THE MONTH'S RESULT
JVLY SHOWS ANTICIPATED SLUM I'
IN FIELD OPERATIONS.
\
Creek Nation Alone Show* an Increased
Activity.-Oklahoma Division Make*
• Very Meager Showing.-Uncertainty
of Oil Market the Cause of the Slump.
With continued uncertainties as re-
gards lease matters, the cut id oil
price? and a chaotic condition of every
thing in general as pertains to oil af-
fairs, there was less work done in the
Territory field during the month of
July than for several months past and
the indications are that there will be
less during August. According to
figures gathered from the several dis-
tricts, there were 305 wells completed
in June, while July showed but 254. a
slump of fifty-one wells and a short-
age in new production of 3819 barrels.
This is not to be wondered at. Were
it not for the peculiar conditions at-
tached to leasing in Indian Territory
the slump would be much greater as
no considerable amount of the pro-
duction is being taken and most of
the drilling is on land where the lease
calls for the completion of a certain
number of wtlls in a given time.
The Creek nation is coming into the
lime light with some immense pro-
ducers, wells with an initial produc-
tion of from 1500 to 2000 barrels being
cummon. The pool is gradually wid-
ening; and extending south, until ap-
pearances are that the Mounds pool
will be one of the greatest producers
In either Territory. In Oklahoma
there is nothing new that is worthy
of any considerable mention. At Go-
tebo, where much leasing has been
done, the drilling has been of a desul-
tory character and has not resulted in
any astonishing discoveries. A num-
ber of extra good wells have been
brought in in the Osage reservation,
but wildcatting has not resulted very
satisfactorily.
In the Bartlesville district of the
Cherokee the bringing in of a second
big well for the Independence Oil and
Gas company, on the Walter H.
Walker allotment, 9-26-13, east of
Bartlesville, seems to prove the exist-
ence of a considerable pool in that
direction and a number of wells are
being drilled, or are contracted for on
surrounding leases. There is a
notable cessasion of work in the Co-
pan and Weber pools and there will
be little work done during August. In
the shallow sand district most of the
work done was in offsetting and drill-
ing on unimproved leases. The cut
of 4 cents in oil prices has had a very
depressing effect on operators and
operations are comparatively at a
standstill. Following is a summary
of work in July, as compared with
June:

Republicans Make Heap Mediclne.-The
Johnstone Boom Revamped.—Mc(iuire
Force. Dominate the Deliberation, of
fathering, Yet 'All Wn Harmony."
With beating of tomtoms and
sound of hewgags the big Republican
gathering in Bartlesville has passed
into history. The executive commit-
tee of Indian Territory and other
guests arrived Monday evening and
Tuesday morning and the banquet at
the Almeda, Monday night, was one
of the biggest events of like character
ever pulled off in Bartlesville. From
every city and hamlet in Indian Ter-
ritory, apparently, came one or more
representatives of the party, while the
politicians of Oklahoma furnished a
little excitement and caused some
guess work as to what wire was
to be pulled. Governor Frantz was
here and during the course of the ban-
quet Hon. W. P Freeman, toastmast-
er, in introducing Col. George W.
Murphy, took occasion to refer to
Governor Frantz as "the first gov-
ernor of the future state of Okla-
homa. ' This bit of politics was in-
stantly siezed upon as an indirect an-
nouncement of the candidacy of Mr.
Frantz for the Republican guber-
natorial nomination and was cheered
to the echo.

10:47 in the persons of Governor and
Secretary Orville Frantz, together
with a number of Kansas politicians,
among whom was Col. Dick Blue, who
came to Bartlesville to reside, in the
afternoon the trains from the south
carried representatives from Okla-
homa and Indian Territory and the
nigftt trains also poured into the city
a large number of visitors. The ar-
rival of Governor Frantz was a sig-
nal for the gathering of the members
of the Bartlesville Republican club
Beaded by the Merchant's band the
body marched to the depot and acted
as an escort of honor for Oklahoma's
chief executive and his party. At the
Almeda hotel an Informal reception
was held. Later P. L. Soper, nation-
al committeeman for Indian Territory:
Judge Raymond, Colonel Douglas, of
Muskogee: Judge Buford, Hon. Harp-
er Cunningham, Dennis Flynn, Mayor
Frank Hubbard, of Muskogee and
other dignitaries arrived and stood in
the lime light for a time. Delegate
McGuire was expected but probably
beard that Dennis Flynn had headed
this wav and decided to remain by his
own fireside. Prior to the Almeda
banquet speeches were made by
Colonel Blue and Dennis Flynn, in
front of the hotel. Here several hun-
dred people had gathered preparatory
to the banquet. Preparations had
been made for the accommodation of
200 guests about the festal board, but
it did not necessitate a count of noses
to ascertain that 300 at least must be
accomodated. Landlord Cooper and
assistants soon had the additional
tables, chairs and other utensils and
at 10:30 the visitors filed into the din-
ing room, there being at least 200 of
them. Then the local Republicans,
with a few Democrats, invited guests,
were seated. Hon. W. P. Freeman,
of South McAlester, clerk of the court
of appeals, acted as toastmaster and
made a short talk on topics political,
then introducing Governor Frantz,
principal speaker for the evening.
His subject was "The Forty-Sixth
Star." While there was considerable
politics injected into the theme, the
oration consisted primarily in a re-
view and laudation oi the resources of
Oklohoma and her splendid citizen-
ship. The remarks of Governor
frantz were interspersed with tumult-
ous applause from beginning to end.

A HARMONIOUS BLENDING.
Rival Republican Organizations Become
Reconciled to Each Other.
After numerous conferences, argu-
ments and threats, the Bartlesville
Republican club and the Roosevelt
Republican club were united under
one banner, at a joint meeting of the
executive, committees, held Friday
evening and ratified by both clubs at
meetings held Saturday evening.
To say that the Republican leaders
are feeling "fine" would be putting it
mildly. They simply hugged them-
selves with delight when the plans
laid had been accomplished. As is
well known by all persons who were
here during the municipal campaign
* ~ ' illi
last spring, a number of Republicans
and Democrats placed an independent
ticket in the field, known as the "Citi-
zens ticket" and this was in opposi
tion to the Republican ticket, nomi
nated later, after a confercnce of the
leaders and termed a "slate." The
result was an overwhelming defeat for
the regular Republican ticket and a
bitter feeling among the Republican
brethern thus engendered resulted in
the formation of the Roosevelt Re-
publican club. The assertion was
made that there would be no reconcil-
iation. no compromise and no ;recog-
nition of the "anarchists, insurgents
and eastern upstarts," but as the new
ciub held the balance of power
the old, overtures were made, looking
to a reorganization, which wa9 ac-
complished on the following basis:
William Johnstone to be retained as
president of the Bartlesville IleDubli-
dub: the Roosevelt Republican club
to have the naming of the first and
third vice presidents, secretary and
eight of the fourteen executive commit-
teemen of the new club. When the
The action was the result of a
lengthy opinion given by Judge John
J. Shea on the matters of differences
existing between the city and the com-
pany. The principal point" covered
by the opinion were whether or not the
company has the right to charge the
city for the necessary connections with
the mains; whether or not the city can
demand purified or filtered water, and
whether or not the consumer has the
right to use water for his lawn, barn
or stock without paying house rates
for the same, under the ordinance
granting the company's franchise
In answering these questions Judge
Shea stated that in his opinion the
company has the right to charge the
city with the expense of making con-
nection with the mains. Under the
company's charter the city has the
right to appoint an inspector to see
that the water is properly filtered, and
if he finds that it is not, then the city
may rightfully retain all money due
the'water company until it strictly
complies with this part of the con-
tract.
Answering the question of rates for
water used for the lawn, stable or the
watering of stock, the opinion states
that the consumer desiring water for
these purposes has the right to have
the service installed upon tendering
the company the rates fixed in the or-
dinance for one quarter in advance,
oO cents being the advance payment
for one quarter for water for a lawn,
the same amount for a cow and $1
dollar for a private barn.
The company will be legally noti-
fied to this effect and if the reforms
are not immediately instituted the city
will be justified in taking action to
have the contract existing between the
city and the company set aside.
Considerable humor was injected in-
to the proceedings when it was sug-
gested by Councilman Iseli, at the re-
quest of the plumbers, that the work of
Plumbing Inspector Boyd be subject-
ed to inspection, it being urged that
while all of the inspector's work was
subject to the approval of the city en-
gineer it was, notwithstanding, sub-
jected to no real Inspection by the lat-
nPfioiaI Pnnneilman Shedd was
him within ten days the council would
proceed, under the provisions of the
Curtis law, to build the sidewalk and
charge the <expense of same against
the property. A similar petition was
presented by citizens and property
owners residing on the west side of
Osage, between Third and Fourth
streets and the matter was referred to
the street and alley committee with
instruction to proceed in the same
manner as in the case of Mr. Chasteen.
The mayor was authorized to ap-
point a committee of three to investi-
gate the probable expense of the va-
rious city departments for the present
year and recommend the rate of tax-
ation for 1906. Messrs. Delemater,
Charvoz and Shedd were appointed
on this committee.
The Mayor reported that he had
prepared the necessary petition ask-
ing for the establishment of the free
delivery of mails and had turned
same over to the postmaster to be for-
warded to the Postmaster General at
Washington.
