This is said to be the first rotary to enter the Perry field.

SHERIFF GETS STILL A short distance from the new K-D well, eight miles northwest of Perry, the Sheriff's force picked up a still and a number of empty jugs. A search was made for the owner, it was evident that the "bird had flown," for the officers could find no trace of him. "Perry Drillers" is the Name of the New Baseball Club for This City. Oflicers Elected. At a meeting last night in the sheriff's office at the court house, attended by a large number of the base- Lall enthusiasts of Perry, it was decided to maintain a permanent ball team for this city.

Red Bank Oil company has made new location in the southeast corner of the southwest of the sou.thwe.--t of 16-21-2 west. It is drilling, in the southwest of the southwest of the northwest of that section. The Red.

Bank geology is said to indicate the field will have an east-to-west trend. If this proves true it will bo the first field developed in Oklahoma to show such a trend. The building of a pipe line into the pool by Magnolia Petroleum company soon start. At presen Champlin Refining company is buying the. output of the first two wells and is it in tonks in 15-21-2.

The Raggan well, which is the ducing 18 barrels of high gravity oil every 24 hour day. It is located two miles west of Perry. The Sams and the Hoffman are pumping about 35 barrel seach and the new K-D, in spite of the bad they has, is producing about ninety barrels, according to reliable information.

The new Perry field is in its infancy and with 'the new wells drilling arid many tests contemplated, it is believed that within a short time, this production will be more than doubled. The K-D well alone, when it is cleaned and the new casing set, will, produce around three thousand barrels, according to many old time oil Vnen. The new seamless casing that was ordered some time ago, for the K-D well is on its way here from St. Louis and is expected to arrive any day.

The Magnolia Petroleum company has made a new location one mile and a half east of the Sams discovery well This brings the Perry field just that much closer to Perry. Tne Magnolia will use a rotary on one of. their tests In the west Perry field. Just five miles north of the Sams well and about three miles from the K-D deep discovery well, the Mummert Drilling company will begin soon putting down a test well. Fred H.

Merritt, who is in Perry today, announces that he and associates have contracted with the Mum- inert Drilling company to drill a deep test at No. 1 Merritt, in the northwest of the southwest of 22-22 2w, Noble county. Adjacent acreage is held by the Wentz Oil corporation, Carter Oil company, Sinclair Oil and Gas company, Murland Oil company and other big companies. "A deep test in the Polo pool should help to further define the area between the new Bu-Vi-Bar area around Perry north to the and also probably determine its trend," Mr. Merritt said.

With the two new locations of the Magnolia, the Shoop test, the Red Bank No. 1 and 2, the Sams and Hoffman the Magnolia on tne Wo.le- son, the new test of the Magnolia four miles west of Perry on the Austin, the K-D, on the Wnite farm, the old Ragan well, the Wentz well to the northeast and the MeCinity on the southeast, the new Perry oil field is beginning to look like another Tonkawa. The production at the present time is about 200 barrels a clay in the Perry field, according to a check up oi the K-D, Sams, Hoffman and the old Raggin wells. According to this estimate the new Perry fuld saould double her production within a short time, as it is expected that at least two or three more wells will be brought in soon.

During the hot summer months our c.ty and surrounding country will be ia- vored with union Sunday evening services in the beautiful and cool court yard. We regard this as a worthy enterprise and a mark of distinction.

Most certainly the efforts of the ministers ought to receive hearty support from tho church going public in the laudable undertaking. The churcti organizations uniting in this splendid enterprise are the Methodist, Presbyterian and Christian congregations. Promptly at eight o'clock each Sunday evening during July and August the worship will begin with a rousing community singsong' of religious hymns led by a specially organized choir. The ministers, according to Mr. Sunders, pus- tor of the Christian are making moro elaborate preparation for these union services than ever before.

"Wo want everybody who can to co-operate with us. The community spirit ought to strongly manifest itself. In the court yard we will meet us friends aud neighbors tp worship our common Lord," he added. The pastors ure working out the derails of the program and in a day or will have some interesting information to give out with reference to it. In the meantime let's get ready to fall in line and prepare to help the opening service next Sunday evening with a record crowd and a splendid religious community spirit.
