To Increase the Flow.

The flow Of the oil well has been
increased by an electrical method OF
heating the material as it reposes at
the bottom of the well. The process
was made use of with great success
in operating the abandoned wells Of
Rumania and Galicia during the war.
= he heating process decreases the
viscidity of the oil, usually occasion
ed by the admission of air to the well
and the cooling of the rock bed. Min
ute crevices and capillary channels
which afford easy passage to warm,
thin oil. become quite impossible if
the oil gums. The electric heating
method not only thins the oil, but Of
ten generates gas, whose pressure
helps the oil to the surface.

ENTANGLING ALLIANCES.

(Woodrow Wilson, May 6, 1910
There are just as vital things stir
ring now that concern the existence
of the nation as were stirring then
to- wit: in Washingtons time) and
every man who worthiy stands in
this presence should examine himself
and see whether he has the full con-
ception of what it means. America
should live her own life. Washington
saw it when he wrote his farewell ad-
dress 1t was not merely because OF
passing and transient circumstances
that Washington said we must keep
from entanglng alliances. 1t was be-
cause he saw that no country had
yet set its face in the same direction
in which America had set her face.
We can not form alliances with those
who are not going our way, and in
our might and in the confidence and
definiteness of our own purpose we
need not and we should not form al
hances with any nation in the world
their consciences in determining their
policy, those who hold their honor
higher than their advantages, do not
need alliances. When we go out from
this presence we ought to take the
idea with us that we too are devoted
to the purpose of enabling America to
live her own life to be the justest.

orable, the most enlightened nation in

Bolshevist propaganda is said to be
responsible for the emigration from
this country of large number OF
aliens. According to the Savings
Bank section of the American Bank
ers association an exodus of six mil
lion persons, taking with them four
billion dollars, is probable. unless
steps are taken to check the propa-
ganda. The New York customs house
officials are said to have asserted that
those now sailing from that port carry
with them from $4,000 to $4,000
apiece in United States currency. AL
so it is estimated that fully 100000
persons can not be stopped from de-
parting and they will take four-fifths
OF the total currency of this country.
AS many as six million aliens may be
lured, it is said, by the bolshevist call.
"This is very serious" says the New
Service. Yes, it would be extremely
serious if it were true. Our news
papers every day contain statements
quite capable of robbing us of our
sleep If we had to believe them. We
doubt whether any such number will
want to leave or could be permitted
e. leave for some time to come; we
doubt their ability to carry away so
much currency; and If they were
really bolshevists in spirit we would
speed their departure with swift
kick even II they went away with
pockets bullying with money.

The Rocky Mountain club, of New

UNDEVELoPED RESOURCES OF
SHOSHONE COUNTY.

For many years we have been dis
posed to regard that part of Shoshone
county lying south of the ST. Joe di-
vide as an asset of doubtful value,
merely a source of considerable rev.
enue in the form of taxes levied upon
timber holdings and the railroad that
follows the st. Joe river, but not
worth the expenditure of county
funds as an encouragement to set
Element and development. Former
boards of county commissioners have
given little attention to the st. Joe
section, and petitions for road i'm
Iprovements, bridges, etc, have either
been turned down or scant appropria-
tons made. The present board of
commissioners, however, are evidently
disposed to pursue different policy
in dealing with that section. In the
! first place they propose to know
through personal observation the con-
dtions and therefore place themselves
/ in position to act intelligently upon
propositions requiring their action
and in spirit of fairness to the peo-
/ pile of that section. Last week the
three commissioners visited Clarkia
and the tributary territory and they
returned with a totally changed idea
of the natural resources of that part
of the county and greatly impressed
with the possibilities of their develop
ment. They have discovered that the
Occur d'Alene mining district is not
all of Shoshone county, and that the
possibilities of timber, mining and
agricultural development in that Sec
ton lying south of the St Joe amply
justify substantial encouragement
from the county government. There
are thousands of acres covered with
white pine in the cutting of which
great number of men will be employ
ed by the large timber companies for
many years. Much of the land upon
which this stands, particularly in the
u npt .Nf hA xtyill
be converted into productive farms
when the timber is removed. for the
soil is rich and admirably adapted to
farm products and fruit growing. Fur
Their to the east, at the headwaters of
the St Joe and along the line of the
Milwaukee railroad, important min
eral discoveries have been made and
productive mines have been opened in
the vicinity of Adair. In fact the
known mineral resources of that sec
ton justify the prediction that the in
dustry will grow to a position of great
Importance.
Shoshone county is about seventy
miles from the northern to the south
ern boundary, and has an average
width east and west of about thirty
or thirty-five miles, The ST. Joe d.
vide, the range of mountains just
south of Wallace. cuts the county |
practically half in two, and we of the |
Occur d'Alene district have long re-
garded that section south of the ST |
Joe as sort of mo mans land" We |
are beginning to realize now that it is
a valuable asset, and that the devel-
opment of its resources will probably
result in large addition to our ma
terial wealth.

TEXAS DEMOCRAT NAMES WILL
SONS GREATEST SERVICE.

The solid south is broken and Will
son did it. The great bulwark OF
democracy has crumbled. The old or
der passeth. woodrow has spilled the
beans. Colonel Watterson has told
the story in his inimitable style which
is summed up in Mr. Wilson'S medic
ere mind and colossal vanity which
have already carried him far to sea-"
If there are those who think that the
Watterson characterization of the
president is too severe, that it merely
reflects his super critical view and
does not represent any considerable
sentiment in the south, they are ad-
vised to read contribution in the
last issue of Harvey's WEEKLY from
A, G. Browne, of Tacoma, who was
moved to record his observations upon
recent visit to Texas which took
him to remote sections of the state,
as well as to the centers of popula-
ton Texas is the home of Colonel
House, fact that gives special signi-
fcance to the prevailing sentiment in
that state with reference to the pres
ident. Here is an extract from Mr.,
Brownies letter:

Worth pontedly, What do you
think of Mr.. Wilson," Mr.. Will
SON." he said in that same slow,
deliberate manner, lis doing this
country one splendid, outstand-
ing service, which will live in his
tory as the great accomplishment
of his ministra ton"-and then
he paused, waiting for me to ask
him what it was. | was silent,
because | supposed of course he
was referring to the league of ma
lions, and | did not want to eX
press my views on that subject.
Seeing that | was not going to
ask him, he then asked me, And
do you know what that is?' "No,"
! said, though l thought | knew
perfectly we'll what he meant--it
just shows how wrong one can be,
well, sir he said, Mr. Wilson
has at last succeeded in breaking
up the so-called solid south. Never
again will the democratic party be
able to take it for granted that
100 or 10 electoral votes are salt
ed away on the shelf to be used
when needed. In fact" he con-
tinued, damned if | don't honest
ly believe that the next election
will show the south to be solid
republican, and our children will
always be able to point to Mr..
Wilson as the man who accom-
plished for the country that which
will certainly be one of the great
; est of blessings and deserve the
gratitude of all posterity."
Doctor" 1 said, when | had re-
covered from my establishment,
did you vote for Wilson at the
last election?" yes, damn it,
he said, but l prayed for
Hughes" And then he went on,
Its mighty hard" q wish ] could
convey in writing that delightful
drawD "to break the habits of
whole life time; but" (and here he
held up his right hand) never
again! Elk Senator Bailey put it
in words for us the other day,
what we all felt for so long; and
now that the ice is broken, while

like Grover Cleveland, I'm prepar-
ed to vote for a good republican

say, if Leonard Wood runs I'll go

Of the stations answer or make any use

OF the enemy locating them, but to be
