action in refusing to create third reg

The meeting which was called to
consider the crisis caused i1y the war, :"
incidentally branched into discussion
y Of plans for the campaign next summer.
Governor Blease, in the last of three
speeches. declared that the winning Of
the political war in 1918 almost was as
important as the defeating of Germany.
Members present were warned by the

called to consider its part in war, and

bitter in it's assertions that Bleaseites
were not permitted TO attend the Off

the finger Of the governor was used in

Petroleum in Central Wyoming.

The petroleum resources of central
Wyoming have engaged the attention of
many since the days of Captain Bonnie
ville's travels in the last century, when
he described for the first time some of
the tar springs of that region. Definite
information as to the situation OF the
rock folds that are favorable to the ac-
emulation of oil in this region is given
in a report just issued by the U. S.
geological survey, department of the in
terror. This report contains an account
of the oil-bearing formations in central
Wyoming. and points out the formations
most likely to contain petroleum, such
as the Frontier, with its important Wall
creek and Peay sandstone members,
which are the productive sands in the
most noted commercial oil fields of Wy
oming. The report describes more than
20 anticlinal folds and notes whether the
prospects that they may contain petrole.
um are favorable or unfavorable
Large sums have been spent in pros
necting in this region, but much of it
has been wasted in unlikely plates, and
It is believed that wells properly To-
Gated would perhaps yield oil in CONNER
rial quantities. The places where the
most promising oil sands are concealed
in antillinal folds are pointed out in the
final discussion.

LEAK" LOOSES
MANY TONGUES
Many Witnesses Are to Be
Heard This Week in
Leak Inquiry

Washington, Jan. s.--There is rather
iudicrous situation with the House rules
committee over the peace note leak. Rep
resentative Gussie Gardner of Massachu
sets Saturday appeared to be holding
the committee captive He has yigor'
otpsly pre- empted the great advertising
opportunities of Chairman Henry and OF
that would be European traveller, Thorn
as Lawson of Boston. Mr.. Gardeners paid
press agent is working like Turk dis
tributing copy to the newspaper offices
Mr.. Gardner also now has counsel from
New York, who is rushing before the
committee to aid it in scrutinizing and
analyzing. And then there is Mr.. Gard
ner himself. He devoted much of his
time Saturday to the committee, telling
its members what the duty OF the House
and of the committee was, and showing
how all signs point unfailingly to a
1eak." The committee seemed unable to
shake Mr.. Gardner and probably will not
so long as the press agent and the coun-
sci and Mr.. Gardner himself are hale and
hearty.
Most of the witnesses who apparently
should have something to say are willing
and eager for chance. They will be
heard early this week. at which time
probably the public win have some OPP
portunity to judge for itself how much
real buncombe there is in this proceed
ing.
There was industry Saturday at the
capitol particularly on the House side,
where the agricultural appropriation bill
was under consideration. Tariff talk has
nearly subsidized at that end of the cap
itol, but Democratic leaders are convers-
ing much about ways of augmenting in
ternal revenues. Representatives are not
attending the sessions of the House at all
steadily, but business there is progress
ing rapidly. The Senate. on the other
hand, is dallying along. There was more
wrangling over the Daniels nomination
for interstate commerce commissioner.
The completion of appropriation bills by
Senate committees will speed up activ-
ities there.
Representative Treadway's proposition
for an appropriation for 40-foot chan
mel in Boston harbor was approved by
the House rivers and harbors committee
Saturday. The committee favored a
100000 project from president roads to
the sea.

WHISKEY KILLS
LITTLE GIRL IN
BIDDEFORD, ME.
Bottle Found by Children and Youngest
Drinks Some-Doctor's
Efforts Vain.

Biddeford, Me-, Jan. s.--A bottle OF
whiskey found by the four children of
Mr.. and Mrs. Elonoe Quillette, in their
home on Elm street, was responsible for
the death of their FIVE year-old daughter,
Germaine.
While the parents were at work in the
cotton mills Friday afternoon the chill
dren discovered the bottle behind the
trunk and Germaine, the youngest, drank
considerable quantity of it. When her
parents reached home she was found on
the floor unconscious. A doctor was
called and he tried to relieve the child
with the aid of stomach pump. The
poison had already entered her system,
however, and she died yesterday.
Mr.. Quillette came here with his fam
fly from Hartford, Conn, only week
ago.

the loan committee of the land bank is

committee of any bank in any town or

the loan business but the lands ON which
loans are being made.
There is no member of this board who
has a personal candidate for any position

personal or political debts to pay, and If
we had, there is not man of us who
would pay any such debts at the expense
of the federal farm loan system. And it
is a great pleasure to us all to be able to
state that every senator and congress.
man who has discussed the matter with
any member of theboard accepts this pol
icy as the only proper one, and while the
pressure on them for jobs is tremendous,
they heartily agree with us that merit
and merit only must be the test of fit
ness for appointment under the federal
farm loan act
'"One United States senator called on
member of the board and asked what en-
dorsements would be necessary for appli-
cants for positions. Exactly the same
endorsements, said the board member,
that you would require FROM applicants

Making the Most of the Incubator.

Mrs. A. NJ. Wright of Massachusetts,
practically depends upon her incubators
for making living. She matches I'm
dreds of chickens every season from eggs
laid by her own hens and from eggs she
buys, and sells these chickens when they
are day old for from 10 to 20 cents
apiece. In addition she matches out a
large number of chickens for other people
who bring their eggs to her because of
her experience and skill, and pay her at
the rate of two and one-half cents for
each egg which goes into the machines.
The day -old-chick business, which has
been developed to a wonderful extent in
the past few years, offers many opportu-
mites to women, for it is freely admitted
that women are even more proficient
than men in the operation of ineubators,
owing to their capacity for looking after
details.
There are still many people who use
hens for Matching their chickens, but it
is safe to say that the number is steadily
decreasing, for thousands Of incubators
are being made and sold to farmers and
their wives every year, as well as to
poultry keepers in the small towns. Yet
many men and women who keep few
hens do not have the time needed for
looking after an incubator or else do not
raise enough chickens to warrant the
purchase of machine. They are very
glad to buy day-old chicks from good
stock, hatched by an experienced opera
tor. An advertisement in local paper
will usually bring many customers. II
one happens to live near a city or large
town. which can be reached by trolley, |
buyers will come to the door.
Since the coming of the mammoth in
cubator, which will accommodate from |
900 to 10000 eggs, several immense
hatcheries have been established in va
rious parts of the country, but it is very |
difficult to get sufficient number of
eggs from strong, rugged stock to keep /
such an establishment going. and many
people prefer to patronize the operator
who does a less extensive business. Yet
it is not at all strange if a woman with
a good trade finds it advisable to install
a machine large enough to incubate 200
eggs or more at one time. Legitimate
expansion is always justified, and as the
larger machines are heated by coal stoves
they are easier to care for than series
IF oil heated incubators of smaller capac-
ty,
The same knowledge of incubation is
needed for custom Matching as for carry
ng on a business in day-old chicks, but
10 laying hens need be kept. Women in
wen thiekly settled towns can develop
his line of work, simply Matching out

people. Sometimes charge of five cents

PLACER MINING IN THE DESERT.
Gold Deposited by Ancient Streams Now
Being Mined in Central Nevada.

To one unacquainted with local condi-
tions semiarid region, entirely lack
Ing flowing streams, would not seem to
be a promising field for placer mining,
yet the gold produced from the placer
mines of the Manhattan district in CEN
trail Nevada, has nearly equalled in value
the gold taken from its lode mines.
Manhattan Gulch, which during the
last decade has produced nearly 81 O00,-
900 in placer gold is a dry, gravel
filed valley extending westward from
the center of the Toyabe range to Big
Smoky valley. The bedrock on which
the paw gravel rests lies from 40 to more
than 100 feet below the surface, and
water is scarce, so the gold must be
recovered by underground mining. An
underground stream flowing along the
bottom of this gravel-filled gllch sup
plies sufficient water for sluicng the
gold bearing gravel. In places this gray
FL is extremely rich Material carry
Ing as much as $50 a cubic yard has
been mined from the best ground, and
throughout the productive portion of the
Eulch the pay gravel has generally yield
ed over 50 to the cubic yard.
Many unusual and interesting features
are presented in these deposits, which
are described in detail in bulletin 64O-J
Of the United States geological survey,
department of the interior, by H. 6.
Ferguson. Elephants, deer, and native
Wild horses were once inhabitants Of this
part OF Nevada. and when the gold was
srst deposited in an old stream bed,
prge lake occupied the dusty desert
which gives Smoky valley its name. The
alter history of the region, with It's sue

traced by interpreting tho record left

have so deeply buried the rich gravel.
