OIL NEWS
ELECTRIFYING OIL FIELDS I of 950 feet. A crew of men have been
The Exchange Oil Co. in the Garber j to work for sevwal days rigK'ngupand
field are now down to the 2100-foot
sand on the Denker No. 14. This is a
cable tool rig and has the distinction of
being the first cable tool well drilled by
■electric motor in the Garber field.
This company drilled a well on this
same lease, using a rotary rig, on which
they saved several thousand dollars by
the use of an electric motor.
This method of drilling has come to
stay as the Exchange company are go-
ing to drill a well on the Murphy lease.
The rig will be started within a few
days. The motor equipment for these
wells was furnished by the Westing-
house company.
The Roxana company are going to
drill by electric motor on a lease six
miles from Guthrie. This is a wildcat
and the electric lines are now being run
to the lease. The motors for this oper-
ation are being furnished by the Gen-
eral Electric company.
It is reported that the well to be
drilled by the Gladys-Belle company,
two miles southeast of Enid, will be
drilled by electric motor.
The Exchange Oil company had made
extensive plans for motorizing the Gar-
ber field, but on account of the general
tightening of the mone/ market, this
plan has been abandoned for awhile or
until such time as conditions permit.
The electric power furnished to the
towns of Garber and Covington, also to
the Garber oil field, comes from Okla-
homa City and is furnished by the
Oklahoma Gat & Electric company,
who have their main generating station
there and is delivered to Enid over 100
niles of tranamission line, at 66,000
volts, it is then traniformed to 13,000
volts, which ii delivered to the towns of
Garber and Covington.
The electric plant at Enid ia always
hekl in readiness with steam up in case
of an interruption of the high line ser-
vice.
This company has made a very fine
record, the service being off only about
two hour* in the whole time it has fur-
nished power for these towns at the
same time saving them money as they
(urnish power cheaper than the towns
could generate electricity themselves.
an effort will be made without delay to
deepen the hole and by this time next
week they expect to have made con-
siderable progress.
The closing down of many industries
with the dropping price of almost every-
thing has caused a lessening of activity
in even the oil fields altho the demand
for oil has not lessened, especially the
Garber high-grade. Notwithstanding
the big companies in this field have
laid off quite a percent of their produc-
tive force and only where conditions
are such that a heavy loss occurs where
certain work is not performed at a given
time, is there anything being djne in
development work.

Odd Fellows ATTENTION: Com-
mencing Saturday evening, there will
be a short business meeting in the new
hall each meeting night at 7:30, so as to
be ready for regular meetings as soon as

Street Commissioner Mayhew is cer-
tainly shaping up our streets properly.
He expects to continue work on them
until they are all evened up so that
mudholes will become impossible. The
transformation in front of and south
from the Red Bail garage on Main
street clear to the ssetion line is cer-
tainly pleasant to contemplate after be-
ing almost impassabls at rainy periods
for years. If he keeps on Main street
will become a boulevard andapisassnt
drivs instead of a dangerous passage.

THE UNIVERSAL/CAR
The Garden farmer will find the Ford Model T One Ton Truck an especially
valuable factor in his business because of the flexibility as well as the reliability
of the service given by this splendid truck. The worm-drive of manganese
bronze carries all the power of the motor to driving the Truck, and there are com-
bined in larger and heavier form all the elements which have made the Ford
Model T Car the greatest motor car in the world in point of service. The Ford
Truck with its worm-drive is most economical in operation and maintenance.
There is very little, if anything, to get out of order at any time; there is the sim-
plicity in control; there is the convenience in the flexibility of the car, it will turn
in a circle of forty-eight feet; it accommodates itself to narrow alleys, and it
"stands the gaff" of hard work day after day, and month after month, to the
great satisfaction of the owner. There is hardly a line of business activity where
the Ford One Ton Truck is not really a necessity. Come ia and talk.it over.
