LABEL SHORT BOXES
Strawberry Crates Not Up to the
Standard Must be so Marked.

Investigation by Deputy Sealer OF
Weights and Measurers L. L. Bowers
has disclosed the fact that the large
surplus of old standard strawberry
boxes carried over from last year by
the berry growers of Thurston coun-
ty are of the interior capacity of 48
cubic inches. The law requires that
unless berry boxes measure either
67.2 cubic inches or 33.6 cubic inch
es, the same must be labeled in plain
English words or figures with the
correct interior capacity.
Since this old standard box is
about half way between the two and
in order that trouble may be avoided,
Deputy Bowers suggests that these
old style boxes be stamped with a
rubber stamp or stenciled, Contents
4S cubic inches," or that the berries
be sold by the pound, net weight. The
department desires cooperation of
the growers that the best results may
be obtained, but will insist upon
boxes being marked unless up to
standard.

More than satisfied with Thurston

FINE OIL SH0W|NGS
IN CRESCENT WELL
SECONE STRATA OF SANDS ARE
GRO ROSSED--CONSIEE
EXCITEMENT PREVAILS.

The second strata OF oil sands, 80
feet deep, showing oil in much larger
quantities than the first small strata
passed at the 400-foot level, was
struck by the drill of The Crescent
Oil company at the 175-foot level in
it's well near Tenino this week, and
has caused considerable excitement
6 nong those who have been anxiously
watching the progress of the drilling.
There is no longer any doubt
about our well being in real oil
field" is what Emery C. Williamson,
secretary-treasurer of the company,
said after a trip to the we'll Weanes-
day. 1--WE are not going to stop now,
though experienced oil men who are
on the ground say that if we did, and
would prepare the present well for
pumping, we would have a well pro-
ducing from 25 to 100 barrels of oil
a day.
"The drill has struck and gone
through a second strata of oil sand,"
Mr.. Williamson said in telling of the
showing. This was at the 775-foot
level and the sand is 80 feet through
while the first one was only six feet
deep. 1t seems to those of us who
took samples of the sand and floating
oil that this sand contains % times
as much oil as did the first one.
1--WE will have real, commercial
we'll just as soon as we want to put
in a charge Of nitro-glycerine to tear
out cave in this sand SO that the oil
can collect, but we believe that a
little farther down there is oil in
larger quantities, SO we will continue
to drill and will be greatly surprised
if a gusher is not struck. If We ex-
haust our resources before we strike
anything more, we can come back at
any time to this 775-foot level and
make 'pumper' out of the WE'LL"
When drilling was resumed a
shale formation was struck below the
and, after the drill had gone through
four feet of limestone. The company
began drilling February ~, Lincoln's

URGES PEOPLE NOT
TO MAKE MISTAKE
SCHOOL BOARD ISSUES STATE
MIsNT ON PROPOSED PUR-
CHASE OF PLAYGROUND

Calling attention to the fact that
many cities have made the mistake
of failing to secure adequate play
fields while the land was available
and moderate in price," and that "the
citizens of Olympia now have an OPP
portunity to avoid a mistake of that
kind" c. w. Stentz, K. c. Townsend
and Fred w. Stocking, members of
the Olympia school board, have is
sued statement explaining their
proposed purchase of Blocks 2, 13
an Is of Crosby's addition, lying be-
tween Twenty-first, Twenty-fourth,
Washington and Franklin streets,
which will be voted upon at a special
election April z. The board has an
oD ion on this property for $1,000.
The statement says in part: "A
strip on the west side of two of these
blocks has been sold for taxes and to
purchase this strip will require about
$500 more. The board is submitting
to the voters of the school district the
proposition of purchasing this tract
at cost not to exceed $4,000. Should
the voters authorize the purchase,
the land would be used for agricul-
tural demonstrations and as a play
field.
Ground Easily Cleared.
"This ground is quite level and
therefore will not require much grad
ing in order to prepare it for the uses
suggested. 1t will have to be cleared
of underbrush, but there are few
stumps and consequently the clearing
will not be difficult or expensive. The
school board does not intend to spend
any considerable sum in clearing or
improving the tract, but doubtless
much will be done to this end by vol
unteer labor and as rapidly as the
grammar and high school teams are
financially able they will add, under
the supervision of the school board,
bleachers, dressing rooms and even
tually a grand stand, but these i'm
provements will have to be made on
the installment plan. The school
