Work at The Oil Well
Drillers Are at Work Night And
Day and Indications Point to
an Early Gusher.
The Price of Real Estate in Both
City and Country is Advancing
Work at th^ oil well on the
Frank Mitchell farm, one-half
mile west of town, is being rush-
ed forward as rapidly as possi-
ble and prospects are good for a
gusher, and that before long. It
is reported that a small quantity
of oil was encountered last Fri-
day night, but so far we have fail
ed to learn the particulars.
The oig engine for the Mc-
Collough well was taken out last
Sunday and will be placed in po-
sition and work started at once.
Every one connected with this
work is optimistic and feel sure
that success will crown their ef-
forts.
Real estate in and around Ral-
ston is advancing in price and
several deals have already bf en
made at advanced figures.
If you are figuing on locaing
in Ralston you had better do
so before the oil field is fuily de-
veloped. Business of all kinds
is picking up in Ralston and we
predict that real estate, both in
town and country, will be worth
double what it now selling for
nside of twelve months.

Some of the oldest inhabitants
tell us that we have had such
weather in Oklahoma before ns
we have had during the past
week. We can’t remember it.
However, we believe that the
frogs and dry weather croakers
should now have a good time.
On account of the very inclem-
ent weather there was but a i
small crowd out to the entertain-
ment at the opera house last Sat-
• rday night. A “Perplexing Sit-
uation” was the title of the play
and the pupils of Room 5 deserve
much credit, considering the time
taken in preparation.
