who made a business trip there Sat
urday. - "Hotel accommodations at
present are very inadequate," Mr.
Cookerly says, "and on last Friday
night, so 1 was told by a commercial
man, 29 persons were unable to find
lodging in the entire town and were
compelled to sleep In the depot.
Houses for rent cannot be found and
I was told by one representative bus
iness man that If anyone would erect
30 houses he would agree to find
renters for all of them as soon as they
were completed. Sixteen additional
train crews, I understand, are to be
located there about the middle of
January. Where they are to find liv
ing accommodations no one seems to
know at present." '

Quantity of Oil Coming With Water N
VndiininlHlicd Yet,
The Gaskell well hear lmbler, is a
study for geologists. The casing now
comes to a point 23 inches from the
surface and the oily liquid that looks
like water is flowing over the top of
it. In a few days Driller R. A. West
will go deeper and ralsp the cnsln?. He
believes it will flow on the suriace of
the ground when this is done.
The water is unfit for UBe on ac
count of the great quantities of oil
that come from the earth's interior
with. It. This well has now been dis
covered for several weeks, but the
percentage of oil In the water is the
same greater, if anything, today
than it was when first noticed. The I Dec7Jan6
well is unquestionably a freak, as no j

In that vicinity of the county. Mr.
West stated today that he would com

for the purpose of ascertaining what
will happen to the percentage of oil
and the strength of the artesian flow.
