Will Try to Stop
Water Flow in Well

Williston. N. D.. Oct. 22.-(P)-The
aid of experienced oil well men from
Wyoming and Montana fields has
been enlisted by the Big Viking Oil
company in it's efforts to shut off the
flow of water in the company's we'll
south of Ray.
Several attempts have been made
by the company to cement the well,
which has reached depth of about
4,700 feet, to shut off the flow of wa
ter, but gas pressure has been too
great for the facilities at hand.
Experts have arrived at the we'll
with special equipment from Cut
Bank, Mont, consisting of a high
pressure tank and other apparatus
which they declare will force back
the water in the six-inch casing and
enable them to cement it and thus
stop the water flow from higher
levels.
The we'll is now just above the La
kota sands, where oil production is
expected.

Cass Wheat Monarch
Had First Telephone

Fargo, NJ D.. Oct. 22.-North Da-
kota had its first telephone before
there was a single phone in the city
of Buffalo, N Y. That was during
the territorial days of the state. The
phone, looking like a megaphone
with some apparatus attached for
the transmitter and an upright
cylinder for a receiver, was installed
by Oliver Dalrymple, one time wheat
king and bonanza farmer of 10000
acres of land. at the headquarters far
nearer the present site of Casselton.
Inspired no doubt with the pros
poets of dollar a bushel wheat, Mr..
Dalrymple purchased the Centennial
Fair telephone on exhibit at the Gen.
tennial Exposition at Philadelphia in
1876 and brought it back with him
at the close of the fair. The pioneer
bonanza farmer has gone to his rest.
And siX-nile burrows are a thing Of
the past on his estate. Even the old
farm home that housed the first
phone shows signs of neglect.

LABOR FEDERATION
URGES DEFEAT Of
INITIATED MEASURE
Says State Salary Cuts Would
Lead to Private Salary
Reduction

Minot. N D.. Oct. 22.-tP)-The
North Dakota Federation of Labor
Saturday stood committed against
the passage Of a proposed initiated
measure which would reduce the sal
aries Of state employees, as the result
Of resolution passed here by the ex-
ecutive committee Of the organization.
The measure is condemned in the
resolution which declares the pro
posed law will serve as a precedent
for further wage reductions all over
the state for all private employees, sal
AIRED people and wage earners' and
furthermore the small amount that
would be saved the taxpayers
would be offset tenfold by the reduc-
ed net income of the taxpayers
due to the consequent reduction in
the purchasing power on the part Of
the consumers affected by this salary
reduction
The executive committee of the
state federation. consisting of Roy G..
Arntson of Bismarck president; Law
renee j. Nero of Grand Forks. Secre-
tary- treasurer, and H. c. Kuehn of
Minot, vice president, gathered in
Minot to attend special Of Minot
Central Labor Union and take action
on measures considered of great i'm
portance.
Proposals declared inimical to the
best interests of labor were initiated
measures asking reduction in the
cost of publishing legal notices and
the elimination of publications of de-
linquent tax lists.
The executive boards resolution
condemns the increasing tendency
toward use of the initiated measure
provision of the state constitution
which threatens to result in the EN-
actment of laws which have not been
thoroughly studied and the far-reach-
ing effects of which have not been
considered.' Elimination of pusllca-
ton OF the delinquent tax list. 1t is
declared, would make it possible for
more persons to avoid the payment OF
real estate taxes as is now done on
personal property taxes because the
personal property delinquent tax list
is not published" Defeat at the polls
of the measure to reduce fees for le-
gal publications is urged because less
than fourth of the legal notices
published in North Dakota are paid
for from the public treasury and
such publication fees to North Da-
kota are lower than the average for
the entire United States"
Other resolutions passed by the
board included one pledging the sup
port of organized labor to endeavors
by the farmers to obtain at least the
cost of production for their grain.
