FACI WORTH REMEMBERING
Of Interest To Every Resident
OF Glendive

The discovery of gas last Wednes-
day. at depth of 700 feet, in the
we'll now being drilled, twelve miles
west of this city, and, which many
think but pocket of gas, it would be
well for them to remember, that the
the famous Wood County Ohio Oil
field, one of the greatest oil producing
territorities in the u. S., was first
brought into prominence by the find
ing Of gas after drilling but short
distance into mother earth.
The gas soon exhausted itself, and
deeper drilling brought forth some of
the largest oil producing wells in that
state.
1t wonld be we'll for the skeptical
to wait results, and pass an opinion
after the we'll has been drilled to a
reasonable depth, for there are fewer
dry holes in gas producing ground.
than any other territory that is pros
pected in for oil in paying quantities.

Four Straight for
Glendive's Ball Team
Fallon Bites the Dust---On to Wibaux
and Believe Me That Will Be
Some Game Sunday

Last Sunday. before a large and
enthusiastic crowd, the Glendive
base ball club won their fourth
straight game.
The game opened with Fal|on at
bat. For while it looked as though
Glendive had met team harder
than they had anticipated. How
ever, the side retired with three
men on bases but no scores, thus
easing Glendive's mind. Glendive
started their scoring this inning with
two runs. Foss. the first man up,
lifted the ball into centre field for a
three -bagger and scored later.
Fafon failed to score during the
whole game, although more than
once it looked as though they would.
Several times they had the bases
full but the pitching of Martin and
the support Of the felders held them
to Shut-Out.
Glendive scored again in the third
inning, tallying up one run.
Meng, as pitcher for Fallon, did
we'll considering that he did not be-
long there, but back of the bat. He
held the Glendive bunch scoreless
after the third until the lucky"
seventh. In the seventh, eight runs
were annexed to Glendive's score.
A number of safe hits combined
with the errors of the Fallon play
ers were the reasons Glend:ve
counted so many. In the eighth,
Glendive counted another score,
thus making a total of IL to 0 in
favor of Glendive.
Glendive did not have her regular

Auto Causes Accident

Glenn Englebright, a farmer living
near Union. while on his way home
from this city Monday evening met
with painful accident a short dist
ance from Glendive. He claims that
the team he was driving became
frightened at a passing auto, at least
they got beyond his control, and the
wagon and harness were completely
destroyed. In the mixup Glenn was
kicked by the horses and received
many severe cuts and bruises, which
were attended to by DR.. Donahue.
Parties who came upon the scene
soon after the accident brought the
injured man to town in their auto,
doing all they could for his relief.

lineup in this game. Gleason,
O'Hern and Taylor were absent.
These places were filled by Mack,
Hayward and "Rlacky." Neverthe-
less, the boys played good ball and
it can be seen that their steady prac-
tice is constantly bringing the boys
in trim.
There were ten errors against Fall
Ion, while only five against Glendive.
Fallon was at bat SO times, while
Glendive but 36.
The score by innings may be in
teresting and is as follows:
GIendive 2 0 / 900 8 x
Fallon 90 0 900 @ 0
In the field Glendive lined up as
follows: Foss, 2b; Calvin, IS; Thresh-
er, 10; Hildensperger, CT; Nelson, c;
Martin, p; Hayward, rf; Mack, If;
Blacky, 3b. Fallon's lineup was:

Graft, 2b; G. McNaughton, 2b; Will
son, 3b; M. McNaughton, If; Ander-
son, cf; O'Loughlin, rf.
Next Sunday, June 22nd, the ball
team goes to Wibaux. The boys are
determined to beat Wibaux and thus
even up for the defeat they were
administered to by Wibaux in the
first game of the season. The boys
need the help. 50 come along with
the bunch to Wibaux. The train
leaves here Sunday morning at 5:45.
and you can return home On No. Z

New Ruling on Homestead Assign
ments Under the Ditch

Washington June Ia, 1913.-Sec-
retary Lane ON June II vocated and
set aside paragraph 38 of the gen.
eral Reclamation regulations ap-
proved FEBRUARY 6, 1913, which
limited the right Of assignments un-
der the Act of June %. 1910, to
qualified homesteaders. and issued
a new new regulation.which does not con-
tain this restriction.
Former Secretary Fisher had
held that under this act which per-
mitted assignments of the whole or
part Of an entry under a recla-
nation project after final proof OF
residence, improved and cultivation
for the peri cd required by law,
but before final payment OF
the reclamation charges. the
assigness were limited to persons
who were qualified to make entry
under the Homestead law.
This ruling greatly restricted the
number of persons to whom
assignments could be made and
therefore it was very difficult for
tentrymen to sell his entry OF
any part thereof.

exhaustive investigation is being
made and already, it has been amply
demonstrated that one w. Wilson
knew whereof he spoke, and then
some, when he suggested the presence
in this fair city of life-sized lobby.
Moreover, the country is being given
some long-songht information as to
the exact nature of this lobby, its
personnel and the 'insidious" manner
in which it operates.
1t is being revealed that a number
OF exceedingly clever and suave gen.
tlemen are being paid large sums of
money to influence legislation along
particular lines. Today, the investi-
eating committee has had on the
stand one Truman G. Palmer who re-
ceives the tidy sum of ten thousand
dollars per annum for looking after
the welfare of the sugar interests.
Moreover, he has practically an un-
limited sum at his disposal for "ex-
penses'. One of the "stunts put
over by Mr.. Palmer was revealed to-
day and it also throws some light on
the oft discussed question of why the
postoffice department does not pay ex-
penses. Mr.. Palmer prepared a SER
les of charts on the subject of sugar.
Senator Henry Cabot lodge of Massa-
chusetts used these charts in a speech
and then secured an order for having
these charts printed as public docu-
ment at government expense. When
it was finally issued from the govern
ment printing Office, the document
contained not only the Palmer charts
but lot of other matter tending to
show why duty should be retained on
sugar and which did not appear in
Senator Lodges speech. This would
indicate that some smooth work was
done in the printing. Office. Not con-
tent with this little graft on the pub
lie treasury, the sugar people had 320, :
900 of these booklets, entitled Sugar
at q Glance" distributed free of
postage under the official frank of
Senator Lodge. The postal authori-
ties state that the regular postage on
one of the booklets would be five
cents. On the entire 320, OGO which
where distributed free, the postage
would have amounted to the tidy sum
of SIG, ,OOo. 90.
Beyond question President Wilson
and the senatorial Investigating com
mitee are performing distinct public
service in showing up this lobby busi-
ness. 1t is a subject concerning
which the general public has had but
very hazy idea. When the present
inquisition is completed, the entire
systsm will be exposed to the public
gaze and the profession of lobbying
will have been dealt a blow from
which it will not recover for a few
days at least.

TOM STOUT'S WEEKLY LETTER
interesting sideghts on men and things political

Washington, June 12th,-Whlle the
proceedings of the house have faiien
into a state of innocupus desuetooe
since the tariff bill was passed, the
senate is making amends for this pro-
tracted spree of legislative idleness
by working overtime these days.
Having labored nightly for about a
month and brought forth regular
democratic tariff bill, the members
of the house feel that they are entl-
tied to a vacation and are taking it..
About the only thing of Importance
done by the more numerous branch
during the past month has been the
selection of standing committees.
Under the revised rules, this task is
now performed by the ways and
means committee instead of by the
speaker as in former times. So far
as heard from there is general satis-
faction among the members with
their committee assignments. There
were some disappointments of course.
Take the case of the Congressman
Kindel of Colorado, for instance.
Kindel is Denver business man who
has spent the last twenty years inves-
tigating freight rates. He knows
more about freight rates than the
man who invented them. Its more
than a hobby with him. It's an OBJ
cession. Start to talking with Kindel
on any other subject under the sum
and, within thirty seconds, he will
have switched the conversation about
to freight rates.
With all of this stored-up informa-
ton on rates, Kindel was naturally
anxious to secure a place on that COM
mittee which offers the best opportun-
ity for using that information, viz,
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce. Imagine then. the
Colorado mans chargrin when the
list came out and he found his name
not among those on that particular
committee. He let out mild pro-
test-that is, mild for Kendall since he
is rather vigorous gentleman. For
anybody else, it would have been
whooping roar Of dissent. But that
is all that it amounted to, upto pres
ent writing.
When President Wilson casually
stated one morning that there IS an
"insidious lobby at work here try
ing to interfere with members of con-
gress in the heavy task Of tariff max
ing, there was none to gainsay him
but many whose attitude indicated
that time worn interrogatory, what
are you going to do about it? These
gentlemen are receiving their answer
in rather emphatic terms. A COM
mittee of which Senator Walsh OF
Montana is a member, undertook to
substantiate the Presidents casual
announcement anent a lobby. An
