OIL DRILLING TO
BE RESUMED
New Drilling Cable Arrived and Has
Been Hauled Out to the Lease
of Pioneer Oil Co.
AS WEATHER WARNS
DRILLING WILL BE RESUMED
Salt Water and Oil in the Well
Makes Prospects For Big Well
Extremely Favorable.

The new drilling cable has arrived
and has been hauled out to the lease.
Actual drilling will be resumed as
soon as the weather warns up
enough so the water lines will not
freeze up. The fact that there is
salt water and oil in the we'll at
this time makes the prospects for a
big we'll extremely favorable. For
many years the opinion was among
the oil industry that when salt wa
ter was encountered that all possi-
bility for oil was abandoned, but
in recent years salt water has been
caSed off and all the mighty gushers
that are found in the oil fields o,
the world today are found under
salt water Since salt water has
many times more pressure than
fresh water; hence the gusher when
oil is encountered.
A recent article in the Tulsa Oil
and Gas journal quotes the follow
ing: Salt water and oil from the
new SnakDver field in Arkansas is
a menace to health. Monroe, town
65 miles below Smakover gets its
water supply from the Quachita riv-
er which runs thru Smakover and
the oil and salt water has menaced
the water so strong at Monroe that
it has killed all the fish and makes
it impossible to use the water. 1t
is feared that the contamination Of
the water will prove a serious men
ace to health of the population
throughout that territory.
It is believed that this is the first
salt water that has ever been en-
countered in Iowa. Our esteemed
state geologist in letter to one of
our local men stated that there was
not one chance in ten thousand OF
finding salt water. He expresses the
same opinion regarding oil. Well we
have salt water, oil next.

MORE PAVING
FOR DEBORAH
City Council Making Preparations to
Put in Several Pieces of Paw
ing This Year.
WILL PAVE ALLEY
NORTH OF WATER STREET
Paving Will Run From Public Opin-
ion Corner to the Milwaukee
Depot to Connect Wa
ter Street.

The City Council have published
resolutions of necessity for more
paving in Decorah this year. One
Of the projects is to pave the stretch
from the paving on West Water
street at the A. Leytze residence
leading to West Decorah, about two
blocks, then up the state road to
the city limits near the Ed Casey
home.
The Alley north Of Water street
will also be paved. The paving will
be started on the street connecting
with Water street between the Pub
lie Opinion and Emil RoSenthal
buildings and the paving will run
east in the alley 20 the Milwaukee
depot and connect up again with the
paving on Water street at the bridge
near the depot. The alley paving
calls for IS foot roadway.
One block on East Broadway will
also be paved. This is the block
leading over Dry Run TO connect up
with Washington street paving.
It appears that this is all the paw
ing contemplated for this year, and
whether more will be added later is
up to the council. The resolutions
for this paving is published in this
issue of Public Opinion and gives
full particulars regarding the kind
of paving, width of streets, etc.

have been spirited discussions and no
little rivalry as to who's who in this

who remained out claim the best was

TONS OF GAME FISH
RESCUED BY WARDENS

PRA. DU CHIEN.-LaSt Sunday
Horseshoe lake, located between Pra.
du Chen and McGregor, was seined
to save game fish from being smoth-
cred when the lake freezes over. 1t
is estimated that over 10000 pounds
of fish were taken out, most of which
were game fish.
The haul was, made by F. E. Holly
and H. c. Craig by special permit of
the state conservation commission IN
der the supervision of Deputy Game
Warden Keller of Bagley. 1t took
over $500 feet of sein and the haul
was started Saturday morning and
completed Sunday noon. 1t took
about twelve men to pull in the sein.
They say it was one of the cleane5t
hauls ever made in this section and
only about 40 fish were injured and
not fit to return to the water, and then
fewer rough fish in the haul.
The game fish consisted of 100
baskets of about 100 pounds each,
which were brought over into the east
channel and dumped. About 60 per
cent of the game fish were sunfish and
40 per cent croppies, some of the crop
pies being IA inches long. There were
35 pickerel, 800 pounds of bass, 300
pounds of perch and baskets of
rough fish, such as bulheads, carp and
buffalo. One carp weighed 20 pounds.
During low water there is no out
let to Horseshoe lake and as soon as
the lake freezes over the fish smother
to death. Those in charge of the haul
say the deepest place in the lake is
only 80 inches.-Press.

Ralph and Earl had been to Bridge

way, and then went out to the hen
house. Soon the other men returned
to the house, and Ralph and Earl took
several hens from the roost and pro-
ceeded to the cornfield near by, where
they made them squawk. Wilcox and
Ready thought chicken thieves were
making away with the poultry, and
after hasty search found the gun in
the cellarway They went out and
shot in the direction of the ''squawk-
ing" The aim was too true, for The
bullet, % special struck Ralph in
the back beneath one of his shoulder

QUERY AND ANSWER
(MuscOda Progrps siyel


Grille, Boscobel: | am young cir!
very fond of the boys, but it seems l
get tired of them easily. The more |
see of them after | am with them a
few times the more dislike them. Do
you think a grille like me will ever
find a man that will come up to my
ideals and one that / could learn to
love always? Answer: Yes, if you do
not set your ideals too high and be
sure they are human. Everybody has
more or less faults, but real love rare
ly sees them, or at least sees them in
favorable light. The probability is
that when your love finally centers on
a man, you will find that he will meas
ure up to your standard of ideals, no
matter what his faults may be.
R. c., Boscobel: Should a man feel
insulted, indignant or complimented
when he gets statement from a per-
son or firm he owes, particularly
when one was never sent him before?
Answer: Neither one. The sending
out of statements is a legitimate chan
mel of business. 1t is practiced by
business men the world over, and If
you have never received a statement
from a creditor, you profited by his
negligence.
G.. S. Excelsior: To settle an ar
gument, will you please answer what
is Westminster Abbey? Answer:
Westminster Abbey is the coronation
church of the sovereigns of England,
and it adjoins the House of Parlia-
ment. 1t is also distinguished as the
burial place of lal &c number of En-
glish kings.
B. NJ, Tavera: | am writing to ask
the editor of the Question and Answer
column how fast light can and does
travel? Answer: The velocity of
light is about $4,000 miles per sec
ond.
Reader, Muscoda: Do bumblebees
migrate south like birds? Answer:
No. All bumblebees perish in the fail
except the young queens. These pass
the winter in some sheltered spot and
found new colonies in the following
spring.
T. j., Blue River: What was the
fire loss in the United States for 1922
and also for 1923? Which country
suffered most from fire loss? Answer:
The fire loss in the United States for
1922 was 1921, 100000. has not as yet
been computed for 1923. The loss in
the United States is greater than that
of all Europe.
