 Mr. Flanders states that he has in- terested the Standard Oil Company White Brothers, and the Sincleair Co., in the field, and that they will begin to drill wells in the county as soon as a sufficient number of leases are ob- tained, and will spend as high as one million dollars to give it a thorough test, and sink large number of test wells. A geologist will be here in a short time and go over the field. MT. Flanders will endeavor to obtain the leases, but nothing can be done unless leases are obtained It is a wide open proposition and means real test.

Washington, JaE. 28.-Continuance Ot government control of the railroads fer at least two years, was asked Of President Wilson again today by re- Cresentatlves of farmers organiza- ton, the American Federation of La Dor and the four big brotherhoods, A large delegation, composed of many of the same persons who called at the White House last December r, went to the executive offices with a letter for the president.
 Sentiment in favor of government operation, the letter said, had increas- ed during the six weeks since the first request was made until we can accurately state that this is the pre- ponderance desire of the farmers and of organized labor forces of most of the states of the Union."
 The return of the roads, the letter declared would involve an increase in freight rates of 25 to 40 per cent since an additional revenue of close to billion dollars will be needed. J which would mean, it was added an increase ill the cost of living, as esti- mated by your director general of rail roads, of at least four billion dollars 2 year"
