some places the certain Identification of
the conglomerate is difficult, and this
fact, taken with the lack of adequate
exposures of key rocks, in other areas,
has doubtless caused some errors not
yet recognized in the drawing of the con-
tour lines.
Each township is separately described
and the structure of the rocks is treated
in detail, the author telling where the
anticlines and domes, or structural
"highs," are located. Every outcrop is
so described and the elevations are so
given that anyone can go over the field
and see on just what evidence the struc-
ture was determined.
OF the three favorable factors, which,
combined, determine the location of an
oil pool--Q) an anticline, (2) good
open sand, and (3) the right height on
the anticline with reference to salt wa
ter in the porous sand-only one, the
anticline, can be determined ahead of
drilling. Hence, even if oil and gas oc-
cur in this region they may not be
found in every place where the struc-
ture alone is favorable.

BETHEL.
High School Prize-Speaking Contest Was
Very Interesting.

Eight students OF the Whiteomb high
school provided an excellent entertain

the annual prizc-speaking contest OF
that school. A good audience was pres
ent. The judges were Principal William
Hebard of South Royalton, Superintend-

second, $3.50 in gold, to Victoria w.
Morse. "Ben Buffers Last Race" from
"The Bishop of Cottontown"; third, 81
in silver, to Leonard W. Fish, "The Old
South and the New" from Henry w.
Grady's address to New Englanders.
The contestants did well and the task
of the Judges was difficult one. The

FAVORABLE FOR INDICATING.
Government Oil Geologist Indicates the
Promising Areas in Oklahoma.

The discovery in recent years of oil
ira, and Burkburnett pools, in Texas,
and less than six months ago of the
| Healdton pool, in Oklahoma, has aroused
great interest in the southwestern part
of Oklahoma and north-central Texas.
In view of the fact that other oil pools
of equal Importance win undoubtedly be
! found in intervening areas, the United
States Geological Survey, in cooperation
with the Oklahoma Geological Survey, is
doing geologic work in advance of drill
ing with the purpose of helping locate
areas favorable for wild eating" The
results of this work will be looked for
with unusual interest by the general
public. The first work of this kind was
done late in 1912 in the area known as
the Grandfeld district, in the southeast
ern corner of Tillman and the south
western part of Cotton counties, Okla,
Just north of the Burkburnett oil and
gas field OF Texas. The field work for
this investigation was done by NJ. j.
Mum, of the United States Geological
Survey. The geology was studied and
the structure of the rocks was deteg-
mined by obtaining spirit-leyel eleva-
tions on a set of rock strata called the
Anger eonglomerate lentil The results
of this work are set forth by Mr.. Mum
in report Just published by the United
States Geological Survey as bulletin SAT.
A map accompanying the report, besides
showing the streams. section lines, roads,
houses, towns, and railroads, represents
the geology by coIored patterns and in
dieates the structure of the rocks by
contours lines of equal elevation.
These contours represent the elevations
of the Anger conglomerate lentil when
that set of beds was continuous, in by
gone ages, before it was worn and car
ried away from much of the region by
eroding waters. Both major and minor
structural features, as far as they could
be determined, are shown. The major
features thus indicated are the Devol
anticline, along which seem to lie the
most favorable places for "wildcatting.
and the Deep Red Run syncline. In

W ANTLAW ENFORCEMENT
Accidents Of Last Few Weeks Cause
Citizens to Cooperate With
Police, Protecting Public.
OFFICERS TO ARREST vIOLAroRs

Recent automobile accidents have
created considerable street comment,
which seem to favor strongly the
enforcement of the state laws regu-
lating car driving. Although no
blame has been placed upon those
who have been unfortunate in meet
ing with accidents the sentiment
is decidedly in favor of law enforce
.ment in every detail
The state law prohibits driving
faster than ten miles an hour in
business sections and fifteen miles
an hour in resident sections. Ex-
sceeding this speed for, a distance of
more than a quarter of a mile is
breaking the law and the driver is
subject to a fine. fzS,Szz ~
Drivers, according to the state
law, must slow up at crossings and
sound their signals and must not
drive faster than six miles an hour
when crossing. They must keep to
the right side of the street at all
times and TURN corners at right
angles. They are also cautioned in
driving too close to the curb. They
should keep just little to the right
of the center of the streets allowing
the slow going vehicles such as teams
to occupy the extreme right.
Efforts are being made to- have
,tiiis--l assereafefeed Ais~eityy lit .-be-
ing favored by automobile owners
as well as pedestrians. Persons
crossing the streets other than at
the regular crossings are warned to
be careful. .rs
Chief of Police Frank Lane stated
this morning that his men have been
instructed to make arrests wherever
the law is violated. "This will be
done regardless Of whom it may hit"
said Mr.. Lane :. .~s..

KING COLE GREAT SUCCESS
Last Evenings Presentation of Musi-
cal Extravaganza Even More Sue
cessful Than the First Two.
MISS HYLAND HIGHLY PRAISED

''The Court Of King Cole,' as #
was presented last night, was even
more successful than the production
Of Monday and Tuesday nights, and
the large audience which completely
filled the Brinkman theatre, showed
it's appreciation by the continual aD-
plause during the entire perform
ance.
The production which was staged
at the Brinkman on Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday nights, for the
benefit of the guild of the Episcopal
church,, was in the opinion of those
who saw the performances, the best
local talent entertainment ever put
or n Bemidji.
The opening scene was a bank of
pretty girls and good looking youag
men that represented the youth and
beauty, and the talent as we'll, of Be-
midi, appropriately placed in a stag
setting that called forth praise; an
entertainment wherein good music,
catchy songs, philosophic speeches
and wit and repartee flowed like
sparkling wine, rich costumes and
make-ups that enabled the wearers
to impersonate the characters of the
earliest literature and lore of the
American child, and a plotful, breezy
play that carried every man and wo-
man 1T the audience back to child
hoods happy hours, all combined to
make the musical extravaganza an
amusement long to be remembered
by everyone who sat in the Brink
man and with essed performance
whose every part was meritorio1,s
and praiseWorthy. 1t was success
without a flaw
OF the nearly one hundred char
acters, whether principal or minor
every one was perfectly portrayed
and while each one is deserving O.
equal praise, much credit must b.
given Miss Mable Hyland, the Be
midji soloist. Miss Hyland was en-
abled to use her unusual voice t.
the utmost of her power and took ad
vantage of every opportunity to dis
play her dramatic and musica
ability.
