The Hard Task.

It's an easy thing to say
What another man should do,
But it's different through the day
To be quite SO strict with you.
You can see what's right for them
Very clearly as you go,
And It's easy to condemn
When they falter or are slow.
But it's mighty hard to do
Every minute of the day
Only what is good for you
And to keep the narrow way.

FROM SURVEY
University Man Makes Geo
logical Survey in Williams
and Mckenzie Counties.

L EH aH"..NG .fhHANa@ ~. .EL. tEsHaTE.
Dr.. A. G. Leonard. state geologist
has returned to the University of
North Dakota after a two months
survey Of territory in the western part
of the state.
The United States Geological Sur
.vey is cooperating with the State
Geological Survey in the preparation
OF a geological map and report of an
area Just east of Williston. known as
the Ray Quadrangle. This quad
.rangle which includes parts of Will
.liams and Mckenzie counties covers
an area of 500 square miles and a
Typographical map of the region was
published several years g by the
United States Geological Survey.
During the past two months two
parties have been carrying on field
work in the quadrangle, the United
States Geological Survey party being
in\charge of Mr.. A. J.. Collier. and the
state survey party being in charge Of
the state geologist, DR.. A. G.. Leonard
OF the University of North Dakota,
and including j. d. Mcleod and Rob-
ert Gemmell Of the university.
Many coal seams outcrop in the
bluffs bordering the Missouri valley
on the north, and south, and these
seams were mapped in detail by plane
table methods and after the work is
completed and the results worked up,
a fairly accurate estimate can be
made Of the number of tons of coal
which are contained in the quad
rangle.
The glacial deposits Of the region
are Of particular interest since three
different drift sheets are present. A
considerable area Of the quadrangle
is occupied by the terminal moraine
Of the latest ice sheet. and the rough,
hilly topography Of this moraine is
particularly well shown in the vi
east of Ray. This, moraine, and the
other glacial deposits were mapped in
detail.
"A number of large springs were
found in the quadrangle, the water OF
many Of them coming from coal
seams. and in any Of the wells OF
the region, the water is also found In
coal. One of these springs Cussicks
Spring. is located or the old govern
Buford and Fort Stevenson. and was
a favorite camping place of the In
dams. The water is very pure and
very cold. The two parties cooper
ated in the field work and the field
notes secured by each are furnished
the other party. s
When the work Is completed prob
ably after another seasons held work,
a joint report will be prepared by
Mr.. Collier and DR.. Leonard n pub
lished by the United States Geological,
Survey. The result of the co-opera-
tive work will also be available fol
publication by the State Geological
Survey of North Dakota.
