HOOVER MAKES GOOD REPORT
On LORDSBURG DISTRICT

The deep test Of the Buffalo Oil
and Gas company, nine miles southwest
OF LordSburg, y. NJ, is now down 800
feet aud making good progress. The
management hopes 10 strike the first
oil at $50 feet. The well is In the
Playas Basin, which extends sOuthward
through Ilidalgo county to the Mexico
border. ii. \. Hoover mining engineer
who has just returned from that region
ana reports great interest on plans
for drilling through the valley. A re-
port 10y Milton McWhorter geologist.
who has made a thorough geological
survey, states that the greater part Of
PlayaS Valley is reasonably sure to be
oil-bearing territory.
The valley lies between the Animas
mountain range on the west and the
lllachita mountain range on the east.

mountain range exposes the sedimcnta-

BONUS PROSPECT
STILL GLOOMY
HOUSTON AND OTHER OPPoN-
ENTs OF FORDNEY BILL TO
ATTACK MEASURE BEFORE
SENATE COMMITTEES.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Opponents
TO the passage of the Fordney SOL
diers' bonus bill, headed by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Houston, will
have their innings before the Sem
ate Finance COMMITTEES. beginning
Wednesday.
The secretary, who has repeated
" gone on record against the bonus
grant, probably will be the first wit
ness.
Following him will be heard rep
resentatives of New York firms who
will protest against some of the tax
features of the bill. AS the measure
passed the House, it carried addi-
tional surtaxes on incomes 1 per
cent, on those between $1,000 and
10000; per cent on those be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, and 8
per cent on those above the last nam
ed figure. In addition there are
taxes on stock and bond sales and
transfers, produce. and real estate
taxes, and leyies on tobacco, cigars
and cigarets.
ReinsertiOn of a sales tax proyis-
sion, Knocked out of the House bill
last spring by the threatened filibus-
ter of group of western members
headed by Representative Johnson,
of South Dakota. is a proposal likely
to be made to the senate committee.
should the committee decide, how
ever, 10 reinstate the sales tax, it
will pave the way for a long drawn
out fight in conference should the
bill. as amended, pass the senate.
Chances for the bills passage at
this session look no better than they
did before the recently concluded
hearings at which the American Lee
gion and Veterans of Foreign wars
spokesman appeared. With the OPP
ponents OF the measure to be here
in force ON Wednesday, the bills
prospect of passage will be even
gloomier, it is predicted. Among
those to be heard the coming week
will be representatives of certain Lee
gion posts which have gone on rec
ord against the bill, and several
prominent, though unaffiliated. ex-
service men.
Members of the finance commit-
tee admit they can see little prospect
of the bills passage at this session,
or even at the special session which
will follow Harding's inauguration.
with the financial condition of the
country such as it is. Realizing this
legion representatives are not cam
paigning SO much for the Fordney
bill as for those measures designat-
ed to aid specifically the sick and
disabled veterans of the war.

Sioux Falls, Dec. ga separate

thing long sought by the women Of
South Dakota as an imperative need
in the care of the younger members
of the feminine sex who require Of
ficial guidance. lis a prospect Of the
not far distant future, according to
Miss Kathryn Connors, chairman of
the woman's inspection board of the
state. Miss Connors is just back
from Pierre where she attended
meeting of the budget board and
men and women interested in the
public health and morals of the
wards of the state.
Mrs. III. T. Kenaston of Bonesteel.
secretary for South Dakota for the
child welfare committee. has been
working for some time to improve
the conditions of the children and
called a meeting of her committee.
which includes Miss Connors, DR..
Park b. Jenkins of Waubay, state
superintendent of the South Dakota
public health association, andC. b.
Powers, state parole member of the
board of charities and corrections.
They discussed their financial needs
with the budget board for recon-
mendafions to the state legislature.
Miss Connors recommended that
the present industrial home at Plan
kinton for boys and girls, be left en-
tireIy to boys, for obvious reasons,
and that the republican platform
pledge of a separate institution for
girls, to be located in the country, be
provided for She asked for 160
acres but at least so acres. and three
cottages. one of which would be q
hospital This hospital is intended
to be used as a detention home for
woman and girls afflicted with di-
seases that are making rapid inroads
upon the health of communities but
about which the same degree of pub
licity is seldom sought. DR.. Jen-
kins is cooperating with the women
in this respect and believes that the
legislature may be prevailed upon to
see the wisdom of providing for this
institution as safeguard to the
health of the women and those with
whom they come in contact.
AT the same time Miss Connors
and the members of the inspection
board are advocating gymnasium
and swimming pool for the boys in
dustrial school at Plankinton, while
it is planned to make gardening and
outdoor life feature Of the pr0pos-
ed girls school. Miss Connors Is of
the opinion that this girls school
may be made nearly seIf-sustaining
and she was instructed to get plans
from architects for its cost.
