c. w. Litten. w. M. Grif-
fis, q. M. Johnson

The prospects Of locating oil in
Rurleigh county are exceptionally en-
couraging, according to G. w. Littcn
of Fargo. president Of the newly in
corpora ted -Rock Hill Oil company Of
Bismarck, which filed articles OF in
corporation with the secretary of
state Yesterday. The other incorpora-
tors include w. NJ. Griffis and'O. NJ.
Johnson, both of Bismarck.
The company, which is capitalized
at $1,000 has been organized to Sc
cure leases on land and to prospect
for OIL Already the organization has
quite y large acreage under lease and
will secure other leases in tho near
future. 1t hopes to begin actually
drilling within the county during the
carly summer, says Mr.. Littcn. who is
confident that the first producing we'll
in the state will be brought in within
Burleigh county.
Reports Are Favorable
Mr.. Litten and his associates base
their beliefs on the reports of two
survey of this territory during the
past winter and early spring. These
experts claim that the probabilities Of
much more favorable than are those
in other sections of the state where
drilling is already under way. Con-
ditions here, they state, are much
more promising than they were in
Montana and Wyoming before oil was
located.
Mr.. Litten has had 90 years expert
cnce in the oil producing game. and
was general manager of the Foster
Petroleum corporation which was or
ganized and incorporated here in 1921
to prospect for oil in southwestern
North Dakota and southeastern Mon
tana. and which later disposed of its
interests to the Pennsylvania Ken
lucky Oil and Gasoline Refining cor
poration.
Mr.. Griffis has had Is years ex-
perience in the same line of endeavor
in the oil fields throughout the south
west, and Mr.. johnson has made quite
q study Of thetsubject.
The Rock Hill Oil company does
not plan to sell any stock whatever,
Mr.. Litten states, since it is a closed
corporation.

ing Mrs. Beauprc she as engaged in

Mrs. Bcauprc said Mrs. Lightworth

the missionary a plush jacket to keep
her warm.

Officials here believe the body had
lain on the Belleview road for sew

covering.
The mud is accounted for by the
fact that high wind storm blew soil
over the body and this, followed by
snow. turned it into mud.

High finance knows how to knock

This means that you can't borrow

And, anyhow, the terror of specula-
