An IMPRESSION prevails That gre
quantities of oil are required to ran
the sea. but Professor Ray Lankester
of England suggests that pint Of oil
an hour will secure II zone OF calm
water around a ship sufficient for the
safe launching of small boats, Accord
ing to this authority. nine pints Of oil
are sufficient to calm a square mile of
water, and. incredible as 1t may APP
pear. one drop will calm seven square
feet! The oil spreads out'oyer the sur
face Of the sea In film which has the
almost unimaginable thickness of two
millionths of a millimeter, yet 1t holds
In leash the mighty power of the ocean.
When this film of oil spreads over the
surface the heaping up action of the

not take place. The thinner the film
the greater Is its effect In pulling down

Those people in Bowman are doing
a lot for the Yellowstone Trail move
ment, having subscribed $1,000 in
one day. Such men as J. E. Pheaan
and c. ]. PheIan gave $25 each, to-
ward the Milwaukee automobile road.
George N. Remission solicited the con-
tributions and went on to, Minneapolis
where he expected to raise $4,000!
He had already raised $25,OOO, and
seems to have phenomenal success in
collecting funds for the Yellowstone
Trail. This should spur the people
of the Northern Pacific line on to
more aggressive work for the Red
Line, a trans-continental auto road
from New York to Seattle via Dick
inson and the Yellowstone, Park. A
road bridge is needed across the
Little Missouri liver at Medora. If
auto tourists are to come, this way

Selecting Minneapolis as the city
Tor the reserve bank of the Northwest
seems to be generally satisfactory.
1t shows that the national committee
recognized the great development
made in this territory and it's import
ance in a commercial way. Now
comes the report that the North Da-
kota committee to act in the organi-
cation of the federal reserve bank at
Minneapolis are: L. F. Crawford,
Sentinel Butte; Carl J. Farup, Park
River; P. c. Remington, Bismarck;
J. p. Phelan, Bowman, and T. L. Bel
seeker, Fessenden. There will be six
members on each committee from the
six states in the district, and these
thirty-six men will outline the plans
for the final organization Of the bank.

The publishers of the Mandan Pho
e have started an evening daily
paper and promise to continue the
same as long as the patronage Will
warrant. Mandan is we'll situated for
an evening daily, having the advant-
age of the morning papers for their
Jews service. Messrs. Tostevin and
Biting are well equipped for the
publication Of an Afternoon paper;
being in easy touch with the state
capitol by telephone and having the
advantage of Northern Pacific divis-
ion and its branch lines from both
north and south. From the publish
ers' announcement, it almost seems
that the demand for war news
prompted the launching Of the,
Pioneer. The prospects Of
trouble with Mexico are on the wane,
hence it is up to the people Of Mandan'
support this daily on natural
business lines if the same is; to. be
continued.

Senator Leslie A. Simpson of Dick
inson has authorized the Dickinson
Press to state that he will positively
be a candidate for congress in oppo-
sition to Congressman P. D. Norton.
While Mr.. Simpson has been con-
sidered in a receptive attitude for
some time as regards this Office, and
while he won the nomination on the
first choice votes two years ago, many
of his friends in Mandan are disap-
pointed that he has taken. so long in
coming out. With but two months to
make the campaign he will have to
go some to land. But MI. Simpson
is some campaigner and can do more
in two months than some other men
can accomplish in two years.-Man-

People woke Tuesday morning to
find snow falling thick and fast.
Mercury was near the freezing point
and it remained cool all day and was
still cool and cloudy the following
day. Probably three to four inches
of heavy snow fell and from the ap-
pearance of the ground it was equiva-
lent to a half inch OF more of rain
About so per cent of the grain was
sown before the, storm and now and
then a farmer could be found who
had finished seeding small grains
Nothing could have been better for
the farmers than this snow storm.

Reports from Bismarck, jamestown
and Fargo indicate that the territory
east of the Missouri river suffered a
severe storm Tuesday night. Several
hundred telephone and telegraph
poles were broken on the main line
of the Northern Pacific between Bis
marck and Fargo, and it became nee
essary to call linemen from west of
the river to assist in putting up the
wires. No one out this way knew of
any wind storm. Snow was falling
but it did not drift and our people
were rejoicing that it came.

The United States has agreed to

Interestingly:
Huerta will abide by the finding, or
disregard it, precisely as he pleases.
A man who will betray. his chief in
the face of the enemy, look on at: the
assassination of his chief, usurp the
place o fhis< chief, and betray his
country into a war of inevitable, dis
aster to it, IN order to save his; own
face, will not be embarrassed by the
finding of a mere commission of
mediators.
Furthermore, the prerequisite con-
ditions imposed by the United States
make it almost impossible that
Huerta should concur in. the finding.
This government requires that Car
rama and Zapata be included in the
negotiations. Huerta knows that
they, like the United States, can hard
ly be expected to accept a finding
which will permit him to remain in
authority. Finally, the mediation is
proposed by Argentina, Brazil and
Chile, and not one of those three has
recognized Huerta.
Two gains are possible for the
United States through it's willingness
to accept mediation:
1. The moral effect will be large.
2. The period in which hostilities
are ceased can be turned to excellent
account in the further Withdrawal Of
Americans from Mexico, the rendez-
vousing Of troops, and the transpor-
tation Of supplies.

War Averted Is a Triumph.

Tie great triumph of President
Wilson lies in the fact that he has
kept US from the terrible calamity
of war. He has done all that he
could 10 persuade Mexican leaders
to adopt a compromise plan and
cease their civil strife. He has not
been guilty Of negleCting Americans
and lie has from the very beginning
done all that be could to persuade
our citizens to withdraw from the
area Of Storm and danger. He is
in q position to realize more keenly
than most other Americans the full
extent Of the sufferings of our own
citizens south of the Rio Grande. He
is conducting himself with the same
kind of patience and dignity under
criticism that President Lincoln
showed again and again in his diff
ficult work. Great property inter-
ests were created in Mexico by out
side capitalists upon basis of
false hope and security. That all
legitimate investments may in the
long run be conserved is indeed a
just and reasonable wish, and a
proper object of influence and effort
But it is not the business of our
government to follow adventures
