Well Drillers Find Air Vein Al
so Foot eLvel

A vein of air or gas was struck
at a depth of SO feet, when Joe
Reinsmith was drilling a we'll on
the c. p. Randelmann farm Just
east of town ON Wednesday of
last week. When this depth was
struck strong current of air
was released and came out of the
top of the pipe with sufficient
force to blow a whistle of large
size that was attached to the tor
of the pipe, and this continued
from Thursday noon until Friday
night when the air pressure was
APPARENTLY exhausted. The well
drillers continued after this and
a good flow of water struck at a
depth Of ~ feet.
The cause of the phenomenon
is a matter of conjecture an6

with a par value of 1916 bu-

Gasoline Test Case in N. Dakota

The much talked of case of the
Standard Oil Company VS. the
State of North Dakota took place
before three United States Jud-
ges-Judge c. F. Amidon of Far
60, N. d., Judge Wilbur Booth of
Minneapolis and Judge Hook of
Kansas City, Mo. These three
Judges sitting as a court were to
try the issues between the
Standard Oil Company and the
State of North Dakota, which
grew out of a bill passed at the
last session of the legislature at
Bismarck in February of this
year. This law provided for 1 cent
per gallon tax to be paid by any
firm selling substitute for gaso-
line to the people of North Da-
kcta. In this state the Standard
on Company were selling what
they call Red Crown gasoline, and
the state charged then / cent per
gallon tax on account of it not
being gasoline but a substitute,
The law provided for Ia cent per
gallon tax on pure straight run
gasoline. The Standard asked for
a temporary injunction on the
groud that they were selling pure
gasoline under the name Red
Crown, and should not be obliged
to pay the l cent per gallon tax.
The State of North Dakota intro
duced evidence to prove the Rec
Crown gasoline as sold in North
Dakota was not gasoline but a
substitute. And now comes the
decision of the United States
Judges; Judge Amidon and Judge
Booth held against granting the
Injunction asked for by the Stan
dard while Judge Hook dissented.
1t will now be up to the Standard
Oil Company to try its case in
court if it chooses to do so. But all
the while the case is going on, if
the Standard still sells its substi-.
tute or agsoline, it pays l cent
tax to the state. Judge w. S. Lau-
der of Wahpeton deserves much
credit for the able manner in
which he has handled the case
for the state of North Dakota.

Day County To Issue Bonds To
Build Roads

Petitions are being circulated
among the voters of Day county,
asking the county commissioners
to call a special election for the
purpose of voting bonds in the
sum of $4,000, 100000 for building
improving and graveling the
roads of Day county according to
the highway system recently
adopted by them. From reports
over the county, the proposition
is being received with enthus-
iasm, and the petitions are being
signed eagerly.
Under the old system of levy
ing taxes for road building pur-
poses, only a few miles could be
built a year, with the natural re-
suit that we have had a few main
roads that have been keep in a
semi-passable condition. Under
the new road laws, counties car
vote bonds for road purposes, and
thus put on a much more exten-
sive road building campaign. The
highway system adopted by the
county commissioners would put
a good road within two or three
miles of every farm, regardless
of the distance from a town, or
the particular section of the
county. No farm will be more
than two or three miles from a
first class graveled road, and of
course most of them will be near
er.
Bonds will be voted in the sum
of three million dollars. Not all
of this will be used at once. That
would be quite impossible. Per-
haps not over a fifth of it can be
used next year. That will depend
some on labor conditions and the
ability to get contractors enough
on the Job. Some have asked if
We will commence paying inter-
est on the entire three million at

Bad Hair Site May Be Chosen

and survey the different ioca-
tlons OF dam sites suitable for
power purposes which the state
is planning to utilize, have been
m Mobridge investigating the
place known as the Bad Hair site
Tor the past week. The engineers
report that this is -by-far the best
proposition that they have in
vestigated, owing to the fact that
the river at this point has a rock
foundation on which to build the
dam, also that it will develop
more power than any other site
in the state.
The location of this site also
from commercial standpoint is
1ar superior to that of any other
site IN the state, because of the
fact !. that it is so close to a market
Tor power. The Milwaukee road
would right from the start be q
customer for electric power. us
lngabout $4,000 horse power. for
Which it would pay $625. 900 an
nually. ! From this source alone
the state would derive more than
. per cent on it's investment and
having forty to fifty thousand
morse power to dispose of for
other purposes.
The dam and power station will
cost CO about $1O,00O,OOO. The M. 4
st. L. railroad would also build
INTO Mobridge and electrify their
road. In all this dam could dey-
elop enough power to electrifv
1900 miles of railroad by putting
IN transformers. 1t is also located
centrally and many towns could
be very easily connected and fur
