In the same region 271 rigs are up, 165 of which are drilling at the present time. The number of completions showed a slight falling off in the month of December under those of November, 1918, and new production in the country at large shows a decrease for the month of approximately 16,000 barrels, a good showing in view of the inclement weather conditions that have prevailed in the northern field. The Oklahoma-Arkansas and North Texas regions lead in development work and the North Texas, Gulf Coast, Oklahoma-Arkansas and Kan- sas fields lead in new production in the order named ROYALTY CLAIMS IN OIL MEASURE Wyoming Income to be Aug- mented by Government Royal- ties if Kendrick Succeeds Wyoming needs now is a improvement that will invite settlers and make certain the age What system of public of untouched land within her borders.

Says Wall Street Journal; Stocks Climb — That the oil industry occupies a strong position in future calculations of speculators and investors is shown by the trend of the New York Curb market during the past week, in which Midwest Refining sold to above $130 a share, or within $3 of the pre- vailing quotations prior to subscrip- tions for rights to purchase new stock.

That, in effect, was the decision handed down by the State Supreme Court Saturday. In a suit entitled Rehder vs. the county commissioners, the Guernsey saloonkeeper sought a writ of manda- mus to compel the board to re-issue him a license for 1919. The district court denied suck. a writ on the ground that the ard could either grant or refuse a license as it sav. fit, The higher court reversed tha decision, It held that the districi judge had erred. Inasmuch as the authorities ir other count have either refusec icenses or signified their intentioi of doing so, the verdict may have far reaching effects. The court did not presume to direc the commissioners to issue the licens. e, because it is presumed to have wo knowledge of character of the applicant. Is decision is that one having a reputa- tion for good morals, and who has complicd with the statutory require- ments, must be granted the privilege accorded citizens siby, statute.
