 The existence of these oil deposits in the Bar region been known for but only during the winter and has there been any effort on the part of either individuals corporations to investigate the field Last summers investigations were of such promising character that Nome is preparing for an oil stampede that will equal the great gold rush of 1900 when 900 people to this section of Alaska in arch of the yellow metal This time the rush will be for Liquid Mions"!

ONE RoBBER IS KILLED
Officers Fight With Men Who LOoted
 Broken Bow Bank.

The Idabel News of February 2s, says:
 "The latest report in regard to the Broken Bow Bank robbery states that the older of the two men who parti- cipated in the robbery was killed near Okesa late Saturday.
 ''The sheriff of Osage county with his force were waiting at Okesa for the robbers arrival and took them by surprise. A battle followed in which a deputy and Silas Meigs, an Indian, the oldest of the two robbers, were killed. Meigs escaped from the peni- tentiary last July, where he was serv- ing q 19-year sentence. He had a money bag from the McCurtain county bank of Broken Bow in his pocket.
 "The other robber, Al Spencer, who has so far made good his escape, was serving a ten-year sentence in the penitentiary when he escaped in Jaauary. Spencer is thought to be still in Osage county and will prob- ably be captured"

KANSAS IN GRIP OF WILD BLIZZARD
Worst Storm of Winter Sweeps the State With Mercury at Zero Deep Snow, Especially in
 the South.

Topeka, Feb. 28.-Kansas is in the grip of blizzard tonight, the worst of the winter. Reports from every section of the state show snow is fall ing.
 Apparently, the southern part of the state is getting the heaviest white blanket, Wichita reporting six inches of snow late in the day, with the fall continuing, while from Ober- lin, in Decatur county, high up in the northwestern section, only about an inch had fallen during the day.
 In most places high wind is bling the snow in deep drifts, at some points threatening to sweep the wheat fields clean.
 Ushered in with a northerly gale and a drop in temperature that came with almost lightning like sudden ness, the storm, which began late last night, has shown no signs of abate- ment in the early hours of the night
 Bitter cold is accompanying the snow. At Kinsley, in the southwest ern part, a zero temperature IS men, acing stock in the open. Five to ten below is expected in western Kansas by morning.
 So far, reports indicate train serv- ice has not been blocked, but has sui fered greatly. Many country roads are said to be blocked by drifts.

Hanford MacNider, Commander of American Legion, Would See They Are Not Penalized for Offering
 Lives to Country.

Chicago, Feb. 22-Hanford Mac Nider, national commander of the American Legion, in an address before the Union League Club here today, said the immediate problems before the country and the American Legion were those of seeing that the man who came back from the war, blind, maimed and broken in health, "get a square deal' and to see that those who served be not "penalized econ omically for offering their lives to their country in dangerous days"
 "On this day every American who loves his country and respects it's privileges of citizenship honcrs the memory of the founder of this re- public" he said. "The men and wom- en of the American Legion draw re- newed inspiration from his memory to carry on cur work and to serve in peace as well as in war, as conservs- tive eitizens."

STATES WON'T FIX
 PASSENGER RATES
Supreme Court Rules That .ee::: merce Does Not Regard State Lines" Upholds Woman's Suffrage in
 Challenge From Maryland.

Washington, Feb. 28.-Declaring that commerce is unit and does not regard state lines," the supreme court today, thru Chief Justice Taft, and without dissent, handed down deci- sion upholding the authority of the in- terstate commerce commission, under the transportation act of 1920 to fix state railroad passenger fares when necessary to remove undue, unreas- enable and unjust discrimination against interstate commerce."
 Two cases were presented to the court. One was brought by the rail- road commission of Wisconsin and others against the Chicago, Burling- ton and Quincy railway, seeking an injunction to prevent the roads of the state from putting in effect passen- ger traffic rate of 3.6 cents per mile allowed by the government on inter- state travel. The other was brought by the state of New York against the federal government, the interstate commerce commission and certain railroads of that state on the ground that the three cent fare fixed by the public utility commission produced reasonable returns to the railroads upon their state traffic. In both states freight rates had been ad- vanced to the interstate level without objection from the states.
 Congress in it's control of it's in- terstate commerce system is seeking in the transportation act to make the system adequate to the needs of the country by securing for it reason able compensatory return for all the work it does" the chief justice stated in the opinion.
 "The states are seeking to use that same system for interstate traffic. That entails large duties and expendi- lures on the interstate commerce sys- tenn which may burden it unless com pensation is received for the inter- state business reasonably proportion ate to that for the interstate business. Congress as the dominant controller of interstate commerce may, there fore, restrain undue limitation of the earning power of the interstate com merce system in doing state work.

LIKE THE DAYS OF CARS MIGHT
Red Army, in Powerful Array, Cele- brates Birth-Passing Before Trotz- ky, Armed Host of Soviet Is Led
 by Former Imperial Officers.

Moscow, Feb. 23.-Soviet Russia today celebrated the fourth anniver- sary of the creation of the red army. Leon Trotzky, the war minister, in the red square of the Kremlin, reviewed the Moscow garrison in what was pobably the largest review since the days of the emperor.
 For two hours infantry, lancers, Cossacks, gunners, engineers, motor corps, tanks and airplanes passed in the bright sunshine. The men ap- peared to be ill good condition, were well uniformed, and saluted in snappy fashion as they filed past the stand. A little more precision in alignment, gayer uniforms, better horses and older soldiers, and they might have been the regiments of the old guard passing before Emperor Nicholas. On the other hand, they were as different from the tattered, undisciplined red army of 1918 as the Concord farmers of 1776 were from General Pershing's picked battalion.
 Old Imperial Officers in Van.
 Near the reviewing stand were 
 liam D. Haywood of the American 1. W. w.; Katayama, the Japanese so- cialist leader; Bella Kun, and mem- bers of the third internationale.
 The predominance of communists among the spectators was the only reminder that it was not a pre-war spectacle. The illusion that it might have been the old Russian army com ing back to life was heightened by the predominance of old regime off cers at the heads of companies and the little group of staff men about Trotzky, many of them bearded gen erals and colonels of many years service.
 Trotzky wore a gray overcoat of military cut. Plump and smiling he stood sharply at salute and reviewed the passing soldiers like general.
 Stronger Within Year
 within a year the army will be stronger and more united" he told the troops. "We do not know what will come in the next few months, but events will not find us unprepared Looking west, east, north and south we find the danger is not past because power in the capitalistic countries is still in the hands of our enemeis, who hate us, and have not abandoned the idea of crushing us."
 He. promised that the year would be one of education for the army; that not a single soldier would be it. literate by the first of May, when, according to an article by the war minister, which appeared recently in the Pravda, every soldier must take the fred oath" of allegiance to Rus sia.
 J. Carr, who represented the Amer ican communists at the all-Russan communist conference here recently apologized for the actions of Ameri- cans on the .Murmansk and Archangel fronts. If they ever were ordered to fight Russian again, he said, the Americans would fight their own government instead.
