I'urlng the hearing at llaVtlesvllle

I ill-seller general manager of the
(Jim paw (ias i mny that at least
f-Mi.iNNi.INMl worth of gas had been
wasted In the Ciishlng field alone

Idescher Is said lo ls one of the lasit
IMisied men on ..II and gas conditions
In Oklahoma ami figures ssMired by
him wen used In siisrt of the ga
conservation hill In the legislature
last winter.
Order Kx peeled Soon
The commission will as stain after
the hearings a possible make an or-
der seeking to conserve the supply of
gas much after the same manner aa
its efforts In conserving the oil aup-
ply of the Ileahltoti field. The prin-
ciple of conserving gas Ih similar to
that In the oil Industry and they are
Is.th rcsourcea of the ntate. The pnn
is'sh of conservation may differ
slightly. It was augistisl by Mr.
Mesiiier in tlie hearing at Hartlea-
vllle that the system of using nnd
latlen fitttct trr pat klw wftf a a- iw wrttar-
la adnpt.Hi generally over the gaai
field of the slate. The eonimtsalon '
waa gelling tlie lsst advice of ex-
srts as to what priM-ess shnnhl la
used In k.s'plng the gas from going
Into the air. ;
It Is said that the greatest waste
of gas cotncs fr tlie oil well.
Where a well Is Mug drilled for oil 1
and gas Is encountered first. It la not
capssl but Hie gas allowed to blow
off and the drill Is sent to strata Is--neiith
for the oil. In this way mil-
lions of feel of gas have las'u allowed
to escape.
Al various times prediction have
Iss'ii made hy tnH curators Hint at
the rale Hie gas atipply Wa Isilug
consumed that Is with the waste and
actual consumption certain poola fur-
nishing the biggest supply would bo
exhausted In a few years. When tho
statement Is made that the public I
getting the Is-ncflt of not mre than -1(1
mt cent of the amount of ga that
comes from the ground It may be
seen Just how- Important It I for
some action to conserve tlie supply
and ktsqi It in (he ground Is fore It la
t.si lute. So far a the evidence In-
dicates the matter of conserving the
gas supply Is more Imisirtant If m-
slble. than restricting tho production
of oil.
PeMjW Interval First
Commissioner llelishaw said yester-
day that every phase of the ga In-
dustry would lie ctiiikiilc red lu the ac-
tion to be taken hv the commission
ami that above all the Interests of tlm
state who are the most vitally con-
conccriicil In the gas supply will la
safeguarded whatever Is dona.
Itelallve to the condition tn the
llcubltoii field following the estah-
luhllshincnl of a new system In ac-
ootilainc with the rules of the com-
mission in restricting the pnsluctlon
of oil. Commissioner llelishaw aay
every oil man in the field Is well sat-
isfied. When tlie rule was eiifon-ed
as to everyone equitably and the pro-
din lion was restricted to market de-
uiainls the real effect of the new law-
were dcveto'tl.
It Is Is llcved a similar order in the
