oil IN EVIDENCE
Much Sought Crude Oil Bub-
81 b1es From a Spring Over
the River.
Experts Examine and Believe
There is Plenty More
Deep in the Earth.

Monday the two men, 9. w. futile
and W. j. Lee. who are here from the
+ Kansas oil fields to demonstrate the
existence of petroleum in this vicinity,
accompanied III. ID. Jennings and 5. Il.
Trine to the lands of the latter directly
across the river and below Fort Pierre.
Futile and Lee, being experts, dis
lowered a small stream of oil percolat-
Ing down the side of a bluff and into
the river. Where it reached the water
Ut made a scum some twenty feet across,
NJ and when Mr. Tuttle spilled a match
The oil burned brightly up the hillside.
They unhesitatingly pronounced it
crude petroleum, and stated that it
8found its way to the surface through
tcrevices IN the ground from the sub
& terranean deposits. 1t was conclusive
D eyidence in their minds that there is
plenty of oil beneath this country, a
fact they have contended all along.
Yesterday party composed of some
twenty leading business men accom-
panied the four above named in gaso-
"a line launch down the river to where the
#oil spring was discovered and had the
satisfaction OF seeing the phenomena
for themselves. Mr.. futile again dem
onstrated that it was crude petroleum
55b by tests that were conclusive he being
an oil expert of good experience. Those
in the party came away fully convinced
#S that it was just as Mr.. futile stated
It and that Pierre is on the eve of a great
H discovery of oil and dry gas, which un-
" deries the present abundance OF wet
gas that comes out with the artesian
M flow.
Messrs. futile and Lee are now in
conference with the city council upon
behalf of the deep we'll drilling firm
they represent, to lease the property
near the pumping station where one OF
the artesian water and natural gas
wells is located, and put it down fur
ther until the source of the petroleum
lis found, They propose to do this al
their own expense, and in as much as
the well is down over thirteen hundred
feet, they agree to go two Thousand
feet deeper. The plan is for the city tt
contribute the present well, and if the
thing succeeds get small royalty OF
the output of oil from the well, anC
without any further expense
This certainly sounds reasonable t
everybody in Pierre. All that is needed
at this time is for some one to go ahead
and as Messrs. Tuttle and Lee, for tn,
firm they represent, are anxious to dt
the work and bear the expense of open
ing up what they are certain is a big OF
field here, they should be given tn
i chance. A meeting of the city council
and citizens is being arranged for t.
close the deal

Concerning Sakhalin.

Aberdeen News: The island of
Sakhalin, or Saghaglien, or its native
name, Taraika, the ownership of which
is in dispute between Russia and Japan,
is described as "a long, narrow strip of
land that extends almost due north and
south few miles off the coast of
Asiatic Russia. 1t lies il, the south
west part Of the Sea of Okhotsk, in lat
itude 50 degrees. 1t is separated from
the main land only by the six mile wide
Mania Strait. Unfertile, mountainous
and cold, it offers little encourage
ment to agriculture, but is extremely
rich in coal and is said to possess great
deposits of gold and other precious
metals. Its coast is bleak and uninvit-
ing. On the western shore lofty cliffs
rise up sheer out of the sea, unbroken
by bays or any indentations of land
whatsoever while the eastern shore is
little better, although here and there
narrow inlets and lagoons pierce the
barren rocks. Huge forests however,
abound and will be a source of fabulous
income to the islands future owner
But its chief value lies in its fisheries
Its waters are said to be the finest fish
ing ground in the world. The popula
ton of Sakhalin is insignificant. In Is
72there were 13OOOinhabitants, counting
all sorts and conditions, and today there
are about &c 600 or little more than

Of Issues Between Bowen
and LOOMS Is Opened.
Bowen Acquainted With Loom
is Answer Preparing Reply.
Calls on President--RefeT!ed to Sec. Taft
Week VIII Settle The Case.

Washington. May 15.-The formal
trial of Tho issue between Acting Sec.
i.uoinis and Minister Bowen began, to-
day, when Mr.. Bowen presented HIM
self at the White House. He had
sent ii card. last night to the President
and followed. this morning, by appear
ing in person at the White House,
where he WAS Immediately received by
the President, who told him that as he
come in answer to his summons, he
would be pleased to have the minister
call at once upon Sec. Taft. Mr.. Bow
on accordingly went to the war de-
paitment and spent Il short time in
conversation with the secretary. The
status of the case is officially eX-
planned as follows:
Saturday night, Acting Sec. Loomis
notified See. Taft that he had COM
pletcu the preparation of his answer TO
the various allegations concerning HIM
self which had been transmitted to the
secretary of state, in the first place,
and then to the secretary of war by
Minister Bowen. Minister Bowen had
been careful to explain to Sec. Taft
that these were not his charges; that

formation Of the department. Sec. Taft
requested Mr.. Loomis. in view of the
lateness of the hour, to defer the sub
mission of his answer until the follow
ing day. Accordingly, Sunday MORN
ing, Mr.. Loomis waited upon Sec. Taft
and submitted his answer with accom-
panying documents bearing upon the
subject.
Sec. Taft went over these with care
and then carried them to the White
House. where he told the President of
their contents and consulted with him
as to the course to be pursued. 1t was
then agreed that Sec. Taft should UNI
dcrt Ike to arrange the matter for pre-
seltation 70 the President; in other
words. that he should do all the pre-
liminary work of sitting out the evil
dcnce and preparing synopsis for the
Presidents consideration. consulting
with nim only about such details as
seemed to be absolutely necessary to
bring to his attention.
So when Minister Bowen called upon
Mr.. Taft, today. the latter turned over
to him both Mr.. Loomis' answer to
the charges transmitted by Mr.. Bowen
with the accompanying documents, and
Mr.. LOOMS counter-charseS against
Minister Bowen to the effect that he
instigatcd the circulation of unfOunded
reports against his superior officer. in
yoivjng malfeasance in office. The sec
rotary advised Mr.. Bowen to prepare
at once his answer and in order to ia
clitate his task rendered him the SER
vices of one of the war department
stenograrhers. Mr.. Bowen returned to
his hotel and began his task.
1t is Soc. Taft's expectation that this
matter can be cleared up within a
week.
Mr.. Bowen completed his reply, to-
night and will present it to Sec. Taft.
tomorrow. Mr.. Bowen declined to give
any ;ntimatiOn of its nature.
