Philip and Interior Play
Fifteen Innings

Sunday afternoon at Interior an
other of those real ball games
were played when Interior and
Philip met again in second game
and Philip took the long end of a
two to one score, but it took tif-
teen innings of real ball playing
TO do it. The first game between
these towns was won by Interior
in eleven innings by score of
three to two. We understand
that the third game of the series
will lie played at Cottonwood, and
that matched game is being ar
ranged between the teams and
that this special game will be
p'aved on the kadoka diamond.
Interior hsa a home town team
that cannot be defeated by any
other all home team in this part
Of the state, and the next games
between Interior and Philip will
be real ones.

half OF Butte county off into q new
county to be known AS Castle Rock
county and the residents in the yicini
move.
The south Dakota Oil and Refin
ing company, a corporation OF Huron
S D., has made leases with the own
county land north OF Murdo, under
the terms OF which they acquire the
rights TO all oil and gas found there
in, giving to the lessor one-eighth OF
all oil or gas produced. The leases
run for an indefinite period in the
event that a paying production OF oil
is found. 1t is the intention OF this
company TO commence the drilling OF
wells on several OF these tracts al
once. Most Of the land leased lies In
the artesian belt in the north tier OF
Townships of Jones county. Gas has
been found In abundance in this ter.
ritory, one ranch being equipped with
gas for both lights and heating o.
the ranch house; and there are alsC
many indications OF oil in the arte
sian wells drilled for watering pur
poses. At the time the city well al
Murdo was drilled considerable oil
was found in the deposits taken out
OF il. Gas aiso was found in the mud
as 1t was taken out OF the hole with
the ,slush bucket. A lighted match ap
piled to the top OF the bucket would
often cause a considerable explosion
and the escaping gas would burn for
several minutes. Reports indicate
that the first actual drilling in any OF
the proposed OH projects in the state
outside OF that In the Black Hills
region will be on the Perkins county
deal, as they have drilling rig on the
way TO the proposed location The
question Of whether or not oil can be
found in this state will be put TO the
actual test OF the drill at several
places before the coming OF a new
year.

DEMOCRATS TO CALL

Supporters of President Fluuut

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-Possibi,i-

huential Democratic Senators to move
today for caucus to discuss a pos
sible change in party policy. and re-
vivcd the hopes Of tho Republicans that
the treaty. might yet be ratified with
mo Republican reservations adopted at
the last session Of Congress.
On the. Republican side it was as
serted that twenty-five Democrats,
only dozen short of the number re-
CURED to insure ratification, had sicni-
ned Willingness to accept the Re-
publican reservation program as It is.
This total the administration chiefs
declared exaggerated.
Among both Democrats and Rcpubli- :
cans. 1t Is realized that tho endeavor to
hrcak down Democratic resistance still
mas long wav to go if IL Is to sue
ceed. SiSty-four are required to ratify
the treaty and although thirty-four
Republicans voted for ratification in
November. the party leaders are sure
now OF tie support OF only thirty.
That leaves thirty-four to be delivered
nv tho Democrats, an even dozen more
than the figure which representcd the
peak of Republican claims today.

that the caucus might throw over tho
