AN OPEN SHOP

The labor unions of Chicago have
purchased a cemetery, where only men,
bers of the union may be buried. -News
item.
All his life in union shop
He'd daily earned his bread;
They buried him in a union grave
When the union man was dead.
He had a union doctor,
And he had a union nurse;
He had a union coffin.
And he had a union hearse.
They put him IN a union grave
When he was good and dead;
They put a union monument
Just above his head.
And then he went to heaven,
But to stay he didn't care:
He kicked because he said that on
Non-union men were there.
He went down to the other place.
And there produced his card,
Then Satan drew an earnest face
And studied good and hard.
And then he laughed, his hands did rub,
Till he thought he'd never stop,
Lord bless my soul, said Beelzebub,
why this is an open shop".

HLIPAH BASIN OIL COMPANY
MAY SOON RESUME DRILLING

Following the arrival and publica-
tion of Christian Vrangs report on
the Illipah oilfield, C. II. Bent has
written Mr.. yrang for his opinion as
To the oil prospects of some of the
individual locations at Illipah from
an oil-producing standpoint. 1t will
be recalled that the Nrang report
dealt with the field as a whole and
did not consider in any way the ad-
yantages of one company over an
other as TO whether or not such COM
panies had holdings on the ground
that was considered favorable for oil
from a geological analysis.
Mr.. Bent is SECRETARY of the Illi-
pah Basin Oil and Gas Com
pany, the pioneer company TO start
drilling at Illipah This company
abandoned drilling after sinking a
hole to considerable depth. finally
losing a bit in the hole. Since drill
ing was stopped the company has
been reorganized. but for various rea-
sons nothing further has been done
toward a resumption of drilling. How
ever IL is not the intention of the
present management to remain dor

Oil and Gas Company to again begin
a campaign OF development and start
the drilling OF another hole. II was
relative to the location of this COM
lany that Mr.. Bent communicated
with Mr. Vrang and the latter's reply
indicates that the Illipah Basin Oil
and Gas Company is, in the judgment
of Mr.. Vrang, we'll situated. In his
letter to Mr.. Bent, Mr.. Vrang says:
If il is contemplated to drill on
the eastern side of the basin ! would
suggest locating a hole on the north
east corner of section So, township
Il north, range SIS east, and up on
The side of the ridge as far as prac-
ticable to set up. do not deny op-
portunities of the eastern side. how
ever, but do believe an effort should
be made first to test the territory as
recommended in my report (on Illi-
pah creek, just east OF the fault in
section s, township II north. range
SO east. because this region offers
better opportunities than any other
in the basin.
One logical conclusion from the re-
port OF Geologist Vrang is that If eX-
pert opinion had been secured and
acted upon in the beginning OF oper-
ations a lot of time and money might
have been saved and the Illipah field
might now be proven proposition.
