rith the drill but four feet in the
ayj The well ia npw showing about
million feet of gas and there is a
iiKÍred feet of oil In the hole. The
driller in charge stated that, had he
drilled another foot, he is convinced
that the well would have started tó
spray, but owing to the fact < that
theer is several hundred feet of open
hole it was decided to stop drilling
and run the six inch casing as the
formation showed a tendency to
c'ave.
WILL BE A GOOD WELL
The statement was made that the
pay was picked up at 3035 feet and
a comparison of the log with the log
of the Rock Island well which is
about half a mile further east, shows
that the formation is fully twenty
l'eet higher at that point than it Is
at the Rock Island, where thev re-
ported fully one hundred feet of
sand. However the Rock Island did
not have the gas pressure and the
oil was not as evident imediately
after encountering the sand.
The well should prove to make
around 500 barels at least accord-
ing to the opinion of oil men who
have watched the progress and the
officials of the company are very
well pleased with the result- It will
take about a week to run the six-
ftich casing after which the test will
be made.
A keen interest is being taken in
this locatlity at present by oil men
over the Panhandle. The Dominion
well was drilled by Amarillo people.
The officials are H. C. Coffee, presi-
dent, with Ross Rogers as vice presi-
dent, and R. T. Emmett secretary
treasurer. J. E. Dunn and Dr. R. L.
.Vineyard are additional directors.
C. J. Oats has had charge of oper-

j LOS ANGELES, March 24.— (AP)
—A two cent reduction in the re-
tail price of gasoline went into ef-
fect today at Southern California
stations of the Pan-American Petro-
leum Company. The new price is
14 1-2 cents a gallon, state tax of
two cents included.
The slash followed a genral reduc-
tion by leading companies Saturday
which brought the retail price down
from 18 1-2 to H3 1-2 cents.
In announcing the c.\U the Pan-
American Company said the reduc-
tion was not the result of economic
conditions but because of "bitter
competition."

NEW YORK. March 24.— (AP) —
The New York Times says today that
a new radio tube, produced by th'>
Radio Corporation of America,
which will dispense with batteries
and current supply devices, is ex-
pected to revolutionize the radio in-
dustry.
Officials of the corporation would
not confirm or deny the announce-
ment at this time. Reports have been
current for a month, says the paper,
that the corporation was preparing
to introduce a i\ew alternating cur-
rent tube and a new line of receiv-
ers equipped to operate in direct
connection with light sockets.

WAR
WASHINGTON. March 24.— (AP)
-—When the destroyers Noa and
Preston sent salvoes of shell fire over
Nanking today it marked the first
time 3luce the world war that Ameri-
can warships have used large calibre
guns except for training purposes.
The American naval and marine
forces uere sent to Chinese waters
to protect American lives and pro-
perty, and they needed 110 instruct-
ions from Washington. Admiral Wil-
liams, in command of the Asiatic
Fleet has been clothed with the
widest, discretionary powers to han-
dle the situation as the circumstan-
ces warrant, and lie maneuvers the
-entire naval force in the Par East
as he sees fit.

Authority for the action of the
