Sentinel appears
the announcement of Elmer E. Way,
a prominent farmer residing seven
m les south and one west of (iarber,
who solicits the support of the repub-
licans of Gatlield c uity for the nom
ination of County Assessor, subject to
the primary election August the 8th,
next. Mr. Way was bom in Republic
County, Kansas, December 10, 1869,
where he spent his youth and young
manhood and, at the opening of
the Cherokee Strip, September 1(1, 1893,
he made the race Into the new country
and staked a homestead three miles
from Covington upon which he now
resides. In 1894 he was married to
Miss Anna Kornele in Enid and six
line native born Oklaho mans since
blessed the union, He is honest, able
and energetic, having applied himself
to the business of farming with such
success that he has since added two
quartets in all.
Mr. Way served as trustee for Otter
township for two terms, was on the
township school board seven year"
and assessed Otter township five times
all of which indicates that he not only
holds the respect and confidence of
Ins neighbors, but that he possesses
the requisite ability to properly per-
form the duties of assessor of Garfield
county. In other words, his expert
ence in his home surroundings qualify
him for the larger duties of the county
job and his friends and neighbors
have not the slightest doubt that if lie
i9 nominated and elected he will make
the county a most creditable official.
Mr, Way says that if lie is elected
assessor of Garfield county he will dli-
charg") his duties fairly and Impartial-
ly with equity to all. In this connect-
ion it would ha well to consider that
farmers of the county should have a
good tepresentatlon on the republican
county ticket in order that it may be
most satisfactory all around, and in
offering himself Mr, Way embodies
some of the best timber to be found In
the county.
The *kntinkl feels certain that the
people of Garfield county will give due
consideration to the candidacy of Mr.
Way.
Hoy Test
Much impatience is registered about
the delay at the Hoy test, on the north
corner of the ne 25 22 4 west, five miles I daughter
Prospects
Never have the prospects looked
brighter for oil than at this time. Tha
recent finding of gas under 500 feet id
the Humphrey test northeast of Bill-
lugs is a splendid Indication that the
anticlines of this section all contain
the "grease."
Other Tests
Rumors of tests are very common
and It Is likely other teats will soon be
started near the Hoover gasser,
Joe Friend visited the Hoover test
today and he thinks they are down
about 2,0i*) feet.
south of Garber, The rig has been up
several weeks but that is as far as the
work has progressed. The Chanute
Refining company state that as soon
as the casing can be located they will
ship a contractor who will bring a
boiler and a string of tools. There is
no doubt that big pipe iB hard to ob-
tain as Tulsa papers tel1 of many wells
waiting on large casing.
Farmers Pleased
The farmers who gave their leases
i drilling propositions are feeling
much better since they see that it is
only where land was leased on drilling
contracts that tests are going down.
A Friend of SO Years Ago
Mrs. G. W. Sager had as a guest over
Suqday, Mrs. E. R, Wilson, of Ring-
wood, Oklahoma. These ladies were
close neighbors and frlendB fifty years
ago in Illinois. Mrs. Wilson's step
was an intimate friend of
Mrs. bager, Although they lived only
forty miles apart since the opening of
Cherokee "Strip" to settlement in 1893
neither knew it until Mrs. Sager visit-
ed the old home in Illinois last fall
and learned that Mrs. Wilson bad
lived almost a neighbor to her for
nearly twenty three year.
All But Three.

forms us. There is only three in the

and they are Geo. Shreiber, Joe Robis-

ially good and a surprise to everybody.
