CLIMBED TO THE SUMMIT

Folsom. n. NJ, July N-Prof Gould's 5
irrigation party camped last Sunday in the
shadow of an extinct volcano at the head
of the Cimarron river. near Falsom, New
Mexico. Several members of the party
climbed one of these old volcanoes, Mt.
Capalma, Saturday. It's about 1000 feet
is more than $500 feet above sea level.
The mountain is dome shaped-a smooth
cinder cone-and near the top is the old
crater, 800 feet deep, with steeply sloping
sides. From the top of the peak a number
of smaller volcanoes, each with crater.
may be seen scattered about over the
plain.
In former times terrific eruptions have
taken place from these volcanoes. In one
place sheet of lave so miles long, 10 wide
and several hundred feet thick has been
elected. In another instance the soft mol
ten lava flowed down the canyon of the
Cimarron for 20 miles, leaving a deposit
sometimes 100 feet thick. The lava can be
traced along the canyon TO its head and
out on tne pam aiiA AiSht NP ~
the foot of the volcano six miles out on
the plain
For nearly 100 miles the CimaIron river
flows in a canyon cut out of the Dakota
sandstone. This is the same sandstone
that forms the hills of Saline and Ellis
worth counties, Kas., and projects as a
bold shoulder out into the Arkansas val
lev at Pawnee Rock Along the uphill
CImarron this sandstone forms steep hills,
OUTLYING buttes and extensive mesas with
deep gorges and canyons. For nearly lo1
miles between the river flows through
region of this character.
All the water on the uphill Cimarron Is
used for irrigation. bitches occur every
few miles In fact much more water
could be used than the river will supply.
There are numerous localities throughout
the region where reservoirs might be con-
structed to collect food waters.
There is sufficient rain fall in the region
to raise crops if it could all be applied
when needed.
The party will cross the divide to the
hes dwaters of the South Canadian this
week and make next Sundays camp at
Ration. From that point they will work
down the South Canadian river through
New Mexico. across the panhandle OF
Texas and into Oklahoma.

the road. Mr.. Scanlan was inside the
barge and uninjured, but Mr.. Wilson
had fallen in such manner that his
head was caught by the rim of the high
side of the barge and cash several
inches long was made across the back
of his head Had it not been for the
brace on the front of the barge that ex-
tended above the frame and kept II from

Blackwell. o. T., July 1.-THE News
says: Wellington is now trying 10 slide
in on BlackwelIs street fair dates, the
first week in September. Last year Well
ington and Wichita confiicted with each
other on dates, and Wellington suffered
in consequence thereof. This year Black
well selected her carnival dates the first
week in September. She announced this
date over two months ago, and has been
contracting for attractions for that week
Within the past few days Wellington has
arrived at the conclusion that she wants
the first week in September for her street
fair and carnival and has magnanimously
asked Blackwell to change her dates
As Blackwell was the first to select
the dates. she viii not change them,
regardless OF the fact that many of the
citizens of Blackwell would like 70 take
in Wellington's carnival provided it did
not conflict with the dates of the carni-
val here at home. Blackwell is going to
have a record-breaker in the way of
street fairs this year, and she isn't going
to lay the date aside for anybody.
