BEFORE FIGHT
Orangefield Preparing For
More Extensive Operations
New Locations.
Reports during ttao forenoon of to-
day were to the effect that the Gulf
l’roductlon company well Na. 1 Chea-
Hon was showing considerable amount
of oil as bailing progressed.
The Orange l'etroleuai company
bus encountered packed sand in go
Ing down via sidetrack in well No. 1,
that has proven almost Unpenetrable.
H is thought that It will be necessary
to use a roller bit to get through the
hard sand thatiJp* used up the or-
dinary flsh-bairblt as though it was
made of wood.
I lie Thrift company bad some trou-
blu today as a result of a hang-up at
about 1,400 feet in well No. 1 ff. P.
McGuire,
Amidst what appeared to be a
slight temporary lull in activities at
the Orange oil field, preparations arc
being made in earnest for the future
drilling campaign that promises to be
full of "pep.”
The Brownle-Babette Oil company
has announced two new locations for
wells while the Humble Oil and Re-
filling company and C. L. Barrett,
each announced now well locations
last Saturday.
With perhaps the larg«i|L and most
modern drilling ring In operation in
the field, the Brownle-Babette Oil
company will start drilling at Jhe
earliest possible date on the Morris
McLain 8 1-2 acres lease situated on
the east side of the Carbello lease
now being drilled by the Edgerly Pe-
troleum company.
A drilling rig of the latest design
of the Union Jool company, known
as the C'ontineatali,hlas purchased for
putting down this wvhi1. sThe equip-
ment includes a twin-cjrlintier, steam
egine and 60 horse power boiler.
The new rig has been loaded in
Houston ready for shipment to Or-
ange.
In the meantime materials for the
derrick are being assembled on the
ground.
Thu Drdwnie-Babette company
made a location on the Smith-Fore-
lease 210 feet north of the

Driller Truccll will have charge

announced.
The Humble Oil and Refining com-
pany was engaged in setting two-inch
tubing in well No. 1 Wlnfree.
The Gulf Production company is
'engaged in washing and bailing well
No. 1 Chesson. Early reports said
that the oil was showing up nicely
on the pit and the general opinion
was that a good well would eventu-
ally be the results.
The matter of transferring tbc 22-
racro Oscar Cheason tract lease to the
iHumble Oil and Refining compai by
Charles 0. Noble has not progr< sed

Col. Robert L. Bennett, titled ihc

’jtnd Refining company, after s;« ad-
ding the past three weeks in Oi tgo,
investigating titles, especially that
pertaining to the Noble-Chcsson 1 ase,
before leaving submitted to an inter-
view and has the following to sa re-
ing Orange and the field:
“You have a fine town and a fine
country and above all, fine P •' Pi®
for it is tho people who' make Ihe
town and country. You have tome
oil—lots Of it, if 1 am any gutfssrr,—
but if you want to have an oil field,
want to attract the big producing
companies “for the love of Mike"
frown on and discourage as far, as
possible the filing of theso petty
suits. It has come to look as though
we can not buy a lease In your field
without getting a lawsuit on the side.
As soon as a big company gets Inter-
ested, the heirs of somebody who sold
_got the money and spent it two or
three generations ago and through
the ignorance of themselves or some-
body else made a defective deed
rush to tho “feast" as it were, and
slap a lawsuit against the oil com
pany just to see what they Scan get-
All is fish that comes to their nets.
Of course it is not contended that
people who have a lawful or claim
founded on equity and Justice should
turret dor their rights. That is not
desired. But yon good people who
want only what is your own could
[help a lot by frowning down the bus-
industry. Muncy Is aiwuyt- slow in
seeking investment in hostile lands." (

Mosquitoes have been so thor-

that their wings have curled up and
they cannot venture out at night—
but nobody can sleep because IT'S
TOO HOT. Everybody in Orangt
with the possible exception of three
—didn’t go to sleep to 1 a m. this
morning and it wan long before
dawn when they awoke again, suf
fering from the heat.
Father dashed from the bed, too
fatigued by 4he sleepless night to
curse because he overturned the
chair with his barefoot, and gased
into the sizzling east, mentally
wondering if be could see by the
dawn’s early light the slightest pos-
sibilities for oydone or something
cool.

Camels are made for Men who
Think for Themselves
j Such folks know real quality—and DEMAND it.
„ They prefer Camels because Camels give them the
smoothest, mellowest smoke they can buy—because
they love the mild, rich flavor of choicest tobaccos,
perfectly blended—and because Camels leave NO
CIGARETTY AFTERTASTE.
Like every man whef does his own thinking, you
want fine tobacco in your cigarettes. You’ll find it
in Camels.,
And, mind you, no flashy package just for show.
No extra wrappers! No costly frills! These things
don’t improve the smoke any; more than premiums
or coupons.
