MAY BE OIL WELLS.

A Grafton correspondent writes: O..
3. Lajord of Mountain P. o., Pembina
county, N. D., a very intelligent gen
tleman. who has lived in that section
of the county nineteen years and now
lives within three miles of the zee
ment mines, in an interview with
your correspondent today says that
there is no question Of doubt as to
inexhaustible supply Of Portland ce-
ment OF an excellent quality in the
Eembina mountains. He says a tun-
mel sixty feet into the foothills de-
SVelops the fact that in addition to hy-
draulic and Portland cement, there. are
several grades of soap-stone such as
make the finest quality of earthenware
and pottery. 1t is rumored that an.
old Indian recently stated that there
is plenty of coal in these mountains.
Mr.. Lajord states that he found a
piece a few years ago near his house
and put it into the stove. It burned
until it was a white heat and almost
transparent when he removed it from
the stove and still has it in his pos
session. He also states that when in
the further end of the sixty-foot tun-
mel the gas is almost ~unbearable. An
other man on Tongue River north of
his place discovered a few winters ago
when the raYine was filled with snow
"a hole in the snow indicating
the escape of internal heat or some-
thing unusual. He examined the spot
in the spring and found petroleum oil
on the surface of the water. This he
tested and founo it burned readily.
He is arranging now to bore an oil
well. MI. Lajord states that he has
also found minerals and a fine quality
of brick clay. The cementkfactory
will soon be running night and day
with q capacity of one hundred and
fifty barrels f1er day. Surveyors are
at work now endeaYoring to locate the
best route into the mines. Probably
the route will be from Hensel though
a route has been surveyed from Mil
ton which is nearer.

Sheldon Progress: There is some
~ill-feeling engendered over. the ques-
ton Of the inmates OF the Soldiers
home voting in municipal elections at
Lisbon. No n wishes to deprive
the old veterans Of their rights to vote
at state and national elections, but it
is easy to see that they are not con
cerned in the local politics in which
the home happens to be located and if
the commandant has used his influence
to thWartIthe efforts of ward politi-
clans to obtain their votes no right
thinking man will feel like blaming
him. Ransom is proud of its state
institution and of the admirable man
ner inSwhieh it is managed. In this,
as in all other matters, Colonel Nc
Twain is acting for the best interests
of the home.

HELD WITHOUT BAIL
Ira Jenkins is Held to the District Court
Without Bail o Answer the
Charge Of Murder.
Preliminary Examination in the Case is
Concluded Before Justice Tibbils
this Afternoon.
Prisoner States that He Does Not De-
sire to Make any Statement but
Waive Examination!

Ira O. Jenkins was held without bail
this afternoon to await the action of
the district court on a charge of muir
der in the first degree. Ihe prelim-
mary examination in the case was
completed this afternoon at about 81
o'clock. Coroner White was the only
witness examined this afternoon He.
identified three exhibits in the case
that he secured in the room where the
murder was committed. One Of them
was the carpet from the floor, another
the door leading from the kitchen into.
the bedroom where Stark is said to
have been killed and the other was
two cartridge shells found in the room.
The carpets that said by the elder
jenkins in his statement, to have been
torn after the murder in order to re-
move the blood stains. The testi-.
mony of Coroner White showed the
carpet to have been torn as stated,
and is corroboratiye of the story of
the father. With reference to the
door Coroner White stated that when
he arrived to secure the carpet, the
door was being washed, and had been
scrubbed apparently with I've or ashes.
It is the theory of the state that the
door had blood upon it and the scrub
bling was being done to remove the
stains. The cartridge shells were
fitted to the gun with which it is be-
lieved Stark was shot and were found
to be Of the same kind as those in the
weapon. With these exhibits the
state rested it's case.
Justice Tibbils asked the prisoner
if he desired to make. any statement
in the case, if he desired an attorney
or if he desired to waive further ex-
animation. He stated that he de-
sired to waive further examination
and upon this he was remanded to the
custody of the sheriff, to be held with
out bail to answer the charge Of muir.
der in the first degree. States Attor.
ney Allen asked him if he desired tt
make to the court the statement tina,
he had made to him Saturday night
being that stated in the Tribune o
yesterday, but he replied that he dit
not.

AN EMMONs COUNTY WOLF HUNT.

AN EMMONS COUNTY WOLF HUNT.
Record: Two young lads in the
Tirsbol neighborhood had quite an ex-
citing wolf chase onef day last week.
Franz Rehrich's boy Michael was Wis
iting his chum, young Jacob, son of
Jacob Baumgarten, when a big coyote
put in an appearance near the stable.
The boys quickly got out horses and
started in pursuit. The snow was
deep and pretty soon the wolf was too
tired to run farther, SO he squatted on
his launches and showed fight. The
boys had no weapons of any kind-not
ever a stick--and the wolf bounty and
the price of the hide seemed gradually
to be growing into a dim and distant
possibility. Finally, however, a happy
thought struck the young hunters.
The wolf seemed to be SO badly played
out that he was not likely to attack
his pursners if they dismounted. So
they got off the horses and tied the
halter ropes together and remounted.
After a while a lucky throw carried
the rope over the VOLTS head and the
moose was drawn tight. The lads
49, ~ -
then met with a fresh difficulty. The
wolf was too big for one Of the riders
to tow it with the rope in his hand,
and neither had a saddle totie the rope
to. But they got around that puzzle
by fastening the rope to the tail Of one
of the horses. Then the rider drew
the coyote to the house in triumph.
The wolf scalp has not yet come in to
the county auditors Office, for the rea-
son that the boys are having some
trouble in equitably dividing their
profits. One claims that his horse
was sWiftest and therefore did more
to tire out the wolf and thus render
his apprehension possible. But the
other boys horse had the longest hal
tel, and SO the rider had a cause for
exploiting the claim that if his halter
hadn't been as long as it was the
united halters wouldn't have possessed
sufficient length for use in lariating

A London paper credits "a Kansas
journals" with making the following
remarks about Mr.. PedereWski:
1.-THE fellow is deceitful. He makes
you think all the time he is going to
play a tune, but he never does. He
sfirts all around tune, but never
touches it. His hair looks like a wig,
but it isn't He deceiVes YOU in a
hundred ways. He makesgthe sweet
est sounds you ever heard that were
not a tune. He has his piano so
trained that it will keep right on play
ing when he is not touching it. He
reaches out slowly and strokes 1t,
drawing back his elbows like a man
brushing a girls hair. You see the
moonlight, and you're there with your
girl, but somehow she doesn't love you.
You know the sorrow of that, and
that's why we don't ike Paderewski.n

MANILA, Dec. 2O.--Every mountain trail
in General Young's district north of the
Abra river and between the coast and
Dolores has been followed up by American
scouts this month. A similar movement has
taken place in the provinces of Union. Ben
guet, Lepanto and that part of South Iicos
which lies south of the Abra river. Fifteen
insurgents have been killed and more than
one hundred captured. The villages are
always abandoned before the arrival of the
Americans, but many buildings that have
been used as barracks have been destroyed.
The leaders OF the projected autonomy
party have again visited the Philippine
Commission, and the platform was dis
cussed privately and in an informal way.
The commissioners advise the elimination
of few minor features. Personally they
approve the movement forward step
in the direction Of the ultimate measure
of self-government which the commission
has already been instructed to bring about.
The plan of the party is to form United
States Territories involving canditature for
ultimate statehood. The platform declares
in favor of a Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives elected from the districts of the
archipelago according to the population.
Ir preparing a bill of rights the United
States Constitution is utilized. with the ex-
ception of the feature of trial by jury.
According to the plan the Governor Gen.
eral appointed by the President would have
the power, to veto, except in cases of q
two-thirds vote of the Legislature. The
Legislature would choose five delegates to
the United States. The platform opposes
the sale of the Philippines without the con-
sent of the Legislature. 1t contains little
regarding judiciary or local affairs. In the
main 1t repeats the features of the United
States Constitution. The most influential
and honorable natives are identified with
the movement.

brought forth the following letter written
by the major to his wife, Nov. /:
'I have been unable to write to my chill

MR.. CRUMPACKER'S REPORT
HE STRONGLY FAvORs REDUCTION
OF SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION
southerners and Others Misled by Mr.
Hopkins's Argumcnts-Three
Reports Submitted.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The majority
and minority reports on the reapportion-
ment bill were made in the House this
afternoon. Chairman Hopkins makes one
statement of fact that is utterly, though IL
may not be willfully, misleading. He says
that Massachusetts had twenty representa-
tives under the third census QSl0), and that
under the sixth QS40). seventh QS50. and
eighth QS6O) she had but ten. He ignores or
does not know that what is now the State
of Maine belonged to Massachusetts until
March IS, 1920 at which date IL was ad-
mitted as State and that the detachment
of this population from Massachusetts re-
duced the latter's representation from
twenty to thirteen, Maine being accorded
the seven that Massachusetts, lost.
The minority report in favor OF the Bur-
leigh bill. which places the membership at
3S6, at which figure no State would lose, is
regarded as strong, and is materially help
ing to turn the tide in favor Of that bill.
The political feeling Hopkins aroused
among the Democrats in favor OF his bill
by the argument that IL the membership
were increased to $50 IL would give the Re-
publicans net gain Of ten over the Demo-
Gratis in the Electoral College is losing it's
strength. It has dawned on some of them
that they cannot elect President without
carrying some Northern States, and that if
they carry them the more electoral votes
they have the better for the Democrats;
and If they do not elect a President, IL does
not make any difference 10 them whether
New York, for instance, gains two a
dozen by the reapportionment. The Texas
delegation. by the way of example. was
reported solidly in favor OF the Hopkins
bill. 1t is tonight reported to be about
equally divided. 1t is the same with other
Southern delegations. They see the fallacy
of Hopkins's argument; that it is based ON
the idea that the States North and South
will continue to vote at presidential elec-
tions they did last November. IL that
were to prove true. il would make no diff
ference to the Democrats how many cleo
toral votes were gained or lost by the
States, they would not elect a President.
The fallacy of his reasoning and his per-
sonal unpopularity among the members
are decreasing the chances OF success OF the
bill framed by Mr.. Hopkins and increasing
those of the Burleigh bill. under which lat
ter Indiana would continue 10 have thir~
teen representatives.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-J. G. Stowe, con-
sui general of the United States to South
Africa, with headquarters at Cape Town,
arrived here on his vacation on the new
Ped Star liner Vaderland to-day. He has
not been in America for three years, and
leaves for his home in Kansas City, Mo,
tomorrow in order TO spend Christmas
with his family, who left Cape Town in
June last. Speaking of affairs In South
Africa generally, and the future outlook,
Mr.. Stowe said he considered the war prac-
tically ended. which fact was responsible
for his being able TO come home at this
time. He was informed of the recent Boer
successes and the capture at Magaliesberg
of a portion of the Northumberland
Fusiliers, and was asked If he thought 1t
indicated a reorganization of the Boer
forces. "Oh. no. said he. This can be
easily explained. The Beers may be ex-
pected from time to time 10 win slight ad-
vantages. The war is now being fought on
the guerrilla plan. The situation TO me
seems to be that Of a lot Of bands who
