A core was taken from
test from 8,993 feet to 9,002
showing brown shale, streaks
sand and oil sand. A 7 5-S
bit is being used and a com-
core record has been secured,
said, from the 7,000 foot level
to the present depth. This in it-
self is remarkable, but to secure a
pei feet core below 9,000 feet is all
the more rcmai kable.

Electra operators and the oil fra-
ternity in general have watched with
interest the outcome of the deep
'test which has been drilled below
4200 feet on the Burnett ranch
land southeast o£ Electra, as the
discovery of profitable sand below
the 3000 foot depth Would mean
the re-exploration of the whole
Electra area. Some disappoint-
iment, of course, has been experien-
ced because of failure in getting
real pay from the lower strata in
the test, but the showings had at
3600 feet will undoubtedly lead to
other similar tests in the near fu-
ture.
The steady improvement in the
equipment, due to new inventions in
the way of oil field machinery, is
giving impetus to deep drilling.
Marvelous strides have been made
in recent months in perfecting core
bits which have enabled drillers to
make unbroken running core
even below the seven and
thousand foot level.
Little short of miraculous
report from Long Beach,

ONE OF HIS BEST BEARING TREES’?
A news item from Peekskill, N.
Y. says that Putnam county (N.
Y.) t authorities are opposed to bare-
legs for girls and threatened ar-
rests. They have ordered police to
tell stockingless summer visitors to
dress properly. Then we hear from
an extremely southern town in Tex-
as, that a Boy Scout leader was
threatened with arrest for indecency
,when he entered ’a confectionery in
a bathing suit, overalls and rubber
boots. But an Okiaoma college boy
was let off with a reprimand in the
form of a lecture on proper dress
pfter he had appeared in a cafe
one day J * ,
pajamas
Yet the
is West
meet.
How
should fbe over the fact that they
have not been ordered to seek out
the stockingless appearing miss
and find out ifr she is* really hose-
less or is wearing the new seamless
variety. We can imagine the con-
sternation such an order from the
chief of police would create. We
imagine also that there would be
an immediate necessity for a ‘bond”
election and subsequent rise in tax-
es in order to support a much
larger police force if an Electra
policeman attempted single-handed,
,so to speak, to tell stockingless
summer visitors to dress properly.
Ordinarily Electra officers have
enough trouble telling stockingless
automobile drivers who make a
of double parking in front of
stores while enjoying the curb
ice, something about traffic
• without having to tell them
thing about the latest styles in'
dress or undress.
It just isn’t being done in Elec-
tra. Our policemen raid beer joints,
crap games and sometimes rooster’
fights. They almost risk their lives
when they tell the hard-boiled ttuck
driver with a trailer and what-n< t
\strung out over about sixty feet
-crowded pavement, to
when they are blocking traffic
all corners; they kill
mangy dogs and strays
been called to kill rattlesnakes
.kitchens and that day is
lost at police stat'on if a
not been received, asking for
officer to arrest a burro, a cow or i
horse for trespassing in somebody s
flower bed or garden. I
All that just goes with “officer-'
ing” and a lot more, but clothes
inspecting will be something
get her different, yet.
