OIL FIELD RAILROADS

Oilton, Okla, April 14.-Robert Nc
Farlin, who is the Mac" part of the
McMan Oil company and known as
one of the wealthiest oil men in this
field. is said to have entered the list
of those who would purchase the Oil
Belt Terminal and Cushing Traction
company railroads, the two lines in
the big oil field He is said to have
made an offer for the property
through G.. II. Moore 1t is said that
the Frisco, Santa Ft and JAKE Ha-
mon are also bidders for the two
lines. The Oil Belt Terminal is eight
miles long, running from Jennings
to Oilton, and the Gushing Traction
company is ten miles long, running
from Cushing to Pem-eta. Bob Nc

biggest producer in the field, having
now practically 10000 barrels daily
production.

WHITE MAN NARROWED
ON ARCTIC ICE FLoE

Nome, Alaska. April 14.-Natives
hunting seals last winter are report
ed in mail advices from Icy Cape on
the Arctic coast near latitude 20,
to have seen a white man marooned
on an ice foe drifting in south
westerly direction toward Wrangell
Island. Whether the man was
member of Vilhialmur Stefansson's
Canadian Arctic expedition or was
survivor of the wrecked whaling
schooner New Jersey, the natives
were unable to determine
When the natives first saw the
man he was on a large pack of ice
separated from them and the shore
ice by a wide stretch of water. At
first they thought he was a hunter
of their tribe, but upon reaching
shore learned he was not a native.
The hunters Immediately hurried
out on the ice to try to rescue the
marooned man, but before they reach
ed the lead separating the foe from
the shore ice a strong offshore wind
had sprung up, carrying the ice far
to sea.
The general belief here and among
the natives at Icy Cape is that the
man was a member of the Stefansson
party of three who started north over
the ice from Martin Point, west of
the Mackenzie river, April I, 1914.
With Stefansson at that time were
Ole Anderson and Storker Storker-
son.
Nothing has been heard of Stefans-
son and his two companions since
they left to explore the unknown
Arctic regions north of Alaska.

REFORM OF BILLY SUNDAY

1t is being predicted that Billy sun
day is due for another reform-that
he is soon to see the error of his
ways and change the 'o"m Of his
sermons, or at least ne method of
delivery. In other words some of his
greatest admirers belieYn that he will
shortly "cut out the Stag and de-
liver his sermons in more polished
language.
There have been evGnsehsts who
succeeded for time by the tree and
unrestricted use of slang but they
could have slccc led without it.
Those who have criticized Evangelist
Sunday say he has reached the limit
of slang's usefulness and that he
must, in the natural course of events,
see the error of its continued use.
Perhaps his change from the use of
slang 10 that of more polite Ian
guage will be gradual, but surely
there will be change.
When Evangelist Sunday tells men
they are liars he is in a great meas
ure only stating an uncontroyerted
fact; there will never be any protest
on that account He may sprinkle
his sermons with similar expressions
and in his own particularly pictur-
esque language and there will al
ways be crowds to listen, but when
he calls men hogs" and advises their
wives to line up at the bar with them
and "fll their skins with the same
kind Of slop," he has reached the
limit
There are many who will hail with
gadness the time when Evangelist
Sunday decides to quit the use o.
slang and they will rejoice to see
him climb to the very heights of hi.

Dreams.

II is a common saying that ono
dreams OF that which one has been
thinking most about. This is the eX-

may be of something that one thought

years, that would not be recalled il

HANSEL ACQUITTED
IN j, s, COURT

The trial of John O. Hansel of
Rainy Butte was concluded at Bis
marck last week and the man ac-
quilted. It took the jury six hours to
agree on verdict. T. F. Murtha, of
Murtha & Sturgeon, spent several
days in Bismarck in securing the jury
and trying the case.
Following is what a Bismarck dis
patch said about the case just before
the trial was finished:
The validity of a marriage, con-
tracted in Montana, following one
day after a North Dakota decree of
divorce, which stipulated that defend
ant should not marry for six months,
is being argued in federal court here
this morning. ~,
The question arose during the pro-
cess of a white slave case, in which
John Hansel is charged with trans
porting for immoral purposes one
Miss Patterson, from North Dakota
to Montana. ,.
The government alleges that Han
sci made the trip with the Patterson
woman, that then Hansel's wife sued
for divorce and the decree was grant
led Nov. 2, several months after Han
sci was indicted for a violation Of the
Mann white slave act. The decree
stipulated that Hansel should not
marry tor three months, but one day
after the decree he married the Pat
terson woman. S-'i ~ s--4. r,, Il - :
. Now the defense in the case pro-
tests against the present Mrs. Hansel
being forced to testify against her
husband, while the government claims
the marriage invalid. Judge Booth
will make a ruling on the case during
the day according to a statement
made last night.
Just before the noon recess Judge
Booth ruled that the marriage was
valid and the wife was not compe-
tent witness.

PREPARE FOR WAR
DRILL. 100000 MEN

Every true American, we believe,
deplores and detests war. But the
question has presented itself to every
thinking man, as he has reviewed the
disclosures of the present war in
Europe, is: What would happen to
this country if we should suddenly be-
come entangled in a difference with
a first-class power? We believe, of
course, that in the end we would be
successful, but the price that would
have to be paid is something fearful
to contemplate. What the United
States needs, is a preparedness for
war, that will not withdraw it's citi-
zens from the productive walks Of
life. No standing army, a-la-Europe,
in ours! The burden and waste is too
great. Our solution is in an en-
larged, efficient and compulsory mill
tia service. This country ought to
have two million men trained in mill
tary drill, evolution and field service,
not one of whom should be withdrawn
in time Of peace, from the ordinary
self-supporting avenues Of daily life.
The United States Regular army
should be trained and drilled almost
exclusively in artillery, machine gun
and aviation practice, lines that the
militia cannot very we'll attend to
and still follow civil life. The in
sfantry drill and target practice should
Sbe the speciality Of the militia, which
should be compelled by law to drill
once every week and attend an annual
encampment.
All of which leads us to say that
Dickinson has very fine militia
company, and this should be sup
ported and encouraged by every citi-
zen in the county. Its officers should
be commended for their faithfulness
and devotion to duty, under difficult
ties and discouragements; and the
young men of the city and surround
ing country should be encouraged to
enlist and punctually attend. If we
desire to avoid the necessity, in the
no distant future, of a standing army,
we must increase, encourage and make
efficient our militia service. This, at
present, and until suitable militia
laws are passed by Congress-, can
only be done by an enthusiastic pub
lie sentiment.

X SUPT, A, V BROWN HERE

A visit was paid Dickinson on
Tuesday by A. v: Brown, general
superintendent Of the Northern Pa
cific central district, the territory be-
tween Mandan and Paradise. Mr..
Brown makes headquarters at Liv-
ingston and was accompanied on this
trip by Mrs. Brown. Others in the
party were Div. Supt. T. H. Lantry,
Trainmaster J.. H. johnson of Dick
inson, Roadmaster F. j., Williamson,
also of this city, with territory west,
and Roadmaster Charles Nelson of
Mandan, with territory east Of Dick

with Supt. Brown in his private car
in Dickinson We're the following

Langley, E. A. Lillibridge and news
paper representatives. qs@.li
The delegation talked with Supt.
Brown about the National Parks
Highway work, the bridging Of the
Little Missouri river at Medora, etc.
It was a revelation to Mr.. Brown to
know that q finance committee had
raised 81 500 around Dickinson in the
last few days to help along the Red
Trail road work and that Stark
county was expected to contribute
$2,500 to $4,000. The counties all
along the Northern Pacific road are
contributing literally and it is be-
lieved that the committees will be
able to finance the $4,000 bridge
needed at Medora. State Engineer
Jay Bliss has plans and specifications
nearly drawn for the bridge. +.
Supt. Brown was both delighted
and surprised when the report was
given him. He said the railroad
company looked with favor upon this
work and would be willing to assist
in any way possible, although he
could not say just how at this time.
Talking Of the general business of
the Northern Pacific, Supt. Brown
said the Panama canal had cut off the
most of their long haul freight traf-
fic. In other words, the Pacific coast
trade which the railroads had SO
carefully fostered for many years,
was all wiped out. It would now be
necessary for the railroads to de-
velop business in North Dakota and
the other states in their territory.
This he intimated, would mean more
feeding lines just as soon as. war con-
ditions were little more settled and
