NATIONWIDE PROSPERITY.


Notwithstanding the well-recOgniz-

injurious orders in council of
Great Britain have placed upon our
export trade, our ports records show
an immense outflow of products of
our lands and OF our outputs of our
mills, shops, factories and mines. SO
huge are the worlds demands that it
can be said with approximate correct
ness that allowed the freedom of trade
with neutral nations which the status

would have been added to the values
last past and an equal sum to the val

Transactions in many lines of BUSH
ness are upon such a stupendous scale
OF volumes and values that the very
magnitude of them awes the most eX

1t is the same feeling that dweller
upon the plains experiences when sud

this country's immense export trade,
unless cut down by constant opera
ton of the oppressive and tyrannous
actions of the allies against our free
dom of the seas, can be made as per-
manent as the Himalayas, as secure
and stable as the Alps.
Every department of industry is en-
ploying record breaking numbers of
operatives and caring for record
breaking amounts in pay rolls.
Merchants and shopkeepers, from
those in the small country towns to
those in thegreat commercial cities,
report the largest retail distribution
of commodities that they have ever

1t now looks as if the values of the
outputs Of our great mining fields will

NO DRY GAS OR OIL
.GEOLOGIST SAYS THE FORMA.
i. TIONS NEAR PIERRE GIVE NO
EXCUSE FOR DRILLING
OIL WELLS.

Pierre, Aug. 25.-That there is
no likelihood of dry gas or oil in this
region is the conclusion reached by
Prof. Todd, formerly state geologist
of South Dakota. who has been MAX
ing a careful examination of the cen
trail portion of the state at the re-
quest Of interested citizens, who have
thought perhaps the artesian waters
and the supply of natural gas
Astounding in this portion did indi-
cate the presence of oil or dry gas
below.
Prof. Todd. in his report, says that
dry gas and oil are found i'm strata
folded into an anticlinal ridge or
dome. His conclusion, after kan
nation of the section of country
here, is that no trace mas been
found of any anticlinal or dome up
lift in this vicinity. Drilling, with
out finding such an uplift. | should
consider foolish, for not only would
it be a pure gamble, but like buying
a ticket in a fake lottery, in which
there is probably no prize; for. with
out concentration by an anticline or
dome, there is probably no oil or dry
gas to obtain. | am disappointed
with the rest of you in the result of
my work, and regret that | have to
report as | have, but the truth is
what we all want to know"
Prof. Todd says there is also an
other type of oil and gas well which
is found in porous strata, such as
sand and fissured limestone and
shales, and rarely, if ever, in clays
and shales, which are i%mpervious.
In Wyoming, Colorado and Califor-
MIA the oil occurs in formations
about the same as the Dakota sand
stone which carries the artesian wa
ter. he states, but that it should so
occur in South Dakota seems certain
ly disproved for all parts of our state
where a~rtesian wells have been sunk,
for in none of them have noticeable
quantities of either oil or gas been
found"
Prof. Todd came into this section
at the request of committees of
Pierre and Fort Pierre citizens. His
examination has extended consider
ably north Of Pierre, to Chantier and
Okobojo creek, Sully county, and
south Of Fort Pierre up Bad river.

SECRET OF RECLUSE
WHY WEALTHY CHICAGO MAN
ADOPTED TWO GIRLS.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-Edward w.
Morrison, a millionaire recluse, was
named in proceedings before Federal
Judge Lands today as the real fla
Their of two girls he recently adopt
ed. The accuser was Joseph Burn
stein, a Junk dealer. His wife, he
declared, confessed to him on her
deathbed that Morrison was the fa-
Their of the girls.
The millionaire, who is nearly so
years of age, denied the accusation.
His reason for adopting the girls, he
testified, was because their mother
had pleaded with him, when she was
taken i'll, to are for them. He had
known them all their lives, he said,
and was fond of them.
Anna, the eldest girl, is IS; her
sister, Alice, is 16 years old. They
have made their home with Morrison
since their adoption. about a month
ago.
Morrison attended my wife's flu
neral with me in June" Burnstein
testified. Il told him of my wife's
confession. Morrison said: Very
will, I'll fix it up with you"
The action before Judge Lands
was a petition to appoint a receiver
for Morrison's property, which has
been variously estimated in value
from 1900, 000 to $4,000, 900. One
of the contentious was that Morrison
had adopted the two girls to prevent
the city of Chicago from receiving
the estate, which, under the will of
his father, was to be done for educa-
tional purposes if Morrison died
childless.
Morrison is alleged to have given
away to certain friends during the
past seven years more than $4,000
600. One of the transactions con-
cerned was the transfer to James
Ward, his attorney, of the property
on which the Hotel Morrison stands.
II is declared to be worth more than
$4,000, 600. Property valued al
100000 was given to the lawyer un-
conditionally.
1t also was brought out that John
Sommers. who said he has known
Morrison for twenty-five years, had
received $500, 900 for providing the
aged millionaire with amusement.
