May Have Oil

Edgerly Mail: An eastern
syndicate has offered to lease a
strip of land about three miles
wide and eight miles long lying.
north Of Edgerly, with a view,
to. develope its oil resources.
Some time since in drilling for
water in this section oil was
struck. Since then the REGION
has been inspected by several
oil experts and they have declar
ed conditions entirely favorable
and the oil of commercial value.
"a royalty will be given the
owner Of land wherever Oil is
struck. That Edgeley has both
oil and gas that will burn
We will convince any non-be liev-
er.
Local men have taken the ini-
alive in organizing a company
thatSintends to utilize our gas

vast undeveloped resources, as

macy believe and it needs but

Cyclone Safe

THE old theory that cyclones
do not occur at night seems to
be shaken somewhat by the re-
cent disastrous storm in Okla
homa where more than one hun
dred persons were killed in a cy-
clone occurring at midnight.
Storms Of this character are
frightful enough when they oc-
cur in the daylight, when per-
sons in the path of the storm
have an opportunity to see it's
approach and make an attempt
at escape, but in the night time
they are doubly terrible, since
there is no warning and no
chance of endeavoring to gain
shelter. Fortunately the cyclone
belt does not. include the state Of
North Dakota and it is hoped
there will be no change in its
boundries in the future. as. o.

Secretary Morton declared that
he has served longer than he O.

q. A A r. Ranks
Are Thinning

Every year now with the re.
turn Of Memorial day an increas-
ed amount Of interest is taken
in the gradually decreasing
numbers of the Grand Army of
the Republic, says an exchange,
and as the annual celebration Of
that date is only a short time
ahead it is timely to refer to a
few statistics regarding the birth
and growth, and the later de-
cadence of that organization.
The Grand Army Of the Re-
public was organized in 1866.
The maximum membership was
reached in 1890, when 4O9, 489
names were enrolled. For the
last four years the numbers of
the organization have steadily
dwindled. In 1873 the annual
death rate among every 10000
veterans was SO. Now it is 352.
In 1894 the membership had
fallen to 1863, 083, an average Of
10000 deaths annually. In 1904
membership was 246,26 The
army ia les away and it cannot
be recruited. None but soldiers,
sailors and marines who fought
in the civil war are eligible. #
Evidently the day is not far
| distant when the last of the
Grand Army shall have answer
ed to his name. At the time of
the last annual report from vari-
GUS government Offices in Wash
ingon, 2,175 veterans were en-
ployed, Of whom 226 were over
20 years Of age, 787 between 65
and 20, and ], 1888 beween So and
65. In contemplation of these
figures, however, revealing as
they do the growing age Of the
surviving members of the G. a..
r. and the gradual falling off in
its total membership, there is a
feeling Of satisfaction in the fact
that more and. more there is a
tendency to honor and respect
these rapidly aging veterans,
whose loyalty and patriotism
were put to the test at a time of
need, and who deserve all the
credit that ever has or ever can
be accorded to them.

NO MORE EVASION.
Doctors Reporting Yellow Fever
Gases Promptly.

S0SSS iNtiFAiy'
New Orleans. Sept 1.-Two new causes
contributed to an increase in the mum
Der of new cases today. One was the
fact that there is never a complete
cleanup of cases on Sunday, leaving some
! to find their way into the Monday list
The other was the arrest and incarcera-
ito nOf DR.. Philip Berge, a physician or
standing, on a charge Of having failed
to report two Charities street cases. DR..
Berge was arrested a midnight on Sat
uTday and spent fourteen hours IN
cell. Rather than undergo a similar eX-
perience physicians were particularly
prompt today in reporting cases, seven
teen of them appearing IN person early
in the day at Dr. Whites office.
Some Only Suspicious Cases.
Not all OF the cases reported are like
ly TO develop actually into yellow fever
but the doctors have evidently decided TO
err on the side of excessive caution If
they err at all. DR.. Berge in the mean
time insists that his failure to get his
information to DR.. Whites office was
unintentiOnal He communicated II 10 the
emergency hospital When arraigned to-
DAY DR.. Berge was released on a nominal
bond. The great majority of physicians
have been Zealously cooperating with
DR. White. Hereafter DR.. White expects
to have absolutely no complaint TO make
of IerelictiOns among members of the
profession. The fact that the situation
is unchanged except perhaps for the bet
ter is evident from the relatively small
number of deaths recorded against sew
enty-tWO on the same date in 1873.
Danger in Moving Day"
DR. White and shl advisory committee
of the New Orleans society today sent
letter TO the mayor in connection with
the near approach of moving day" Oct.
!. The doctor says
Persons removing from infected LOCAL.
ties may later develop the fever in I'M
infected neighbOrhOOds thereby develop
ing new fOci. Others now residing in
unaffected houses may contract the dis
ease by moving into houses where mild
cases of fever may have occurred and
recovered withSut medical attention and
consequently escaping fumigation. Nom
immunes coming into such houses Will
almost inevitably contract yellow fever,
thereby adding to our present troubles"
The doctors urged that the mayor take
such steps as may be necessary TO delay
the general movement for thirty DAYS.
The mayor promises TO act in the mat
ter
The hopefuness in the situation among
the public at large was manifested in the
large crowds which viewed the Labor pa
rade today.

CHOLERA GAINS
IN vIRULENCE
Twenty-Three Deaths From Asiatic
Seourge in Prussia.
THE DISEASE is SPREADING
GOVERNMENT TAKING ENER-
CELTIC MEASURES.

n ERLIN. Sept T. ) D. nit was Of
n ficially bulletined today that sixty
six cholera cases and twenty-three
deaths have occurred in Prussia OF
this number ten new cases and three
deaths were reported up to noon today.
The number of cases reported by private
sources since the official bulletin was
made up indicates a total of fully sew
enty
While anxiety is not yet the word to
describe the feelings of the imperial
health Officers, concern over the cholera
situation does not exist Most of the
new cases do not break out among the
Guaranteed persons but are suddenly
heard of in detached farm houses or vii
lagos not contiguous TO the Vistuia.
Hence the Inference is that infected dis
tricts are widening slowly and the meas
ures TO hold the disease strictly within
the existing boundaries have not been
fully successful. These measures, how
ever, are being sharply increased. Or
ders were Issued today to close all the
refreshment houses along the Nistula eX-
cept those located in towns. These small
restaurants and bars are fFeQuented by
river men who are the most likely TO
be infected
In anticipation OF cholera reaching BeT-
lin, the government began the erection
yesterday Of two barracks for cholera
patients or suspects at KOepenick. on
the River Spree, near Berlin. and also
established an inspection station for river
traffic.
