The chairman then announced the
auhject for dehateIlenolved,
"That the railroads in the United
Htatea nhould lie owned and ope
rated hy the Federal Government."
Luther Mo. in wa the leader for
the affirmative and in hia 15-min-ute
opening atateil clearly and
forcibly what the affirmative ex
pected to prove. Iluheu Boot en
followed for the negative ami used
considerable akill in handling the
etrong and wk point of hi
opponent. Ilia exjerienee in de
hating laet year atood him well in

argument for the affirmative. Hhe
wat lomled with facia and pre
aented them with condensation
and clearness. Hhu had the fac
ulty of minimiiing her opponent
argument and making her own
stund out clearly. Her enunoia
tion wa good and her delivery
carried conviction. Hie la a
"comer" on the Crook County
High School debating team.
Uavid Pickett followed Mis
Gabon!. One could see that he
had put in an immense amount of
hard work on the auhject from the
way he handled hi fuel, hut he
lucked confidence in himself.
Thi eriouly handicapid him In
delivery. One must be sure nl
himself to carry conviction with
hia hearer. David will become a
formidable duhater when he over
come thi defect.
After a solo hy Mis Celia
Nelma Ruben Ilooten and Luther
Moore were allowed ten minute
each for rebuttal. Jtoth vounn
men did well. They were quick
and ready thinker and were right
on hand with the good when an
0H-ning presented itself. The
leader for the affirmative used
it tic artifice that are sometime
effective in debate and would un-
loubtedly get a decision before a
Kpular assemblege, but they
didn't work with the experienced
udgca. When Luther got throngh
the audience would have given hi
aide the decision if put to a vote.
lut the audience wa not to de
cide the con teat. This wa re
eerved to Messr. J. N. William-
aon, M. It. Klliott and Judge Bell
who found for the negative.
Wide deciding the inter-eociety
debate the judge were to pick the
team for the high echool debate
with The Dalle. The team se
lected wa Keuhen Itooten, Frank
Laiollette and Luther Moore.
On the whole, the debate this
year allowed a clear gain over last
year. Particularly is this true of
the manner in which the negative
aide wa handled. The team work
wn splendid. The argument

WILL PROSPECT
FOR OIL
Plans have been made to begin
at an early date prospecting for oil
in this vicinity, and the numerous
indications of oil which have been
found in this district will he thor
oughly prospected in order to de
termine whether or not oil exists
here in paying quantities. These
plans have been perfected, and it is
stated that there i sufficient capi
tal behind the enterprise to insure
a thorough investigation of the
various prospects, and actual drill
ing will begin just as soon as suffi
cient leases have been secured up
on the land in the immediate
vicinity of the points where the
first wells will be sunk. Mr. Frank
Forrest, a prominent stockman of
this county, is now engaged in se
curing these leases, which it is
reported are being very generally
signed without any opposition.
It has been known for several
years past that good oil prospects
had been discovered in this section
of Crook county, and several years
ago an option was taken on the
Dave Barnett ranch with a view to
making a thorough investigation
of a prospect found on his place,
but this plan never materialized,
and up until this time there has
not been an effort made to follow
up and test any of these prospects.
These indications of oil have been
found in a territory of consider
able scope, covering practically all
of this end of western Crook
county.
It is the plan of the present
prospectors to sink several deep
wells, preparations having been
made to go to a depth of a thou
sand to fifteen hundred feet. The
leases under which the prospect
ing will be conducted are liberal
in their provisions for the land
owner, whose interests in the land
and in any discovery made upon
it are amply protected. - Among
other provisions in the lease is one

that if no oil ia found in paying
quantities, but water ia found, the
well becomes the property of th
land owner without any cost to
him except the actual cost ot the
casing. If, however, artesian
water found and no oil, the
land owner agreea to purchase ihe
aame at the customary price of a
well drilled to a depth of 600 feet,
irrespective of whether the well
has been drilled to a depth ot 1000
or 2000 feet. And, any rancher in
this district can afford to pay the
price of a 600-foot drilled well to
secure artesian water on his land.
In the event oil is found in paying
quantities, the lease provides for a
royalty of ten per cent to the land
owner, so that in any event he,
the land owner, has his interests
taken care of and cannot but be
benefited by the work done on hia
place. The leases also provide for
an option on the land, at a price
fixed by the owner. Madras Pi-neer.
