OIL ACTIVITY IN GILLAM

IS NOW BEING REVIVED IN FIELDS ABANDONED YEARS AGO IN GILLAM. Activity in the Gillam township .oil fields, from all appearances, is to be revived at an early date. For some time a company has been acquiring lease* in the vicinity of Asphaltum where the refinery was located a few years ago and the company is now busy erecting buildings for the use of the employes, commisary and other purposes at Asphaltum and is getting drilling machinery on the ground. Representatives of the company refuse to give any information of their plans but an employe of the company stated that two deep wells will be drilled to teat the field as sobn as the necessary arrangements can be made. This field was exploited several years ago by an eastern company and over a hundred wells were drilled, all of which produced Oil and were- pumped at that time. A refinery was erected at Asphaltum and a branch of the Gifford road was built to that place. The oil was found at a shallow depth. It was of a heavy nature more like asphalt than the oil used for making gasoline. There wpa no market

for that kind of oil at that time and the field was finally abandoned. "The refinery was wrecked and the railroad track torn up. and all that now remain* of Asphaltum is a few dwelling .houses which have been vacant since operations were abandoned and the store that was located there at that time ceased business some time ago. These buildings are now all being put in shape for the employes of the new company. Lots are also being sold for the use of those who wish to build homes. A geologist recently visited this field and expressed the opinion that oil in paying quantities would be found by drilling deep wells. j At present the old wells can be seen in all directions, the piping sticking from the ground and the oil can still be found in the casings of the former wells. Since the abandonment of the old field the land has been farmed around the casing sticking from the ground and . many of the farmers still use- the oil from the wells for lubricating , purposes, as it is' of a superior quality for that purpose.

K. T. RHOADES BADLY INJURED

WHILE UNLOADING AUTOMOBILES FROM MONON CAR THIS TUES. MORNING K. T. Rhoades, automobile salesman, suffered a badly broken left leg, and Don Hoover, automobile mechanic, received a broken nose dbout eleven o’clock this Tuesday morning, tfye result of an accident which occurred while they were engaged in unloading a carload of Dodge autos from a Monon freight car. Victor Hoover, who was assisting the men, miraculously escaped serious injury. The lower tier of automobiles had been removed from the car and the men were engaged in putting on the Wheels of the automobiles which were suspended from the roof of the freight car. The three men were beneath the car and had just finished putting on one wheel when the wires which suspended it gave way, and the automobile went crashing to the floor. Rhoades was pinned beneath it, but Don Hoover managed to get out of its path, but Wa» struck on the nose as he did so. Victor was ‘fortunately on the side of the car on which the wheel had been placed and the car did not strike him. Rhoades’ leg was broken well above the knee and, although the break was a clean one, it is one that will lay him up for several months. He was removed to his home on N. College avenue by an - ambulance. . . j

PREDICTS G. 0. P. SWEEP

SENATOR JOHNSON SAYS REPUBLICAN SITUATION WAS NEVER BETTER.

While in Chicago last week Senator Hiram. Johnson of Calfornia gave' out the following statement: “The situation for us Republicans could not be better,’’ said the senator. “In the three great coast states Senator Harding will win overwhelmingly. Just say for me that there is no question how! a one of these states will s go, regardless of what you may have heard., “The issue in jour territory, which also is the overshadowing issue of the eastern states, is the league of nations, because of the pre-primary fights which have made the coast states peculiarly familiar with the whole question. । “Some have attempted to misrepresent Senator Harding’s position, but without success. He has taken the position firmly-that our people East and West have taken overwhelmingly—opposition to the have had both Cox and F. D. Roosevelt in the West, but they made no headway against Senator Harding’s' statement. Ask Senator’s election. “Only secondary to the election of Senator Harding is the election of United States senators hi accord with his views. The Republican doctrine now being certain and admitting of no equivocation, the Republican senatorial candidates Who stand on that doctrine should be “Of course, every normal person will promote peace and prevent war by every honorable means. And it goes without saying, just as Senator Harding puts it, that hereafter all will strive bo prevent another cataclysm. “But the issue now is the league. The overshadowing issue is whether American citizens will submit to an organization of foreign diplomats which will neither promote peace nor prevent war. They will not. It is this issue we meet boldly in tins campaign', 4 and the issue upon which the views of Senator Harding will be overwhelmingly indorsed. '“Ns Doubt of Outcome.” “I have taken a very intense interest in American politics, for a great number oi years and I have never in that time seen an election when there was so little doubt as in this one. My own opinion is that Senator Harding’s victory will exceed any within my personal recollection.”

AU. PRESIDENTS REFUTE GOV. COX

EACH OPPOSED TO FORMATION OF ENTANGLING ALLIANCES WITH EUROPE. That America should remain free from such entangling alliances with European powers as expressed in the Wilson-British League of Nations covenant is declared over and over again by all presidents of the United States from the time of Washington. Following is a refutation by each of them of the advocacy by Governor Cox of the League without reservation and an endorsement of the declaration by Sector Harding that he will stand for America first and turn his back upon the covenant: George Washington, Sept. 9, 1796. “Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence . . the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. The great rule of conduct is in extending commercial relations to have' with them as little political connectZou as possible. ~ . • Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none or very remote relation.” John Adam*. Ma/ 16, 1797 - “Although it is iery true that we ought not to involve ourselves in the political system sM Epnroe but to keep ourselves always distinct and separate from it. . . . yet continual information .. Z . is necessary in order to the discovery of the efforts made to draw us into the vortex.” Thomas Jefferson, Oct. 17, 1803. “Equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state of persuasion, religious or political; peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none. How desirable then must it be in a government like ours to see its citizens adopt . . . the conduct which their country should pursue, divesting themselves of those passions and partialities which tend to lessen useful friendships and to embarrass and embroil us in the calamitous scene of Europe.” James Madison, Mar. 4, 1809. “To chefish’peace and friendly intercourse with all nations having correspondent disposition. to foster a spirit'of independence. ... to exclude foreign intrigues and foreign partialities, so degrading to all Countries and so baneful to free opes. . . . as for as sentiments and intentions can aid the fuUfillment of my duty, they will be a resource which can not fail me.”

James Monroe, Dec. 2, 1823. “OUr policy in ’ regard to Europe . . . remains the same, which is not to interfere in the internal concerns of any of its powers. . . . We consider any attempt on their part to extend their system on any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.” Mir. Monroe is also best known by the complete “Monroe Doctrine.” , John Quincy Adams, Mar. 15, 1826. “Mindful of the advice given by the father of our country in his farewell address, that the rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending pur commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. Disclaiming alike all right and all intention of interfering in those concerns * * *of their prosperity.” Andrew Jackson, Dec. 4, 1832 “The uniform policy and practice of the United States is to avoid all interference in disputes which relate to the internal government of other nations. Our best wishes on all occasions, and our good offices when .required, will be afforded to promote the domestic tranqiiility and foreign peace of all nations with whom we have any intercourse. Any intervention in their affairs further than thv even by the expression of an official opinion is contrary to our principles of international policy.” Martin Vanßuren, Dec. 5, 1840 “We have faithfully sustained the foreign policy with which the United States under the guidance of its first President took its stand. ♦ * ♦ A rigid and persevering abstinence from all interference with the domestic and political relations of other states- —those have given our country a standing in the great family of nations of which we nave just cause to be proud.” Wm. H. Harri.cn, March 4, 1841 \ “It is my intention to use every means in my power to preserve friendly intercourse with a foreign nation * * • that I see a guaranty that the harmony * * * wifl not be interrupted by the advancement of any claim or pretention upon their part to which our honor would not permit us to yield.” Jame* K. Polk, Doc. 2, 1845 “It is well known to the American people knd to all nations that ed b£
