The Government is gre atty interested

the amount of oil produced Mr.. Pierce
believes this royalty should be based on
a price OF at least 81 per barrel, as oil
is bringing higher prise than that n

March T.
Johnson's death leaves the political Sit
uation in North Dakota in an extremely
chaotic condition. AS McCumber comes

two Senators by the legislature.

Representative Gronna, from the same
county as Johnson. will now enter the

Representative Marshall is already in the
race against McCumbcr for the long term.
Former Senator Hansbrough. now in

contest. New men will develop.
Senator Johnson was hfty-eight years
