OIL DRILLING OUTFIT HAS
ARRIVED

A car load of oil drilling material
such as boiler, engine, drill bits, ca
BILE, etc, arrived in Collyer Tuesday
forenoon for G. r. Pollen, OF Wichita,
who has the contract for drilling the
well for the oil promoters who have
been working in this vicinity for the
last several months The material is
to be unloaded at once and taken to
the well location where it will be got
ten into place as soon as possible.
The derrick is already erected on
land belonging to John Walsh six
miles straight north of Collyer-
Mr. Pollen was here for the first
time the first of the week and thor
oughly inspected the formations and
location In a conversation with the
writer he showed great deal of en-
thusiasm over the prospects as judged
from surface Indications. He is an
experienced driller and knows the oil
business as well as any of them. He
says that if there is not oil under the
section of land selected for the first
test, that the indications are the big
gest farce ever discovered. The flow
may not be struck by the first hole
and it may require two or three holes
to thoroughly try out the field but
but Mr.. Pollen is confident the oil is
there. His opinion is the same as that
expressed by all other oil men who
have visited the field and the same
as that expressed by the state geoIo-
gist.
An oil field here will be a great ad-
vantage to CoIlyer and Trego county
and our citizens should give the pro-
motors every encouragement possible
| with view of hurrying matters
along. There is but one way to tel
whether there is oil or gas in this
country and that way is to go dowI
after it where the surface indications
are right This is going to be done
| but it will take several weeks to drill
| the well.
i The name of the firm which is do
ing the work on the well has bee1
changed from CardwelI, Root, For
aker & StockdaIe associates, to C. r
Pollen Associates and is composed 8
| Mr.. Pollen, Mr.. Cardwe1 and Mr. For
aker- These gentlemen are all her.
and are at Collyer today unloading th
material and hauling it to the Ioca
ton These are all hustling youn,
men and will push the preliminar,
work along rapidly as possible. I
will be interesting to watch the de
velopments and it is probable tha
other companies will be attracte
to this territory. However, there wi
not be many leases which can be Sc
cured as practically the entire count
in which the anticline is located is un
der the lease of the Trego County o:
& Gas Co., under which the Pollen as
sociates are working.

Mrs. Morosco, whose home is
given as Los Angeles, Cal. alkged

a total of $4,000 she loaned him.
The reason the debt has not been
paid and the final undertakings of
Morosco have not met with greater
success. Mrs. Morosco charges, is
that the theatrical magnate has
been spending his money on other
women.

By JOHN HEARLEY.

Nitti's days as premier of Italy
are apparently numbered. Press
dispatches from Rome carry this
information between the lines. e
The NeapoIitan statesman can not
continue in power without the sup
port of the Catholic deputies. These
are charging him with jilting their
party for the extreme Socialists.
Nitti is now trying to reach a
very doubtful agreement with the
Catholic parliamentarians. without

Turati is a wealthy Milancse. a
moderate. and an anti -Bolshevik So
cialist. He was long ago offered q
portfolio in the Nitti cabinet, bur
refused it. allegedly with an eye to
the future.
Italy's premier has undoubtedly
been see-sawing with the radica I
Socialist Deputies and the Catholic
Deputies. Belonging to neither
group, he has been forced TO curry
favor with both for the execution
of his governmental policy.
Nittfs recent appointment of a
Socialist as Minister of War, al
though clever Nittian politics,
rubbed the Catholics the wrong
way. His alleged dilly-daIlying and
compromising with the Socialist
strikers in northern Italy and the
Bolshevik propaganda among the
Catholic peasantry have infiamed

Geneva, May s.-A new repub-

the Ukraine as soon as the Bolshe-
visits are driven out. your corre-
spondent is informed. Gen. Pet
lura's cabinet will include a Polish
member for the administration of
certain Ukrainian districts in which
the population is largely Polish.
"Poland's action is not tainted by
imperialistic ambitions" is the
statement of Polish diplomat
here.
The Polish army is fighting to
free the Ukrainian people from
Bolshevist terror and oppression.
Before Gen. Pusudski issued orders
to his troops to advance an agree
ment was concluded, between the
Warsaw government and Gen. Pet
lura, recognizing and guaranteeing
the independence of Ukraine.
Land for Poland.
No definite arrang has yet
been made regarding those parts of
Volhynia, Podolia and the Cholm
territory, chiefly inhabited by Poles
but it is possible they will be ceded
to Poland.
Even in that case 1000, 900 Poles
would remain in Ukrainian terri
tory. Their national interests will
be safeguarded by tho appointment
of a special Polish minister in the
Ukrainian cabinet. The fact that
the Poles are willing to let 50 many
of their countrymen remain under
Ukrainian rule should suffice to re-
1ute the stories OF 'POl1Sn Imperial
ism,' assiduously circulated in West
ern countries by Bolshevist sympa-
thizers who are filled with dismay
and disappointment by the defeat of
the red army.

Far from representing an inn

If Poland succeeds in liberating

Even ultimate regeneration of Rus

by the allies was that they then at
