Mixed Motives,

Few motives in this world can be

a lecturer. "A clerk wept bitterly on
the beach one stormy day while out on
boiling sea tossed a cockleshell Of a
fishing boat wherein sat his employer.
As the clerk watched with wild eyes
the little boat, now buried under white
foam, now shooting forward gallantly,
now buried again, he clasped his hands
and cried in great anguish, If that

The probable increase in the number
of congressman in this state from two
to three and the consequent necessity
of dividing the state INTO congressional
districts is bringing some comment
from the press of the state as to the
manner in which the division should
be made. Some of the larger news
papers in the Red River valley state
that naturally the division will give one
congressman to the western part of the
state, and divide the central and east
crn part of the state into two districts
on an east and west line, putting Grand
Forks into one district and Fargo into
another. We do not believe the lcgis
laturc will make any such division when
a division of the state is made. The in
tercsts of the Rcd River valley coun-
ties are so largely similar that it is very
likely the legislature will make one dis
trict Of the Red River valley and con-
tiguous counties and then divide the
rest of the state on al east and west
line. the exact lines of division in all
cases being determined by the figures
of population. to put as nearly the
same number of people as possible in
each district. The central and western
parts Of the state are growing rapidly

Inc report then describes at consid-
craole length the operations OF the va
rlous companies operating in tho hclds.
ana states that an investigating party
ost June was sent Into the field by the
santa fe company. This party included
an oil expert who expressed himself as
being very favorablv impressed with the
prospects OF the field. The report then
says:
One very important feature that must
not be overlooked in connection with
these nelds is that In October. 1900, the
United states government withdrew from
further entry all lands in this district
fore that date, AS q consequence OF
such enactment it Will be absolutely
necessary for all tho land now being
held TO have proper and legal discoveries
OF oil made upon ii by actual drilling
ioeiore the end of this year U9l0G or
else such land Will revert TO the gov
ernment and cannot be relocated until
such possible time as the government
may throw 1t open to be relocated
In conclusion, the report says;
The geology Of this district is un-
PucStionably decidedly favorable from an
oil standooint. The presence of 4 cor
tain amount of oil OF splendid quality Is
an absolutely proven fact. Whether a
sufficient quantity OF oil will ultimately
be developed to warrant the installation
OF adequate transportation facilities,
either pipe line railroad. or both
and thus TO convert tho industry into
n commercially successful proposition, can
only be determined by continued drill
ing.
The most that can now safely be sald
on this point is that the results OF the
development work done 10 date nave
givcn most promising returns. ! cannot
conscientiously state that any money
spent In the further development OF these
fields will be considered a safe and con-
scrvativc Investment but | do nrmly BE-
licvc that for anybody who Is able imam
cially and willing TO take chance ON
what is certainly an attractive and. prom
ising speculation. tho opportunities now
offered by the san Juan oil fields merit
very careful consideration.
AS supplement to this report. mon.
lion is made OF a new discovery OF oil
by the London and San Juan company
five miles farther up the anticlinal slope,
which still farther extends what may be
called the proven area.
