ANiifllAN oIIIL OIL FIELDS DRIES
 UP IS REPORT
Prospecting for New Fields Must Now Be Encour-
 aged in Mexico.

BOSTON, Oct S.-Tne practical exhaustion of the Amatlan oil field in Mexico is probably one of the factors enabling the oil men to win out in their recent conference in Mexico City. It demonstrates that the American pioneer operators in tn Mexican oil fields must get back
 from their oil profits. not only a reasonable return for the enterprise, but the value of the wells, pipe lines and plants that have made the pro- duction.
 It demonstrates also that in the interests of Mexico and it's revenues, prospecting must be encouraged and increased rather than diminished~
 Some figures have been made by L, G. Huntley and Sterling Hunt1ey and are published in Mines and Metallurgy for September with dia- grams and maps.
 The figures are declared by other mining experts to be unworthy of consideration as the estimates are absurdly low and are believed to have ben largely obtained by studies In the now exhausting Amatlan field and in connection with the work fer the Island oil Company, which was largely in the Amatlan field.
 The Huntley estimates for the Cerro Anzul are much too low as the tract. comprises 52,O00 acres, around the perimeter of which oil has been found. The figures are very much at variance with the estimate of Dr. White and Doheny of 4,O0O.- 000.0O0 barrels reserve in the known oil fields of Mexico
 They state that the Cerro Azul- TOteco pool reaches considerably higher vertical elevation above the saltwater than those of the north, the Amatlan-Zacamix and the Te- petate-Chinampa pools, and that this poo! is estimated to contain a re- serve of 150 100000 barrels of oil. After the Chinampa pool was drained, several wells at the crest were able to strip substantial amounts of oil by pinching in the wells, and this is being done at Potrero and Alamo. It is expected the Amatlan field will also offer the same possibilities. Meanwhile the Panuco River fields to the north have not been delineated bN dry boles and continue to produce sub stantial amounts .o of oil, with the probability of increase in the future both in number and area.

1t may be interesting to the readers
of this series of articles to know that
Fairy Lake Resort, that popular
watering place for tourists and Sank
Centre pleasure seekers of today, was
at one time the site of the First Bap-
fist Church of the city of Kandota.
1t was here that the early settlers
of that dream city, built by the late
Edwin Whitefeld, first sought rellg-
ious consolation, and it was the work
commenced amid these scenes on
Fairy Lake which later lead to the
establishing of the First Baptist
church of Sank Centre.
All of this was the result OF the
labors of one John o. Milne, son OF a
Baptist minister of Bridgeport, Conn,
who in 1861 established himself on
a farm on the grounds OF the present
resort.
Mr.. Milne first came to Kandota in
the wear 1860 after listening to
lecture on minnesota and Its Many
Offerings" by Mr.. Whitefield at his
home town of Bridgeport. Shortly
after coming here, the war of the re-
bellion broke out, and Mr.. Milne en-
listed in the First Minnesota lntan-
try. This regiment was among the
veryp first to be sent into action, and
at the first battle of Bull Run, Milne |
was severely wounded. Soon after
his recovery, he was discharged from
the military service, and after a visit
to his old home in New England, he
returned to his farm on Fairy Lake.
Being a man of deep religious con-
victions, he took immediate steps to
advance the religious interests OF the
community, and this resulted in the
establishing Of the First Baptist
Church in taht locality.
When the church was first founded,

State Fair Will not Be

Decision of Board Follows Resolution
Passed by State Legislature
improvements Being Made

The Minnesota State Fair will not
be open to the public Sunday, Sept.
4, as a result of the action taken by
the fair board at its monthly meeting
last Friday.
The decision to close the State Fair
was prompted by the passage of a
resolution by the Legislature the last
day of the session requesting that the
Fair be closed on the Sabbath. Bills
introduced in both House and Senate
making it illegal for the Fair to OPP
crate on Sunday were killed in COM
mittee by nearly unanimous vote. A
resolution was introduced in appeal
from this action the last few hours of
the legislature, however, which car
ried by bare majority of the mem
bers present.
Details enforcing the closing of the
State Fair gates to the publis Sunday
remain to be worked out. All exhibit
buildings will be closed, and the gates
will be open only to concessionaires,
exhibitors of livestock and persons
actually participating in the putting
on of the Fair. There will be no en-
tertainment of any sort permitted.
The roller coaster, merry-go-rounds
and similar devices will be closed.
The sacred concerts which have been
feature of the Sunday programs for
years will become matter of his
tory.
It was decided by the board to put

Sank Centre---Its Traditions

By GEORGE D. WING

Mr.. and Mrs. Milne donated the use
of their home for the holding of the
church services. Under these condl-
tions services were held for many
months until finally, a little church
was built en- a piece of ground given
by Mr.. Milne to the congregation on
his site on the present Fairy Lake
Resort grounds.
Unfortunately, no records of the
original church business has been pre-
served. hut this church in 1878 was
removed to the city of Sank Centre.
The first pastor of this church IN
Sank Centre was the Rev. F.. b. Has
kell. and the first officers of the con-
gregation were L. C. West, deacon,
and f. w. Poore, clerk.
AS near as can be learned, the or
ipinal BAPTIST congregation IN this
congregation in this community was
composed of C. L. West, Mrs. L. }.

Mr.. Milne and family did not find
farming successful in their day on
Fairy Lake, and in the late seventies
the family removed from Sank Cen
tire to Duluth where Mr.. M''"H LATER
became interested in politl-- ana was
sent from that city to the state To-
lature. In later years he became

On Saturday, May Z, at the home
of his son, George Knobloch, near
New Munich, occurred the death of
John Knobloch, after an extended ILL
ness.
+ Mr.. Knobloch, who has been res
ident of Stealns county for many
years, was sc years old and was born
in Germany in 1885 and came to this
country at the age of "a years. In
1860 he was married to Miss Eliza
beth Hombeck, who died seven years
ago. The family had been living near
St. Joseph for many years until the
death of the mother after which time
the father made his home with his
son George near New Munich.
The funeral was held at st. Joseph
on Monday morning at 9 o'clock. The
pall-bearers were six grand-sons,

The Senate Committee report fur
Their brought out the fact that the
farmers of this state are not lending
the support to this institution which
it so richly deserves. AS matter of
fact it was learned that more ma
chimes are sold outside the state than
within it's borders. 1t would seem
that farmers in other states appre-
ciate good thing more than the far
mers of this, state, who were expect
ed to benefit. 1t was the opinion of
those conducting the investigation, if
the farmers of Minnesota would
make a greater effort to buy Mime
sofa machines, that the production
would naturally be increased and this
would bring about consequently
lower selling price to farmers.
Without giving the report in de-
tail it was felt by the Committee II
the proper support and cooperation
were furnished by the farmers of the
state and the Minnesota State Prison
could operate still more efficiently
and result in an even greater saving
10 the farmers of Minnesota.
