W. l.. larkin of Tulsa, with the
Baker-Strawn interests, was an Ard.
more business visitor Monday. Mr..
Iarkin believes that the next excite
ment in Oklahoma oil circles will he
at Bristow. He attributes his state
ment TO the fact that wells producing
and drilling on both sides of the town
warrant the prediction that within Il
year the population of Bristow will
grow from its present status of 600o
TO $1,000. At the present time, he
states, due 10 recent discoveries there
are ten wells drilling and four wells
/ producing two miles east of town,
/ with the production of those already
brought in ranging from minimum
of 500 barrels oaily to 800 barrels The
gravity Of the oil is 3132, with the
top OF the sand at about 2470 feet.
| Three miles west of Bristow, he says,
there is a well just brought in which
IS producing 800 barrels from sand al
a depth of about 2500.50 feet
The companies now operating in
the area include the Continental Oil
and Refining Company which opened
/ the pool east of town. the Wilcox
oil Company which owns the producer
west of Bristow; the Bradstreet Oil
Company: Gypsy Oil Company and
others. The oil pool has just recently
been uncovered, states Mr.. Larkin
although the acreage has been solidly
blocked for more than three years
Heretofore production for a period OF
10 years was confined to gas east and
southeast OF the town, the drills STOP

be q stiff battle staged between Bris
tow and Sapulpa as TO the location
OF the county seat OF Creek county IL
which both towns are located. Prioi
to this time there have been several
fights staged, with Sapulpa, with
population of about $4,000 winning out
and retaining the honor. However, il

A BIG BUSINESS TANGLE.

Some conception of the task before
Chairman Lasker of the shipping
board may be gained when it is real
lied that there are about 900 law
suits pending against the board, in
volving S50,0O0,OOO. Nine hundred
are claims pending before the claim
department of the board, involving
between S5O,OOOOOOO and S1OO.OO0,-
900, and some /, ZOO admiralty cases
are awaiting determination. Nobody
knows where the records of all those
cases are, who the claimants may be,
or what the amounts are that are
claimed. The suits involve hundreds
Of million dollars of the peoples mon
ey. yet the interests of the govern
ment have been in charge of young
lawyers employed at ridiculously low
ealaries, who are compelled to meet
the highest paid | egal experts in the
country. Chairman Lasker has an
nounced that he will seek authority
TO employ really big men to get the
Government out of the biggest bust
ness tangle and financial wreck that
the world has ever known.

TO STRIKE OR NOT TO STRIKE.

Strike ballot have been sent to
all members of every railroad union
asking them if they would accept
the II per cent wage reduction order
ed by the railroad labor board. It Isl
the belief of the union chiefs that the
men will vote against the decrease.
The referendum is equivalent to
vote as to whether or not our trans
portatiOn system shall continue to op-
crate. Two million men, who happen
to be employed on the railroads, un-
dertake to determine whether 10O,-
100000 of their fellow citizens shall
continuesto be supplied with food and
fuel. Of course they will not vote
to strike unless they thought their
strike would be effective, and to be
effective it would have to bring mis-
cry and suffering to the country.
Such sublime arrogance it would be
difficult to duplicate. Let the mem
bers of the brotherhoods strike if
they think such action will increase
their standing in the community.
They will find that the railroads will
operate just the same, even though
there may be temporary Interruptions
and that the net result Of their de-
monstration will be to bring denun-
citation upon their own heads.

SEA POWER MAKES HISTORY.

A prominent periodical remarks
that the three great nations, the
United States, Great Britain and Jap
an, are so situated geographically
that their fleets are incapable of at
tacking each other. That is to say.
because of the distance an attacking
fleet would have to go, the fuel and
ammunition problem would be pro-
hibitive. In one sense that is so. but
in practice such would not always
be the case. If Japan chose to make
war upon the United States, she
would not send her fleet across the
Pacific; she would sent it to the Phil
ippines, take the islands, and then
sit back on the defensive while the
United States entered upon the al
most impossible task of retaking the
possessions. Moreover, if the United
States desires to attack Great Brit
ain, which of course is inconceivable.
we would not send a fleet across the
Atlantic, we would take possession
OF nearby British territory and sit
back on the defensive while Great
Britain sought to regain the property
taken. Great Britain could not well
pursue such a plan of attack against
the United States, neither would the
plan work to the advantage of the
United States in case Of a desire to
take the aggressive against Jaran.
A study Of the situation overturns
the theory that none of the three
great nations could conduct an ag-
gressnve naval warfare. Invasion of
any one of the nations by another,
or the blockading of her ports. is
manifestly out of the question. but
an aggressive naval warfare is never
theless practicable, and such would
be the means by which war would
be settled. If German had sue
ceeded in her submarine plans, hers
would have been the victory.

AS YOU WOULD BE DONE BY

A farmer may the better under
stand one Of the controversies that
has risen between the railroads and
the railroad administration if he will
consider the principles involved as
they would affect him. Suppose, for
instance, that a farmer loaned a l.
500 pound horse to his neighbor at a
certain wage per day, with the agree
ment that the horse be kept up to
his normal weight. When the horse
Is returned, he is 10 pounds under
weight, which will require of the
o-rner a lot Of feeding to get the
borse back to normal working condi-
ton. If the owner protests, will it
De a sufficient answer for the bor-
rover to say: after l took your
horse, the price of feed went up, and
I srent as much money for feed as
would have been necessary to keep
him in good flesh at normal prices"
No horse owner would accept that
kind Of an answer. He would insist
shat the borrower supply enough ad-
3.lional feed to bring the horse up
30 normal. That is what the railroad
owners ask Of the government.

reconstruction work will be commence

damage done and the extent of re-

can Legion convention in Lewistown
last week report that considerable
good was accomplished this year. The
keynote of the convention was aid
for the disabled veterans. A ma
tiOnal guard was endorsed, and an
other effort will be made to estab-
lish company in Gallatin county, the
home Of Company A Of the old Sec
ond Montana. The only important
change in the constitution was the
one giving permission to the execu-
tive committee to set the date for the
state convention each year. Other
minor changes were made to have the
constitution conform to the national
order.
Kalispell was chosen as the loca-
ton for the state convention next
year. Tom Busha of Big Timber,
former state war risk insurance offl-
Ger, was elected state commander. G.
G. Lamport of Forsyth was elected
vice commander; Joseph j. Davey of
Townsend, finance officer; E. Y.

NOT THEIR KIND.

The socialist national convention at
Detroit had a thrce-hour fight as TO
whether they should include "dicta-
torship by the proletariat" as q part
of the socialist doctrine. 1t ended
in defeat. The leaders of socialism
have no great liking for dictation by
the working class than by the So
called capitalist class. They want to
do their own debating.
