HAAKON COUNTY TYPES
(The Nimr0d)

Behold the mighty hunter. He
arises while the dew is yet upon
the barbed-wire fences and goes
forth to slay his game. In the
twilight he threshes around in the
pantry looking for shotgun shells,
knocking down pans, and disturb
ing the whole household. But in
due time he gathers together his
guns, his ammunition, and his hunt
ing jacket from the places where
his wife has hid them, and with
rumbling that sounds like pray
er mixed with malediction, finds
his way to the automobile.
With a snort he is off. There is
only flash and the smell Of gaso-
line as he goes over Braddock' S
Hill, sailing due north. There is
nothing that moves quite as swift
Iy as chicken hunter on a Sep
tember morning bound for the
corn-helds.
All udy long he tIdiHps OVeI IJId
rie and through fields. 1t would be
hazardous to guess how far he
walks through mud and thistles.
Sometimes it rains, sometimes the
wind blows a gale; it is all the
same to the hunter. He goes on
through all kinds of weather like
answering Destiny. Though he
carries a gun and half a bushel
of heavy shells, these are no bur-
dens; for his heart is light, and
hope leads him ever on. His ear
The pioneer-review. [volume] (Philip, Haakon County, S.D.) 1920-current, 1921-09-22

is nicely tuned for the whir of
wings and the cackle Of chickens
as they rise out of the corn.
When a covey does get up, he
breaks forth like half Of an ar
tillcry duel. Our hunter is care
full man, and a good shot, but it
may be just as we'll for you and
the farmers COW, if you are both
out of range.
We are sorry to say that the
hunter is not always an object of
love and affection. Hardly ever is
he welcomed by the farmer with
open arms. AT the present moment
the farmers in one community are
banded together and say that the
hunters must keep off their lands
altogether. They say he leaves
their gates oren, and that the cat
tie and horses get out and wander
away. Occasionally a hunter is in
formed Of these things by a far
mer, who appears unexpectedly in
the midst of corn-field. This is
always an embarrassing moment,
and we have noticed that the far
Iler does all the talking. The hunt
er has nothing to say. He can
think of no good argument with
which to answer the farmers rea-
soning. So he doesn't argue the
natter at all. He gets out and goes
on to another corn field, cursing
the other fellow for leaving the
gates open. Our friend is a mighty
hunter, but not strong on argu-
ment, especially with an angry
farmer.

HARD TIMES HITS

The hard times are bearing down
upon the Woman's club. Their en-

refreshment program, Heretofore
abundant refreshments have been
provided by the hostess at every
meeting of the club. The good
feeding thus enjoyed by the men,
bers and a few favored husbands
has become celebrated. But this
coming year, refreshments will be
provided at only four of the more
important meetings of the year.
1t is believed that this will encour-
age the palmer living and the
higher thinking about which the
poet Wordsworth speaks.

OIL development
SOON NEAR POWELL
CHICAGO COMPANY GETS INTO
THE GAME ACTIVE OPERA
TIONS PROMISED FOR NEXT
SPRING.

The Organization Finance Com
pany Of Chicago is the latest com
pany to become interested in g
large way in oil developments in
Haakon county. During the sum
mer this concern has had gcolo-
gists looking over the territory in
the neighborhood Of Powell, and
at a meeting of the board of dir
ectors of the company short time
ago. it was decided to go ahead
with the development of the terri
tory surveyed and and to be sur
veyed by their geologist.
Local parties have been interest
ed for some time in the plans Of
the company. In a letter from the
Chicago concern to one of them.
Mr.. William Nuremberg, the plan
Of operations is definitely outlined.
The geologist is to designate in a
general way the territory to be
developed. The concern then asks
that leases covering fifty thousand
acres Of land within the selected
area be deposited in one of the
Philip banks, before November 1st.
With these leases the company
then deposits its contract where
by it agrees to have the necessary
equipment for starting we'll on
the ground before March 1st. In
the contract the company agrees
to complete at least three wells,
commencing the second and third
Immediately after the completion
of the first.
There are no strings to the leas-
es and no special form is required.
The only specification that the
company makes in that regard is
that the leases shall not provide
for more than the usual one-eighth
ROYALTY to the owner of the land.
This has been the fractional rent
awarded in nearly all the territor-
les in the United States during the
past twenty-five years, we believe.
A good deal of territory has al
ready been leased, but the promot-
ers are short of the fifty thousand
arces required. We have not gone
into the details Of the company's
plans, but they appear to be "on
the square" as the phrase goes.
They certainly are the first con-
cern of apparent ability that has
come forward with a definite pro-
posal to sink well in this immed-
late locality. There has been a
good deal of spasmodic leasing Of
land, and number Of local parties
are actively interested in that
phase of the matter, but they have
not yet succeeded, before this, in
interesting outside capital in the
oil possibilities of the Bad River
territory.
Attention is called to the fact
that the company desired that the
necessary leases be deposited be-
fore November 1st in order that
it may make the necessary arrang-
ments for early spring work. The
time allowed is none too long, and
if the project is to go through
parties in that locality desiring to
make leases should act promptly
and cooperate with the local rep
resentatives of the concern.

some of the men folks, it is be-
lieved. A prominent lawyef Of the
town and an equally prominent
doctor, together with possibly one
or two other hungry husbands,
have made it a practice to attend
upon the closing hour of club ses-
sions for several years past, ap-
parently to convey their women
folks home, but in reality to en-
joy the cake and ice cream left
over from the refreshment hour.
These gentlemen, it is feared, may
not be as regular. in their attend
ance in the future.

POTTER COUNTY
MEN TO DRILL IN
HAAKON COUNTY
WILL SINK SEVERAL WELLS
IN THE CHERRY CREEK SEC
TION.

For several months it has been
known in a general way that GER
tain Potter county men We're act
iveIy interested in the oil posi-
bilIties Of Haakon county, but they
have been reticent about then
plans, and no announcement has
been possible until the present
time. They have had biologists
and other Investigators on the
ground nearly all summer. MIR. Al
drich of Gettysburg and Mr.
Young of Midland, who is also as
sociated with others in the ven
ture, have made trips to Philip in
connection with the work of the
company. Ten days ago drilling
outfit was unloaded at Midland
and taken to the northwestern
corner of the county where it is
being set up at the !:.'csent time
This outfit is for preliminary
tests only, and will be followed is
a larger rig later OF We under
stand that it is expected to get
the work well started this fall, and
open up with vigor early in the
spring. Then, we understand, that
the company will open up an office
in Philip, and make this town its
local headquarters foc its opera
tions.

tain the following account Of the
plans of the company:

pany have been contracted with to

which Senator Peter Norbeck is in

and will probably remain there
while drilling operations are car

considerable interest by local peo-
pie who would be glad to see the

TOO MANY AND LESS
EFFECTIVE HURLERS
Former SpitbaII King Comments
on. Pitching of Today.
Clubs in Big Show Garry Too Many
TwirIers and They Do Not Re-
ceive Sufficient Work-Bats-
men DO Not Hit Harder.

Ed Walsh, once the spftbaIl king Of
the big leagues, now manager OF the
Oneonta IN. W semi-professionals,
found time to comment on the base
bali OF today in the big shows as it
strikes him. Along this line Walsh
said:
The pitchers of today are not as
effective as they were years ago. be
cause the clubs carry too many hurl-
ers and the curvers do not receive
sufficient work
1.-THE batsmen of today are no bet
ter than they were when was In the
big show, but are helped by new
pitching rules and the use of a livelier
ball.
Years ago in the major leagues"
continued Walsh, every pitcher
worked in his turn every four or five
days. AS a result they retained con-
troll. Now there are many pitchers
