EASY PICKING

Doubtless because of the deep cover
ing of their usual feed, squirrels and
birds in large numbers are attacking
the corn used in decorating the Mitch
ell corn palace and promise to speed
lily denude the handsome structure.
This year is the first year, in the men,
ory of those connected with the corn
palace that the squirrels have invaded
the place. The early SHOWS are be-
lieved to have driven these Industrious
animals to seek the corn that's tLere
for the asking. Pigeons have been
there always in force and are inclined
to contest the right of the squirrels
to the corn. Although the birds out
number the squirrels many to one the
little timber reds are able to hold their
own. All day yesterday the battle
ragged for supremacy, with the tide OF
combat first one way and then an
other. Latest word, however, is to
the effect that an armistice is being
considered and the chances are that
birds and squirrels will live in har-
mony during the winter, for the squir-
rels have given every indication of
spending the winter months under the
sheltering roofs of the corn palace.

OIL IN STATE

Ever since the discovery of natural
gas in the central and western parts
of this state It has been believed that
oil in paying quantities would some
day be discovered by accident Late
reports indicates that a real oil well
has already been drilled out in Stan
ley county. l. M. Geyer, the well
known stockman, has we'll which was
drilled for an artesian well which did
not flow, but the water rose to within
eighteen feet OF the top. This is the
deepest well in that part west of the
river county, but has not been a fiow-
ing proposition. Recently, however, a
strange phenomena has occurred
whereby the water in this well about
noon each day rises to the top and
flows over and on the surface there
is always supply Of crude oil. This
has caused great deal Of spec :lation
and interest and the theory there.
abouts is that a great gas pressure
below the water is responsible for
forcing this flow out of the we'll.
