Doubts Reports That French

ter pOking into the south shore Of
New Foundland, was the hope of the
Canadian authorities today in their
search for the White Bird and Cap
tains Nungesser and Coli, missing
trans Atlantic flyers.
A report from Ocean Pond, less
than 100 miles east of the bay, that
a plane, apparently experiencing mo

town last Monday, led the authorities
TO ask that the French steamer An
cease, at st. Pierre, Miquelon, be or.
dered to go to the bay and make II
thorough search.
Should this mission prove futile,
the Angease will then cruise west
along the south coast where there
are number of small fishing settle
ments.
Have No Communication
These settlements have no means
of communicating with the world
other than by boat and it was con-
sidered a possibility that Nungesser
and Coli might have been picked up
by a fisherman and taken to one Of
the settlements.

plane over Ocean Pond, Is miles

To Put More Money
on Time Deposit

Reduction by the Bank Of North
Dakota of interest rates on call
money merely means that he will
place more of the states money on
time deposit. State Treasurer {. A.
Fisher said today. Until May l the
Bank Of North Dakota paid one and
three quarters per cent interest on
call money. The new rate is one
and one-half per cent.
Most Of the state money already IS
placed with the bank as time deposits,
Fisher said, and the change in the
interest rate will cause him to figure
the states needs a little more closely
and place most Of the anticipated
cash surplus on time deposit.

Townley Exhibits Bottle OF
Crude Oil Which He Claims
Was Dipped From Well
There-Says He Does Nc.
Intend to Conduct Another
Solicitation Campaign

A. c. Townley, original Nonpart.san
League organizer, told his friends
yesterday at Robinson that he had
found oil in the well he is drilling
there and exhibited what he said was
indisputable proof of the fact.
Evidence consisted Of "A bottle Of
crude oil which he said was dipped
from the hole with tomato can
on a string and came from the 100
foot level. Then, to make it more
impressive. the string Of drilling
tools was lowered into the well and
hoisted again. 1t came up dripping
with oil mixed with mud which
Townley said had accumulated in the
well during the last year. He said
the oil discovery was made at IL
O'clock on the night Of May %. 1926,
but that no announcement was made
of the fact because he wanted to get
more leases in the vicinity.
In an interview with the Associated
Press, Townley said he does not in
tend to conduct another solicitation
campaign among his friends in North
Dakota to finance the project. Money
to sink the well was loaned to Town
ley by friends who knew him in his
Nonpartisan League days. They took
his note as evidence Of his indebtness.
Townlcy and Patterson Speak
1t was estima ated that between 5000
and $500 persons visited the drilling
site during the day. A large number

however, and did not stay for the
