One Hundred Thousand Dollars in
order to obtain material and drilling
equipment and labor expenditures for
this first test hole. The contract
which Aspelund, Olsen and Pierce
have, calls for a hole not less than
5000 feet deep, but ewing to recent
geological reports made here by
some Of the best biologists in Am
erica, and from the log readings from
other wells being drilled in this
State it is now the firm belief of
these biologists that a strong flow
of oil may be encountered at APP
proximately 1000 feet
According to the Great Falls Lead
er's special edition on Montana Oil
News, there are exactly one hundred
INFESTED or so-called wildcat
domes in Montana, and the parties
who have obtained the leases on
same, have hard Shedding to obtain
contracts with bona-fde oil well
drillers, and less than one-fifth OF
these domes will be tested cut il
1924.
The lease holders on this dome
have obtained a very good contract
from the Saratoga and Viking peO-
pie, but they worked at it for over
two years before they succeeded in
getting the kind of contract wanted
The proposition has been put Up tc
every large oil we'll company in the
United States and Canada and there
are now a good many interested II
seeing this dome developed. Nc
stock will be sold locally.
1t is also reported that another
test we'll for oil will be put dowr
northwest of Scobey this summer
and it is quite likely that another
test well will be drilled near Red
stone during the coming season.
Mr.. Gunhus will be here personal
ly in a short time, accompanied by
a geologist to make preliminary ar
rangements for the erection of the
derrick and placing the machinery
as well as to examine titles to the
leases.

because DR.. Faucet had found
bursted appendix and did not know
how to take care of the same. This
story is probably the most malicious

heard told in all of his experience

the purpose eff destroying DR.. Faucet

keen medical competitor.
WILHELM'S LETTER
Bergfeldt, Sas., March %, 1924
Dear Mr.. Lang:
am convinced in my reason and
conscience that / wrote the truth
about the matter of L. Ehrmanntraut
in the Producers News.
/ wrote before to the Sheridan
County Farmer and to the Plenty
wood Herald to get the truth. The
first didn't answer and the Herald
wrote me that he didn't concern him
self about this sad history.
The doctors at PlentywoOd should
should have stayed at home and con-
cerned themselves only about the
patients Of Plentywood and net
about a man who came in another
hospital before.
They make enough money in Plen-
tywOOd. They should have answered
like the doctor at Crosby, N. D., who
praised the DR. Faucet and didn't
come to Outlook
The doctors of Plentywood worked
also before against DR.. York.
1t was not courtesy to make ridi-
culous the diagnosis Of DR.. Faucet
and to speak that patient had only
appendicitis. l.. Ehrmanntraut a
time before showed to people of here
his tumor on his belly.
! don't like to see that a doctor, an
educated man, back through their
way of acting the SANDER against
DR.. Faucet. / believe that they
didn't speak anything against him.
but through their work they support
ted the slanderers.
/ would have supported also the
doctors 70 Plentywood if somebody
of my mission would have slandered
them.
/ don't partake with all of the
opinions of the socialists and their
newspapers bet they are in many
points not wrong. If we had not
so many unjust capitalists and un-
just rulers in the world, We would
have no socialists.
Blames those who caused and Gre
ated the socialists through their way
of acting.
l don't know of any Catholic pa
pers in Montana and this history
happened in Montana and not in
Canada. If somebody is not salts
fed with my article, he has the right
to write against it.
/ don't know how the Producers
News can prove these words: "Mur-
dered by removal from Hopsital.v

70 THE VOTERS OF
 ALASKA

The Territorial legislature has en- acted a law providing for the election of a National Committeeman by the members of each political party in the Territory. At the Primary cleo tion on April 29, 1924, the Republi- cans elected a Republican National Committeeman and the Democrats elected a Democratic National Com mitteeman.
 As candidate for Republican Ma tional Committeeman I wish to here announce my platform. The Repub lican National Committeeman is an officer of the Republican Party, not an officer of the people as whole for Democrats cannot vote for him. The Delegate to Congress from AL aska is an officer of all the People, both Republicans and Democrats, for they can all vote for him if they wish. Therefore I pledge the Re- publicans of Alaska that, if l am elected the Republican National Com mitteeman, I will not recommend any Republican for an appointment in Alaska who is not first approved by the Republicans of the Territory and by those residing in the vicinity where such appointee is to serve. A Republican is a voter who takes a Republican ballot at the polls and
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-03-15

be preserved except by monopolistic methods of fishing is so unfair, so unjust, so un-American that it should be combatted by every citizen who has the welfare of this Territory at heart. This proposition of turning over the fisheries of Alaska to monopoly for preservation has it's origin with the people who will be pecuniarily benefited by the plan. It is in direct opposition to the pro- position contained in this article, and under such a system there can be no contentment among the fishing population.
 With monopoly entrenched in the salmon industry as it is today, it would seem to be quite large un- dertaking to dislodge it, but if the signs of the times count for any thing they mean that the American people are heartily sick and tired of monopoly and when the time is ripe for it's abolishment it is req sonable to believe that the Alaskan salmon monopoly will receive the at 'ention that it deserves.
 When monopoly in salmon fishery is abolished and competition in the industry is established then may we look for prosperity and consequent contentment among all the fishing classes in Alaska.
 Again we say that there is no good and sufficient reason why the competitive conditions of halibut fishery should not apply to salmon or any other fishery.
 This is the position of Dan Suth erland in Congress, and entities him 70 reelection.
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-03-15

votes for a Republican candidate for National Committeeman at the primary, and follows it up by voting for the Republican candidate for delegate to Congress, at the election OH the fourth of November. No others are Republicans.
 Yours truly,
 JOHN w. FRAME.
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-03-15
Prosperous Fishermen

1ue Splenululy prosperous COnQl- tion that now obtains in the halibut fishing industry should awaken the people of the Territory to the fact that the same conditions that pre- vail in halibut fishing can be made to apply to other branches of fish ing and there is no good reason why they should not apply.
 You cannot today find a single halibut fisherman who is dissatisfied with conditions that govern his branch of fishery but on the con- tlary every ha!ibut fisherman you meet is loud in his words of approv- al of these conditions.
 There is no monopoly in the hali- but fishery either in fishing or mar keting. All halibut is sold in open competitive market and as the de- mand for this fish is strong, good prices are paid to the fishermen for their catch.
 It was indeed a fortunate day for the halibut fishermen of the North Pacific when the PoindeXter amend ment to close the market at Prince Rupert and create a monopolistic market at Ketchikan was defeated in the U. s. Senate. It was also fortunate day for the town of Ketchi- kan, as the contentment with pres ent conditions on the part of the halibut fishermen is evidenced in the increase of trade at this port A satisfied, contended people is the object of civil government, and the purpose of laws is to bring about that social condition.
 If laws have brought about the conditions that obtain in the halibut industry, why is it not possible to correct conditions in the salmon fish cry in the same manner? When laws are enacted for the abolishment of all monopolistic methods of fish ing and marketing salmon then will the same satisfactory conditions pre- vail in that branch that are so mo- ticeable in the halibut fishery.
 In order to bring aobut the desired conditions in the salmon fishery it will be necessary to convince many good people that the prosperity of several thousand fishermen and their families is of little more import ance than the prosperity of approxi- mately one hundred cannery opera tors. It will be necessary to con- vince them that the law of supply and demand will operate to the re- gulation of industry so that with the abolishment of monopoly the can neryman will prosper.
 When the common right of fishery is recognized and protected by gov ernmental agencies, all monopoly will cease and then the salmon seiner will dispose of his product in con-
