the educational history of Chicago and
the country, has drawn wide attention
to the celebration of its quarter-cen
tennial to be held from May 31 to June
6, inclusive. The University author-
ities, acting through a general com
mittee of thirty-^flve members repre-
senting the Board of Trustees, the

OIL VALUE INCREASES; PRODUCT-
ION DECLINES.
Shamrock, O-kla., May 23.—Although
Oklahoma has produced more crude
oil daily during some periods of its
history than is .being produced In the
state at present, yet never before has
the daily production been worth in
money more than it is today. The
market price is the greatest the state
has ever known, the supply is not
sufficient to meet the demand, the
amount of drilling is breaking all
records, and all present Indications
are thai this active development will
continue with the price of crude grad-
ually advancing.
Tne state ot Oklahoma is producing
301,500 barrels of crude oil a day. Tnis
is divided as folows: Cushing and
Shamrock fields combined, 104,000 bar-
rels; Healdton Held, 53,000 barrels,
and the rest of Oklahoma 144,000 bar- j
rels. The Healdton oil is selling at
80 cents a barrel, while that produced j
elsewhere in the state has a market
price of |1.55 a barrel.
Exclusive of Healdton the state is
producing 248,000 barrels a day, which
at $1.56 a barrel has a money value
of $384,000. At 80 cents a barrel the.
Healdton production is worth $42,-
800 a day, or a total money value of all
oil produced in the state of $427,000 a'
day. The value of the oil produced I
in the Cushing and Shamrock fields
daily is $161,200 ,and in the rest of
the state exclusive of Healdton la
$223,300. At the preesut production
per day, Oklahoma is producing $2,-
<>90,400 worth of crude oil weekly.
The ircrease in the value of crude
oil within a year's time is marvelous.
The Oklahoma lields were producing
353,956 (in round number 354,000 bar-
rels) a day In May 1915, a year ago.j
Including the Healdton field which
was producing 4,500 barrels daily. Tihe
price of Healdton oil was 30 cents
a barrel and that produced elsewhere
In Oklahoma 40 cents a barrel. The
increase in the price of crude within
a year is $1.15 a barrel excepting the
Healdton field where the increase
amounts to 50 cents a barrel. The
increase alone, exclusive of Healdton,
is nearly three times what tihe price
per barrel was a year ago.
Exclusive of the Healdton, Oklaho-
ma was producing at the rate of 349-
000 barrels a day, a year ago and
of tht amount the Cushing field was
producing 241,000 barrels. At 40 cents
a barrel, then the market price the
money value of the state's production
was $1«S9.800 a day, which is $244,600
less than the total production today is
worth at $1.55 a barrel. The product-
Ion year ago was 101,150 barrels more
a day than it is at the present time.
The Cushing field, a year ago, was
producing 241,000 barrels a day worth
$96,400 at the market price. Today
the Cushing with its Shamrock ex-
tension is producing 104,000 barrels,
worth $161,200. Or, in other words,
137,000 barrels less oil today is worth
$64,800 more money.
Exclusive of the Healdton field, Ok-
lahoma was producing a total of 10,-
485,000 barrels of oil a month, a year
ago worth $4,154,000 at the then mar-
ket price while today the state is pro-
ducing 7,440,000 barrels a month—3,-
045,000 less barrels—worth $11,532,000
or $7,378,000 more money.
On April 1 this year .according to
official reports, the stocks of oil of the
Mid-Continent field amounted to 81,-
807,921 -barrels, worth $126,802,245 at
$1 .55 a barrel. Of that amount the
Prairie Oil and Gas company, a stand-
ard subsidiary, was credited with hold-
ing 41,250,000 barrels worth $63,937,-
500.
There was no report made on the
amount of oil stored on the leases in
the Mid-Continent field on April 1 and
it is presumed that this had been dis-
posed of. On March 1 there were 11,-
000,000 held on the leases. There has
been a gradual decrease from month
to month since the first of the year.
iW'hen the new year started the
amount of oil held in storage in the
Mid-Continent field was 115,000,000
barrels. Of this vast amount 85,000,-
000 barrels were the property of the
purchasing concerns, principally the
pipe line companies, although the
Prairie Oil and Gas company Iheld
then 40,000,000 barrels. And 30-
000,000 were held by refiners and pro-
ducers. The total in storage was
within 3,000,000 barrels of all the oil
produced in Oklahoma during 1915.
All the oil stored in the Mid-Con-
tinent field, was .stored while oil was
selling at 40 cents a barrel, and but
little of it, if any was stored after the
price of oil began to ascend last Aug-
ust. The 81,800,000 brrels, in storage
April 1, cost $126,790,000 or the in-
rease in value amounts to $94,070,000
or nearly three times the first cost.
The Prairie Oil and Gas company's
40,000,000 barrels, held on January 1,
cost $16,000,000 at 40 cents a barrel
and now at $1.15 It is worth $62,000,-
000 or an increase of 46,000,000. The
Prairie had increased its holdings in
storage by April 1 to 41,250,000 barrels.
Oklahoma produced 118,000,000 bar-
rels gf crude oil in 1915, but that in-
cluded the gusher well period of the
Cushing field. A very conserative es-
timate of the production for 1916 is
250,000 barrels a day, or a total of 91,-
000,000 barrels. This at $1.56 a bar-
rel would have a money value of $141-
437,500. Nor is there a person to be
found that believes crude oil will soon
decrease in price; on the other hand,
oil men as a rule, are predicting an-
other advance in price in the near
future.
OIL DEVELOPMENT AROUND
RIPLEY INCREASING.
.Ripley at present has the appearance
and air of a live oil town. During the
past week there has ben received and
unloaded in the Santa Fe yards here
ten cars of casing, rig material, etc.
and to see the string of teams start
for the north field Is convincing evid-
ence that there is something doing.
At the Georgia well east of town
they are drilling at 650 feet and are
making good progress. The Broyles
wells are both yielding some oil.
But in the north field is where ac-
tivity reigns at present. The Ballard
well is down about 350 feet and the
rig is up on the Chevalier place and
they are waiting for tools. The ma-
terial for the Wagner and Ringgold
wells is being hauled as rapidly as
possible.
Business in Ripley is picking up
some real estate Is changing hands,
some building 'being done- and tli?
general feeling prevails that Ripley
will some day in the near future be a
better and bigger town.
SMALLPOX AND VACCINATION'.
By Dr. John W. Duke, Health Com-
missioner.
The prevention of smallpox depends
primarily upon vaccination secondar-
ily upon isolation and disenfection.
The credit of giving vaccination, the
only snaciflc propihylatic, to the world
|U -hie >-o Jenner, who proved through
'uiefully planned experiments that
cowpox protects against small pox,
and that a person who has had the
mild disease, cowpox, enjoys protect-
ion against the serious and oft times
fatal disease, smallpox.
Jenner made his crucial experiment i
in 1796 when he transferred the vac-
cine matter from the hand of a dairy
maid, which had been scratched with
a ifcorn and was infected with the
cowpox from her master's cows, to
the arm of a boy about eight years old,
and a typical take followed. In order
to ascertain whether the boy after feel-
ing so slight an afection of the cow-
pox virus was secure from the contag-
ion of the smallpox he was Innocu-
lated with variolous matter, immedi-
ately taken from the pustule, and no
disease followed. Several months af-
terwards he was again innoculated
with variolous matter with no bad
effect.
When Jenner proved his thesis to
his own satisfaction he presented the
results of his observations to the Roy-
al Society, of which he was a Fellow,
but the paper was refused, and he was
forced to publish his findings in book
form.
Vaccine viris may be obtained
either from bovine or human sources,
but the latter is seldom used for the
reason that the supply would not be
sufficient in cases of smallpox out-
breaks when it is necessary to vacci-
nate many thousands of people.
Bovine viris has been used more or
less since the time of Jenner, but es-
pecially since Copeman showed in
1811 how to purify it with glycerine.
It also has the great advantage of be-
ing readily obtained in any amount
and when desired.
There is no such thing as a septic
vaccine viris, it always contains bac-
teria, for the active principle has not
been grown in pure cultures. How-
ever the bacteria which contaminates
vaccine viris are ,for the most part,
harmless to man.
They are commonly those that an*
found on and in the akin of the calf
and the non-spore-bearing varieties
are largely eliminated by the process
of ripening.
Avoid Sprint; Colds.
Sudden changes, high winds, shift-
ing seasons cause colds and grippe,
and these spring colds are annoying
and dangerous and are likely to turn
into a chronic summer cough. In
such cases take a treatment of Dr.
King's New Discovery, a pleasant
laxative Tar Syrup. It soothes the
cough, checks the cold and helps
break up an attack of grippe. Its
already prepared, no mixing or fus-
sing. Just ask your druggist for a
bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery.
Tested and tried for over 40 years.
ACQUITTED OF COMPLICITY IX
A ROAD HOUSE KILLING.
H. E. Harrison has been declared
not guilty by a jury in the district
court at Stillwater, where he was
tried on a charge of murder in con-
nection with holding up a road house
on the IPayne county-Creek county
line, about eight miles northwest of
Shamrock, several -months ago. Dur-
ing the hold-up George Dale the man
attacked, was shot and mortally
wounded but returned the fire and
killed Foster Hudson, the other hold-
up man. Harrison was arrested as a
partner of Hudson for killing Dale. The
jury was out fifteen hours.
