CHURCHES MAKE SMALL GAIN

Membership of all the churches of
the United States increased by 594 ,OOC
last year, according to statistics pre-.
pared by DR.. H. K. Carroll, formerly
director of the religious census. The
increase is less than II per cent.
"It cannot be considered at all sat

"The canvass shows that the greater
part of this country's population are
not church members. The body OF
ministers, one OF whose principal
duties is obviously to secure converts
is increasing.
The Methodist church shows the
greatest proportionate gain in mem
bership, 2O4 200 over 1910. The Ro-
man Catholic church shows the great
est numerical gain, 100000.

THAT HIDDEN TREASURE

That there are numerous powerful
reasons why Pierre is in the center OF
or near a great petroleum or gas field
is shown in Bulletin 4O1, by George
F. Becker of the United states Coo
logical Survey ina pamphlet on ssLo-
cal Magnetic Disturbances and the
Genesis of Petroleum" Mr. Becker.
has prepared a map of the United
States showing the relation of ,varia-
tions of the magnetic needle to petro-
leum deposits, and has found that In
variably there is a marked declina-
ton of the magnetic needle in oil or.
gas fields. On this point he says: !:
"Studyof the map accompanying this
paper justities the statement that the
condolences between the occurrence
of petroleum and local disturbances
of the compass needle are too numer-
Gus to be attributed to mere accident
or chance. There must therefore be
a direct or an indirect historical con-
nection between the two phenomena
in the regions of coincidence" There
is variation of ID degrees at Pierre.
Mr. Becker mentions the presence OF
sedimentary rocks, and the presence
of marsh gas in hog springs as indi-
cations of petroleum. The Pierre gas
coming to the surface in hot artesian
wells is the same gas. He names "the
presence of water, preferably salt.
the exclusion Of air, and the exist
ence of an impervious protecting
stratum of clay seem to be essential
conditions towards rendering the
transformation possible. Seaweeds,
mollusks, crustaceans, fishes and
microscopic organisms Of many
kinds contribute material to tie
change" All these materials and
conditions, are to be found along the
Cheyenne to the north Of Pierre.
These scientific verifications Of the
statements of oil that Pierre is the
center of q petroleum field, only con-
firms the belief Of the citizens Of
Pierre in this proposition. who are
working for 5000 foot we'll to fin-
ally settle the question.

INDIAN LANDS TO BE OPENED

After all there is to be land open
ing of the remaining farms in the re-
servation this fall.
The bill providing for the opening
struck snag in the attitude of east
ern and southern senators who
thought that school sections should
not be paid for by the government
and turned over to the state. Others
declared that some portion of the
funds from the land was being di-
verted from the Indians.
So they voted it down the first time
but after it was called up again and
everything had been explained to the
satisfaction of the large body of
senators who refrained from voting
the first time, the bill with its ap pro-
priation was passed.

BLUNT TO MITCHELL ROAD

Potter County News: The new pro-
posed line of railroad that is to con-
meet Mitchell with Blunt, S. D., is
progressing rapidly and the promot-
ers have every assurance that the
work will be far enough along by
spring to start the construction.
This road is being promoted by the
land owners, each of whom contracts
to pay in $100 per quarter section if
the road is run within eight miles of
the land. At the present time over
95 per cent of the resident owners
have signed the contracts and with
the proper cooperation of the nom
residents the road will be an assured
fact. The promoters have just COM
menced TO send out the contracts to
the non-residents and to date have
met with fine success, having receiv
ed every contract all signed up. With
a fair degree of success for the next
sixty days, there will be enough sub
scribed to make the road an assured
fact.

has just returned from a trip through
Iowa and points east and reports the
non-residents as being very much in
favor of the roads as it will open a
large territory that has been held

distance from railroad towns. This
line will pass through Buffalo, Jer-
auld, Hyde and parts of Dawson and
Hughes counties and will be about
125 miles long.

THE WoODMEN RATES

AT first thought there is a tendency
upon the part of members of the
Modern Woodmen order to rebel be-
cause of the increase of rate. But
when it is reasoned out that under
the present plan it is an impossibility
to pay into the order enough money
during life membership to pay the
death benefit, there is some Justice,
and more business sense, in the in.
crease of rates.
OF course it has been contended
thatthe increasing membership would
care for the payment Of death losses;
that young members joining the ord
er would keep the average member
ship age down, and that the society
would be good for many years yet.
But when actuaries who make a
science of studying life insurance, and
business of preparing mortuary
records, come forward with the state
ment that three more more years am
der the present plan would see the
Modern Woodmen with liabilities of
$500 900, 900, the figures are appalling
and point to but one result-absolute
ruin.
There is a possibility of course, that
the rates will be raised higher than
seems necessary to care forlmmediata
needs. But what of the future? Any
student of fraternal insurance knows
that the plans of most organizations,
as in force at present, are entirely in
adequate to assure future protection
to the members, and some one must
assume the burden for the future.
The protection furnished by the
Woodmen in the past has been prac.
tically gratis; thousands upon thou:
sands of members have died and their
families have received insurance fol
which the deceased member did not
pay, perhaps, five cents upon the
dollar. This procedure can not last
The sensible thing for the mem bers
of the order 70 do is to stick by the
society until the proposed new rates
are known to be excessive or burden.

| the order then.
