Gently inaugurated to awaken GUS

Any number of customers have come

they had merely got into the habit of
taking much longer time than was
necessary and as long as it was per-
mitted, had been satisfied to let ii

modestly dressed old lady was seen
walking through Tuileries Gardens.
AS she walked she would stop to pick
autumn flowers. scared and blasted
by the cold, but no more faded than
her cheeks. Passersby. seeing her
and knowing the regulations of the
park, expected some policeman to ad-
monish her, but she passed on, fol-

the uniformed representatives of the
law.
1t was the once proud empress,
Eugene, who. bowed beneath the
weight of 90 winters, thus plucked
withered flowers from q garden that
was once hers. She was revisiting q

STANLEY COUNTY
CRUDE OIL
WATER IN FREAK ARTESIAN
WELL NEAR HOPEWELL SAID
TO SHOW OIL.

Pierre, Dec. 8.-For more than 20
years Pierre people have contended
that they are in the midst of great
oil district. or at least on the edge of
one. they have likewise said that
this will probably be discovered by
accident, as it seems that no concert
ed action can-sbe secured to drill a
test well, but late reports Indicate
that real OIL wen has already been
drilledDut In Stanley county.
I. M. Geyer. the well known stock
man, has well which was drilled for
an artesian well which did not flow,
but the water rose to within 18 feet
OF the top. This is the deepest well
in that locality.
Recently, however, a strange phe-
nomena 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 a
supply of crude oil.
This has caused a great deal OF
speculation and interest and the the
ory thereabouts is that groat gas
pressure below the water is responsi-
bic for forcing this flow out Of the
we'll.
This theory is undoubtedly correct
and is in direct line with what we
have always contended, that the nat
uray gas supply which has been at
Pierre continuously since 1898 and
has been found in wells west of here
since, is a supply which comes
through. assures In the rocks below
the artesian flow and this permeates
the artesian water.
This strange action of the Hopewell
well is important as sign of pros
perity for this country. as it is believ-
ed it will lead to the discovery of oil
which will ultimately make Pierre
the greatest city in the northwest.
We have experienced enough
changes in the operation of this nat
ural gas in power production to re-
alize that there is something potent
as supply somewhere in Mother
Earth nearby, that spells oil and
volumes of it. 1t Is asserted that
when one we'll is discovered there
will be rush to this country such
as the northwest never before expert
enced, even in the early SOS.
