agricultural section of the hall makes |
a very crditable showing. The fancy

The parade by the school children
and the floats by the school were very j
interesting and were greatly enjoyed j
by everyone.
Four running races will be run each
day; some of the best gallopers of the |
country are here and are taking part |
in each day’s events. Horses are here
from Minnesota, South Dakota and*
various points in Nebraska.

GIVEN AN OVATION
A large gathering of democrats
from this section of the United States
were in Omaha last Tuesday to meet
their presidential candidate, Governor
A1 Smith, of New York, open his cam
paign for the presidency. The address
of Governor Smith was a disappoint
ment to many of his admirers who ex
pected him to be able to present his
stand on the issues of the compaign
in a creditable manner.
Many of those who were listening
in on the radio were equally disap
pointed as the major portion of his
speech was a tirade of the republican
party but the governor offered no ade
quate relief for the ills complained of.
In reply to the eight questions sub
mitted to him by the businessmen of
Omaha Governor Smith utterly failed:
in answering practically every question!
submitted to him; the only definitej
reply made thereto was in answer to
the question asked him on the liquor'
traffic; to which the governor in sub
stance replied that he believed that
each community should be allowed to
govern themselves in relation to in
toxicating liquor. (Advocating the old
states rights question which was set

retary of the Chamber of Commerce,
Sioux City, and J. A. Murphy, geolo
gist and consulting engineer of the;
Helmeriek & Payne Oil company of |
Tulsa, Oklahoma. Mr. Murphy stated
that indications are very favorable
for oil in the “Ghost Light’’ district |
as the formations are the same as in
Oklahoma and Texas where oil has
been discovered. He intends to stay
in this vicinity for a time in order to
survey the district more thoroughly.

which was composed mostly of Sioux
City people. Oil from these wells are
being carried to Muskogee through a
six inch pipe line for a distance of
twelve miles where it is beirtg mar

along the oil lines. A number of
Sioux City and Norfolk business men
are backing the venture in a financial
way and with the moral support of
O’Neill the project will be completed.
