OIL NEWS
CRUDE TUMBLES
Crude oil has dropped 50c a barrel, making Oklahoma crude sell
for $3.00. Garber crude brings a dollar to a dollar and a half
premium at its new price is $4 to $4.50 a barrel.
The Prairie pipe-line is continuing to take 70 per cent of the
oil. The Magnolia announce that it will purchase only 50 per cent
of the production in Oklahoma and Texas fields. Big tank farms
are being cleaned up and oil is going into storage.
It was only last fall that the U. S. Bureau of Mines made the
statement that the oil supply would be a thing of the past in fifteen
years. It was only last fall that the Standard Oil caused to be
posted in its filling stations all over the country warnings to auto
users that gasoline was short and to conserve its use.
But the pipe-lines have long been running at capacity. There
is now, even with the let up on drilling, more production than the
lines can handle. The high price of oil has stimulated development
until, with the big slump in demand, it has caused the price of oil
to go down. It is likely to continue to fall until the general busi-
ness conditions of the country improve so that demand again
catches up with production.
CONDENSED REPORTS
The Free States Oil company No. 1 on the Meulin farm, sw-
2G-23-4w, a half mile west of Garber, is drilling at below 1910 feet
and is making good time with the pipe close to bottom. This test
had trouble with crooked pipe last week and started to pull the
Another Test West.
The Sentinel is in receipt of a very
interesting letter that will be pleasing
news, especially to land owners west of
Garber. Below is the substance of the
communication:
"J. H. Stamof Norwich, Kansas, has
recently incorporated the Big Pool Oil
company, under the laws of Oklahoma,
which intends to sink a well near the
center of 33-23-4 west (two and a half
miles west and a half mile south of
Garber.) Mr Stam says that the aban-
doned well on the Jansson farm, (a half
mile south and three-quarters east of
his location,) does not scare him in the
least, as he claims to understand the
formations in this field and also claims
to be located near the center of a big
oil pool for which he has named his
company.
He will drill the well with his own
string of tools and will be personally in
charge of the drilling and will go to
3,000 feet if needed.
He was recently elected vice-presi-
dent of the Butlar Oil & Gas company
which is operating in the Ebing field,
Butlar county, Kansas. This company
has ten wells under the pump, with a
daily production of over 800 barrels."

county officials have captured him in
Nebraska.
Blasdell jumped $20,000 bonds and is
convicted of antomobile stealing on two
charges and sentenced to 27 years in
the penitentiary. If he is captured
there is spoliation as to whether he
will be brought back to Enid to
stand trial for numerous other auto
stealing charges or whether he will bt
taken direct to McAllester.
County commissioners posted a $500
reward for Blasdell. It was long sup'
posed that he had made his escape to
Mexico or South America but it seems
if the reports are true, that he has been
in hiding in the Osage country.

Joe Cranny of Charlotte, Iowa, re-

of course is every property owner.

the new price for a battery for your car.
Wonder why the street lights on the
side streets are not put in? Some said
that the delay was to dodge the 1920
taxes on the whole line out from Enid
as taxesare not collectable on unfinished
construction. Rumor also says that the

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Most of the Gas Companies throughout the country use fleets of
Ford Runabouts. The same is true of other big corporations. The
reasons are very practical. The Ford Runabout is the most econom-
ical solution of quick transportation from manufacturer to retailer.
For soliciting business, for the Collector, for the Doctor, Contractor,
Builder, and almost every other line of business activity, the Ford
Runabout is really a necessity. We solicit your motor accessory
business. We can serve you, we believe, to your best advantage. And
bring your Ford cars to us for replacements and repairs because you
will get the skilled workman and the genuine Ford parts.
