NEED MORE LEASES
Oil Men Must Have 5000 Acres
Or Drop Project.

After a two weeks lull, activity
of the Caldwell Oil company in
securing leases on Rathdrum
prairie was revived this week. The
lull seems to have been caused by
wrong impression on the part OF
the farmers, believing that the
company was signing up more
land than was needed.
E. T. Caldwell came in Monday
with A. d. Lathrop, head auditor
of the company, armed with testi-
monials from banks and business
firms of Greybull, Wyo., attesting
to the good standing and financial
reliability of the men who are en-
gagged in securing the leases and
! thus preparing to spend a large
sum OF money in drilling
$500 foot we'll on the prairie IN
search OF oil or gas. Mr.. Lathrop
says the company, under its rules
based on years Of experience. viii
not permit the expenditure OF -
an acre necessary in laying down
the equipment and putting down
we'll without first protecting IT,
self. and for this reason the
financial hackers require the leas.
ing of between 5000 and 1000 acres
before "spudding in" The initial
cost will be s56,o to get the
equipment on the ground and put
down a we'll.
Up. TO last week only $500 acres
had been leased.
These oil leases, as previously
announced, do not interfere with
the ownership, transfer or farming
OF the land. The company takes
the chance OF putting down well
and if oil is found, the owner o
the land, without any cost to him
gets a percentage Of the value 0
| the oil in cash. If oil is not found
: the owner of the land may have
water well if lie pays for the casing

Why Birmingham Is
 Interested in Ships

e7HWO thousand tons of canned goods U from the Pacific coast have ar- rived at Mobile via the Panama canal. Much of this will come to Birming- ham wholesalers.
 Birmingham is thus brought into still closer connection with the Pacific coast, our iron and steel products al- ready moving there in quantities.
 Birmingham is glad to know that it has ships as we'll as rails to serve it and that it is well situated for both. It has no predilection for ships. It, however, recognizes that great portion of the earth's surface consists of water and that water and ships constitute an admirable vehicle for commerce.
 Birmingham welcomes the ships for themselves and because it's use of waterways entities it to consideration in rate making. It has become enti- tied to water rates as well as to fair treatment as an important inland city.

Birmingham Preparing for the Next Spurt

7HHE development record of the dis trict during the first five months of the year makes an excellent show ing. At a period when the pace of manufacture and commerce allowed time for thought and planning for the future, men of Birmingham have done it.
 Capital invested in new and going concerns of the district in the first five months of the year is more than $8,500,000, which is at the rate of $20,- 100000 per annum. If the rate is maintained through the remaining months 1921 will establish new high record.
 The 1920 investment in corporate enterprises was $16,O00,0Oo, which was almost three times that of either of the two preceding years, and more than twice that of these two years put together. This year had a fast pace set for it, but it seems able to maintain it and even go ahead,
 Better than money going into new and untried concerns, is the capital that has been placed in successful op- erations, such as the waterworks, the two building and loan associations, pipe works and the like.
 When a successful enterprise adds to its capital stock, it is because it has grown out of its swaddling clothes, it's market territory has ex- banded and there is greater demand for it's goods. That, in turn, means that the district has developed as a manufacturing and distributing point
 Birmingham's industrial plants are in prime physical form and ready for the word ''go." Many new records of production and market conquests will be made.

AN ARABIAN NIGHTCAP.

 Scheherazade, daughter of the grand vizier. was relating to the Sultan the first of her stories. As she talked. she watched his supreme highness out of the corner of her eye.

 The Sultan nodded.

 The Sultan dozed

 The Sultan slumbered.

 The Sultan snored gently. He was good for 12 solid hours. without budg- ing an inch. Soheherazade laughed silently.

enough money to live on in a way com porting with your dignity, and I will ask in return that you relieve me of the embarrassment of having you compete with anyone in any gainful calling?"
 From time to time the question of pensioning former Presidents is dis cussed, but there are excellent req sons why it should not be done. In the first place it is unnecessary. The salary is $75,000 a year and perqui- sites may amount to $200,0OO more. Most Presidents, as MT. Barry con cedes, have been able to save enough to live on after they returned to pri- vate life.
 We are still democratic people and we do not take kindly to the idea that man who has been elevated to the presidency is too far above his fellow citizens to earn his own liv- ing. Transforming ex-Presidents would not add "a bulwark to the integrity of the most sovereign office on earth" It would be reversion to the Euro pean plan of supporting the scions of royalty in idleness.
 It is neither embarrassing to the American people nor degrading to a former President to work, if he cares to do so. On the contrary, it is a fine illustration of our democratic in stitutions. The spectacle of an ex- President writing, featuring, practic- ing law or engaged in any other call ing by no means lessens the respect and esteem in which he is held. On the contrary, it shows him to be, not a retired monarch, but retired public servant, who receives the honor due him, but is nevertheless one of the people.
