PROSPECTS FOR OIL BRIGHT

Some newspaper friends, up ant
down the line, have been pokins
fun at the Pioneer-Review, because
it is trying each week to keep its
readers informed of all up-to-date
oil developments in Western South
Dakota. Our critics seem to think
we are merely dreaming. Oh, well
we shall continue to dream yet
awhile. One of these days gushei
will come in with a splash and
then Brother johnson of tho
Quinn Courant and few others
that we could name will wake up
rub the oil out of their very eyes
and realize that they are the ones
who have been Sleeping.
Ten years ago Wyoming was buz-
zing with the possibilities of oil,
but at that time it was only specu-
lation. Test wells were being drill
led over the state, but SO far moth
ing of any importance was in evi-
dence. Then Salt Creek Well No.
/ was brought in near Caspar.
This well came in at 1000 barrels
per day and is producing that am
cunt to this day. Shortly after
bringing in the Salt Creek Well
the Big Muddy field produced its
first great well.
This was the beginning of the
development of the Wyoming fields
It was here that the solid business
man became interested and in the
next few years through the COM
bination of brains and money Wy
ominig was brought to the front
as one Of the greatest oil states.
in the union. Millions have been
made out Of the Wyoming fields,
in many cases the small investor
who was willing to take chance
with a few hundred dollars was
the one to receive the greatest re
ward.
At the present time wells are
being drilled or preparations are
being made for drilling at Fort
Pierre, Faith, Hermosa, Piedmont,
Sturgfs, Belle Frouche, Edgemont,
Wall Scenic and Rapid City. In a
few Of these places showings of
oil have been reported and as the
wells are being drilled out a very
strong conviction is entertained by
many that oil will be- found.
Many geologists have been over
the western part of the state and
all agree that at some time South
Dakota will prove to be rich oil
field. One geologist of national re-
putation stated a few months ago
that South Dakota would now be
proven field if one-tenth Of the
money spent outside of the state
had been spent at home.
A few years ago a few Rapid
City business men employed geo.
'ogist who was at that time work
ing in the Texas fields, to come
to Rapid City and make geolo-
gilcal survey of the entire west
ern part Of the state.
This expert spent three months
in working over the territory west
IF the Missouri river and he finally
declared that the most perfect
structure lay three miles north
west of Rapid City. He said that
if this structure was in Wyoming
that it would be a 10 to one shot
that oil would be found, but mas
much as South. Dakota was not a
proven field, he could only say that
it was an excellent structure and
that the great fields now produc-
ing near Caspar carried no greater
promise for oil before drilling op-
srations were begun.

And a splendid thrill when my grip
And small-mouthed bass is mine,
But my soul seems crampcd in the

That IS heavy with talk Of gain,

Labor Shortage Hampers Hawaii.

Ten million dollars and more. ac-
cording TO official statistics. has been
spent by the industries Of Hawaii in
importing labor during the past two
decades, and to-day those industries
are under a heavier handicap Of labor
shortage than ever before in their
history.
The Chinese exclusion act and the
Gentlcmcn'S agreement with JaDan
have shut off both those countries,
but despite this, frequent recommen-
dations have been made that Con-
grcsS take into consideration the pc
culiarly isolated position Of Hawaii
and let down the bars. Fresh at
tempts along this line have recently
been made.

the average must be judged by the

Excel in Landscapes
In landscape painting America is
unrlvalled, Mr.. Foulke said, but added
that he did not believe that landscape
painting was the highest achievement
in painting. The portrayal of human
sympathy needs to be combined with
the landscape painting for perfection.
he said
Reviewing briefly the three great
schools. the Italian, Dutch and Span
ish, Mr.. Foulke emphasized the fact
that the technical art of Netherlands
and Spain has been exceptionally high
but that the Italians through their
great inspiration and fervor of feeling
coupled with the portrayal of real
beauty surpass all others in painting.
Modern painting" the speaker as
serted. has not reached the limits of
the Renaissance after the Middle
Ages and he attributed the fact to
the lack Of religious feeling in hu.
mainly OF the present time, calling at.
tention to the fact that the great mas
