There is a tendency on the part
of Republican leaders in Congress to
criticize the Executive branch of the
Government for things done Is th?re
not justification for the charge that
Congress has done all too little?

High praises for a piece o legis-

gress was given recently wen
Nicholas Murray Butler in an
before the National Press
Washington said that in his opinion
the Overman act was the finest word-
ed piece of legislation ever enacted
by Congress except the Sherman act
It was the Overman act that enabled
the President to transfer authority
from on Executive department to an-
other to more expeditiously prosecute
war
One night last week the town of
Laveme is reported to have been vis-
ited by burglars who broke into stores
at that place and procured quite a
quantity of goods A night or so
later a store at Fargo was broken
into and goods taken to the amount
of several hundred dollars Then on
Friday night a store at Gage was
burglarized and $250000 worth of
goods stolen This seems to be an
organized band of thieves who are
holding up the best stores of the com-
munity and “rifling” them of
highest priced goods

The above map shows six northern counties of the Panhandle of Texas
and Ellis county Oklahoma where much oil excitement is now prevailing
among those who aro fighting the oil game This territory has been under
suspicion for a long time of being in possession of one of the biggest
oil pools in the whole of the midcontinent field and the locatiorf of new
test wells as shown above indicate that activity in earnest has begun
for development The best of geological reports is reputed to have been
made on the territory by competent and capable geologists There is no
doubt but that within the next few months the attention of the whole oil
world will be attracted to the territory as shown in the above map as
the most prospective territory for new development

This morning 1 was 'mosafeared

effort If we “just set” here and ex-

left Others are laying plans and
that is one of the important reasons
why our commercial club should be
in active working order A town the
size of Shattuck cannot afford to be
without an active working commercial
