Will Open Oil Field
Near Current Greek

Exploitation of the oil resources
of OIL Basin. known to many as Cur.
rant creek. Is not beyond the realm
of possibility. In fact, a number OF
California people have become inter
ested in Oil Basin through the eff.
forts OF William Nance, well known
In Tonopah and southern Nevada, who
Is at present In Stockton, says the
Tonopah Bonanza.
Mr.. Nance says he expects to con
meet with a drilling rig in the near
future. and has offered the sugges-
ton that a consolidation OF various
companies be effected. or at least
have the treasures pooled for the
purpose of sinking a well with al
possible speed to prove up the worth
of the district. The proposition
seems to be sound and 1t would
seem to be a good policy TO follow
out the ideas of Mr.. Nance.
In a letter to Harry Mcnamara OF
recent date Mr.. Nance says he ex.
poets to have a rig on the ground
In the near future and that he is con.
fdent that he will be able to realize
a good working fund. IF all the
companies in the Oil Basin would put
their funds and efforts into one out.
fit" Mr.. Nance writes, then I am
sure we could accomplish something
and do II quickly. Tell your people
around there and see what they say
II the rig Is secured I am sure all
hands concerned can keep Ii going

NEXT CONGRESS BONE DRY

One of the so-called issues of the
recent campaign was considerable
effort by the so-called Wet Interests
of the country to elect Congress that
would modify or repeal the Volstead
Prohibition Enforcement Act. The
results in two states, Ohio and Cali
fornia, where the question was a di-
rect issue must have been severe
shock to the supporters of light wine
and beer advocates as Ohio gave the
biggest dry majority in its history
and California, the home of the vine
yard, went dry by about forty thous-
and.
The next House of Congress will be
bone dry by at least seventy-five and
there will be an increased majority of
drys in the Senate. Ever since the
women of the land were given equal
suffrage with the men, the Herald has
been of the opinion that the Wet In
terests might just as we'll hang up
their fiddle as far as any hope of leg
islation beneficial to them is con-
cerned.
If there were more Federal judges
of the type Of Judge Page Morris who
imposes prison sentences upon the
bootlegger instead of separating him
from small portion of his nl-gotten
gains, the illicit traffic would not be
so attractive.
Sank Centre was the last town in
the United States to go dry and
while there is undoubtedly some
moonshine sold in the city we are
confident that it is brought to town
by outside talent. We have talked to
several of the businessmen who in
the past years were avowededly wet,
and we do not believe that any con-
dition could arise whereby the sa-
looms could be voted back into this
city,

Cloud Highbrows, we haven't had any
regrets, although it is perhaps rare
privilege to let some other bird do
your thinking for you.
Brother Eastman states that it is
men of the type of the Herald editor
who were responsible for the defeat
of Mr.. Kellogg, alleging that our Re
publicanism was only working when
there were favors in sight. We thor
ougly believe in the principles of the
Republican party and voted for Mr..
Kellogg and Eastman's charge that
the Herald editor is only Republican
when there are favors in sight falls
rather fiat in view of the fact that in
the past years he has sucked the
party dry with political snaps he has
gathered under his wing.

THE COMMON HERD TO BLAME

The defeat of Senator Frank Kel-
logg seems to be rather sore spot
with Alvah Eastman of the st. Cloud
Journal-Press. In commenting on
the Herald's editorial of last week,
Brother Eastman intimates that Mr..
Kellogg was defeated by the husky
rough necks of the state, and puts
the Herald editor in that class. The
Good Lord has made more rough
necks, or common people, than he has
of the silk sock variety, and the edi-
tor of this paper is willing to admit
the charge that he belongs to the
common herd.
In referring to the Sank Centre
delegation attending the County Con-
vention last spring, Mr.. Eastman
states that we did not have nerve
enough to file a delegate. At the
time the caucus was held the editor
was confined to his home with an at
tack of Flu for several days, and af-
ter having watched the "stunts" put
over the rest of the county by the St.

A TALK WITH A SAUK

Mr.. Louis Jackson, Prop of Feed
Store 200 Oak Street, Tells
His Experience.

There is nothing like talk with one
Of our own citizens for giving hope
and encouragement to the anxious
sufferer from the dread kidney dis
ease. We, therefore, give here an
interview with a Sank Centre man:
"When ever my kidneys have be-
come the least bit out Of order, l
have always resorted to Doan's Kidney
Pills and on each occasion they have
given good results" says Mr.. Jackson.
A short time ago my kidneys weren't
acting properly and they were q lit
tie weak. I had to pass the secretions
quite often during the night and this
caused annoyance. My back panied
and dizzy spells came on. Steady, dull
aches in my kidneys made me miser-
able. was so lame, could hardly get
around. / used Doan's Kidney Pills,
which got at Dowswell's Drug Store,
and they fixed me up"

Roy Mcconnell Says
It's Not So Bad Here

Roy Mcconnell who has been farm
ing in New Mexico for the past three
years and who removed recently to
this county, states that it requires
but year or two in some other parts
OF the country to make one realize
that farming in Crowley county is n
little better than in most otlsr
places. He said: when | lived here
before | was of the opinion that to
farm here was more expensive than
it was in other sections and that there
were many advantages in other
places that we did not have here. but
during my residence in New Mexico
| have changed my mind and [ pre-
fer farming in Crowley county whore
we have better water system. bet
ter climate and whore We have roads
over which we can travel in any seas
on OF the years. Farmers all over the
country have been hard hit, but /
can assure you that they are just as
well off here. and better in some re-
spects, than where have been and in
many other places l know about. To
be away for two or three years is to
SEQ the good features of Crowley
county and of farming here"

Adam Gives County
A Lift Up in Denver
From Denver Rccord-stockman:

From Denver Record Stockman:
I'VE have good many hogs on
feed in our territor". but very few
cattle are being finished this year"
said +. G. Adam. of the firm of F.. G.
Adam 4 Son, auctioneers and stock
buyers of Olney Springs. Colorado,
who was on the market with a ear
load of hogs and two car shipment of
cattle. The hogs sold at 1915, and
the cattle brought $3.50 and S6.35,
for steers and heifers, and $1O.5O for
veal calves.
1--WE raise a lot of excellent corn in
our district," continued the shipper.
and good deal of it is fed to hogs.
Our ranchers nearly all have a few
hogs on their place, and some of them
are going into business quito extern
siyely. They are finding that i. pays
them better to feed the corn to hogs
than to sell it. and l expect to see a
large increase in the number of hogs
sent to market from our district in
the next few years"
Mr.. Adam has shipped cut 90 loads
of live stock from Olney Springs since
January 10th, somo OF it coming to
Denver and some going to Nuckolls,
at Pueblo. Il am highly pleased
with the prices received for my stock
on the Denver market today" he
said. Il made good money by COM
ing to Denver with Them
