FIND ENCOURAGEMENT
No Difficulty Encountered in Securing Oil and Gas Leases

So far no difficulty has been encountered in securing oil and gas leases for Messrs, Payne 6 Reese and there is every reason to believe that the requisite g. 900 acres and more will be secur- ed for them within the coming few days.
 Judge Butt, who has been placed in charge of the business of securing leases, is very much pleased with the sentiments thus far expressed by the land owners in lending encouragement to the enterprise. Most all seem to realize that they have all to gain and nothing to lose in the trans action are willing to help the thing along by accepting the very liberal terms offered them.
 We are not informed of the ex- act intentions of the promoters of the scheme to prospect for oil and gas here, but it is said to be their intention to commence operating as soon as machinery can be placed on the ground af- ter leases on 200O acres of land has been secured.
 Regarding the responsibility of Payne 6 Reese, we find that they are not only men of means, but have had wide experience in the oil fields of Tulsa, Okla, Mir. Payne has visited Green Forest twice in connection with his deal here, but has said little con- cerning himself or the other gentleman interested, only giv- ing assurance that they are ready to deliver their part of the goods as described in the lease contracts. The fact that he pro- poses to put up thousands of dol lars in the work of development speaks enough for his confidence in the discovery of oil here. He is said to have declared the indi. cations here was next thing to the best he has ever seen any where.
 An oil discovery here is just about what we need to push along the handsome growth our town and country is now en- toying. It would make things hum, and if we don't miss our guess there will be some substantial results come of the present effort to find oil and gas here.

FROM TWO WEEKS AGO

CONCLUDED FROM TWO WEEKS AGO
 From a psychological stand point the natives, particularly the Moros, among whom I have spent the last four years, fur nishes the Americans an inter- esting subject to study. Many and varied have been our ex- periences with them. Until af- ter the American possession in 1901 the Moros knew little of the white man or his ways, which differ greatly from their tribal customs. These people are na- turaly lazy, improvident and superstitious.
 The only influence that can be used effectively is force. They have been accostumed to the rule of their Datu, who holds in him the power of life and death. He also controls their religious ob- servance, through their super stitions. On one occasion we de- sired to arrest certain man. He went to his chef and report ed that the Americans were try ing to kill him. The chef call ed his tribe, about 300, together and told them that the Americans were going to destroy the tribe and they would have to fight for their lives, accordingly he armed both men and women, and sent us word that he was prepared to fight and would meet us the fol- lowing morning at sunrise. He instructed his people not be afraid as he would call upon Mo- hamid who would be able to keep the Americans from firing their guns. When we arrived at the place we found the Moros in a skirmished line awaiting us. Our commanding officer called upon the chef to surrender the man we were wanting to arrest He refused to do so, and declar- ed he would fight. Under thes e conditions a fight was inevitable. The tribe clung to their faith that Mohamid would protect them from the Americans guns, but the result of the encounter told a different story. This great su- perstition and faith in whatever their Datu tells them is one of the points against which we have to contend.
 The last Island of any impor- tance brought under American rule was Basilian, about 30 miles off the coast of Mindanao.
 When l assumed the duties as Governor of Basilian, I found a state of outlawry existing, mur- ders, thefts and robberies were being perpetuated by roaming bands of we'll armed outlaws, led by religious fanatics. My first proposition was to destroy the outlaw element, and after gain ing the confidence of the Moro law adding people to establish law and order in the districts. After a year of hard work and fighting the outlaws were either killed or captured and imprison- ed. Now in this district, in ad- dition to the Govenorship, I was judge and sheriff and command. ed the military force, so my authority was absolute. If a man violated the law I could pre- fer charges against him, arrest him, try him and sentence him on the spot. One day a Moro came
