GETTYSBURG is AROUSED
Over Possibility Of the ceaeing Of OIL
Drilling.


Drilling.
Gettysburg.-Frank p. Fox, presi-
dent of the Fox Oil and Gas company,
Indianapolis, Ind, confirmed the report
that the drilling for oil in Potter coun-
ty would cease after striking the ar
tesian belt unless he could secure a
compact and entire body of land sur
rounding the test hole. The test we'll
for oil on the Worth farm, section H.
1876, is in a group of quarter Sec
lions owned by men who live in other
parts of the United States The resi-
dent owners Of lands have leased to
the Fox company some $4,000 acres of
lands, but these lands are not in a SOL
id and compact body. The bulk of the
land so far leased is scattered over
the western part of Potter county
from the north to the south border
Of the county. Mr.. Fox has made
earnest efforts to lease the lands near
the site of the we'll that is being drill
ed, but the owners of the lands SO far
have refused to lease the lands. The
non-residents have so far shown lit
tye sympathy for the oil project, while
the resident farmers have practically
all leased their lands to the Fox COM
pany.
Mr.. Fox says that the drillers will
reach the artesian belt in two weeks
and then if the nonresident land own
ers refuse to lease the lands, the
drilling will cease.
The drilling for oil is being pushed
rapidly and the drill is running night
and day with two shifts of men.
Business men here have done all
they could to help the project and the
Fox company has spent about $4,000
already. The news that Mr.. Fox would
pull out the drill if the non-residents
did not lease their lands in the vicin-
ity of the we'll, was received here with
much CONSERVATION.

Hopkins took office April 1, he has
declined to issue warrants for work

for their pay until the board of coun-
ty commissioners audited the bills
and directed Auditor Hopkins to is
sue warrants in payment for their
services. The exporting of the rec
ords has cost the county all told ap-
prOximately $4,000.

DISPLAY GRIEVANCE
GRADUATE VETERINARIANS ARE
OPPOSED TO THE NEW
STATE LAW.
HAPPENINGS OVER THESTATE
What is Going on Here and There
That is Of Interest to the Read.
ere Throughout South o.
kota and Vicinity.

Mitchell.-When the State veteri-
nary Medical association held its an.
nual session in this city early in June
resolution was passed concerning
the attitude that the members Of the
association would maintain toward the
state live stock sanitary board, but at
the time declined to make public the
same until it had been submitted to
all members Of the association, which
Secretary Allen has just given out,
the graduate veterinarians have 4
grievance against the state law
which permits license to be issued
to any person who has good moral
character and setting forth the fact
that they have practiced veterinary
medicine for the past five years. At
the last days session Of the legisla-
ture a bill was passed which offends
the graduate veterinarian. The law
went into effect July /, and provides
that ANY veterinarian who was H.
cenced to practice under and by vir-
tue of license so to do by the board
of examiners in veterinary medicine
and surgery, and who has practiced
continually under such license shall,
upon petition signed by 40 freehold
ers, owners Of live stock, be appoint
ed deputy state veterinarian by the
superintendent of the live stock board
said deputy shall be qualified to in
spect stock leaving or entering the
state"
The graduate veterinarians felt
they had been imposed upon, and
that their profession had been lower
ed when it was made possible to have
anything less than professional man
who had received professional train
ing to act in any such capacity. The
resolution declares that the new law
is unfair and unjust to the graduate
veterinarian and detrimental to the
live stock industry of the state, in
that it lowers the standard of the vet
Urinary profession to such an extent
that the licensed non-graduate, who
has no educational qualifications what
ever, would BE- empowered with the
same authority in the control and
eradication of contagious diseases as
the graduate veterinarian.

STAND FOLLOWS CONFERENCE
Wilson and Advisers axe '''
course-Much Sympathy in Favor
of Removing the Neutrd'''
Laws Seen in Capital.

woshineton July 25.-Presldent
Wilson has determined that no laction
In the present Mexican reVoiatlon
shall obtain arms or ammunltloh iiom
the United States and that neutrality
must be observed in its strlctest
sense. This was the Interpretation VI
the neutrality laws decided upon AFTER
conferences with Senator Bacon anu
Representative Flood, chairmen OF tne
two congressional committees on 1or-
eign relations. While the Mexican reo'
els have been getting no arms hereto
fore, the developments mean that the
Huerta administration will be deprived
of the privilege previously given the
Madero government, and the United
States will treat all sides alike IN the
present dispute.
Result of Complaints.
The situation was precipltated oy
the recent complaints of the consul
tutionalists and their sympathizers IN
this country that if the United States
did not virtually assist the Huerta
government by selling it munitions
of war a termination of hostllltles
would be possible. Sentiment in ia
vor of a new policy grew in congress
to such extent that yesterday a can
vass was made of the foreign rela-
tons committees in both houses deal
ing with foreign relations.
It was found that there would be
little objection to repeating the joint
resolution of March Al, 1912, giving
the president discretionary power to
prohibit expectations of arms or mu-
nitions of war to countries where do
nestle violence existed, but permit
ting him to allow the legally consti-
tuted government of any country to
buy war supplies as usual
Might Bring Adjustment.
It is understood to be the belief of
the administration officials that should
free expectation of arms be permitted
to all factions in Mexico the present
situation might adjust itself. The
Constitutionalists have repeatedly
claimed that lack of arms was the
only bar to quick victory.
The repeal is proposed on the ground
that there is no recognized govern
ment in Mexico and that when the
prohibition was enacted a regularly
constituted government, recognized
officially by the United States, was
in existence.
Gunboat Is Recalled.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt, of the
navy, today called upon Rear Admiral
Cowles at Guaymas to investigate the
report that Thomas Hind, assistant
general superintendent of the South
ern Pacific railroad in Mexico, is held
for ransom by Mexican federals there.
The state department was without
information on the incident.
The supply ship Buffalo has gone
from Guaymas to Topolobampo and
reported conditions quiet at the latter
port, and the battleship Louisiana,
which went to Tuxpam, has returned
to Vera Cruz. This movement leads
to the belief that order has been re-
stored at TuXpam.

favorable to revision the legislature
of 1915 would pass law calling the
convention which must convene within
six months after the passage of the act
calling it.
The thirty years Intervening be-
tween 1885 and 1915 will have seen
many proposed and needed changes
fail in each of the three branches of
our constitutional form of government
Legislative, executive and judicial. 1t
has been in these thirty years that
we have witnessed the greatest pro-
grees in governmental science. What
was adequate for the making, en-
forcement and adjudging of laws thirty
years ago, is, in the light of expert
ence and the age, altogether out of
date today. Travelling by horseback
was probably the safest and suresr
way Of journeying to the constitution
a. convention of 1885 from distant
parts of the state, but one would
scarcely think of that mode of travel
today.
The population Of Florida in 1885
was little over two hundred and
seventy thousand. In 1910 it was over
seventeen hundred and fifty thousand,
or over three times as many. The
property value in 1885 was little
over one hundred and twenty million.
In 1910 1t was over six hundred million.
Within the last twenty five years,
nearly half the states OF the Union
Rave revised their constitution to con-
form to modern methods. Florida has
made some changes by amendment and
several proposed amendments. very
necessary to the people, have been
lost at the polls for lack OF interest
or for lack of information on part Of
the voter. Since 1880 forty eight pro-
posed amendments have been to the
people for ratification; twenty eight of
that number were adopted and twenty
were lost. These cost the state in adj
vertising alone s4s.923.00, not count
ing those voted upon In 1912. This is
far in excess of the total cost OF the
convention of 1885,
W hich cost the state $34 ,s19.53. and the
per diem and mileage was the same as
that of the legislator now.
It is generally conceded that the ar
ticle of our state constitution which
reeds changing most for better service
is that relative to the judicial depart
ment. It is a fact to be noted that
Of the twenty amendments proposed
