Just as certain method of drill ing oil wells have become reeog nlted a the best through the evo lution of tho oil Industry, o also ha tho mean of acquiring" title to prospective oil landa developed cer tain atandard practice In reference to oil lease. Since the surface of the ground ha little comparative value to tke oil operator, dlrett purchaae of bind for oil development ha llttW at traction to the average oil man or oil company. There are aome oil field In the United Statee, located In region whore the agricultural value of tho land I low. In which the oil operator hnvo purchased tho land outright. Theio field and tkla practice, however, I exceptional. The averago well drilled-for oHl located on land the mineral right of which ha been leaied by those ''do ing tho development Since the ell Industry In the United States baa a history of over halt a century, and 1 conducted on o vast a scale, many dispute have arisen between tho lessor and the lessee ot oil Isiid, prospective and otberwlae. These disputes have been carried through the courts and have affected nearly every possible controversial point, In reference to an oil lease. Certain ratios ,ln reference to royalty later eats, have been established aa fair to both leaser and leeaee. Certain principle have bees laid down! by the courts as to, the rights). fed dntleif of each party. The applica tion ot these principles vary In dif ferent sections, but tho underlying equities roanaln tbe same. An oil lea so may be divided Into several parts: Ftrstr there, must be a consideration. Second, thore must be-a form to the lease. Third, there must be a promise of development work 'within a definite stated peri od. Fourth, there mua tbe a sec ondary consideration In the form of a royalty to th owner of tho land. In many states, the courts have held, that ahould any ot these parts be absont tho lease Is Invalid. In Ita practical application, ' the first point, namely, definite consid eration, la frequently only formal and the nominal sum of one dollar is to comply with the common law ot contracts. The second point, namely, the term of lease, ha been tho subject of much litigation. Years ago the courts ot Pennsyl- WO!

The third point, tho promlae to drill, la determined largely by local condition. Bo long as the tease contains a clause by wbkh the lessee promises certain development work, wltnln a reason able time, and a penalty claaee ren dering the lease Invalid la ease the promise I sot kept, tke necessary principle haa been observed. The fourth point, royalty to ike owner, Is more rigid In Its applica tion. Certain royalties have become atandard throughout the United States. in thoroughly unproveu territories, suck as the Klamath Ilasln, It la the practice of all large oil companies and Individual oper ator to pay one-tentb, either of the oil or the proceeds from the oil aaved, to the owner ot the land. Within district 'that, stay be con. sldered comparatively tare ot pro duction, cither on, tke outskirts of an oil field, or wltkk a nearby radius, one-eighth royalty 'Is paid. There, are exceptional cases, where lease have been taken on a one- sixth, or even oae-flfth royalty, when tke prospective location was considered certain of production, having large producing wells In close proxlsalty. It mar aeea that these royalties are not'a larga a they sb.ou.ld be, and so unfair to ,the land, .owner. To, obtain an. Impartial vfew of tbe matter certain facta must bo given consideration, that may be over looked. In unproven territory the averago test "well Involves an ex pendlture, when drilled to a depth or 5,600 feet, ot approximately $70, 000.09. Of this amount spent by tho oil operator not moro than $20,- 000,00 ran bo salvaged In case ot a failure, so be Is gambling on tbe possibility ot his striking oil to the extent of $50,000.00. Tbe land on which he drills la not Injured to any appreciable extent, the owner losing practically nothing If tbo well la dry. In case oil Is struck there are certain operating and upkeep expenses. Let us suppose a forty- acre lease Is under consideration, on which nine wells have been drill ed, each one producing 60 barrels per day.

Por halt -a block on either aide of Sixth and Main, heavy layers ot talcuna powder were spread on the asphalt and when the lively tune played by the band began, the atret became crowded with dancers who whirled and swung as multi-colored streamers ot paper tape circled over their heads. In the crowd were good, poor, In different, graceful, gawky and 'Jelly footed dancers all happy and en Joying themselves even If they did step on pet corn and the like.

With the rod, white and blue elee trie lamps sending down a merry glow, and the main street all antes that auch affair would advertise the city and bring many visitor to take part In similar "free street danees." Not much expense would be requir ed to put It over. The benches for street seats are already made and about 880 would cover tbo lumber bill. Storage coud be obtained from tbe city official In the old city hall, a place close tor transportation to' Main street. Tho band played good dance music last night and they must be aupported it this city Is to have music, so, Inquire the enthusiast, why not use them every two weeks and have a royal good tlmo and merrymaking, "In our own home town"?
