ROROBAUGH WINS THE
 FIRST FIVE MILES
O.

DOUGLAS, Nov. F. - Ray RorO- baugh of Juneau won the first five miles of 125 laps last night by a small margin over Olgat Anderson, the Douglas man. A packed house wit messed the race, and the excitement was terrific. each spectator shouting for his favorite to win. For the first few laps Anderson was ahead, but ROrobaugh caught up. toward the end, Anderson had the misfortune to fall which gave his opponent an advantage. And the race went to Rorobaugh. It is the opinion of many Douglasites that it should have gone to Anderson, as an agreemnt was made before the race that when the leader was tapped on the shoulder by his rival, he should give room for the man behind to pass Friends of Anderson claim that he repeatedly touched his rivals shoul- der, but he could not get past. The other 125 laps will be raced in Juneau tonight It is expected to be a red hot contest. A number from this side expect to go over.
 A large number of Juneau people were present last night.

Starting on an approximated 1,5OO mile mush, D. J. Campbell left Fair banks few days ago headed for the IditarOd. MT. Campbell lately return ed from the upriver, where he went as a member of the White Seal crew, and is going to the dOwnriver camp to get his nine dogs. He expects to return to the headwaters of the Panama as soon as possible, and will spend the coming winter in freighting into the new country. Mir. Campbell was un- decided by what trail he will cut into the Iditarod, but expects to leave the Yukon river at Kaltag. If there is suf- ficient snow on the ground he may, however, leave the river at Nulato and blow over the Kuayh mountains, which would save him a distance of approximately forty miles.

tFrom Oil and Gas JournalO
Operations in the southwest Ok
lahoma regions are on the increase
ana much new work is being started
in different portions of the develop
ment. The finding of two wells at
Healdtoi!, in Carter county, has
awakened the leaseholders, who have
held leases for some time in the
lower part of the state and the next
few months should prove to be act
i've ones. The development at
Healdton has nothing to offer for
the week, as no wells were complet-
ell, although within tn e next few
days at least two are due for com
pletion. When they are finished
more will be known of the posi-
bilities of the new pool. As far as
developed, it looks good but, as
only two wells have been drilled
hcw good it will turn out to be

city of leases in the vicinity aud
ease holders are asking fabulous
prices. The Duncan and Loco pools
have not as yet revived from the
large number of dry holes that were
drilled there during the past two
weeks, and, while some new work
is starting, it is not as active as 1t
was some months ago Gas has been
the main product in this section, but
the general supposition is that oil
will be found somewhere in that
vicinity. The Gotebo field, in Kio"a
county, while not showing anything
of sensational nature, continues
to produce small wells, which are
profitable in the shallow sand. Op~
erations are branching out in tins

Christian Ladies' Aid Society.

The Christian Ladies' Aid Society
met yesterday afternoon in the base
ment of the church, with a splen-
did attendance.
Officers were elected for the COM
ing year as follows;
President, Mrs. w. R. Roberts.
Vice president, Mrs Warren.
Secretary, Mrs, Arthur Naylor.
Treasurer, Mrs. NJ. NJ. Johnson.
Mrs. Roberts has served as presi-
dent the past year and although she
felt that to assume the office an"
other term would be a greater un-
dertaking than she had courage to
make, the ladies would not consent
to another leader She has COM
bined all the qualities of successful
leadership-a just. equitable ruling
on all matters that were presented
in the routine of work; the rare
quality of getting along" with all
the members; the energy and en-
thusiasm that served as a continual
inspiration to the other members,
who soon discovered that no mat
ter how much they were called upol
to dc, the president was always
ready to do as much or more.
The ladies realized that the re-
sponsibility was wearing and offered
to take from her shoulders as much
as possible.
Mrs. Roberts, in turn, declares
that the other officers, who sup
ported her, deserve an equal share
of the credit
That the society agreed with her
was evidenced by their vote, which
resulted in the unanimous election
Of all former officers.
The past year from October lst
to October 1st, the ladies have
earned $l,3S2.95-that is mere than
500 a month.
Since October 1st they have earn
ed 1912 by their dinners served
during the revival.
They feel deeply grateful to the
ladies' who have assisted them sc
generously.
Nevt week the society meets with
Mrs. c. NJ. Campbell on North Wash
ington street.

Dry-farming is today attracting the
attention of the entire world. Sixty
per cent of the earths agricultural

rainfall annually, and it is generally
considered that any system of sou

growth of good crops under such
conditions demands the attention OF
