GARBER OKLAHOMA THURSDAY MARCH 18 1926 VOL XXVII
EDITOR TALKING
Development of oil in the Garber pool is said to be marking
time at this date while initial wells are going down in new terri-
tory that when completed will again renew activities as it has
repeatedly done since development started
Viewing this wonderful field from the south boundaries of our
city an observer would scrcely use the descriptive terms "Mark-
ing Time" as it presents a scene of wonderful activity As has
been frequently described at night with its hundreds of derricks
gleaming from crown-block to base with electric lights it is a sight
worth traveling some distance to witness while on a cold clear
morning with the wind in the northwest and the sun's rays reflect-
ed from ascending gas and steam from all over the field as it aris-
Cs and drifts to the southeast as if from heated caldrons and as if
it were a natural phenomina without the intervention of man it
more than rivals the "Land of Ten Thousand Smokes" so vividly
pictured and described in the "Graphic Magazine" where volcanic
action in Alaska has in recent years burst thru the fetters of arc-
ec ice in quite an extended area and converted it into a vast field
of natural activity beautiful to behold but which nevertheless
is not pouring a tide of wealth into the lap of civilization as the
Garber pool is now doing
We have always been so qptomistic in our claims concerning
the possibilities of the pools of oil in and around this City of Gar-
ber that the average citizen classed all such as visionary but
from time to time wonder took the place of derision when reality
far exceeded our most fanciful expectations There is no future
in the minds of those who possess no vision and to those devoid of
such the present prescribes the boundaries of their observations
Ever since oil has been discovered this class of citizens have been
assuring us from time to time that "the field was blowed up" while
more and deeper producing sands have been struck and the volume
of oil has been increased and when a very large area of production
is finally discovered it will finally be realized that we at this time
have only scratched the surface and started up the trend of production
Yision today in the minds of men capable of such is the only
hope of our civilization Opportunity knocks only on the doors of
those possessing vision without which mankind can as well belong
to the monkey branch of creation Our builders of that higher civ-
ilization into which we are just beginning to emerge are necessar-
ily possessed of that higher attribute as every element of nature
with all its latent forces combined with all its material weaelth
must be brot into requisition and to that end we are required to
school our children to that higher intellectuality necessary to meet
such requirements We need Herbert Hoovers in every depart-
ment of government and the management of our entire industrial
3ystem and we are also in need of a Dawes at the head of every leg-
islative branch of government to break thru the fossilized forms
of precedent so that govrnment itself will keep abreast of the
times wherein individual initiative leads the world
Some five or six years ago while out on a little trip with cur
son Kay Peters he took us to a little branch of Red Rock creek a
couple of miles west of Bllings and showed us over a trPct of land
12ich he assured us that in time would be found to be oil bearing
tt-at by close observation he had discovered markings that other
geologists had ever-looked that by his famillari'ly with this vici-
nity he had discovered and that solve day he would try to get the
company ie was working for (The Fagar Oil Company) to drill
en that acreage To further assure himself of the correctness of
his findings with improved instruments he had lately received he
again went over that section and was pleased to find that the
markings brot to finer reckoning verified his former eStimates
when he again assured us that in a few yeares a large number of
derricks would decorate tha t landscape
Failing & Lawson have been drilling there for some time and
it :s now reported they have a well full of oil and are preparing
tanks to receive same after which they will drill i t in which event
will occur sometime this week
The finding of the Thomas pool and now of this pool above
mentionel Kay worked on the theory of tracing tho "Granite
Ridge" of geologic acclaim and find the high points coming up
from this sub-surface mountain With the Pennsylvania series of
rocks and the more recent Permian or Red Beds covering the
same to great depths it required a most careful reading of any sur-
face markings while core drilling was required to be of great depth
to find reliable markings that would give any assurance of possi-
ble structure
His geological work was accomplished before any core-drilling
had been done and his company took advantage of the knowledge
of his findings to possess themselves of the promising acreage and
now another pool is to be opened up and his company enriched ac-
cordingly This pool is likely to connct up with the Alarland-Garber
pool northwest of town provide the summit of the granite ridge
has carried up to sufficient heights strata porus or open enough to
be oil-bearing such as the Wilcox sand or selecious lime lower
down
The opening of this pool will not only be additional wealth for
some of the best citizens of Garber but will be an incentive to drill
on more acreage nearer Garber
The forces of Nature imprisoned in volume and power untold
Are greater in value than diamonds or cities with paving of gold
For if man can unlock and subdue them they'll slave for him ever
and toil
So instead of preparing for Heaven he's digging down after the

Sherman's Departure
Fourteen years ago Mr and
Mrs Tim Sherman bought what '
is now called the Sherman Hotel a
building that at that time was on 11
the lot across the alley from this a
It office where the Krivohlavek ware
house now stands They moved
a it to Its present location facing
this office across the street and put
a it on a good foundation They
a planted trees and flowers and
a vines And the trees grew in
grandeur and beauty that would
a rival the proverbial "Green Bay
a Tree!' And the flowers blossom-
ed in profusion amidst abundant
a vines and shrubs And the birds
a seeking nesting places builded
a their homes in the branches of
a those trees and hi the profuson
a of coolest of shade resplendent
a with beauty and bloont And the
a old fossil on the office across the
a way on hot summer days pined to
a share the cool shade with Tim
a as he reclined on a couch in lux
urious comfort and dreamed the
I hours away And travelers when
beholding such inviting efiviron
ment in this splendid oasis on hot
a summer days stopped in such
a numbers it became a difficult mat
a ter to get rid of the overflow And
when they had feasted on Mrs
Sherman's delicious cooking ft a
a became so diflieult to get rid of
a some customers that it required
all the persuasive power that Tim
a possessed assisted at times by
his strong right arm and a heavy
a boot to make way for the heads of a
a the columns that at meal time filed
right and left around Mrs Sher
a mans tables
a In the course of human events
fourteen years Is a long time hut
everything has finally an ending
a And now the Sherman's have sold
a out while in protest the very trees
a they perfected in growth are rfus
ing to open up their folage and
the birds 'are'ehanting requiems in '
a song expressive of their sorrow
And the old fossil across the way
has shed so many tears that the
Sentinel has lately been goiing out
dampened thereby to its many pa
trons
a Such love for birds and flowers
a however inpossible it may appear
a exhibits with certainty a poetic
a propensity in any individual and
a herever they may go (and we a
a hope they will not leave Garber)
a trees will grow and flowers will a
a bloom and the birds will discover
a their old-time friends as they ar
a rive from their long journey front
the Southland but weary travel-
ers will be required to seek hos
pitality Isewhere as Mr and Mrs
a Sherman have finally retired from a
a such life

In some parts of the State It
is repoeted that geeenbugs have
made their appearance in some of
the wheat fields
These pests spread rapidly when
they get started and a great deal
of damage can be done to the wheat
in a short time when they appear in
large numbers as was the case a few
years back The first signs of their
appearance may be detected by the
appearance of light green or yellow-
ish spots usually circular in shape
and which later turn brown very of-
ten in the wheat field As soon a!
theses spots are seen they should be
plowed deeply and harrowed as this
is the best and most practical way of
controlling the greenbug and keep It
from spreading Usually the spots
are very small so as to make this
method very practicable Nicotine
Sulphate or Black Leaf Forty can al-
so be used on these spots but this is
too expensive a method where no
spots are very large

In the proven area new wells are
being drilled in almost v!ry day in
shallow and deep sarele Frequently
—
a well intended to be put down to the
deep sands is started and at almost
any depth a shallower sand is found
that gives surprising production
In the Mauland-Garbelr well 2
miles' northeast of town they have
gotten down with the rotary to the
top of the casing left in the well
when cement was run in by which
means it is expected to divert drill
to one side and continue the hole to
bettom 800 or 1 000 foot
West of town 3 1-2 miles the Roxana-Brunken
is down 860 feet with
rotary
Until some of the wells being drill-
ed in new terrillory reaches produc-
tion the fields around Garber will
nothing sensational altho a
444ti-oe more new wells are being
staked in proven territory
The following clipped from Enid
Meaning News gives more in detail
tis follows:
The eyes of the oil world today are
on north-central Oklahoma western
Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle
With the shallower sands of the Gar-
ber pool continually showing for more
production all high gravity oil more
and more attention is being centered
on what this immediate section of
Oklahoma will produce
News that the Mid-Continent Pe-
troleum corporation and Marland Oil
company No 62 school land No 64 a
Layton sand test originally was pro-
ducing oil from atfound 2770 feet
right on top cf the finding of oil in
the Roxana Petroleum company No
6L Schroeder makes the possibilities
of shallower sand production appear
all the more encouraging
It was not learned here Wednesday
night the exact houtly production of
the No 62 sellocl land latt it was re-
ported to be doing around 70 barrels
an hour This would indicate it was
in the top re the Ho(ver sand series
Schroeder Has New Sand
No 6L Schroeder topping a new
eand at 30i31 feet appeaes to hay:b
o3ened up a now level for develop-
ment Ireretofere no sand found at
this level has produced It was said
Wednesday to have started off pro-
ducing at the rate of 125 barrels an
hours and then to have settled to ap-
proximated one-third this prinduction
It was predicted that the develop-
ments this wool would resultin the
drilling of at least a score of- new -
tests in the pool proper It alsc -
2aTe1ted that territory near the pool
else would le exploited for oil at these
new levels
All this levelopment qoming on
top of what already is going on in the
county in the way cf wildcatting and
drilling in the Garber pool makes
things look most encouraging from
an oil develoriment standpoint for
Garfield county
