OIL POOL DISCOVERED
BY CONTINENTAL FIRM
Indicates Production of More Than
$4,000 Barrels Daily.

PONCA CITY, Okla, April A.
The discovery of another major pool
in Oklahoma was indicated today

nounced that it had brought in a
heavy producer on its lease 20 miles
southeast of Ada, Okla.
The new well, known as McCarty
No /, came in at 1893 feet at a rate
which indicates production of more

Silver has had a hectic price
career the past year. In December,
1882, silver could be bought for only
25 cents an ounce, the lowest price
in the last 20 years. In May, 1885,
the price reached 74.4 cents, or the
highest since 1920. From the high
point last May to the present time
the price dropped 40 per cent. At its
present price the silver in silver

Curious Anomaly Created
by Southern Company'S
Stock Sale.
BY FOSTER EATON
United Press stan CORRESPONDENT

ST. LOUIS. April 4.-Recent sale
of a controlling stock interest in
the General American Life Insur-
ance Co. of st. Louis to interests
identified with the Southwestern
Life Insurance Co. of Dallas, Tex,
has resulted in a financial anomaly.
1t is:
General American owns stock
control of Southwestern Life, which
enjoys the same relationship to
General American-an almost COM
plete financial circle.
Out of this situation has come the
demand of r. Emmett OMalley,
Missouri insurance superintendent,
that David A. Milton, son-in-law of
John D. Rockefeller Jr., who sold
General American control to South
western, withdraw from the General
American directorate.
Determined to PenaIize'
Mr.. OMalley announced he was
determined to penalize" Mr.. Milton
for allegedly secretly selling to
Southwestern, and asserted that
when he had finished with the busi-
ness he would effectively discour-
age the return of stock manipula-
tors and insurance racketeers" to
Missouri.
Two and one-half years ago. the
Missouri State Life Insurance Co..
then in receiverShip, was ACQUIRED
by the newly formed General Amer
lean with 100000 invested by
Equity Corp, of which Mr.. Milton.
is head.
Missouri State Life, however.
owned 5212 per cent of Southwest
ern Life stock, purchased at a total
cost of S7,3000O0 and now held in
truSteeShip.
Round and Round
The recent Milton deal trans
ferred control of General American
to Southwestern through sale of 80
per cent of General American stock
to interests identified with South
western for a consideration of ST.
100000.
Southwestern actually bought
1884 shares of General American
outright for $20004O, and through
an investment company supplied
funds for the purchase of Al ,666 adj
ditional shares for $2,499,9 $50.
The net result of the various
transactions is that Missouri State
LifeS account within General
American controls Southwestern
which now controls General Amer
lean which owns Missouri State
Life.

HAMMOND, Ind, April 4.-Build-
ing permits issued in Hammond
during the initial quarter of the
current year increased by approx
mately 498 per cent in value over
the corresponding 1885 period and
2066 per cent over the first quarter
of 1884, according to a report re-
leased today by Joe P. Guy, building
commissioner.
The permits for the current pc
Rod were valued at $676,887, against
$112,868 in 1885, and $3O,785 in the
same quarter of 1884. The issuance
of $524,000 permit for the new Edi-
son school was largely responsible
for the sharply higher volume.
Included in the 1872 permits issued
during the first quarter this year was
the construction of six new resi-
dences at a cost of $21 800. A 100000
permit was issued for the construc-
ton of a new factory for the La

OPEN ROADS THIS WINTER

1t is welcome news that the state

Duluth serving as a center for 200
workers keeping clear the roads of St.
Louis, Cook, Lake, Carlton and Pine
counties. Last year highway crews
did good work in keeping roads open
through severe weather, but the ex-
ceptional iciness of highways made a
safety problem which made winter

extensive this year. preparations in

Keeping the roads open in winter is
expensive, but it makes highways a

STRAW VOTES

Much has been said about straw
votes before election both for and
against them, but the average person
refuses to get "het up" over them.
Many are partial and it is yet to be
proved to us that they are taken
seriously by those who actually vote
on them.
The Literary Digest. which claimed
the reputation of pretty accurately
predicting the outcome of other cleo
lions and especially the first election
of Roosevelt four years ago. now
laughs off the fact that its poll went
so far away from the actual result.
The editor of the Digest said it would
take time and a lot of pencils and
paper to figure out the reason. Well.
we can possibly explain a little de-
ficiency to Mr.. Digest Editor in that
as far as can be learned he failed
to send any ballots to the Askov COM
munity. OF course it might be pos
sible that he had been told in adj
vance how this community might go
However, in the best way we car
figure, this poll has had the law OF
averages against it and it proves
therefore, that the only thing gained
was little prediction entertain
ment.

ROOSEVELT AGAIN
Duluth Herald)

This mornings returns settled the
one remaining doubt of this election
by making it clear that President
Roosevelt's majority in the electoral
college sets an all-time record for
our country.
BY it's very magnitude, the Rocse-
welt lead will clear away Republican
regrets, deep though they are. In
the face of the lead it is obvious that
a Republican victory in this year was
not to be won by any means. Any
acrimony among the Republicans and
their Democratic allies would be use
less. The President was irresistible
this year. The Republicans have done
their duty of criticizing and offering
alternatives. and will continue to do
so, to be ready for the turn of the
tide, when it comes.
AS for President Roosevelt, the re-
turns themselves are eloquent proof
of the confidence and regard the peo-
pie have in him. Returned to office

SINCERE EFFORT

That President Franklin D. Roose-
welt has been sincere in his four
year term of office as the nations
chief executive to the satisfaction of
the voters of the nation, is seen by
their action at the polls Tuesday. His
blood must be warm toward the testi-
mony.they have given his efforts and
his mind must be made up not to dis
appoint their continued faith in him.
They have told him in silent elo-
quence that he is big enough for the
big job which still lies ahead.
The outspoken fear of some of his
opponents certainly will not be JUS
titled if the people have judged him
correctly. He is the one in whom
they have placed their faith, for he
did not fail them in the darkest hours
of the depression when institutions
and ideals were tumbling about us
with tragic results. True, he has
made mistakes and will possibly con-
tinue to make them, but he will not
be the dictator which some have
feared he will be, if he even maintains
a portion of his past sincerity. He
will go on and on and with him will
reign the peace and security of the
people of the United States.
His trust is too sacred; true Amer
leans will not have to fear. Post

ment which has much meaning when
he said that individuals and corpora.

First Hand Dope On
Gopher Football

Minneapolis, Nov. 2-There were no
excuses from Bernie Bierman when
he arose to tell 500 members of the
Minneapolis Journals Downtow n
Quarterbacks club about the to
victory Northwestern scored over his
Gophers last Saturday.
He refused to acknowledge that
breaks, fumbles or penalties had
cost the game. Northwestern play
ers wanted to win more than our
boys wanted to win," said he. North
western fought harder and that extra
fight made the difference.
1T is true that some bad breaks
led up to NOrthyestern's score, but it
was our fault that some of those
breaks occurred. Moreover, all the
breaks in the game gave Northwestern
just one touchdown and that would
not have been enough if our players
had been fighting hard. I've seen this
coming for long time, and I've told
the boys it was coming but they
wouldn't believe me.
1.-The chief difference between this
game and past games this season is
that Northwestern had the right men
tai attitude and was able to play 60
minutes of hard football without being
frightened by our regulations.
IF Washington had played with
that attitude Washington would have
beaten us. The same is true of Ne
braska and Purdue, but those teams
evidently went into the game believ-
ing we would win and that gave us
the edge we needed. Northwestern
went into the game believing it had
chance to win and willing to give
everything it had. 1t played more
hard football than we did and that
tells the whole story.
Nov everything depends upon how
our boys react. If they are willing to
believe now that they have to try
hard, they will probably win their re-
naming games. If they are still un-
convinced if they try to blame
the weather, the condition of the field
the breaks and refuse to blame
themselves. then we are in for lot OF
trouble through the rest of the SEIZED
ule."
In spite of the murky, rainy day at
Evanston, Phil Brain was able to make
remarkably clear motion picture OF
the game. 1t showed clearly that the
Gophers had the stronger attack and
defense, and really had an advantage
in the play throughout. but did not
have the punch to carry through
after creating opportunities.
II was pretty disguised after the
game" said Bernie Bierman, but I'm
just sick now after watching the pic
lures and perceiving the large num-
Der of chances we missed because we
wouldn't make a little extra effort
At least two of those long runs should
have gone for touchdowns, if some
of the boys had not been loafing, and
there were actually dozens Of plays
that carried potential long gains and
possible scores but for general ten
dency to loaf and take things for
granted"
