Mandan Prepares For Paving

Mandan, Sept. 1O-At a meeting of
the board of city commissioners held
last evening, action was taken which
virtually means the paving of Second
Third and Fourth avenues.
The petitions for the engage,
ment of the services of competent
engineers were taken up and City
Attorney L. H. Connolly advised the
commissioners that there was. no
use in going to the expense of Sc
curing estimates on cost Of paving
if the actual paving work was not
done. AS a result Griffin and Black
have been engaged to secure the es
Inmates and take charge Of the paw
ing work.
Petitions were also on file calling
for estimates on the cost of paving
Sixth and Collins avenue, and the
engineers will survey these high
ways.
The engineers were instructed to
60 ahead with their work and pend
ing their estimates on the cost OF
various kinds of paving, including
bitulithic, creosote block, macadam
and cement, there will be no action
taken by the city. 1t is probable
that the citizens owning property on
First and Fifth avenues may now
file their petitions, which have been
in circulation but not actively push
ed. -.

Convey of the Standing Rock reserya-
ton, this week visited Wakpala.
where he inspected the new flowing
well at st. Elizabeth school, which
it was recently reported, contains
natural gas, and he confirms the re-
port.
The well is a six-inch tubular about
1000 feet deep, and the water as it
gushes from the pipe contains consid-
cradle Illuminating gas, and burns
freely when match is applied. Ex-
periments are now being made in
which to find way to seperate the
gas from the water in order to utilize
the gas for light and heating puf-
poses.
Biologists claim that there are indi-
cations of oil several places on the
reservation, and it would not be sur
prising if explorations were made
that oil would be discovered, and
where gas wells are found there il
usually also oil.
At Baker, Mont, about IT'S miles
west of here, where prospecting for oil
has been under way for some time, Off
