Mr.. Oscar T. Hinton, Mr.. John M.
Stuart and several others represent
ing the Greater Kentucky Petroleum
Company, of this city, have gone to
Scottsville on trip of inspection.
They will be gone several days MAX
ing a thorough inspection of the oil
territory in that vicinity.
Mr.. Charles Wilmoth returned
Tuesday night from a stay of several
weeks in and around Munday, Texas,
and in Oklahoma, where he is inter
ested in the oil business. Mr.. Will
moth reports the prospects there as
being very bright for a successful
season, and that the oil and mineral
business seems to be taking a decided
hold on the West. He saw some big
wells during his stay and says show
ers Of oil are a common thing in
some parts of the big field.
A message was received here Wed
nesday from the field manager Of the
Ranger, Texas, oil fields, stating that
another we'll ON the holdings of Geo
B. Keller, formerly of Paris, had
come in, and was estimated to be
making not less than $500 barrels,
The massage stated. that about TWEEN
ty other wells on the same field are
due in soon, from which good pros
poets are expected. Mr.. Keller, who
has been visiting his parents, DR.. and
Mrs. A. H. Keller, in this city, fol
several weeks, has returned to his
home in Mckinney, Texas.
According to a report from the In
dian Refining Company, operating in
the Lee, Estill and Allen county
fields, $4,000 barrels of oil were
shipped over this company's lines
during May From Estill and Lee
counties 49,183.33 barrels were run,
while the production from the west
ern fields showed an increase i'm pro-
duction handled by this company
amounting to 50,517.03 barrels. The
larger part of the output of the wells
in the several fields of Kentucky pass
through the Cumberland pipe lines,
and this report can not be relied upon
for a definite output from the pools
in Kentucky.
Mr.. Harry B. Clay, of Paris, vice
president of the Old Rosebud Oil
Company, has returned from a trip
of inspection to the Company's hold
ings in the Big Sinking District of
the oil fields. Many rumors had
been current regarding the capacity
of the new we'll brought in last Sat-
urday on the Company's lease, and
Mr.. Clay determined to make trip
for the purpose of finding out just
how matters stood. In a talk with the
head driller, he asked the latter as
to how much the we'll would make.
The old fellow for a time would only
say, "Well, she's heller!" Finally
it was conservatively estimated that
the we'll would run between four and
five hundred barrels. Mr.. Clay re-
turned firm in the belief that the new
well was wonder.

Major Neville Fisher, formerly of
Paris, has returned from overseas

The expense for road work $1,000
For salaries. engineering, clerk
hire and general expense $4,000
The Attorney Generals pool hall
funds amount to $4,000
The expense is 10000
He is free to expend every cent of
the money. Now, think it clear that
such laws are not constitutional The
state may not levy tax and say that
any person may expend it accordingly
to his own good will and pleasure.
When the present state admins
tration took Office, it was thought we'll
to reward the faithful handsomely by
putting no limit to their power. The
Attorney General was the pet of the
household. He was the one whom the
wise men delighted to honor. He was
given for his department the free use
of nearly $4,000 a year and per-
quisite of about another $4,000. He
was put on the Banking board, the
Auditing board, and in short, on every
board During the first two years he
kept strictly in line and never once
crossed the powers that be, but dur
ing the past year he has thot himself
strong enough to go it alone and do
resent correction If he has erred the
powers have got nothing only what
they deserved. 1t is down right folly
to make king of man and to trust
anyone that is a public servant with
out proper restraints and limitations.
1t is folly to give compensation bur-
eau power to pay $500 or 10000 for
numbering rate schedule, when in
few days a competent board could
have made proper rate schedule.
Now, at the coming session of the
, solons we look for them to make
, proper and just schedule of compen-
,ation rates; to classify the civil SER
vice, and to fix just salary for each
appointee; also to limit and safe guard
the expenditures of public money;
to provide a monthly examination
! and accounting and for more ettici-
ert public service; and, above all, to
cut down the tax levies

LEAVE ORDERS FOR KU6ANeA
DURAN SEED WHEAT

In order that we may be better
able to reach all parts of the county
on the Kubanka Durum seed wheat
project q local seed wheat committee
man is 20 be appointed at different
towns to take orders orders for the
wheat and look after the collections
and the distribution of the wheat
>shen it arrives.
We find that the farmers who have
this wheat for sale in Cavalier county
ere not prepared to clean very much
of it and we will probbly have to buy
it as it came from the machine.
When we get orders enough for
carload we will send for sample
which will be presented to the local
committeeman who took your order
and it will then be for him to decide
whether or not the sample is satis-
factory
The local committeeman also de-
cides on what condition he will take
orders for this wheat He may want
to collect the cash beforehand or at
the time the wheat is delivered. we
as customers should remember that
tile Cavalier county farmer must be
maid before We unload the wheat.
Men from some of the other counties
and states are after the same wheat
and if we are to get any OF 1t, 1t
is necessary that we get our orders
in at once Therefore if interested
see your local committeeman now
If no seed wheat committeeman has
been appointed for your town write
me stating amount wanted.
The committeeman that first gets
enough orders for a carload will get
the first wheat, or in other words hrst
come first seved. No committeeman
will get less than a carload unless he
combines his orders with some other
committeeman to make up carload.
J., Several questions have come in ask
ing if Kubanka Durum and D5 are the
mers' Elevator at Underwood, Colehar-

very highly on account OF Its poor
milling qualities.
Up to date the manager of the Far
,ners' Elevator at Underwood, Colehar-
Dor, Garrison and Max have been ap.
pointed as local committeeman. Call
and talk the matter over with them,

in all but very few cases the South
Dakota buyers were paying premium
over government prices, and that the
prices averaged higher than those
paid by the North Dakota mill.
The incident is of interest to North
Dakota because it shows the methods
of figuring league benefits" With a
bit of pencil and a paper, league
editor can pile up the millions In
benefits to the farmers" accruing
from the league, but the benefits
are all of this shadowy kind, while
the tripled taxes are very real, indeed.

tRroas5 isn't it p. asked one old

means Townley, to facilitate the car

That word facilitate is the little joker

There is no question but that the
ratification of the Women's Suffrage
Amendment to the Federal constitu.
tioin will come up for action. The
Governor cites that as one reason for
the special session Just whether or
not the legislature will ratify the
amendment is a question. There are
men high in the ranks OF the Order of
the Post Dated Check who recall with
inward shudders the way the women
of the state threw Neil Mcdonald out
of Office, and elected their candidate,
Miss Minnie Nelson.
The governor also declares the ses
sion is called to provide aid for the
drouth-stricken farmers. SO far, no
one has been able to determine just
what means may be suggested. Money
is the essential in giving aid. Per
haps the scheme will be to use the
funds in the Bank Of North Dakota, to
bolster the political fences and better
the following among the sufferers
from the dry year.
Those are the three things announc,
ed But there is grist Of other
legislation certain to come up, which
are as follows:
The impeachment of LANCER, Hall
and Kositzky.
The repeal of the withdrawal priv
ilege" of the hail tax law. A dissec'
ton of the Home Builders Law, and
the repeal Of the law which created
the state license department, all OF
which will enable the Townley faction
to get more complete CONTROL OF
the state funds, and to tie the hands OF
the three officials who are telling the
truth to the people.
