eee eS ee ee MONDAY, MAY 16, 1927; ; ETHEL : Thousands ‘Visit Robinson Sunday (Continued from from page one) hele money is safe and his notes are ood, During his talk Townley made fre- ‘quent sarcastic references to his itwhile political opponents, the IVA. getting an occasional titter from the crowd, He closed his ad- dress by sayin, 5 that if he talked Jonger he woul inevitably get into a discussion of political subjects, but later told the Associated Press that he has no interest in politics and does not intend to resume the politi- cal activity which made him famous. Instead he intends to stick to the oil business in an effort to make him- self and his friends rich. The immediate future of the Rob- 7 inson project is in doubt, he said, He} ¥ doesn’t know whether he will imme- diately resume drilling in an effort to bring in a commercially productive well or let it rest a while. The hp) of oil is a little low now, he This week will be spent in m gome of the machinery back from the hole and when this is accomplished he will know what his next step will be, he said. He said he intends to advise with some of his friends re- garding the future policy of the drilling project. _ Asked concerning the reason for reviving the Nonpartisan League cus- tom of holding a big meeting instead of going ahead and bringing in the well and letting commercial produc- tion of oil be its own evidence of his success, Townley said his friends had waited so long for news Rebar his project that he wanted to cal them in and show them what he had. Asked regarding the location of his Kansas property which he described as being of great potential value, Townley said he would prefer not to discuss that subject. Meets: His Solicitors Following the meeting Townle: held a meeting with his “drivers, “the men who covered the state in au- tomobiles raising money for him nearly two years ago. le said he merely advised with them what to do with regard to continuing the effort to bring in a well at Robinson. This conference lasted an hour and during its course Townley is said to have declared that he doesn’t propose to ask “these people” for another dol- lar. In the event that h@ needs money to carry on the project he can easily obtain it by selling leases, forming a stock company or other means, he told the Associated Press, and de- clared that many persons who loaned him money have said they will ‘will- ingly double the loan, Among the visitors to the drilling ite during the day were Senator -Gerald P. Nye, Cooperstown, and Lieut. Gov. Walter Maddack, ‘Plaza.

Whether or not it shall continue to have this distinctiot} depends very largely on the attitude the people take toward the conser- vetion of the water resources of the state. ) When the glacier retreated to the noith from the region north and east of the Missouri river it left a serics 1 of rolling hills and moraines thickly * interspersed with thousands of lakes and sloughs. The lakes vary. . from ponds, only a few yards in diameter, to Devils Lake which is, or was, about thirty miles in length. These lakes were the summer home of countless numbers of ducks, geese, swans, cranes and other waterfowl. Many ‘of the ducks still spend their summers with us. Geese, swans ard cranes aré now here only during migration, Since’ North Dakota has been set- tled, much of the prairie land has been turned into grain fields. Water which before ran off into the lakes Tu now sinks. into the mellow was, of course, inevitable but to make matters worse some of the lakes were mechanically drained. Doubtless some of the Nas lake bot- have proven to be go but in many cases seer. not worth the cost of Graining, and the _ lakes were lost to the people.

In times past Iowa drained many of her lakes. Since this has been done the ground water level bas dropped nineteen feet, The peopl have now decided that their rema ing lakes are more valuable than any land that could be used after drain- ing them.
