Oil and Ga Development.
The discovery of oil deposits is becoming an every-day
occurrence in eastern Oklahoma and Indian Territory
these days. Indeed It is impossible to pick up a news
paper wsthout reading of a new oil or gas well and the
rapidity with which development work is going forward.

of is attracting the attention of the world.
The oil and gas belt seems to include practically the
whole of Indian Territory and skirts the eastern edge of
Oklahoma. It may include all of Oklahoma but that
fact has not been demonstrated yet. Development work
is being pushed however in all sections of eastern and
southern Oklahoma and the full extent of the field will
not be known until the result is ascertained.
Oil and gas have been developed in exhaustible quan-1
titles in half a dozen or more places in northern eastern
and southern Oklahoma and prospect work is going' for

The field is more fully developed in Indian Territory

ment let's have it. There is a good deal of money going
out for fire insurance that should be kept at home.
The production of oil and gas has become so extensive
in Indian Territory that it begins to look like the day is
not far distant when this will be its leading industry.
The same may be true of Oklahoma in the light of the
discoveries already made though it is not so apparent
here as in Indian Territory. Enough has not been dem
onstrated however to make it reasonably certain that
all of eastern Oklahoma is in the oil and gas belt and
that the immediate futnre will see the day when all

From the perusal of many exchanges "one is forced to
the conclusion that newspaper writers often forget whom
they are addressing. Careless editors print many things
they would not utter in the presence of ladies and chil-
dren. Every paper owes it to ite clientele however small
to print a clean paper. The great majority of the read
ers of local papers are women in the homes and much of
the rot that rinds its way into the papers ought to be
left out. Let the press of Indian Territory stand for a
clean wholesome journalism.
l Thus far all efforts to get up anything like enthusiasm
; in tne democratic national committeeman contest in the
Innian Territory has failed. This applies to the North

I ion and intelligent action. There arethose of little
