Indians Killed white suy

Although Michigan has been a
battle-ground in several wars, Sagi-
nav was the scene of one Of the few
spy executions ever recorded in the
state, relates a correspondent in the
Detroit Free Press. During the War
Of 1872, the Americans were trou-
bled as to which side the Saginaw
tribe of Indians there would take.
Jacob Smith, an. Indian trader, was
sent with two assistants, ostensibly
on a trading trip, but actually to
learn where their sympathies were
enlisted. One Of the assistants drank
too much and revealed their actual
mission. Smith and his other as
sistant fed, leaving their stock. The
one who exposed the plan was
killed as a spy but the others es-
capped. Smith later again won the
good viii of the Indians and opened
a trading post where Flint now
stands in 1919 and operated it until
his death in 1925.

Ancient Arizona Church
One of Finest In u. S.

History tells us that once there
were twenty missions and mission
vistas in Arizona. All save one, the
finest of them all, the Incompatible
mission church of San Xavier del
Bac, eight miles south of Tucson,
are in ruins. A second, Tumacacori,
forty-eight miles south Of Tucson,
is a national monument, and is be-
ing preserved lovingly for posterity
by the National Park service, says
a correspondent in the Los Angeles
Times.
No one knows accurately when
the church of San Xavier was built,
though the name, Pedro Bojorques,
1877, is carved on one Of the sacris-
tai doors. But this may be merely
the name of the man who did the
carving and the date when he COM
pleted his work.
Tradition has it that the church
was built by the Gaona brothers Of
Caborca. Credence is lent to this
tradition by the fact that the Gaona
brothers built the church Of Puri-
sima Conception de Caborca, which
so much resembles San Xavier.
But whoever the builders, they
constructed an edifce that is incom-
parably the finest church building
within the limits Of the United
States.

"Drake's Folly" Brought
Forth the Great Oil Era

II was the Drake well-''Drake's
folly" in 1859, that really
was responsible for the beginning Of
the great oil era. Advancing prices
Of rock oil and a growing knowl-
edge of petroleum and its uses in
the production Of kerosene, paraffin
and lubricants, were developing a
widespread interest in petroleum in
America, and on Oil Creek, Pa,
where oil seepages occurred, E. l.
Drake, superintendent of the Sem
eca Oil company property, assem-
bled his drilling equipment After
boring SO feet, the drill fell into a
crevice that made the total depth
Of the well 691l feet. The next day,
observes a writer in the Washington
Star. that well was nearly filed with
oil. There ensued the first race for
leases and wild speculation in oil
properties. BY 1865 drilling had be-
gun its march from Manitoulin is
land to Alabama and from Mis-
souri, to central New York"
The early years Of the Twentieth
century were marked by great ad-
VancsS in oil-feld development, in
petroleum technology, in the appl-
cation Of petroleum in the arts, war
fare and commerce, and in geologic
methods of discovering oil fields.
This black gold grew to be the Sec
ond largest industry in the country,
and in production, transportation,
refining and marketing, some $l2,-
900, 900, 900 being invested in the
United States. In one year, 1884,
Italy produced as much oil as this
country produced in half an hour.

Professional Teams

Continued from page one)
Des Moines and st, Paul, meet in
a Northwest Professional league
game at the athletic field.
Twin Cities sports writers and
radio commentators have been in
vited to attend and it is expected
that a delegation representing the
athletic field board will visit
Minneapolis and st. Paul this
week to make the invitation dou-
bly, cordial.
According to E. H. Helgeson
who assisted athletic field heads
in securing the benefit game, the
teams play on par with national
professional league groups and
are as well coached as could be
asked.
Proceeds will go toward further
development of the field plant
which already includes one of the
best lighted football fields in the
northwest, a cinder track UNI
equalled except in colleges and
concrete tennis courts. A granite
football stadium is planned and
baseball and softball diamonds
will be improved and provided
with adequate seating facilities.
The Scenic City band, which
has a band shell located on the
field with ample audience space
and parking facilities, will furnish
music as a part of the program.
The high school band is also ex-
pected to participate.
The dedication program will be
planned by Superintendent Reede
Gray of the Redwood Falls
schools and members of the coun-
Gil of the city which owns the
athletic field site. ~.-.
Plans are to accommodate
thousands of football fans from
throughout this section of the
state and Iowa.
AS usual the American Legion
auxiliary will sponsor a potluck
dinner for all ex-service men and
their families in the Legion hall
at $50 p. m. Armistice day.
