based on the person who is running,
not partisan political affiliation. “In
my experience, West Texans vote for
the person, not the party, and that’s a
good thing-particularly in a judicial
rafce,” said Huffaker. “I’ve been
encouraged to run by both Democrats
and Republicans, and 1 hope to earn
everyone’s support, regardless of
pairty ties.”

Child welfare Board; Rotary Club,
West-'ffe ’ Resource, Conservation
and Development, the Lynn County
Hospital Auxiliary, and Friends of 4-
H. He’s a Texas Agricultural
Lifetime Leadership graduate and ah
aptive member of the First United

Veteran's flu shots

agricultural roots because they are my
roots. I have the necessary courtroom
experience to be fair, impartial and
decisive because I’ve been there day-
in and day-out,” said Huffaker

voters inHus district, ahcTT hope to
earn their support."

RRC sets
gas allowable
for November
The Texas Railroad Commission
has set November natural gas
production allowables for prorated
fields in the state to meet market
demand—of—29,909,195—Mcf"
(thousand cubic feet).
For these fields, the November,
2001 allowable represents a decrease
of2,977,705 Mcf when compared to
actual production of 32,886,900 Mcf
in November of 2000. In setting the
November, 2001 allowable, the
Commission used historical
production figures from November of
last year and producer forecasts for
the November, 2001 demand, and
then adjusted the figures to account
for such factors as well capability,
new wells in a field and the like.
Texas natural gas storage reported
by the Commission for the month of
September, 2001 is 299,801,231
Mcf, compared to 209,424,920 Mcf
in September of 2000. The October
gas storage estimate is 285,573,652
Mcf.
Gas well gas from prorated fields
accounts for nine percent of total gas
production in Texas.
Preliminary statewide production
reported for August, 2001 is
30,703,213 barrels of crude oil and
381,683,8% Mcf of gas well gas.
The Commission’s estimated final
production for this month can be
obtained by multiplying these
preliminary totals by a production
adjustment factor of 1.0331 for crude
oil and 1.0%5 for gas well gas.
Totals do not include casinghead gas
or condensate.
The next statewide hearing has
been scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 20
at 9:30 a.m.
