The deceased was a daughter of G.

Railroad Officials Visit Gas Field.
Superintendent Linsman of the south-
west division, with head quarters at
Little Rock, and his private secretary,
and a Mr. Lee of the same city; Divis-
ion Superintendent McCall of Chicka-
sha, and several others, were visitors at
the gas field Tuesday. The party was
chaperoned by S. J. Lea, manager for
the New State Oil and Gas Company.
They left for the east in their private
car Wednesday morning.
Killing At Granite.
Friday nigHt Leonard Hamilton, a
stone cutter of Granite, was shot and j
killed by his wife, Hamilton was in-
toxicated at the time and was making
an assault upon the woman with a
razor,
The sheriff investigated the affair and
as it was a clear case of self-defense he
made no arrest.
Platting Townsite Addition.
The Gotebo Land and Townsite
Company have a corps of surveyors at
work laying off a portion of the Smith
quarter into blocks and lots.
The company intends running an ex-
cursion into Gotebo about the 25th
from Wichita and will probably put
some of the property on the market at
that time.
The opportunities for investment at
this place are many, and a determined
effort will be made to induce men of
capital to establish manufacturing,en-
terprises here which present attractive
features by reason of abundant raw
materials and cheap fuel.
ur success is in keeping good goods and marking
in plain figures one price for all. We have no
pets. The stranger's dollar goes as far as any
with us.
We want your business, and THE DIXIE is entitled to it, for everyone knows
that the I HE DIXIE STORE keeps prices down. They are hard competitors, but ,
"competition is the life of trade," and that is what you want. You can feel safe in
coming to a town where there is a DIXIE STORE, for we keep posted on prices.
We are always the leaders of low prices. We thank you for your iberal patronage
we are already getting and waiting your favors for the future.
Very Respectfully,
THE DIXIE.

Mow The Weeds.
Gotebo should cleaa up its streets
and alleys, mow the weeds and get in
shape to look its best when the excur-
on comes.
BRICK PLANT WELLA GOOD ONE
Showing Strong Pressue Which Is
I ncreasing.
The well put down by the Gotebo Oil,
Gas and Pressed Brick Company on the
Carpenter place, adjoining town, was
drilled in Friday and the packer and
tubing set. The well is a good one and
with the one exception shows the heav-
iest pressure in the field. A gauge was
put on the well which showed a square
inch pressure of 155 pounds. The
Whitewater has one that shows 160
pounds. While this is not a marve.lous
pressure compared to the heavy wells
of the Kansas gas belt, its pressure and
valume, depth considered, 1435 ft. I make
it a remarkably valuable one. Its pro-
duction will be used for burning brick.
Since the above was put in type the
pressure in this well has been increasing
rapidly and on Tuesday the gauge
showed 185 pounds pressure which
easily makes it the best well in the field.
New State Elects Officers.
The following officers were elected at
a meeting Tuesday of the directors of
the New State Oil and Gas Company.
Dr. Williams, president; Arthur
Denman, vice-president: W. C. Kelsav,
secretary and treasurer; S. J. Lea, gen-
eral manager. The above officers and
C. Cohen constitute the board of di-
rectors.
The company is now drilling for
production and have about 4,000,000
cubic feet daily gas production which
they will pipe to Hobart.
WITH THE OIL MEN.
The field is showing evidence of con-
siderable activity.
C. Cohen and Arthur Dennman were
here from Sedan, Kans., this week
I looking after their oil and gas interests.
S. J. Lea and Dr. Williams were
here from Chickasha this week looking
after the developemnt work for the
New State.
The New State Oil and Gas Com-
pany have a well drilling on the south-
east of 12, 6, 17. The New State has
been successful in its drilling and if
nothing happens will soon be selling
Gotebo gas to the people of Hobart.
The Gotebo Oil, Gas and Pressed
Brick Company have another well
drilling on the Carpenter farm which
they recently purchased. They have
the best well in the field on the place,
and there is no reason why they should
not get another as good, if not better.
The Progressive Territory To Shine
At The Jamestown Exposition.
In line with the leading states of the
Union, Oklahoma, the progressive ter-
ritory and prospective new state, will
{articipate in the Jamestown Exposi-
tion, at Norfolk Virginia, next year.
Wherever Oklahoma has made an ex-
hibit at an exposition it was creditable
and drew favorable attention to that
territory, hence if is safe to assume that
the Oklahoma exhibit at the Jamestown
Exposition will be worthy of that pros-
pective state. A choice site has been
selected by Gov. Frantz at the Exposi-
tion ground for the Oklahoma building
and work will begin as soon as the
plans have been decided upon. Gov.
Frantz describes the Oklahoma site as
admirable. It hae a slight elevation
and overlooks the historic waters of
Hampton Roads. The Oklahoma build-
ing at the Exposition will probably be
' of a colonial design and will be a per-
menant structure, thus saving the ter-
( ritory from loss in its disposition after
j the Exposition is over.
Oklahoma is anxious to show the
east what up-to-date territory can do in
the way of an exhibit. The Jamestown
Exposition will present the desired op-
portunity and Oklahoma will shine in
all of her glory, displaying products
which will make many of the old states
green with envy, for* Oklahoma is so
wonderfully rich in resources that the
outside world has no comprehension of
what she has.
It is singularly appropriate that the
territory which is still the home of the
remnants of some of the great Indian j
tribes of the past, shoald participate in I
an international exposition on the shores |
of Hampton Roads, where in years |
gone by, the most powerful Indian I
tribes lived and perished. It is also ap- j
propriate that Oklahoma, the most pro- i
e;ressive of commonwealths should be
seen at the great exposition to comj
I memorate the first permanent English
| settlement in America and the three
centuries of American progress.
I One of the peculiar features of the oil
and gas wells drilled in this field is that
their production is increasing instead of
decreasing. Oil wells that were con-
sidered as non-paying are now being
pumped with profit. In fact several
that were utterly abandoned are stand-
ing full of oil and will make from eight
to ten barrels per week. Gas wells have
doubled in pressure and volume. The
New State has a well that has increas-
ed in pressure from 65 to 130 pounds.
The Pressed Brick Company have one
that showed 120 pounds when drilled
in that now is close to the 200 pound
mark. The Whitewater have two that
have increased in pressure from 100 to
160 pounds, and this while the gas from
them has been constantly in use. This
increase is proven by tests with the
Pitot tube.
