Goes to War and
 Mission Gets Dog

NEW YORk-Because his mas ter went to war as a reservist. Mi. chael, faithful dog, had to be sold. AS result the New York di- ocesan branch of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, at 464 Madison avenue, is $50 the rich CT and Michael has a good home. The money received by the sale of the dog is to be used for the ben eft of the natives of the Solomon islands. The story of Michael and his sale was told by Manager John J. Dunn, director of the local branch of the society. He said:
 People with heart to understand how warm and deep is the affection which a dog can win and keep will not be too critical of the man who parted in tears from his dog Michael One of our good friends had to part with the animal because he joined the reservsts in his native town. So, to make. certain that the dog would have his day, and good one at that, the owner handed the dOs over to us. with the request that he be sold. provided that he would guarantee Michael a good home and the tenderest of core.
 We agreed to all the conditions, and we made ready to receive the dog, which we supposed was one of those toy animals that can readily nestle in huff or coat pocket
 ITO our consternaton. we found that Michael was a big dog, and with a countenance that threatened disaster Michael was chained to a post in the subcellar of the Cathed ral college.
 Here, before he did great deal of damage, we bargained with sev- eral friends to take him oc the prem ises. Through Michael we have gained $50.

cred in the Ashland and Lithia parks
Monday and enjoyed a Fourth of
July celebration which was as enjoy
able as it was unique A big picnic
dinner and band concerts were sub
stituted for the usual dusty parade
and noisy fireworks Brief speeches
were made by c. B. Watson, Mayor
Johnson, Prof. Larimore and b. r.
Greer. Two thousand out-of-town
people visited the park during the
day and everybody enjoyed a most
sensible celebration. In the evening
one hundred and fifty couples en-
ioyed the big dance at the Natator-
ium. The wonderful progress which
has been made in the park work was
the cause for unlimited favorable
comment. About three hundred cars
were parked in the auto camp
grounds during the course of the day.
Every available spot along the mile
of creek in the park was occupied by
a picnic party.

Fire Excitement
Causes Death

Fire at Cold Hill Friday afternoon
destroyed the undertaking parlors of
A. E. Kellogg, former county coroner,
entailing q property loss of $4,000,
partially covered by insurance, and
was incidental to the death of r. T..
King, manager Of the Home Tele-
phone Company. During the excite
ment attendant upon the blaze Mr..
King was stricken with heart failure
and never revived Caskets were de-
stroyed and damaged.
The origin of the fire is believed to
have been from the spontaneous COM
bustion of chemicals kept in the un-
dertaking parlors.
The undertaking parlors adjoin the
telephone office, and King was busy
packing out apparatus, ETC., when he
fell to the sidewalk. 1t was at first
thought he had tainted. Medical as
sstance was called. King had long
been subject to fainting spells.

Wells More Than a Mile Deep.

The deepest we'll in the world is in
upper Silesia, in the German empire.
1t is a diamond-drill hole in a coal
field and is 1850 feet deep. A well
in the United States which may go
deeper, according to the United
States Geological Survey, is four
miles northwest of Mcdonald, Pa,
and about fifteen miles west of Pitts
burgh This well, which is being sunk
to the Medina sandstone-a bed that
elsewhere contains oil and gas-ls
now 7.174 feet deep. Some gas and
oil were struck in the upper part OF
the we'll. Between the depths Of
$3.50 and 7,100 feet rocks bearing
rock salt and salt water were encoun-
tered These are regarded as of Sa-
lima age, the same as those carrying
rock salt in western New York. The
temperature in this well at the depth
of .6.775 feet. as recently determined
with great accuracy, is 1883 degrees
Fahrenheit.
At Derrick City, Mexican county,
Pa, near Bradford, there is a well
$500 feet deep, which is probably the
second deepest we'll in the United
States. Another deep we'll is on
Slaughter creek, Kanawha county, w.
Va: it is 5,595 feet deep. 1t pene-
trated a sandstone at 5000 to $3.50
feet, and from this depth to the bot
tom. a distance of 545 feet, the well
Is in limestone. Near West Eliza
beth. Pa, there is another well 5,575
feet beneath the surface, penetrating
into black shale. Another deep
we'll is being drilled at Gaines, Pa
This has already reached a depth OF
$500 feet. Deep well drillers in this
country of course employ the most i'm
proved and effective rigs, but one Of
the most remarkable of wells, reach
ing depth of $500 feet, was drilled
for petroleum in western China by
means of such crude appliances as
cable made of twisted strands OF rat
tan.

Says Lake Beyond
Any Description

Governor Withycombe, who visited
Crater Lake recently after a trip
through eastern Oregon, paid the fol-
lowing tribute to the greatest wonder
of the west in an interview for the
Salem Statesman:
Although ! have been in Oregon
more than forty years, this was my
first view of Crater Lake; but if
have my way it will not be the last.
Much as / have heard Of the lake, !
never fully realized until now what
a magnificent asset it ls Truly there
is nothing in all the west that can
compa@ with It, 1t is scenic gem
beyond value and certainly beyond
description. When went there my
expectations were high and they were
not only met but even surpassed by
what / saw. Crater Lake deserves
everything that has been said of it
and a great deal more-that is the
highest encomium / can give"
