DYER MAKES MONEY IN OIL
Nephew Of Local Man Sells Lease for
$4,000

News Of the good fortune Of Will
Dyer, we'll known to many Oakes peo-
pie and a nephew Of our townsman,
]. A. Dyer, will be Of interest to our
readers. The Marshall County, s. D.,
Journal, published at Britton, has the
following to say concerning the lucky
strike made by the young man:
"Will Dyer, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. s.
n. Dyer, is one Of the most fortunate
young men. Of this locality. Some
years ago he felt the urge to Ego
west" and he went out to Montana,
where he filed on a half section Of
land. After proving up, the dry sea-
son came on and he came back to
Marshall county. Since that time the
oil boom has developed in that sec
ton and wells have been put down
near his land. An oil development
company paid him $4,000 for an oil
lease Of his land. They guarantee to
put down wells at once and pay a
forfeit Of several hundred dollars q
month If they do not, after six months
have elapsed. In case oil is struck, he
will receive one-eighth Of all oil taken
out. Oil experts state that there are
two oil domes on his property. Will
bids fair to become millionaire oil
man without investing in dollars
worth Of oil stock"

COUNTY CENTRAL
COMMITTEE DAY
Republicans and Democrats Meet i,
Glendale Wednesday to Select
New Officials
LEAGUE AND PERRY CONTROL
Independent Faction in Each Camp il
Out-Voted

Yesterday was county central COM
mittee day at Glendale and there were
interesting contests in both the re-
publican and democratic ranks.
The committees were different in
more than one respect. The demo-
Gratis voted proxies that were properly
signed, and the republican committee,
especially the nonpartisan end Of it,
would not allow the use Of proxies,
even Of men sitting from the precinct
in the committee holding proxy from
the regularly elected committeeman
Of his precinct.
When the thing was over F. ]. Gra-
ham Of Glendale was elected chair
man Of the republican committee, c.
E. Dinsmore Of Glendale as secretary
and treasurer and George Rose Of Ell
lendale state committeeman. All three
are leaguers. The opposition pre-
sented the name Of w. E. Dickinson
Of Fullerton for chairman Of the COM
mittee, the standing vote taken giving
Graham IL and Dickinson 12. Had the
four proxies been seated the vote
would have been IL to 16.
The committee was called to order
by U. G. Shepard, chairman, with G.
E. Dinsmore as secretary.
The democratic committee organiz-
ed by the election Of George Hatfield
Of Kent as chairman and F. L. Walker
Of Glendale as state committeeman.
O. C. Adams of Glendale was chosen
secretary and Mr.. Wenzel treasurer.
Fred B. Ingstad Of Oakes acted as
secretary pro TEN. The Perry faction
was in control.
Both meetings were held at the
court house, the republicans holding
their session in the court room and
the democrats occupying the base
ment.

ODD FELLOWS

Scores Of Fraternity Members Gather
at Memorial Park to Enjoy Pro-
gram and Outing
REV. HOLLETT GIVES ADDRESS
Weather Man Provided Ideal Day for
the Occasion

Odd Fellows and Rebekahs from all
over this section Of the country gath
cred at Memorial park, near Grand
Rapids, last Sunday to enjoy a picnic.
AS special attraction those in
charge of the program persuaded Rev.
Hollett, formerly of this city and now
in charge of the Methodist pastorate
at Lisbon, to deliver an address, and
for about an hour Mr.. Hollett held
the closest attention Of the large au-
dience in the park auditorium.
L. E. Reko, noble grand of the local
lodge, delivered the address of well
come and acted as master Of cere-
monies, filling the position in most
acceptable manner. The program fol-
lows:
Musical selection-Helen and Clar-
ence Jacobs.
Welcome address,. E. Reko, noble
grand.
America-Audience.
Remarks-Judge w. S. Wickersham,
grand master.
Musical selections-Helen and Clar-
ence Jacobs.
Introduction Of Rev. Hollett-L. E.

The local organization has one Of
the largest memberships boasted by
any lodge in the state, and is live
one in every respect. Every year
some sort Of gala day is planned and
executed by the officials and these af-
fairs are looked forward to eagerly,
members Of other lodges coming from
miles away to participate.
The fraternal spirit as exemplified
by Odd Fellowship is one Of the most
Cody Of human emotions and should
be developed to its highest point. If
members live up to the teachings Of
this great order nothing will be lack
ing to make them ideal citizens.
! Those in charge Of arrangements
are to be congratulated upon the ex-
cellent manner in which the affair was
handled.
While we are about it, it might not
be bad idea to pat the weather man
on the back little for the brand Of
ozone he provided Sunday, which was
an ideal day for the occasion.

DR.. Logan May Come Back


This Office is in receipt Of the fol-
lowing letter from DR.. ]. A. Logan,
who has spent the past two years or
so in a sanitarium at Colorado
Springs, Colo. Doc has not allowed
his illness to spoil his sunny DISPOSE
tion, as the breezy communication
testifes. He says in part:
II think it is about time I sent you
little check. I am still feeling fine,
all the time, but still stay at the san
itarium. Can't gain a great deal in
weight, but as long as I feel good !
should worry. Get out every day, but
don't let myself overdo any.
"Was up to Denver the first of June
for a week to have my brace fixed.
Had nice visit with Leo Tritt while
there, and he looks fine. He works
for big iewelry store there and has
good job.
"George Medford came up to see
me last night and we had q great visit,
as he has just come back from Cakes.
He promised to drop around quite
often.
Crank Guindon dropped of to see
me in February. He had been to jap
an and China on q trip. Sure was q
treat to see him.
might get back to North Dakota
this fall for q visit. It all depends on
how the harvest comes out, as the
farmers say.
MY regards to everyone, and am
pulling for big crop for everyone
there. Yours,

WILL EXHIBIT
ATSTATE FAIR
Killer, Malmberg Bros. and Martinsoa
Expect to Bring Home Num- n
Der Of Ribbons
POLAND CHINA HOGS ENTERED
Local Breeders Have Had Remarkabl,
Success

j. H. Killer, Lars Martinson and
Malmberg Brothers loaded two cars
with samples" Of their thoroughbred
Big Type Poland China hogs last Sat-
urday and left for Fargo, where they
are this week exhibiting at the North
Dakota state fair.
Hog fanciers who inspected the an
imals believe the Oakes men will be
able to win most Of the blue ribbons
offered for this breed, in spite Of the
fact that the entries will be obliged
to compete with the best offerings Of
other breeders in all parts Of the
state.
These men have made every fair
held in Fargo and Grand Forks, be-
sides many county expositions, for
several years, never failing to bring
home the most desirable trophies.
Their farms near this city have be-
come a veritable Mecca for lovers Of
fine hogs living hundreds Of miles
away as well as those residing near
home. Each year they hold sales Of
their choicest animals and those that
are not purchased by foreign buyers
are eagerly taken by local men who
are either just starting out in the
business or wish to add good heads
to herds already established.
Their success has proved to be an
inspiration to men who have tried
wheat raising with Indifferent success
and have come to realize that their
only hope is in stock breeding. Sew
eral Of our farmers have engaged in
the blooded hog business with pleas
ing and satisfactory results because
Of the example Of these men.
Hog raisers from other sections
come here, buy state and county fair
prize winners, take them home and re,
alize handsome profit on. the Id
vestment.
Before many years have gone by
Dickey county will be known ,ay Eli
place whore the best hogs are raised
and large part of the credit will be
due Malmberg Bros, Killer and Mar.
tinson, together with others who
started in the game somewhat more
recently. @e ), -

HAIL AND WIND
j DESTROY CROPS
Guelph, Fullerton and Glover Districts
Visited By Destructive Storm.
Saturday Morning
TOTAL Loss In SOME PLACES
Large Part of Damage Covered by
Insurance

Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
worth Of damage was done early last
Saturday morning by a terrific hail
and wind storm which struck about
ten miles west of Oakes. Many farm
ers in the Fullerton, Guelph and Glow
er neighborhoods were heavy losers,
some reporting their crops entirely
destroyed, while others said the storm
passed by without inflicting any ap-
preciable loss.
Johnny Morgan, who went into the
small grain game last spring on a
mammoth scale, seeding the greater
part Of seven quarter sections, is the
heaviest loser, 80 far as we have been
able to learn. The wind and hail
stripped his land Of practically every
thing. Mr.. Morgan did not carry any
insurance and the loss is serious one
to him. Paul Schroeder, who lives on
the F. w. Maercklein farm, reports
the greater part Of his crop destroyed,
and Clarence Enger's grain was badly
damaged, but both these men are for
titled by insurance. H. X. Haldeman
Of the Glover ranch is another heavy
loser. In addition to the destruction
Of much Of his small grain, the farm
buildings were partially wrecked by
the wind. Very few farmers in the
central part Of the county escaped
unscathed. It is impossible to publish
a complete list Of those who suffered
losses, because practically everybody
in the district was hit.
The storm covered strip several
miles wide and perhaps fifty or sixty
miles long, wreaking havoc in its path.
The damage will run into big fig
ures, but happily many Of the farmers
are protected to a greater or less ex-
tent by insurance.
The storm had spent its fury by the
time it reached the Cakes district, no
damage being reported east Of the
river, although the wind attained a
terrific velocity when at it's height.
