similar substances which 60 to mako

of what might be termed "level head

the origin of these substances. Rea-
soning then along these lines, does it
not seem like foregone conclusion
that with coal mines operating at the

informed. that coal in abundance UNI
derlies the surface some fifty or sixty
miles West or Northwest of Pierre,
and the writer is convinced that .
liberal supply of natural petroleum
exists very close to Pierre.
We trust that those respected citi-
zens of this place, who in their eager
ness to deny whatever the writer has
said, denied or ridiculed these theor-
les or facts as they may prove to be,

THE Joker IS SHOWING UP

The first man named for the new
tax commission, and tho man chosen
for the full six year term was the at
torney for the Milwaukee railroad
company. He resigned position
which brought him So 900 annually to
accept a position which gives him
but $4,000 annually. The new tax
commission takes the place of the old
board of equalization, and the annual
meeting of county auditors has been
done away with. The new commits
sion is absolute in matters of assess
ment of the public service corpora
tions, including of course the rail
roads. If a stalwart governor had
placed railroad and corporation at
torney on such a commission, the
resentment of the people would have
been strong, and justly SO. We are
wondering how they are going to take
it from Governor Byrne. From all
we can learn, the corporations are
very we'll satisfied with the new law.
The people have nothing to say about
1t because the emergency clause was
tackled on to it and hence they cannot
vote on the measure at a referendum.

TO DRILL FOR OIL

A Mr.. Fox of Illinois, who is
wealthy land owner of Illinois has
decided to drill for oil on his lands in.
western Potter county in the spring.
An article in recent number of the
Gettysburg paper says he is taking
share leases of his neighbors and has
made deposit in the bank of Gettys-
burg guaranteeing that he viii put
down several deep wells iu the spring
and summer of 1918.
This oil development ia one of the
great things to come to this locality.
We have held that there were the best
of indications to warrant the expect
ing of a great oil field to the north or
west of Pierre, while some others who
we're too pessimistic OF too eager to
knock and disparage the faith of these
whose vision was clearer, have sought
to even criticise the integrity of those
of us who have given the subject
more intelligent investigation.
Few people are aware that it was
the oil discoveries near to Los Ange-
les, CAL. that started the great up
building of that city years back, and
some who do not expect Pierre to
grow will be surprised if not disap.
pointed at the developmements that
are to come to this locality during the
next few years.

NATURAL GAS,

Congressman at Large Claude WeaV-
er Attains Distinctive Honors.

Washington, d. c., June lS.-Sel-
dom has a new congressman been so
extremely fortunate in forging to the
front as has Representative at large
Claude Weaver, of Oklahoma. The
first signal honor that befell the Ok
lahoma solon was his selection as
secretary Of the Oklahoma congress-
ional delegation Immediately follow
ing the inauguration of President
Wilson. Senator owen was chosen
chairman.
While at his home In Oklahoma
City recently at the bedside of his
seriously sick daughter, Miss Bar
bara, the ways and means committee
Of the house of representatives, in
charge of the choice of committee
membership, conferred upon Mr. Wea-
yer the distinction of membership in
the new banking and currency COM
mittee. which is Second in Importance
to the ways and means committee,
and will have charge of the currency
legislation in the house which Pres
ident Wilson just now is insisting
upon.
In the recent reorganization OF the
national democratic congressional
committee, Congressman Weaver was
chosen the Oklahoma member on the
part of the house and Senator Gore
on the part of the senate. These
honors are all distinctive and at least
two are unusual in the case of new
member.

Dear Sirs: | have travelled many
miles to Investigate the oil possibili-

standpoint. so far as my Investigations
have gone, you seem to have a great
prospect. Indications not only i'm
pressed me west of ATdmore at the
Wheeler fields, but all that undevelop-
ed country lying between Ardmore
and Wheeler looks good. Southwest
in the Cheek neighborhood and down
the bayou is IDEAL south of Ardmore
a few miles near your great asphalt
um deposits is good oil territory. Be
ginning at the east boundary OF your
city and extending east and south
easterly, is in my opinion one Of tie
finest prospects | ever saw. Then
on he north and northeast of Ard
more along Caddo and thence down
the Whshita river is a field that will
eventually prove its great value as an
oil field. What impresses me more
than all else, is the apathy of your
own town people. Here are these
great possibilities lying right at your
door, and no concerted effort made
to develop them by the people most
vitally interested. You have pretty
town, and a lot of good people in it.
Your schools cannot be eXcelled. You
have a fine water supply, your agri-
cultural and fruit lands cannot be
cXcelled. Your town is even grow
ing little, and your merchants maxi
ing living. You have some very
fine public buildings-your courthouse

gin prospecting for oil. The chances
are ten to one that you will meet with

head of it and you viii see how easy
it would be to get this amount OF
money together. Make the shares 81
each so that everybody can buy one
or more of them. 1t means a great
deal to a town to be an oil center.
You can make Ardmore one. Excuse

IN SOCIETY
By Mary Gwynn Whiteman Telephone l42

Mrs. Arthur Adams, president of the
First Ward club spoke of her plans
for the coming year, naming as the
chiefest the purpose of interesting the
mothers in the ward in the club.
Mrs. Peterman, of the Second ward,
former president, spoke of their work.
There is, perhaps, in Ardmore no wo-
man more interested in the public
schools than Mrs. Peterman. The en-
thusiastic support she has given the
Mothers clubs is all the more praise
worthy because it is entirely unset
fish, as she has no child to share in
the benefits.
She briefly reviewed the work of
that ward of which the Mothers club
should justly be proud.
Mrs. Billy Baker of Shawnee and
Miss Philips played a beautiful piano
duet.
Mrs. julius Kahn, president of the
Third Ward Mothers club, spoke N
its behalf. Mrs. Kahn has been =
splendid worker in the club and her
election as president insures its sue
cess the coming year.
Mrs. Ringer spoke of the Fourth
Ward Mothers club This ward was
the first to organize a Mothers club,
and has been a great deal Of assist
ance to the school and to the teach
crs.
Mrs. Baker of Shawnee gave love-
ly vocal number.
Miss Daisy Nichols read the paper
by Mrs. Pugh on the Relation of Mo-
theirs clubs to the Schools.
Miss Nichols prefaced the paper
with a beautiful tribute to Mrs. Pugh,
in few sentences, couched in the
strong, masterful language that is
characteristic of Miss Nichols.
Mrs. Peterman read well prepared
paper on teaching and governing, ac-
cording to the laws of psychology.
The most delightful feature Of the
program was the song by Mrs. E. E.
Guillot, accompanied by her little
daughters, Ernestine at the piano and
Gladys on the violin. Mrs. Guillot's
song was so much appreciated that
she had to respond to an encore.
Woman's Work in the World was
discussed by Mrs. W1hiteman.
Mrs. w. H. Bumpass read paper
on the effect of heredity and envir-
onment on children in which her
thoughts were excellently expressed.
Supt. Richards closed the program
with few remarks, most happily in
troduced.
He urged the mothers to lend their
influence to the passing of the bonds
which are proposed to be issued for
the purpose of installing heating
plants in the four ward buildings.
After the program an invitation was
extended the domestic science rooms
where an informal reception was held
and delightful refreshments of punch,
cream and cake were served.

NOT GUILTY SAY YEGGS.
Men Accused of Robbery First Met
in Ardmore Jail Cell.

d. E. Parker and Charles Waldron,
charged with robbery with firearms,
were arraigned on final information
in Judge Clark's section of the dis
trict court Wednesday. They plead
not guilty and their bonds were fixed
at $1,000 each.
Parker and Waldron are alleged to
be the two men who entered the store
of Frank Mirkovsky, on the south side,
Just before closing time on the night
of MAY %, and one of them rffled the
till while the other held gun on the
proprietor and his wife. They wore
blue handkercLiefs on their faces.
Mirkovsky's wife had just taken S173
out of the room, leaving S150 in
change in the till. This was all the
robbers took. Parker and Waldron
were arrested later in the night.
Parker was indicted several years
ago at Ardmore as an accomplice to
murder He was sentenced to a
term in the penitentiary, but later
pardoned. While Parker was confin-
ed in the Jail at Ardmore awaiting
his trial for murder, Waldron was
arrested in Ardmore and placed in
the adjoining cell to Parker. This is
said to have been their first acquaint-
ance. Since Parker's release from
the penitentiary he has been seen nu-
merous times with Waldron.-Okla-
homan.
