Sherif Helton waa born and
reared at Polland, Ala. He located
in Lee county. Texas, when a young
man and served for neveral years as
a deputy sheriff under Sherim R parks
of that county. About twenty-fve
years ago he located in Grange
where he was in charge of the pat-

This new location is 400 feet,due
west of the gusher, which is in sec-
tion 31, of Calcasieu parish. The
gusher is also 209 feet north of an-
other well which encountered the
salt dome which had been accounted
for in the seismograph test made
some time ago.
» Much will depend upon the result
of the new location, which may serve
as an ideal guide to locate the yen
of the esit dome which has been
only partially defined by the previous
test entering the dome. OU men are
making every effort possible to de,
termine the directions of the dome in
order that they may trace the foun-
tain of wealth which is the oil pool
that has nearly always been found
in connection with the aalt domes.
The oil district is said to be alive
with oil field workers who have
been rushed to the scene to take
care of the emergency work in the

field to Toomey, which ia about four
and a half miles east of Omnge, to
connect with the Gulf Pipeline com-

Pipeline workers and others hare
