At last we are enabled to give the
public definite and specific news. We
have struck our first gusher and it
is one Of the best in the field.
Do you know what this means? Do
you know that it answers every one
OF the critics and those who have
scoffed and lied about Buick Oil? 1t
tells our stockholders that their judg-
ment has been right. More than this.
1t tells in direct language the value of
Buick Midway holdings.
Think of an oil well that is to-day
producing from 1.500 to 5000 barrels.
At the present selling price OF oil this
means daily value of from $50 TO
$1,500 to the well. This is not the
important question. however. The real
proof of this well lies in the fact that
our Midway forty is a proven terri
tory. We can sink ten wells; yes, If
teen wells, to the acre. We have
forty of such acres, and this is just
a small proportion of our holdings in
this field. We do not intend to stop,
now that our well has come in, but
the crew that has been working upon
No. ! well will now shift their opera
tions to Buick Midway No. ., and
another crew will be installed as soon
as possible upon Buick No. and No.
and No. j.

no difficulty from this source. Our
oil. as it flows from our well. will
flow from our settling tanks and
watts into the great pipe lines close
by, and from there on north to Frisco
or West to the Pacific Coast, where
il will be loaded into vessels or trains
of cars and sent to market.
We have repeatedly told the public
that We would bring in this well and
that 1t would be a big one We have
made good our predictions. The tele-
gram we received and quoted above
bears the announcement only that the
ceive full and complete information
from Mr.. y. D. Buick who is upon
the field. and this information we
shall send forth to our stockholders
in a special report, published in the
Buick Oil News" We shall be glad
to give this report also to every one
who writes to Us for IL. One week
from to-day we shall also publish the
very latest developments with respect
to our No. / well, and our other hold
ings, throughout the press of this
country. Thousands upon thousands
of people have written to us that they
contemplated purchasing Buick Oil
stock when we actually had struck
oil. When this announcement appears
it will demonstrate the value of Buick
Oil shares, and the record this COM
pany has made in the sale of its stock
heretofore will be as nothing when
compared to the amount OF stock that

The Department of Agriculture has is
sued a warning to people to beware of
pork that is not properly cooked, re-
gardless of the fact that it has been

found to be in good order.

you about the Buick Midway,\we NON
tell you about our 550-acre tract And
our forty-aCre tract. The oil men or
the Midway field are wildly enthuSi-
astic over the bringing in OF the
Buick Midway No ! well. This we'll
has been the center CT attraction for
the past ten days. and our reports
from the oil fields have proven to us
that utmost excitement has prevailed
among owners of oil lands adjacent
to the Buick property. Upon one side
OF us the Southern Pacific is reported
to have paid three million dollars for
tract Of land: upon the other is the
California Midway, which has already
brought in one Eusher and is now
down within r. few hundred feet of oil
sands. The bringing in of the Buick
Midway we'll has proven this entire
region. No wonder there is excite
ment. For those who are lucky
enough to own land in this vicinity
one can feel almost certain that every
acre will net them thousands upon
thousands of dollars per day in in
come.
The people Of the United States have
had faith in n. =. Buick, the founder
and inventor of the Buick automobile
They have been instrumental in the
bringing in of the Buick Midway well
for they have purchased Buick Oil
shares because OF the record of D. D.
Buick. Now that Mr.. Bucks predic-
tions have come true in one instance,
this company will not only enjoy the
most unheard-of patronage so far as
future sales of this stock are con-
cerned. but il is enabled by this glad
news to forever silence the malicious
critics who have been attacking Buick
Oil and who have been endeavoring
TO dissatisfy it's stockholders.

The Game Laws Again

We are informed that bill will
be introduced at the present session
of the state legislature prohibiting
the use of automatic guns. After
talking the matter over with local
sportsman, we are positively con
vinced that such Law would not
only be unjust. but also decidedly
unreasonable.
Local sportsmen claim that an ac-
[cident to a hunter is impossible
when carrying an automatic gun. A

sportsman can Jump from boat.

through thick underbrush with an
automatic and it will not be dis
charged.
AS far as automatic or pump guns

game is concerned, a lever gun is
Just as effective but more effective
in the killing of human beings.

A Grand Success

The Carnation Ball given by the
knights of Pythias lodge at the
Opera House last Friday evening
was one of the leading social events
that has been given in the city
this season. The hall was very
prettily decorated for the occasions,
the ceiling and walls of the hall be-
ing trimmed with crepe paper with
punches of red and white carnations
here and there to set off the decora-
tions. The music for the event was
furnished by the Westerlund or
chestra and they were accorded en-
cores during the evening. The
Knights are good tainers and
when they set out to give an even
ing's entertainment you can rest
assured that they are equal to the
to the occasion.

Must be That Way Here

1t is not very often that you will
find mayors of cities that are willing
to admit the plain truths in regard
to the enforcement of the laws of a
city, but Mayor Cullom of Duluth
has done so iE words that would be
hard to misunderstood. He saws
'The laws have never been en-
forced in Duluth and never will be
and the public doesn't want them en-
forced. Of the thousand people who
called on me in my office, last year,
all but five or six came for the pur-
pose of getting me to violate the
law
The Duluth mayor gets at the
essential point OF the whole
question of law enforcement. When
he finds that such large percent
age want the laws violated be
realizes the difficulties of the situa-
tion for with so large a number in
favor OF disregard for law it becomes
a hard matter to deal with for verv
few iuries could be found that would
convict when the moral laws only
have been violated. The proof in
cases of this kind must be absolute
and overwhelming.
It is for reasons of this kind that
so many ordinances which are
passed by councils are not enforced
by the officials of the city, for they
say that the people do not want
them, therefore they are not enforc-
ed. And there appears to be more
truth in the statement that many of
US are willing to admit.

Meeting Monday

A meeting of the Washburn
Horticultural society will be held at
the Commercial Club rooms next
Monday evening which will be of a
great deal of interest to every farm
er in the Washburn district and a
special invitation has been extended
to every one to attend. The ques-
tion to come up for discussion will
be the one relating to the choosing
of suitable potatoes which can be
marketed at good price to the
grower. The time has come when
the Washburn district raises more
potatoes than the markets of this
locality can consume and preparpa.
tions must be made before spring
plan tiLg time to select variety of
potato that can be marketed at a
good profit. With the hun ndred and
one varieties now grown it would be
hard to get anywhere near fair
price and it is for this reason largely
that the farmers are requested to
attend this meeting which has been
arranged for their benefit. Other
matters of Importance to the farmer
and fruit grower will also come up
for discussion aud good deal will
be missed by those not attending.
Special speakers will deliver ad-
dresses during the evening. Every
farmer attend # possible.

Joint Amendment of Interest
to Northern Wis.
Aim is to Help Settle up the
Waste Lands Through
out the State.

Madison. Wis, Feb. 21--State
aid to homefnders is proposed
in a joint constitutional amend
ment resolution offered by AS
semblyman Mahon which aims
to allow the creation of a state
fund for loans to settlers for the
development of farms.
The idea is to aid settler S to
locate on unoccupied lands and
to develop them into farms. 1t
would enable the state to pur-
chase lands and resell the same
to actual settlers for the purpose
of providing them with homes,
and to develop the latent re-
sources of the state and conserve
it's soil.
There are over 10000 acres
of undeveloped land in the state
which is capable, when fully de-
veloped, to provide homes for
many thousands of people; there
are at present thousands of peo-
pie within the ia more than
200, 900 in Milwaukee alone--who
do not own their homes and who
are without means, under pres
ent conditions. of securing
homes in this state.
It is we'll known fact that
within the past five years many
thousands of Industrious and
thrifty citizens of the state have
emigrated to western states and
to the Dominion of Canada in or
der to secure homes where they
can be acquired under conditions
more favorable than exist in this
state. The resolution provides
that there shall be added to Sec
tion 10, article VIII of the con-
stitution, the words: "Pro-
vided further, that the state may
purchase lands, and sell the
same, upon long term or partial
payment arrangements, to per-
sons who shall actually settle up
on and improve such lands, and
that the legislature shall pass
such laws as will insure careful
safeguarding of the states in
terest in such transactions"
