WORK IN GEOLOGY
University Curriculum Aids in Devel-
opment of Oklahoma.


Norman O. T. Nov. 1S.-The work in
geology this fan at the university is GER
tainly doing mue' in tee development Of
Oklahoma. For the past three years
Prof Gould has kept from one TO three
parties of men in the field every sum
mer making careful and scientific exam
fnation of the great natural resources IN
which the territory abunds. Last sum-
nner there were three of these parties
out OF there Prof. Could, together with
three of his students made up party
and spent the entire summer in the field
in the interest of the United States de-
partment of Hydrography-
On this trip the party followed the
chief rivers of the territory to their
source and made careful investigation
of the question of wter supply and posi-
bilities for irrigation. The states of Colo
rado, Texas, Kansas and the two terri
tories Of New Mexico and Western Ok
lahoma were all examined with regard
60 these questions.
In September the party disbanded and
returned to the University and since that
time Prof Gould has been preparing
careful detailed report of the work Gone
by them in this field Ii is therefore
with great relief that he completed this
task today and mailed his report to Mr..
F II. Newell, chief engineer Of the
United States geological survey.
This report deals with the problem OF
water supply and irrigation and is pre-
pared especially with a viey toward Civ
ing the government information that can
be had upon the general possibilities OF
irrigation il this section of the country.
Dealing as it does with subjects that
are of so much interest TO the ter. itory
and coming as it docs from the resi- 'eHt
United States hydrographer # the terri
tory the publication of this report as
well as the action Of the department is
swaited with much interest by the peo-
pie of the territory.
