That float on high today"

STARS AND BARS.

Washington party at Chamber of
Commerce. Rooms decorated in Con-
federate flags and hatchets and cher
ries were in evidence in honor of
Washington's birthday. Guessing con-
tests engaged the young people for
awhile and then they repaired to the
Boy Scout hall, where they danced
the Virginia reel. The girls were in
all in colonial costumes with DOW
dered hair and patches, and it seemed
a scene Of by-gone days as they
tripped in the old fashioned dance.
The chaperones, Misses Lutte Jor-
dan and Alberta Harris and Mrs. J. w.
Mixson, were also in colonial dress
and served refreshments of cream and
cake.
Red, white and blue hatchets were
given as souvenirs.

BIG FREIGHT ENGINE
OVERTURNED TUESDAY
Engineer Kirby and Brakeman GoIdson Were Seriously Injured
Wreck Probably Caused by Spreading RaI-Iniured Men
Carried TO Hospital in Columbia on H.

The engine of through freight No.
ITS, Southern railway, turned over
and rolled down an embankment 10
feet high here Tuesday morning about
10 o'clock. Engineer Robert Kirby and
Brakeman II. l.. Goldson were severely
injured and Conductor Charles Wright
and Fireman Counts escaped without
injury. Conductor Wright and Brake
man Goldson both jumped. The engi-
neer and fireman crawled out of the
overturned cab. That both these were
not scalded nor crushed to death is
miraculous. The brakeman, who was
on the tender, realizing that the en-
gine was turning over, jumped to the
hard roadway below the embankment.

Oil Men At ElkO

Ernest H. Higgins, a chemist. ana
G. E. Holmes. mechanical engineer
have been in Elko for several days
investigating the shale beds south OF
there. They became interested
through samples they had received
for analysis and sre in Elko to salts
fly themselves regarding the extent
of the deposits. Both men have had
practical experience in the shale beds
of Scotland and are familiar with
processes employed in extracting oil.
Higgins states that 10000 barrels OF
of oil can be extracted every day for
100 years. The cost of a reduction
plant is estimated at 100000. 1t is
estimated that the shale will produce
so gallons of oil per ton.
