Clean sweep Again At Iowa
City This
Year.
CHARTER SPECIAL TRAIN
one Hundred Fifty With Band 10 70
,. the Local Delegation
on June
10.

Keokuk Elks are planning to make
= clean sweep at Iowa City 1T the
state convention this year, and dupli
cate the feat performed at Burlington
last year, when the local lodge carried
on both prizes, one for the largest
crowd, and the other for the best ap
pearance.
A special train is being arranged
for. which will take the local lodge
to Iowa City on the day Of the parade,
and will return that night. Efforts
ars being made to get q crowd Of loo
to 60. The local lodge men are out
for aLother clean sweep and expect
to take big bunch to the university
town.
Letters are being sent out inform.
ing the memb .rs Of the plans which
are In the making for the trip. The
booster committee which has had the
trip in charge and has mads the ar
rangements. will call on the members
during the time intervening and, work
up the crowd.
The following schedule has been
arranged. A special train will leave
Keokuk at $50 o'clock on the morn.
ing OF June 10. The train will stop
at Fort Madison at 1880 o'clock to
pick up the bunch from that city. Az
nine O'Clock the Burlington Elks will
be picked up, and the trip to Iowa
City will be completed by 1875
o'clock. This will give ample time
for the parade.
The locals will spend the day at
Iowa City, and leave that evening at
s o'clock. getting into Keokuk ut 11:45
O'Clock. Arrangem .nts have been
made to take the band with the local
bunch, so there Will be plenty Of
music. The fare for the round trip
will be 81, which the committee desig-
mates as cheap ut half the price. This
price will include the costume.
I'VE want $50 members from here,
as we want to make clean sweep
the same as we did In Burlington last
year." the committee states in the
letter 1t is sending out The commit
tee will call on you and hope to get
a liberal response from the members.
We are live ones and ewant to keep up
our reputation Take little power
from the dam and join the bunch
from the electric city We want to
show Iowa that we are progressive and
tn. way to do It is to boost your town.
Make arrangements now to take a
holiday June 10, 1914, you will never
regret It. Iowa City is making great
preparations to entertain u.s."

ures limits the oil pool sharply and
narrowly in one direction. The next
and fourth we'll will be drilled at
once in a location which will deter
mine the position of the oil pool in O
cross direction. With the compile
ton OF the next well, just exactly
what is under the limestone there
and the area of the pool will be known
to the operators.
In the meantime, the people are
pursuing a policy of watchful watt
ing and making a Sunday afternoon
resort of the we'll, incidentally bring
ing bottles to fill with waste oil from
puddles and bitches as souvenirs.
About a thousand automobiles visited

need be no waiting for transfer OF
sovereignty, tying us to ancfen: his
tory. The influence of Monroe is yet
to stir up nations to uphold protect
ing governments There can be no
question of indemnity nor reprisal.
There must be responsibility and
should be law from the moment OF
landing. Citizens, denizens. peoples
can not resume public local functions
unless at once assured of prompt, full,
legal and final protection. A govern
ment that can not specifically assert
protection as easily as it designates
duties or makes demands on occu-
pants Of Offices or residents is out of
place. There may, of course, be CO
operation or alliance, but these should
never be implied.
Hence if Carranza can not make
good his point as to interest at Vera
Cruz it at once is clear what Ameri-
can responsibility should be an
nounced 1t is to the point that
Huerta gave out ten mile limit for
his responsibility, but it is clear he
is not willing to concede that any
ones position in the world Is such as
to protect anybody. But his giving up
responsibility has string to it. He
means to punish If he Is not respected
and obeyed or if any civil person
dares to obey anyone but himself.
The law of invasion or rebellion ought
to be able to grow to meet such an
artful tyrant. and at any rate we
should be able to promise protection
for both civil and military aid such

To the Editor of The Gate City:
The legitimate purposes of govern
ment do not depend on ancient his
tory. The functions of government
may be temporary. The purposes and
functions should be clear cut and in
ternational law is a failure If there
is as yet no lawful procedure on in
vasion. There should be needed no
doctrine, no policy. no protocols.
People should have on earth CON

COLMAR, ILL.,, May 1.-The oil
western edge Of McDonough county,
and the only one in northern Illinois,
was the mecca for several thousand
persons on Sunday, as this neighbor-
hood has been the destination Of near
ly all the petroleum operators of the
country for the last couple of weeks.
There is and has been no real ex-
element among either natives or OPP.
orators. The people hereabouts are
solid farmers Of the kind that do not
get excited easily. The character Of
the one well showing oil, and Its re-
lations to the previous dry holes drill
ed, are not calculated to excite the
oil men, even those who grow as hys-
terical as stock exchange brokers on
slight provocation. There has been al
most an entire absence Of the wild
scenes observed in other new oil dis
coveries, as at Beaumont, Carlyle, ILL.,,
few years ago and elsewhere.
Moderate Bonuses Paid.
Some bonuses are being paid for
leases, but the prices paid in real
money have been decidedly moderate
as such things 60. II is true that
miles Of land has been leased to the
northward Of the one we'll, but most
of this has been obtained without
bonus money and on the prospect Of
farmers and operator sharing what.
ever the gods may send.
But ten to thirty dollars an acre
runs into nice money when one owns
several hundred acres of land, and a
few land owners have been presented
with tidy checks for signing an oil
lease. But the fact remains that the
only operators paying any consider
able amount for leases are the few
big ones to whom ten or twenty
trousand dollars is bagatelle ia
men used to thinking In millions.

Good OH, Hard Transportation.

The transportation problem also
looms ahead 1t seems improbable
that this field will yield enough to
Justify a pipe line to the line Of the
Santa Fe railroad where is the near
est main line pipe line to the refiner-
les. The other way is to run the oil
through small pipes to Colmar, about
three miles, and load It here in tank
cars to carry it to Whiting or Alton
refineries. This shipment by rail is
much more costly than by pipe lines.
The quality of the oil is rather high
and as good as the average in Law
renee county, much better than that
found in the western fields. and not
SO good as the Pennsylvania product.
Whoever owns the land over what
ever pool develops by future drilling,
will get plenty Of money with no more
labor than endorsing checks before
depositing them in the bank. The OPP
orators will make a reasonable return
on their investment, If there turns
out to be oil enough to make wells
Welding twenty to forty barrels

in the minds of all experienced oil
men. that the McDonoush county field
will make anybody really rich, as in
Lawrence and Crawford counties and
in Oklahoma.
Thousands Visit the Well.
The one we'll which has oil is the
third one drilled by Snowden Broth
ers. the first two being dry holes.
This one producing well is an edge
vol, with much water and is likely to
drown out and quit producing any
day. Its initial production was thirty
Ave barrels a day.

Some Of the biggest Oil operators
OF the United States have come and
gone There was Kerr and Penn Of
the Ohio Oil company, one Of the
most important Of the Standard sub
salaries, who think little Of writing
checks for 10000. snowden Broth
ers, who bought in the well, are
among the very high class independ-
emit operators. Schaffer-Smathers
had man here for about week, and
are recognized as one of the real
things in the oil game with nerve
and tendency to bet q million unsur-
passed by any oil men.
But they are all gone or represent
ed by employees who are watchfully
waiting. The talent are agreed that
the Colmar oil field will consist OF the
one pool, that this will comprise only
few hundred acres OF area, and
that the yield will be light and of
rather short duration. On the other
hand 1t is very shallow, around four
hundred feet being the distance
drilled, and this means wells costing
only several hundred dollars, instead
| of $1,000 or $4,000, the cost OF many
well in the southeastern Illinois
field.

Much complaint of the failure of the
interstate commerce commission to

tatlon rates on the Metropolitan
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, the tariffs providing for the
adjustment of the twenty-four and
nfty trip family tickets, and the two
oay excursion tickets west of Rock
vile, was heard yesterday afternoon
at the meeting of the executive COM
mittee OF the Metropolitan Branch
Commuters Association.
While these tickets are not consid-
cred commutation tickets in the strict
sense of the term, it was declared at
sesne esaeraays "a meeting, nevertheless they
form an important part of the privi-
leges to the commuters families The
only family ticket now in existence is
the ten-trip ticket at much higher
rate per trip than the twentv-fo,1r and
fifty trip tickets.
Feature of Proposed Fight.
1t was made plain at the meeting
yesterday that the fight for the resto-
ration of these tickets will be made
an important feature of the case of the
commuters when it comes up for hear
ing before the interstate commerce
commission. In the original complaint
nied the association gave much space
IN an attempt to show the unreason
aoleness In abolishing the twentv-four
and fifty trip tickets.
The two-day round trim tickets il
was pointed out, We're only abolished
to points on the Metropolitan branch
west or Rockville, at which town cleo
trlc railway competition ends, Much
stress Will be laid on this phase of the
matter at the commission. In making
hot
policy to suspend these rates pending
investigation. the commission informed
the commuters organization that the
refusal to suspend was without pre
judice to their filing of a formal com
pialnt against the new rates.
Conference Not Decided Upon.
The question of meeting the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad officials to talk
over the question of an amicable ad-
1ustment of the proposed increases in
Communication rates and the increases in
other rates was discussed, but it was
the consensus of opinion of the mem
about the matter at this time in view
of the approach of the Christmas holi-
days.

L. Cabell Williamson, Washington
Grove, chairman; e. W. Moore. Ken
