STANDS WELL
IN CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10--When Con-
gressman Evans at the opening of the
SiXty-iourth congress was appointed
q member of the great appropriations
committee of the house, he achieved
a distinction for himself and for his
state that was never before attained
by representative in congress from
Montana. Not only that. but he ac-
complished something that had rarely
! been done by a man who had served
only one term in congress, and still
more rarely by man from the west.
Membership on the great appropri-
MS committee of the house is
prize coveted by almost every mem
Der OF congress. 1t is on par with,
and by many desired more, than men,
fership on the ways and means COM

DIED IN ARMS Of
HIS DAUGHTER
JACOB WYROUCk, MONTANA PiO-
NEER, SUCcUMBS TO ATTACK
OF HEART FAILURE.
RESIDENT OF MONTANA SINCE 1864

Jacob Wyrouck, one Of Montana's
early pioneers, died in the arns of
his daughter, Mrs. James Smith, about
2 O'Clock Sunday afternoon at the
Smith home at 3l6 Sixth avenue,
south Doctors attribute his death to
heart failure.
Mr.. Wyrouck, who has made his
home with his daughter here for the
past years, was born in PENNSYLVANIA
S4 years ago, and first came to Mon
tana in 1864, locating in Virginia City,
which was at that time the metropolis
of Montana territory, and engaging in
the mercantile business. After con
ducting the mercantile business in
Virginia City few years he disposed
of that business and moved to Twin
Bridges where he engaged in ranch
ing and FOR more than forty years
followed that vocation Soon after
the death of his wife in 1909 lie came
to LeWistOWn where he has since re-
sided.
For the past two years Mr.. Wyrouck
has been afflicted with heart trouble,
and scarce'v two weeks ago suffered
stroke Of appOleXy from which he
never fully recovered While a man
Of cheerful disposition in spite Of
his suffering. he constantly predicted
death would soon overtake him. His
reference to death in measure pre-
pared the family for an end, but as
| his spirits were SO unusually high
at the breakfast table yesterday the
| shock of his sudden demise vas not
| lessened. Friday he was conyersing
with 1,ic ,,,l,
| sides on a ranch just short dis
tance from Lewistown, and told him
lie anticipated the end That evening
| he participated in a game of cards
| with the family and his condition was
apparently improving.
| Shortly before . o'clock Sunday
afternoon, Miss Mae Smith grand
daughter, was conversing with friend
over the telephone when she heard
Mr.. Wyrouck groan two or three
times. This alarmed her and she at
once called the attention of her
mother to the instance, suggesting
that perhaps they had better ascertain
his condition. When thev entered the
| room in which Mr.. Wydouck was sit
ting they found him with his head
over the back Of the chair which he
was occupying. Mrs. Smith at once
rushed to his side and directed her
daughter to at once telephone for the
family doctor. He was breathing heav-
! lily at this time and Mrs Smith placed
her arms around his body and at the
same time attempted to raise his
| head in a more natural position. As
she was doing this he breathed his
last. The physician arrived within
a few minutes but all efforts to re-
sscitate Mr.. Wyronch were futile.
The decedent was at one time a
member of the Odd Fellows lodge.
He is survived by his daughter. Mrs.
James Smith, of this city, and two
sons, Samuel A. of this county and
Frank Wyrouck of Twin Bridges. The
body was shipped to Twin Bridges
Tuesday morning, where interment
took place in the family burying plot
Relatives from here accompanied the
remains to the place of burial,

samples at depths OF eight to twelve
feet, in which the dissolved salts were
found to contain from to about 81.
per cent of potash, and 2A per cent
was found in the soluble salts at Il
depth of about four feet According
to analyses made by the survey, the
brines and muds from the Salduro
marsh contain considcrable magnesium
chloride as well as chlorides of potas-
SUM and sodium. and so are somewhat
similar in composition to the deposits
from which potash is manufactured in
Germany.

Great Petroleum Field.

Natural gas has been known near
Shreveport, La, for more than twenty
five years. but oil was discovered here
only In 1904. when the first successful
we'll was drilled In what is now known
as the Caddo oil and gas field, says the
United States geological survey. This
field is chiefly in Caddo parish. in the
northwest corner Of Louisiana. but cX-
tends westward short distance into
Marion and Harrison counties. Tex. In
l9OG the production of the field was
only 3,35S barrels which is less than
the reported initial daily production OF
some of the more recent wells. From
this time the output increased until
lol3, when the maximum yearly pro
duction OF 9,G2S,1IT barrels was made.
Including the production of 1914 the
Caddo field has yielded over 3S.oOO,OOO
barrels of oil and large but unknown
amount OF gas. Although this field
may have reached its maximum pro-
duc:ion. il will not he exhausted for

Uses of Hair Sealskins

The skin OF the young north Atlantic
hair seal IS extensively used In New
foundland for the production of most
excellent boot for senlers, fishermen,
lumbcrmen ana sportsmen. The boots,
which come to within an inch or two
OF the knee. are very durable and at
the same time are both light in weight
and waterproof. Sometimes the hair
is left on and turned inside for warmth.
Moccasins, gloves. mittens, tobacco
pouches, purses bags and similar arti-
cles are also made locally. and large
quantities OF the skins are exported TO
the United States. Canada. England

Graphite a Wartime NeeesSi{V

Because of its use in the pAaufae.
ture OF crucibles for melting metals
and for foundry facings graphite is a
mineral resource OF vital Importance
aud In great demand in time of war.
The extraordinary activity both I'm this
country and abroad in the manufac-
ture of munitions has greatly stimu-
lated the graphite industry. Most of
the established graphite mines in the
eastern states notably Increased their
output in 1915, and in the Ashland dis
trict, Alabama, number of new mines
nave recently been opened most of
which have not yet reached the produc-
ing stage. Early in 1916 active dcyel.
opmcnt work was also begun on
graphite deposit OF much promise in
the Llano region. in Texas.
The full effect of the increased de.
mands will not be shown until these
new concerns begin to market their
product but even in 1915 the OUTPUT
OF natural crystalline graphite showed
mn Increase of about $4,000 pounds
over that for 1914.-United States Ge-
