Many Drills Going.
(Electra News)
At a meeting of the Red River Oil
Company in our city Tuesday, a
dividend of 100 per cent was’declared.
The operations of the Red River Oil
Company have been confined to the
Electra Held and their operations
have extended over a period of only
six months. President Chapman was
far sighted enough to take advantage
of the opportunity and pay $250 per
acre for eight/ acres of land, one half
mile north of the Clayco No. 1, which
price at that time was considered by
some to be an exorbitant price to
pay for land, but Mr. Chapman's suc-
cessful * career in the oil business
prompted him to act quickly and by
so doing a most valuable piece, of
land was secured. Mr. Chapman
turned the property over to I com-
pany and called it the Red River Oil
Company, operations were commenc-
ed as soon as material and machinery
could be moved and two weeks after
the first drill fell a six hundred bar-
rel well’ was brought in at a depth of
1000 feet. At the present writing
they have completed twelve wells
and every one a good one, they have
one 37,000 barrel steel storage tank
to use in case of emergency, pumping
station, water and oil lines and all
the necessary equipment to facilitate
the prompt handling of oil.
The company has been under the
personal management of Ear Har-
well. to whom a great deal of the
credit is due for their success.
Before this issue of the News goes
to press there will be a rig up on the
south center line of section 7, about
two and one-half miles southeast of
Electra.
This lease is held by Mr. C. J.
Green and is one of the most import-
ant ever made in the Electra field,
as it carries with it an option on all
the Burnett-Lloyd holdings, consist-
ing of about 20,000 acres of land ly-
ing both north and south of the Fort
Worth and Denver railroad aud be-
tween Electra and Burk Station.
The well which is to be started as
early as possible, will be about one
and one-half miles southeast of the
Mrs. Jennings well and means quite
an extension of wild cutting in a
southeasterly direction from the con-
sidered proven field.
Allen No. 5 is drilling into the 1000
foot sand and by the time the News
reaches you it may be ia.
Putnam 6 is being repacked and
will probably be brought in today.
. McBride, Sheldon 1. is testing out
at 1000 feet. This is one of the most
important wells in the field as it will
show up the deep stuff a considerable
distance to the north.
Burns and Whitehill have cased
Woodruff & Krohn No. 1, off dry at
1500 feet and will test out in the next
day or two.

in giving the national convention
of 1912 to . Baltimore the . Democratic
national committee has .revived an
ancient, political tradition. in the
days of its greatest prosperity the
Democratic party used 1 to consider
Baltimore its natural meeting • place.
The first Democratic national convenC^ _____- _ ___.______
tion ever held assembled i in the Mary, Tassembled there and put Henry Clay
land metropolis in 1832, and from
that time on till 1860 Democratic
candidates for president ana vice
president were nominated there, with
only one break, the convention of
1856 going to Cincinnati. The first
sessions of the 1860 convention Were
held in Charleston, 8. C., buj when
the slavery and anti-slavery factions
split both adjourned to Baltimore to
make nominations. 1
The advantages of Baltimore, as s
gathering place were numerous and
conspicuous. It was a midway sta-
tion between the North and the South
in nomination tor the campaign of
1832. The Whig party gathered there
in 1844, 1852 and 1856; the Constitu-
tional Union party in 1860; the Re-
pubican In 1864 aud the Democratic
again in 1872.
The date Mt for the Democratic
gathering, June 25, is earlier than
usual, most recent conventions of
and easily accessible from the West.
It had good hotels and was close to
Washington, then much more than
now the center of political Intrigue
that party, having sat in the week em-
bracing July 4. Moving forward the
date may be taken to Indicate an
intention to break off the work of
the present session of congress early
in June and that omen will be wel-
come to the public. Neither party
now looks much to congress for lead-
ership, and both await with eager-
I nesa the formulation of their pro-
grams for the national campaign
through; the agency of the national
conventions.
