the symptoms, and at once sum

came at. a run, and were just in time,
for at the stroke of noon. he became
so violent that IL took all their
strength to hold him. In about five
minutes, however, he began to get
more and more quiet, and finally sank
into a sort OF melancholy. in which
state he has remained up to now.
The attendant tells me that his
screams whilst in the paroxysm were
really appalling; / found my hands

that might account for this difference anything the
Blum well shows up better at the start than the m
well further north So argument is assuming different
proportions and seems conclusive does it mott
There is another matter that hard for the
to believe who has crude oil come from the wells
of Indiana, Ohio, Oklahoma Kansas Texas and other
southern and eastern states Down there when the crude
oil from the well it is black greasy and nasty,
and naturally the unthnking will at glance condemn
the oil that from the Blum WELL because it is
nearly colorless having only slight tnge of yellow
color but still quite transparent This easy of explana
ton it would and the writer is borne out by the
opinion of geologist who has given the matter great
deal of quiet investigation. It is this way:
The Ignite coal is made from forests of redwood
trees great giants There almost entire absence of
coal mines of North Dakota The coal is clean ITSELF and
when the hands become soed in handling the coal is
easily rubbed washed off, Not so with the southern
or eastern coal This coal is made from rank tropical
foliage and specimens of large ferns strange barks of
trees reptiles etc. to be found imprinted upon the
slate above and below the body of the coal in the
This kind of material was SOFT and quick growing and
when carbonized naturally dirty and SOFT and the
oil from such product would also naturally be dirty
greasy and nasty AS stated therefore the inexperienced
jumps to the conclusion that it cannot be true that
pure article from the coal of North Dakota
if the oil that from the coal of the south and east
is messy.
But enough Of this or less rambling discussion
OF science that very few of know about The fact
remains that all signs point to large body of oil
where below the surface of the EARTH and given
understand that the company that has been formed to
investigate further this well the Blum farm Des
Laos, is going to keep drilling until depth of 1000
feet reached and thus settle for all time whether
there is oil in paying quantities in this part of the state
of North Dakota Theirs is not stock-sellng PROPOSE
ton such propositions usually understood, but
rather they acting explorers for the entire north
western portion of the state and in that capacity are
entitled to the undivided confidence of all people,
1t is worth goodly piece of anyones money who has
property in this section of the country in this
laudable undertaking. In Montana company has been
formed and $4,000 will be spent this coming year in
prospecting for this vein of OIL They think it can
be found the line; folks think it will be
found Des Lacs Which is right? remains for all
those who have the interest of this part of the state to
get behind these who are stalking great deal of
money, besides their valuable time, for whatato help
themselves it is true but at the time help every

Bids for new tractors were opened,
but the awarding of contracts was
deferred until May 1. Culvert con-
tracts for 1917 were awarded the Gill

went to the Northwestern Sheet &
Iron works.

road purposes in Sec. 14-143-79, The
auditor was instructed to offer for
sale Titan tractors, all but one of
which have been in use but two years,
and whose original list price was $3,-

two at $3.50 each, and one, which has
been in service three years, at $500.
New Road opened
This meeting was the date set for
hearing objections to the opening of
a proposed road on the county line be-
tween Burleigh and Kidder. No pro-
testants appeared, and the road was
declared open, beginning at the
southeast corner of township 1915

Practically all the above wells are on bodies of lig-

trying to prove is that there is lots of gas in the
neghborhood where this oil discovered so that there
must be something to this latter find besides hot air.
Some people may suspicion the small quantity of oil
found at depth of 224 feet and say that there is no
of going further down into the earth. Let us see
what find upon this subject.
The Dernamen company oil well in Alberta, Canada,
has the following log from the drillers:
l. At depth of 1851 feet there was showing of
barrel of crude oil per day.
2. At the depth of 481 feet this well showed five
barrels of oil per day.
8. At the depth of 1858 feet it yielded II barrels
per day
4. At the depth of 1870 feet there was an increase
to 81 barrels per day.
5. At the depth of Ala feet the volume had grown
to so barrels per day
6. At the depth of 1857 feet this we'll turned out
to be 200 barrel we'll per day.

southeast therefore in this instance this rule
