METHODS
 VS DEMOCRATIC METHODS

In his Juneau speech. Delegate Wickersham admitted and claimed;
 CD He admits that his silent speeches" which were labelled: Speeches of Hon. James Wicker sham in the House of Representa- tives," and sent, postage free. throughout the Territory of Alas ka as campaign documents, were in fact not delivered in the House of Representatives.
 @ He justifies his course by saying that Democrats also have had speeches extended in the Congress ional Record under Che leave to print" rule, and used them as cam paign documents.
 (3) He says that while the silent speeches" were not delivered in the House Of Representatives, they were delivered at committee hearings.
 But there is a difference:
 The Democrats of Alaska are circulating a silent speech" that was extended in the Record, but it labelled truthfully: Speech Of Martin II. Glynn." as Temporary chairman of the St. Louis conyen- tion. On the other hand. news papers all over Alaska. some of those which are friendly to the Delegate and some which are oppos- ing him, are commenting upon the the speeches the Delegate delivered in the House of Representatives in July" That is what was intended The Delegate purposely labelled his pamphlet to fool the people. and it is fooling some of them.
 The Delegates other statement that the speeches were delivered at committe hearings is the worst of the fabrications in connection with this incident of the campaign, be- cause it contains that element which gave birth to the proverb that "a half truth is the worst kind of a lie" Some of the things "a very few of them-which were silently written into the speeches that were never delivered" were said at committee hearings. but nct in the manner that would or were Intended to create the impression that the silent speeches. were de- signed to create.

resulted in big profits to the investors
and it is but natural that Duluth peo-
pie would be glad to take his ad-
vice upon the proposition in Marshall
county \ Mr.. Bayley OF Tulsa is
the drilling contractor The location
is in the southeast corner OF the
southwest quarter Of section 23-7s be.
The test will be drilled to a depth
of 5000 feet.
Marshall county has been attract
ing much attention 'or several years,
the producing wells there are said
to be seepagc wells, it is believed
that a larger pool will be found some
time and inasmuch as the drill Of Roy
NJ Johnson located the second pool
in Carter county, it is very probable
that he will do the same thing for
Marshall county. Coyden Oil and Gas
Company has 10000 acres in the por-
tion Of the county where Mr.. Johnson
did his leasing. Mr.. Johnson leased
I lllt SAINT dlllbulAN VI hAlA ~ hAA tN'N
portion of it in exchange for the
I well which Is starting. The Gypsy
Oil Company has 1000 acres, the Mid
Co. people have almost 1000 acres,
and the Prairie, the Carter and the
| Producers have all made purchases
there But these companies did not
get ahead of Max Westheimer on the
same structure. Mr. Westheimer pur-
chased lands in fee there several
years ago, expecting some day that
it would prove to be an oil field.
J About seven gas wells have been
drilled there and the Daniel Waite
well on the Johnson acreage will have
gas furnished it for mei One of the
wells which was drilled in several
months ago at a depth of $50 feet,
when opened recently was found to
have a rock pressure of 100 pounds.
When an oil field is found in Mar
shall county, it is very probable that
it will be the wonder field of the
United States. The oil found in that
county will burn in a kerosene lamp
in its crude state and it would also
probably run a motor in its crude
state. 1t sells for several times what
Carter county oil sells for and when
the mother pool is found that sup
plies the Arbuckle field, it will be
such a field as will startle the oil
fraternity of the whole country. There
is no doubt but what the structure
in 23-7-5 is all that could be desired
and the oil men of the entire south
west will watch this test of 5000
feet. 1t is the most important steT
in southern development made IN
many months.

Starting New Wells.

There will be several wells drilling
now within short time in the
neighborhood of the Ridenour-Baker
well in section 13-4-3. A direct off
set to the south will be drilled by
w. NJ. Babcock, a diagonal offset to
the southwest will be drilled by the
Extension Oil and Gas company. A
direct offset to the west will be drill
ed on a ten acre tract The Riden-
our-Baker people themselves will
drill 800 feet to the east of their
first well which will give Mr. Bah
cock second offset well 20 drill.
10y Childress will drill the offset of
the Extension Oil company and will
also drill No. for the Ridenour-
Baker people. The Extension Oil and
Gas company which is made up of
Ardmore people owns 80 acres in
section % southwest of the r. b. c.
we'll and also owns 80 acres IN 13
northwest of the same well Much
of this block of acreage is now in
proven territory.

coed instead of pointing out defects
W hich might cause it to fail, for in do
ing so, they will have not only streng-
thened the banking system but will
have also strengthened the nation"
With respect TO the federal farm
loan act, Mr.. Lynch declared that while
the end sought was sociological, an
endeavor to stem the drift of popula-
tion to the cities, lower rates of inter
est and greater facilities for getting
into debt would not of themselves serve
to accomplish this result. "The men
who have the most intimate experience
with farm conditions generally, believe
that borrowing is already too easy for
the farmer he said.
Touching on the European war, the
great flotations of foreign loans here
and the enormous inflow of gold, Mr.
Lynch said:
"We may expect that as soon as the
war is over and the normal imports
of merchandise are resumed, the eX
cess Of gold will leave us, and this will
be by no means an evil. The surplus
age Of gold and the loaning power sci
free by the federal reserve act, to
gether are likely to cause a credit ex
pansion which will need careful su
peryision by our bankers, to the END
that the corresponding contraction
does not find us unprepared The con
troll of both the export and the import
of gold should be guided by the fed
eral reserve board, which was intend
ed to perform this function and which
has the power necessary to stabilize
exchange through this means"

Resume DRILLING Tonight.

The Franklin & Phillips well in
section 1928 has been drilled through
the big gas sand. The sand had a
thickness of y feet and the drill IS
now below the stand at depth of 20
feet, which makes the total depth
1900 feet The eight-inch casing is
being run, and drilling will be re
sumed tonight After passing out Of
the gas sand, the drill went into blue
shale. The gas has been conserved
except while the well was drilling. 1t
is being headed in now and is being
saved.

VERY IMPORTANT TEST.
Roy Johnson Promoted Drilling Of
Deep Test in Marshall County.

An important location has been
made recently in Marshall county.
The drilling is TO be done by Daniel
Waite and others of Duluth, Mimi,
who are iron capitalists of that city.
The drilling will be done on acreage
which was blocked some time ago by
Roy NJ. Johnson OF this city. F. julius
Fohs of Tulsa is the geologist who
passed upon the acreage and recon-
mended it as probable oil territory.
Mr.. Fohs is very popular with Duluth
people for the reason that he located
the Boynton pool for people in that
city and he also located the produc
tive area about Blackwell for other
fnanciers Of that city. Besides To-
eating the Oklahoma oil pools for Du-
luth parties. Mr.. Fohs also located a
pool in Wyoming for the same peo-
pie. All OF those propositions have

Nc Man Savoy at Fox.

The McMan-Savoy well in 1928 in
the Fox district did not make any
progress yesterday The well had
forty feet of caving which was got
ten out of the way. The contractors
NAV have to set a string of new
casing before further progress can
be made on account of the forma-
tion's tendency TO cave. If a new
casing Is set it will be > S-16 inches
in size. The total depth is 2O1O feet

Appointed Federal Inspector

George L. Lamb of the firm of Fox
& Lamb, drilling contractors, has
been appointed inspector under the
federal bureau of mines. He is devot-
ing much of his time to the conserva-
tion of oil and gas and to seeing that
wells are properly drilled to protect
the fields from water. Mr.. Lamb is
an experienced oil field worker He
learned the business by actual work
and is well fitted to represent the
government in this important office.

Ten Miles of Line.

The McMan-Savoy leases in 20-2-3
and in that locality lie in body
and the companies will have ten
miles of line wells to drill. They do
not have such great acreage but
there are 81 corners in the boundary
line which brings the mileage up
very high and will mean lots of
drilling for the companies when the
Fox pool is really under way.

"The Federal Reserve Act" he said,
