20 Are Missing
After Collision
OF Lake Boats
Four of Freighter's Crew
Saved When Vessel Is
Rammed by Steamer Off
the Coast of Michigan
Entire Stern Torn Away
One Captain Says the Night
Was Clear, Other Denies
1t; Woman Believed Lost

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Aug. 81.
The lives Of twenty-nine persons, one
Of them a woman, are believed to have
been lost shortly after o'clock last
night, when the steamer Superior City,
a freighter, sank four and hnlf miles
northeast of Whitehsh Point, in Lake
Superior, after colliding with the
steamer Willis L. King.
Four members of the crew, including
Captain Edward Sawyers, Of Albion,
Mich, were saved. The missing woman
is the wife Of the second engineer.
Captain Sawyers would make no
statement, except that tho night was
clear, no fog being in evidence.
Walter Richter, boatswain. one of the
survivors and who was brought here by
the steamer Turner, is in a hospital,
seriously injured.
The captains alarm signal rang just
two minutes before the crash" said
Richter. of we had had two minutes
more no lives would have been lost.
The King struck us just aft Of amid
ships on the port SIDE, and the impact
took away the entire stern. The crew
kept their heads, and all waited calmly
for the boats to be launched, but there
was no time. Several of the boats were
torn away while the men were attempt
ing to launch them.
"a boat l was attempting to launch
was thrown overheard, carrying me
with it,
Richter reached a floating hatch
cover, and later was rescued by the
Turner. Richter's home is in Lorain.

Other survivors were Gal Lehne. of

son, of Cleveland, wheelsman. These
two, with the captain, were brought
here this morning.
In the belief that some of the missing
members Of tho crew may be clinging
to floating wreckago, tug and lifesav-
ers and coast guard men are patrolling
the lake in che vicinity Of the disaster.
Despite the statement Of Captain
Sawyers of the Superior City that the
night was clear, Captain Herman Mel
son and members of the crew Of the
Willis l.. King declared to-day heavy
fog hung over the lake at the time Of
the accident. They arrived here to-day
on their vessel.

AND CANDY TO
SPEAK AT THE FAIR

Secretary E. "a. Lins has just
received assurances that Governor
Norbeck will speak here during
one of the days of our county fair.
Arrangement has been made to
have the Governor with us on the
last day of the fair, and we under
stand that this date will likely be
acceptable to Governor Norbeck,
though there is a slight possibility
that there may be sor1e change in
the date.
Hon. Harry S. Candy, congress-
man from this district, will speak
during one day Of the fair also,
though it is not known at this
writing the exact day he will be
able to be present.
THE BIG INTERIOR ROUNDUP
All the Philip people who at
tended the Interior Round-U Up last
week, and there were goodly num-
ber of them, report the affair one
big success. There was no acci-
dent in the weather to mar the
program from start to finish.
Estimates as to the size of the
crowd vary. but it ran well up in
to the thousands. We understand
the committee in charge was we'll
satisfied with the gate RECEIPTS,
and that the Roundup was fin-|
ancial success.
The riding, roping. and other
stunts were tip-top. This part of
the program left nothing to be del
sired. Some Of the best riders in]
the world, both male and female,l

PHILIP MAY Be CENTER
OF BIG OIL DISTRICT
Local Men Have Leases On Over $4,000 Acres Of Land Near
Philip Drilling May be Commenced This Fall

This Office has been flooded with
inquiries of late regarding the
prospects of oil in this vicinity,
and what is being done with regard
to promoting the enterprise. 1t has
been generally known for some
time that certain local men have
been busy along this line and the
Pioneer-Review has taken upon it
self the responsibility of giving its
readers the truth of the matter SO
far az as we have been able to ascer-
tain.
DR.. N. B. Gearhart, Will II.
Walpole and Ned H. Benedict are
the three Philip men who have
been actively interested and have
been working on the proposition
for several weeks. We were really
surprised when they exhibited tile
documentary evidence Of the pro-
gress they have made and the pros
poets which led them to take up
the matter.
As we all know DIR. Gearhart
has been interested in the oil bu-
slness for many years, and at pre-
sent owns a large amount of stock
in Mexican wells which the dis
orders in that country during the
past several years has forced them
to abandon. DIR. Gearhart from
his experience in oil countries has
for long time believed there was
oil In this section of South Dako-
ia. He has taken up the matter
with experts, and early in July,
man said to be without question
the greatest expert in the country
visited this section and spent some
time looking over various sections.
This man has spent many years tsg
his life In the development of al
scientific method of locating oil.
From what he reported to them
they are led to believe that the
first well sunk will strike a flow
of oil. This may seem little too
much to expect, but remember this
is what the greatest oil expert in
the world has encouraged them to
believe.
The local men have during the
past two weeks secured leases on |
more than $4,000 acres of land in
Haakon county within a radius of i
twenty miles from Philip. This is
much more than they had expect
ed to secure within this short time
but it also desired to secure more.
The outside people will not come
in and go to the expense of put
ting down wells without assurance
that the land surrounding can be
secured either for drilling pur-
poses or for running pipe lines. A |
lease for oil does not in any way
effect the title to the land except |
SO farsas the oil is concerned. InI
case oil is strAck- most reason
able royalty is allowed. In fact we
are told that the proposition Of
fered is as liberal an any offered
and owners in any oil country, and
much more than is usually given.
No one will be asked for dona-

HAAKON COUNTY FAIR NEXT
WEEK.

Again we remind our readers
that the annual Haakon County
Fair is at hand. It will be held
here in Philip, September, End 3rd
and 9TH.
Secretary Lins and a crew of
helpers have been busy all week
getting everything in readiness.
The indications are that enough
prduce will be brought in to fill
the exhibit hall and that the stuff
displayed will be of fine quality.
The boys and girls club work
will take a prominent place and be
large feature as was last year.
We expect to see the boys and the
girls of Haakon county fairly OUT
do themselves with their exhibits
this year
Some of the iiveliest sporting
attractions will be put on that
have ever been seen on the local
grounds. This alone will be worth
chucking the pitch fork into the
side of the. stack and coming miles
to see.
1t would take too much space to
attempt to tell of all the attrac-
tions that are to be at the fair. It
is enough to say that never have
the people in charge put forth so
much effort to make the fair a sic
cess, and never have they been so
certain the fair will be bigger
success than ever before.
The pioneer-review. [volume] (Philip, Haakon County, S.D.) 1920-current, 1920-08-19

tlons, or to buy stock for the Dur-
pose of putting down test wells.
This expense will be taken care of
by those who are promoting the
T, proposition and test wells will be
put down in various parts Of the
locality SO that the matter will be
thoroughly tried out.
In fact it means that the land
owners will have an opportunity
of seeing this section of the cean+
| try thoroughly tested for oil with
out one cent of expense to them.
This is more than can be said of
many of the. concerns that have
sprung up in various parts of the
country where the local people and
owners are asked to stand the ex-
pense.
1t is planned if possible to Sc
cure the necessary machinery and
men to start drilling this fall. The
southern concerns with which the
local parties have been in cores
pondence have signified a willing
ness to come in, and the three gen
tlemen named above left yesterday
morning for Wyoming where they
Will endeavor to secure an outfit
to begin work at once. 1t is hoped
to have the work far enough along
by the time cold weather sets in SO
that it can b. continued to a GER
tain extent during the winter
months.
At the present time they are Sc
curing leases from the land owners
of this section, and let us saw we
believe every owner should be will
ing to lease his land for this pur-
pose. 1t is certainly worth great
deal to have the country thorough
ly tested for oil. If oil is struck at {,
any time during the first few tests
Ut will mean more than anything
that could happen to the country.
And certainly this is the only way
it can be developed. No man can
afford to put down a test well on
his place and bear the expense
Even though he did it would not
be q fair test of the country as a
whole. He might not be able tol
get a sign of oil and his neighbors
land might be rich with it if It'll
could only be found.
The only way to have the matter !
settled is to get in with a lease
for your land and allow the peo-
pie. who are willing to put their
money into the venture to bear
the burden of the expense of the
development. In this way every
one may share in the benefits if it
proves out, and only few will,
stand the expense in case it does
not. 1t is much more desirable to
nave the land as near as possible
m body and the promoters are
with this in view If you
know that your land is within the
territory they are working, we adj /
vlse you to call on them and let I
hem explain the whole PROPOSE
lion. Then we believe you will
oOk at it as we do

PHILIP HAS A NEW FIRE EN-
CINE.

The Philip Volunteer Fire De-
partment, and no town of the size
inthis state has better one, was
made happy last week by the ar,
rival of new Ford truck, motor
driven, chemical and fire engine.
The thing is all resplendent with
red paint and has emblazoned upon
it's hood the word PHILIP in gor-
geous letters foot high. No won
der it pleases the boys.
The new machine costs the city
something over two thousand dot
lars in Philip, but the equipment
is badly needed, and will pay for
itself the first fire that It's use
averts.
The fire department has always
done valiant work, but there come
times when it is almost impossible
to mve the chemical engines and
hose carts by hand through the,
mud. The mutor driven truck will
save many a hard pull up the hill
and elsewhere and will enable the
department to reach many fires
before they gain much headway. 1t
will also be possible to reach and
protect some of our neighbors who
may reside just beyond the corpor-
ate limits. Altogether, we believe
this a very wise expenditure Of the
peoples money, and the city faith
ers are to be commended for their
foresight in the matter.

COMMUNITY FAIR AT NOWLIN

Nowlin is getting in the game
and having 4 fling on her own ac-
count. There will be a community
fair at that place on August 3Oth
and if we may judge from the adj
vertising that the committee is
putting out9the affair should be a
hummer. Prizes are being offered
for 4 general line Of farm and
ranch products and there will be
sports and excitement Of that sort
a plenty. One Of the professors
from the State College will be pre-
sent to do the judging and will
give talks on western farm prob
lens. This in itself should justify
a asl0ng trip to attend Nowlin's
Community Fair. This is not the
first time Nowlin has tried this
sort Of thing, and she scored un-
qualified success iu her former eff
forts. The fair is IN sense q
booster for our county fair to be
held here the following week, and
should receive the support Of Phi
lin people and everyone for that

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE NEW FIRMS

aagEa est .aauFa s VI laEu.u. .sH
When I3g firms and corporations
open Up new businesses in a city Ia one
years time there must be more than a
reason. YET according 20 records en-
ne Office Of Mark Fenton, Industrial
commissioner for the Chamber Of Com
merca this number Of business enter
prises were launched In Memphis in
1919.
Again: There must be more than a
reason. There Is.
Commercial expansion Of the varied
character and extent Of that enjoyed by
this city in the last - months certainly
Is not the result Of any sporadic activi-
~ or sudden boom. Boom business
flares Up suddenly and as suddenly sub
sides. and the records show that the
number Of new concerns opening IN for
business during the first six months Of
1919 were So. or Just a triile less than
half OF the years total
What Is the answer
The answer Is found In the fact that
largely through the activities Of the
Chamber OF Commerce. through It's in
dustrial commissioner, the outside busy
world has at last been brought face to
face with the realization that the Dixie
oasis in the Mississippi valley Is a COM
mercial Mecca that has long been over
