MANY FARMERS EXPECTED HERE FROM NEBRASKA Central Western States Expect- ed to Send Many Immi- grants During Fall CHEAP LANDS ARE LURE Considerable interest is being man- ifested by farmers in Iowa, Nebas- ka, Kansas and other central western states in the low prices of North Dakota farm lands, according to in- formation received daily by Dr. John Worst, state commissioner of immi- gration, who has a number of agents in various part of these states in- fluencing farmers there to move to North Dakota. Many inquiries are received daily as to prices, location and character of farms in this state Dr, Worst said today. and his department immediate- ly mails to such prospective settlers descriptions of farm lands in (North Dakota available for purchase. Dr, Worst said that the agents in the different fields have assured him there will be a number of farmers from various localities in middle west- ern states visiting North Dakota, this fall with a view of buying land here and moving to North Dakota in the winter. . “Some of the field men are even) talking about bringing coach loads of farm seekers to ‘North Dakota in the fallj’ said Dr. Worst. “I am ; sure this publicity campaign we are putting on in those states where farm lands are very high priced: will re- sult in bringing to North Dakota a high type of farmer. “On those middle western farms are men paying annual rentals as much and in excess of what they ‘ could buy splendid farm land in North Dakota. It is this type of farmer we are appealing to and I am positive our campaign will soon be bearing fruit. During the month of March, 300 families came and_ settled on North Dakota farm lands, according to figures furnished me by the rail- road companies. While it would be an untruth to claim that these 300 families came to ‘North Dakota through the efforts of our department, yet I am sure some of them did and as time goes on the number that j are directly influenced by our efforts will continue to grow.” BIDDY GETS A SIx- DAY FREE EXCURSION BRIDGHPORKT, Conn. — When a freight car was opened here a hen strutted forth cackling.

JOHNSON, Director ‘ Minot, North Dakota, April 29th, 1920. Mr. A. C. Knudtson, 920 Ave. B., Bismarck, N. Dak. Dear Mr. Knudtson:— In reply to your inquiry of recent date, I am glad to be able to inform you that you are a stockholder in the greatest well in North Dakota. You undoubtedly know that the Des Lacs Western Oil Company is a North Dakota corporation, incorporated for 275,000 shares, “all common stock and non-assessable.” We are operating under the so-called Blue Sky Laws of the State of North Dakota having fulfilled the requirements of the State Banking Board. In com- plying with.this law it is mandatory that we file sworn statements with the .State Bank Examiner quarterly, and under a ruling of-the State Banking Board we are required to file copies of all advertising and publicity used by us in the sale of our stock in the said State Bank Examiners office. You will also be interested to hear that some _ thirty or forty of: the stockholders have pooled their interests placing their stock.in the hands of a trustee, and that they control’51% of thestock which has been issued. This was done for the purpose of keeping con- trol of the Company so that the large interests cannot come in and pick up the controlling stock and freeze out the Minority share-holders. It has and will be our aim to protect the interests of all those who have.in- vested their money with us. In the autumn of 1916 while drilling for water on “Blum Ranch”, oil was encountered under an im- pervious sand-rock capping at 234 feet. On the strength of this discovery the Des Lacs Western Oil Company was organized. Application was made and we were granted the right to sell stock in North Da- kota. impervious capping at a lower depth, oil was again en- countered. The Company then employed the services of Wm. R. Jewell, Mining Engineery former Geologist and Mining Expert for the U. S. Department of the In- terior, noted and known as an able petroleum Geolo- gist. After making a survey of our holdings and cov- ering practically. 1,500 miles of ground in his research work this Geologist located our Anti-cline and Dome Structures and advised us to DRILL for oil or gas or both, on Blum Ranch. We then called in the two North Dakota State..Geologists who rechecked our field and who absolutely concurred with Mr. Jewell as to Anti- cline and Dome Structures, and: on their advices we sunk five additional test wells and by our seven test wells we absolutely proved that our Geologists are right. We have a structure running over and across the “Blum Ranch” which dips 3 degrees and 34 minutes to the southwest and 3 degrees and 35 minutes to the northeast, as proven by the survey made by W. F. Get- tlemen who is a competent Civil Engineer and who has seen considerable service in the employ of our Govern- ment. The chart furnished to us by our Civil Engi- neer proves that we have a structure which has been thrown up by gas pressure approximately 327 feet to the mile, and this chart further proves that we are op- erating within a quarter of a mile of the very apex or center of the Anti-cline or Dome Structure. The Des Lacs, Western Oil Company now con- trols more than 100,000 acres of Oil and Gas Rights in the State of North Dakota on which we have reason to believe that we have seven or eight Dome Struc- tures. We hold a 920 acre lease located thirty or forty miles from proven production in Rosebud County, Mon- tana. We hold Oil, Gas and Mineral Leases on ap- proximately 2,000 acres on the Bowdoin Dome. We also hold options on 10,000 additional acres on the Bowdoin Dome located in Phillips and Valley Counties, Montana. Besides this we have a twenty year natural gas franchise which has been granted to us by the City of Minot. All of our lease holdings and property controlled by this Company belongs to the stock-holders and their stock participates in each and every acre. “Blum Well” reached a depth of 3,100 feet be- fore operations ceased on account of cold weather last fall. Work is now going forward again and we know that we have heavy crude oil but on account of shift- ing a string of casings it is impossible for us to state the amount of oil yet but from the samples of heavy crude oil which has; been taken off the slushings, we now feel that we have every reason to believe that when the drill penetrates the Sands, which we are about to enter, that we will not only make good but that we will encounter production on a large scale. Our State Geologist estimates the Dakota Sand-stone to be approximately 300 feet in thickness in Ward County. This formation is known to be one of the largest oil bearing formations in the northwest. We are still offering a small block of stock at $5.00 per share but with the splendid showing of oil that we now have, stock will not remain on the mar- ket long. fl Remember our slogan is “A square deal to all.” If we win, you win with us, and I now sincerely be- lieve that we not only stand ninety-nine chances out of a hundred of proving North Dakota an oil field but that we will bring in a big “Gusher.” Yours very truly, DES LACS WESTERN OIL COMPANY.
