First Oil Well TO Be Spudded In
ORIGINAL LOCATION
GARDEN Of EDEN

That Powder River county is the
original location of the Garden of
Eden is the assertion made by the
Examiner this week. The paper
bases its conclusions from material
and theoretical reasons.
Growing within the countys area
are direct descendants of massive
prehistoric trees that attained a
height of 100 or more feet, now
dwarfed to miniture size of four or
five feet in heighth and known as
tulles or bunch grass. These .tulles
are slender. woody shoots, almot
entirely devoid of foliage and with
out blossoms. They are brownish in
appearance and contain little if any
|nourishment for cattle feed.
There have been unearthd in this
vicinity massive bones of mastadons
or dinasaur that roamed the country
when all was wilderness and limo
types and printing presses were un.
known to disseminate imaginative
efforts of modern writer's.
The several vast stratas of coal de.
posits underlying the entire country
must have had their inception frorl
dense and gigantic forests and trop.
ical vegitation.
The gas that escapes from arta.
sian wells in the vicinity of MOor-
head probably owes its origin tc
some prehistoric tropical condition
The abundance Of marine relics in.
dicate that the country was not arid
The surface deposits of volcanic
lava shows period of history that
turned things upside down and re-
versed conditions, giving us now one
of the greatet cattle growing coun
tries in the west ana a soil unequalet
anywhere for growing crops.

man, president of the Federation
for the Support of Jewish Philan-
thropic Societies announced this
week that that organization will
appropriate $2,738,25O this year
to it's ninety affiliated social serv-
ice institutions. This sum, he
said, was 100000 less than the
total requests made by the insti-
tutions but it is larger than any
sum ever before distributed
among these institutions. The
federation receives it's funds in
annual subscriptions and dona-
tons from $4,000 contributors.
Before the organization of the
federation the largest sum ever
raised by these societies as in
.dividua1s was $1,500,0O0.
OF the $2,738,25O, $267, 1896
goes for hospital work in the
