Scientific PHASE
Of CAS- QUESTION
BIOLOGISTS TESTIFY IN GAS
HEARING NOW BEING HELD
HERE.
JORDAN WAS A JONAH
Next 10 Grant Stcbbins lie Holds tho
Record for Drilling Dry
Holes.

The scientific phase Of the natural
gas situation in Oklahoma was tho
principal subject of discussion and
examination at yesterdays hearing IN
the suit brought by the city of Kansas
city against the Kansas city Gas COM
pany. Four witnesses were examined,
Prof Hutchison, geologist, heading
the list.
The first to take the stand was
Robert Jordan who testified In re-
gard to the gas well he owns In con-
nection with Tad Reese in Section 80
1913 which came in good for seven
million feet Of gas. He also related
his experience drilling for gas in Sec
tion q in the same township, N
which test faiiure was the result, Mr..
Jordan testified that he was only threo
or four wells behind Grant Stebbins,
the record breaker for dry holes hav'
ing been 'in on" 20 or 23 in success
sion. which evidence was not pleasing
to the Kansas City attorneys who arc
seeking to collect Five Hundred Dol
lars q day for each day the pressure
falls below three ounces In the main.
He further stated that Mr.. McBeth y
the Kansas Natural Gas Co. had been
negotiating for the gas he now has and
many other gas wells which he might
get, the price to be decided on latAr
which price was to be paid TO all pro-
ducers so that there might be no dis
elimination.
T.. Il. Tucker was the next witness
and he, like loyal son of Tulsa that
ne is. handed out some good booster
dope for oklahoma in general and for
the neighborhood Of Tulsa In porticn-
lar. He testified that but little pains
had been taken to conserve gas, but
remarked that he didn't mean to say
that there Is waste but that the cil
pays the best. He further testified
that II Kansas city raised the price.
the Kansas Natural would be in po-
sition TO pay more. He estimated that
at the close OF 1910 there was pro-
duced a billion and a quarter feet OF
gas daily. for which there was mar
kct for only two hundred and fifty
million.
George Canterbury followed Mr..
Tucker and testified that with a oe.-
ter price drilling for gas would be-
come fad among producers and not
as now an unwelcome find when gaa
Is uncovered.
Professor Hutchinson occupied the
witness chair nearly all OF the after
noon and the entire theory Of geology
as applied TO the oil industry was
written into the records. Mr.. Hutch
lnson gace In detail the theory ~
the formation Of oil and gas. and
seems TO lean to the theory that oil
comes from decayed animal matter
in other words is the pre- historic anil
mails which have been fried out for
their fat by some volcanic eruption
in ancient times That is not ex-
actly the way the professor put II.
but IL is about as he gave II. In mueh
more and different terms. II Is safe
TO say the visiting attorneys will be
able to talk wisely about "anticlin-
nails" and stratas when they arrive
home. The professor has this ad-
vantage that he is the man who To-

The first wedding ceremony conduct
ed in whispers, 30 far as is known, oc.
Cured at Vancouver, Wash, when q
Portland dentist married pretty
young woman from that city, the we'd.
ding taking place at the home Of Rev.
Walter I. Eek. Of st. Paurs English
Lutheran church.
Mr.. Eek was at tho church, when
two stylishly gowned young women
appeared and informed him that his
services would be necessary for the
happiness of Miss Martha Frances
Owens, who was to become the bride
Of DR.. Hugh Charles Smith, both of
Portland. The witness was Miss Fay
Forrest Gibson, also of Portland.
Two weeks ago, when ending a
prayer In church, Rev. Mr.. Eek sud.
denly lost his power Of speech, and
since then he has conversed in whis.
pers.
Trying to recover his voice in vain,
he whispered: II can't talk; all I can
do is whisper"
Touched by sympathy, the deter.
mined bride-to-be whispered back:
THAT will be all right. Just 80 long
as 1t is quiet we don't care. We came
over here to have q quiet wedding
and you will do fne."
Going to the pastorate, the two to
be married answered in whispers the
whispered questions asked by the

BEMIDJI TO PLAY WALKER.
Cass County Five Will Clash With
High School Boys Instead Of
Fosston
GAME PLAYED AT CITY HALL

It has been announced by Manager
Morris Ryan of the High school bask-
ct ball five that the Walker high
school quint will play here tomor-
row night instead of Fosston, as pre-
viously announced.
AS Walker has been playing a
strong game thus far this year, it is
expected that the contest tomorrow
will be an interesting one from the
start. Walker recently defeated Axe
ley by large margin. Akeley was
also defeated by Bemidji last Fri
day by a score of 80 to z.
The game will be played in the
City Hall, and will be followed by a
dance. which will be given by the
band boys.
It is very probable that the Be-
midi basket tossers will journey to
Fosston Saturday and meet the quint
of that city on that day.
The Bemidji boys have put in a
hard week at practice and Coach Ro-
binson says that if they are defeated
by Walker it will be because they are
outclassed. ~

Asserts Gambling Spirit is Inflamed
And Coaches Do Less Work

ARTICLE WRITTEN BY JOHNSON
Under Caption, Football, A specta-
Gle or sport?''. And Dwells
At Length on Alleged Evils

A scathing denunciation of the
football system at the University of
Minnesota, as being highly profess
ional, thoroughly commercialized
and serving merely to furnish spec
tacle rather than sport, is con-
tanned in an editorial published in
the current issue. of the Alumni
weekly, the official organ of the gen.
eral alumni association, published on
the campus. 1.-.
The article, which was written by
E. B. Johnson, secretary of the asso-
citation, under the caption Football
"A Spectacle or Sport?" Is the
feature of the issue, and dwells at
length on the alleged evils that have
crept into the system at the univer-
sity. *.ss
Games are scheduled for purposes
other than pure sport, extravaganza
has crept in the expenditures of the
athletic association, gambling spir-
it is infamed by the gridiron sport,
the men are trained with care for a
supreme struggle j; rather than for
their physical benetft--these are some
of the charges in the editorial:
The point also is raised as to the
propriety of paying coach, who
spends few hours daily during a
three-month season, more salary
than professors who devote their en-
tire time the year around to college
activities.
