havo thought put these many things
that I said today."

sports In all It win triko to fully devolop
the Mitchell County oil field" stated
Mr DanlclB '
After statins' that tho importance of
the Mitchell qounty oil field had
foaohed alt tho way from Now York
to California Dr. Coleman Introduced
H. A. Sloan of San Francisco; an inde-
pendent operator In tho Mitchell coun-
ty field who aias now two wells drill-
ing and who recontly secured a lease
on 2600 additional acres in tho M
Photon ranch in this sootlon which ho
will begin to devolop at an early dato.
Mr. Sloan prqnotinood tho Colorndo
business men the finest bunch of boos-
tcr.1 ho over saw.
Mr. VsuRlinn Spcnks
Ono of tho fcaturo speeches of tho
ovoj.l.iff Was that of W. J. Vaughan
Who struck tho keynote Of tho moot-
ing when ho said "I not only think
you have or will have an oil field
in Mitchell county but I KNOW that
you HAVE an oil field hore." Mr.
Vaughan expressed groat satisfaction
of tho Bplendld co-operation that tho
people of Volorado had given his com-
pany and pronounced Earl Morrison
tho owner of tho land on which tho
Morrison No. s is Ibcated "a younsr
millionaire." '
Mr. Vaughan emphasized tho point
Of not hiding tho light under a bushel
and gave great credit and praiso to
tho nrcsS of tho country for tho con.
sorvatlvo articles that havo boon pub-
lished in regard to the Mitchell county
oil field. Ho mads tho comparison of
tho hen that lays an ogg and cackles
(advertising tho fact to tho world) and
tho duck that loyj an egg and says
nothing about It and Btated that there
was a constant domand for hbn eggs
and no domand for duck eggs. Mr.
Vaughan slated that Mitcholl Ooujjjty
is juni. on ino tnjLwt-ijio uoginniRff in
aL
tho o business that the surface had
just been scratched and that great de-
velopments aro now .pending and will
bo made.
Dr. Coleman assured tho visitors at
tho banatiet that different to tho aver-
aBa oil town and that regardless of
tho influx of people Colorado would
take caro Of tho situation and meet
the demands In providing nil tho com-
forts and conveniences for a hUBtllng
and dovoloping town.
The only ntoto favor at tho lformal
banquet and a feature that produced
ono round of laughter nil tho way
round tho fable was a Bouvonlr Of tho
AiiMohfi Itenortcr. being "A Ono Word
Sermon On Business Conditions." The
word was "Kwllcherbelllhkln." .
