TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.

Fred Wrighten, Well Known In Dodge
City, Committed Suicide Tuesday.
Fred Wrighten, son Of MIR. and Mrs.
Chas. Wrighten Of this place, was found
10 the telephone shauty at the east end
of the Santa Fe yards yesterday morning,
with the entire back portion Of his head
blown off He had been dead since some
time the day before, but no one had
happened to enter the room, so that the
terrible discovery was not made until
Conductor Kohr stopped there at between
500 and 400 o'clock Wednesday morn
Ing to phone In for orders. The tele-
phone room is only a little place about
four feet by FIVE, and the body Of Fred
Wrlghten partially barricaded the door,
90 that the conductor had to force bis
way 10. A shot gun lay beside the dead
man. Both barrels Of the gun had besn
discharged. On the door also was found
stick which had been trimmed out
with two crotches Just the right distance
apart so that both triggers Of the gun
could be sprung at once with It. II ap-
peared plain case Of suicide.
The sheriff was nstiAed and later went
to the scene In company with the coroner
and after examining the bedy aad the

he was compelled to quit work tsmporl

will BE Held in Dodge to Explain Big
Arkansas Valley Scheme
The great project which is being much
talked about all er the country lust
now for developing the A kansas Valley
is to take definite form from now on.
A meeting will be held in Dodge
City on next Thursday evening at 1880
o'clock, to discuss tue matter from this
end of the line. Mr.. Huit, represe nting
the Northern Electric Company Of
Madison, Wisconsin, will be present
to explain the purposes Of the project and
to talk over plans for its accomplish.
ment.
A big meeting was held in Pueblo on
Saturday April Is, attended by many
representatives of the Arkansas Valley.
g. L Wing, of Dodge City was present
representing the commercial club OF this
place.
The project, as has been stated, in this
paper before, is to establish an immense
power plant in Colorado, near Canon
City, from which TO run au electric cur.
rent Tor operating railroad lines from
There to Dodge City, for lighting cities
along the way and pumping water. The
longest distance that electricity lines are
extended at present is about 200 miles
Ii too much force is lost in the trans.
mission, supplemental station would be
put In. The project IS of such immense
proportions that 1t is attracting much
attention.
AT this end OF the line there is DOS
sibility of the old Soule ditch proposition
being taken up In connection with II.
Eugene Ware, who was through here
recently and who is interested in the
Souie ditch, is said to be very favorably
impressed with the electric power pro-
ject.
1t is believed that the movement will
be thoroughly organized within a few
weeks time.

and ought to have distilled abundan
quantities ofoil, provided the thickness
Of the deposit was sufficient.
All modern authorities on geology
agree that the first land to appear above
water in north America, except smal
surface toward the north pole, was the
Ozark mountains In Missouri. The
Rocky mountains appeared above the
surface much later. For ages Kansas
was vast lnland 'ea. Eastern Kansas
was formed by land washing down from
the OzArks Western Kansas was formed
much later by land washing down from
the Rockies. This section WAS one oil
last to fill up. The sea remained here
much longer than elsewhere, giving more
time for the depositof sea mud and the
accumulation OF vegetation therein, and
thus longer period for the formation Of
what is known as oil bearing shale. The
line where the surface OF the formation
that came down from the Ozarks and the
formation that came down from the
Rockies meet, is definitely known to ge.
ol0gisis as certainly as any other fact Is
known. Knowing this, then 1t Is not
difficult to say where the, deeper shale
beds ought to be found.
In verificaron of the proposition that
the deeper shale beds are to be found in
this district the log of we'll drilled at
Dodge City many years ago is cited.
This we'll was abandoned at between 900
and 1000 feet on account of having ruined
the drive pipe by careless driving. The
log of this we'll shows: l99 feet soil, and
and gravel; l foot cong nslomerate rock;
200 feet shale; s feet sand stone. 1S0 feet
shale; 8 feet sand stone. Tie remainder
of the well. at least 300 feet was shale. 1t
was abandoned in shale. This log shows
a deposit of about 700 feet of shale with
only IL feet of Intervening sand stone
strata. How much deeper the shale rans
is unknown. Tbrouhgout most Of this
territory the ,shale comes to, or almost to
the surface instead of being reached at
200 feet below as in the we'll drilled,
making the depth of the shale about 900
feet at least. II oil is 1ot found under so
deepla deposit of oili bearing shale 1t
will be something unusual. In the In
diana and Ohio oil fields the shale is sell
dom over 500 or 6OO feet deep. In the
oil fields about Chanute and Neodesha In
this state the shale Is about the sane
doplh but is separated by numerous
strata ofsand stone.
In addition to all of the geological
reasons why this should be a valuable oil
field, evidences Of oil have been found
frequently all through the settlement of
the county. Ordinary wells have been
abandoned because the water was spoiled
by oil. A great deal of the shale tested
has oil enough in 1t to cause 1t to burn.
The state geologist and other authorities
have been firm In the belief that the
northward from Dodge City is a
rich oil field. These matters were gone
over in this paper back in 1909, when the
question WAS up, but many who are here
now, were noG here then. Those who
will take the trouble to study the geo.
logical facts Of this part OF the country
will soon become enthusiastic In the pro-
position OF thorough search for oil and

Last Year

1t is reported from the southwest por-

have been very heavy, several inches OF
waterfalllng. Every where excepting a
small portion north of the river has had
good showers 80 far as can be learnd.
At Dodge City where the showers were
much lighter than south of here there
has been about an inch and half of rains
fall during the past week. The records
Of the bureau here show, that for tho
first four months OF the year, the present
year has had nearly three times as much

FORESTRY IN JAPAN.

While this country is struggling with
the problem of protecting its forests
from complete destruction, and of i'm
proving the waterways, it is interest

the tree so that scarcely a twig is
wasted, and by the Improvement of the
growth of their forests by carefully
conducted thinning and tending. The
woods are first thinned at the age of
thirteen years. and then every five
years after that up to the time of the
final harvest, at f20 years
