From an unusual source comes severe arraignment
Of American civilization Our whole system of civilization
and work is attacked not by BoShevist an w. W..
Socialist Anarchist Of any recognized brand but
by an American Indian. He is the Reverend Chief Red
Fox otherwise known as Skhushu, redskin OF unusa
attainments who is engaged in religious and socol *
among the northern Backfeet.
Literally equipped with the white mans culture the
Reverend Red Fox sweeps it all aside worthless for
the only purposes that countthose of spiritual develop

golden age Of America He alike vaunted in

They are right in that and
no one can blame them.
What we ask is for you tel

claim to be better buyers, nor)

But, we do claim we are

n Of $3.50 900.
The company has leased five
thousand acres Of patented land on
Ohio Creek They will start opera
lions as soon rs material arrives.
Some Of the castings had to be ordered
from. Pittsburg. Penn. Oil well sup
plies are hard to get ut the present
time, due to the heavy demand for
material for new development else
where.
A contract has been let for the drill
ling Of well to a depth of 5000 feet,
unless oil is found in paying quanti-
ties at lesser depth" A twenty-four
inch hole is to be bored on the start.
Biologists say that oil will be found
at about 100 feet. Lumber for the
construction Of the derrick il cut and
will probably be on the location BY
the time this goes to press.
The oil well is to be sunk on q dome
shaped hill which has drainage of Of
four sides, near Castleton. Surveyor
Robinson intends drawing lines from
these four drainage points and where
these lines intersect on the hill, there
the well is to be bored.

There is no doubt IN excellent oil
