The work done has been in the high
est degree satisfactory. The general
geology OF the territory has been
studied in nearly every county. at
tcntion having been paid TO building
stones, clays. salt beds and deposits Of
gypsum. The water supply and tim
Der areas have also been investigated
In so far rs the time permitted. A &c.
illogical map will be prepared by Prof.
Gould, showing the location Of the va
rious products. A report will be made
to the governor, which will be Of gen.
cral interest to the citizens of the ter
ritory. A number Of fossil localities
have been discovered and large collec-
tions rent to the state museum at the
university. Tho most Of the fossils
came from the ledge Of petrified oyster
shell which is found In various parts Of
Woodward. Dewey, Custer, Washita
and Roger Mills counties. Fossils were
also discovered In the upper Red beds
in lodges which had heretofore been
supposed to be devoid of animal re-
mains. When these have been identi.
fed they will do much toward settling
one OF the most vexing questions OF
western geology, the age Of the Red
beds. This immense area of rock,
which covers really all Of Oklahoma as
we'll as large areas in Kansas, Texas
aud the Indian Territory, consists
throughout Of red clay, shale and red
! sandstone. In the western part OF the
territory, where it attains its greatest
thickness, IL Is nearly 1000 feet thick.
But few fossils have ever been found
in IL and these were Of such unsatis-
factory character as to throw little
/ light upon the age OF the formation.
During the past summer four new To-
calitics have been found, from which
fossils have been collected, and all al
different geological levels.

THE ONE MEDICINE

In the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesscs which afflict their delicate or
ganism spring from inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining and Pe-ru.na
Is specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. Any congestion Of mucous
membrane simply means catarrh of the
organ affected. This Is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts of troubles where other
remedies fail. II there Is a catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe-ru-na will cure you.
