LONG STRIIJG FINISHED WELLS
OFFICIAL INFORMATION IN II
Pulse of Activity Is Quickened As
Two Wells on East Side Show
for Good Production; Rank
Among the Best.
HIGQ PRICES PAID FOR
ACREAGE ON EAST SIDE
Lone Star Pays $75300 for 20 Acres
With Well On Lease; Ramsey
Buys '10 Acres Hedlund Farm
at $1000 An Acre.
The two new completions in the
Cement field 15 miles southwest of
Chickasha tho Ramsey No. 1 Red-
hind and the Invincible No. 3. Hit?
Whip have quickened the pulse ol
activity in the cant end fu the field j
and the operators are being spurred
on to greater efforts. i
Many new rigs are going up and
indications are that in a short time i
the development will be doubled.
The Ramsey No. 1 Hedlund in the
northwest of the northeast of section
11-5-9 which marks the eastern limit
of produc tion shows plainly that the
sand is as good at this location as
anywhere else in the field. There is
no indication of its "petering out"
or that the Ramsey is an "edge well."
The well is practically clean and
they have spent sever?'- days bail-
ing out without perccpV -ly lowering
the oil in the hole. All water and gas
is shut off and the fluid is standing
i:i the hole to a depth of 700 feet.
They had lit feet of sand and the
bottom of the hole is 2370 feet. The
veil is estimated as a producer of
3 50 barrels.
Prompts Acreage Sale.
With the completion of the Ram-
sey No. 1 conies the announcement
that the 40 acres offsetting the well
on the east the same being the
northeast of the northeast of section
11-5-9 has been purchased by the
Ramsey interests from Belle Hedlund
at a figure of $1000 per acre or $40-
000 for the lease. This also proves
that the operators haev confidence
in the eastward trend of production.
The Lone Star company is also
getting its feet wet in section It.
This company has purchased from
the Hill Petroleum company the
southeast of the northeast of section
11-5-9 for a consideration of $500 per
acre.
Another Big Deal.
What probably tops any deal for a
small block of acreage ye! made in
tho field is the transaction whereby
i.ie Lone Star company purchased
the 20-aere tract being the east one-
half of tho northeast of the north-
west of section 11-5-9 from tho Gor-
ton Trust for $75000. This tract has
one well oil it the Hetty CI No. 1
Lackey.
The acreage with the well is con-
tracted for and the well is being
guaged. It is understood that the
gtiage of the well for seven days
is to govern tho price the reported
stipulation of the contract being that
the price is to be fixed at $750dft
in the event the well makes 50 bar-
rels a day. When it was completed
and put on the pump it was doing
regularly around SO barrels.

If the events of yesterday the day
on which the Chickasha baseball

ern association club is a criterion
for the state of things throughout
the season tiien Chickasha is to see
a very hot campaign for the bunt-

ahout two-thirds of the park fence
was burned yesterday afternoon when
a grass fire got beyond control.

LOCAL SPEEDERS
Along with the balmy days that
show symptoms of spring have come 1
multiplied activities in motoring t lie
proportionate increase in the number
of speeders and consequently a mark-1
ed increase in the number of fines !
being exacted by city officials. !
Twenty-five dollars was the amount I
collected by Mayor Durbin's court
this morning from alleged city traf-
fice law breakers. H. t McMalian
was fined ten dollars and Ous Pal- j
ter R. C. Gray and IT. F. Curtis were j
each penalized to the amount of five
dollars all on charges of exceeding
the speed limit. Officials stated thai
this constituted McMahan's second
offense hence the larger fine. !
'Sylvester (Hoodoo) Smith colored !
was also fined $5.00 in police court j
this morning on a charge of refusing ;
to pay his sanitary bill. j
With reference to the enforcement
of the city traffic ordinance O. (. i
Linn chief of police stated this
morning that hereafter motorists
who run their cars in the city with
out outs open and mufflers off will
serve the same fate 'as the speeders.
I He pointed out' that driving cars
! with open cut-outs and without muf-
; flers constituted just as great an of-
I fciiKe ao speeding. The city traffic
! ordinance must not be violated he
stated.

Gov. Hobby's Order Disregarding
Decision of Federal Judge May
Bring on Strenuous Action It
Is Believed.
By United Press.
Oklahoma City March It!. The
long expected clash at lied river may
result from Governor Hobby's action
in refusing to recognize the order
of Fedoial Judge' Vouiuun's at Knid.
It. is expected 'hat .iudfte Youmans
".'.ill tod.iy issue warurnis for the ar-
rest of oil men and Texas rangers
who are now holding the property.
Following is Governor Hobby's
statement with reference to the po-
sition Texas has laken on the propo-
sition: "Tho territorial integrity of Texas
will be maiulained and this state
will not surrender territory over
which it has been in actual and un-
questioned possession for 8-1 years
except upon a decision of the United :
States supreme court and the case is
now pending in that court.
"Without a trial to determine the
rightful ownership an Oklahoma fed-
eral judge has entered an order the
effect of which is to dispossess the
stale of Texas of a portion of its
public domain loused for oil develop-
ment and to dispossess a receiver
appoint! d by a Texas court and has
enjoined peace officers of the state
who have been sent by me to lire-
serve order.
"The atotrnry general of Texas has
advised mo in a carefully prepared
opinion that the order of the Okla-
homa court is void and without justi-
fication in law. This property con-
sists of 100 acres on the south side
of the middle of the river whose
value is estimated at. $10000000.
There are three producing we'K
on the property and perhaps forty
wells are now being drilled. The
property is now yielding the state
about $1000 per day.
"The duty of the state to maintain
sovereignty is not noly involved but
;t would seem that a valuable finan-
cial interest to the stale is also in-
volved. "Therefore sufficient force has
been ordered to hold the territroy
and surrender none of it except the
decree of the only court having juris-
diction over the boundary lines of
states and that is the supreme court
of the United Stales."

ages or boxes these seeds are being

ments then it is up to them and the
