and encouraged me paternally. In
an inscription traced by his own
hands, beneath his portrait, which he
gave me, he writes: ''To our Reverend

Apostolic Blessing with all our heart,
assuring him that we are always with

"In an interview which the Pope

Pope Benedict and President wilson.
What Mr.. Babize says:
"Pope Benedict did not remain silent
when his voice and his pen, by urging
premature peace, effectually aided
the arch.criminal of humanity and
Christianity. On the pretense that he
wanted peace-who does not want
peace?-a message was sent forth so
clearly inspired by the Hapsburgs,
that bloodstained ruling house of
Austria, so decidedly prejudicial to
civilization that it brought forth a
stunning rebuke from no less a man
than the great President of the United
States, Woodrow Wilson"
What President Wilson says:
To ascertain the correctness of Mr..
Babize's statement, the secretary of
the Catholic Federation of the United
States on July %, 1918, addressed a
letter to the Secretary of President
Wilson as follows:

SELECTED POEMS

THE LITTLE GOLD STAR.
Look up to the skies, my country,
And see DER the battling world
Gods star-strewn service banner
In the azure blue unfurled.
Oh, the endless stars upon it,
And each a golden star
For the endless love of our Captain
And His Calvary's holy war.
And 10! of the selfsame weaving
God made on His loom of light
A banner for you, my country
The red-bordered field of white.
Red for the blood of your heroes,
White for your stainless fame,
And blue star out of heaven
For every soldiers name.
Countless the stars, my country,
And countless your heroes, too,
But we kiss each star with rapture;
Their pledge, our pledge to you.
But the tears well up from the heart
springs,
AS your fair flag we unfold,
And number the stars, TRANSPORTED
From blue to brightest gold.
Gold for the tire-tried soldier,
Gold for his love-burst soul,
Gold for the light of heaven,
Where the greater love" has goal!
Gold for the patriots glory,
To shine unto ages far;
Not death, but life eternal
In the little golden star.
Our hearts to you, my country,
And take the pledge we give,
To love, to bear, to suffer,
To die that you may live.
And though beneath your banner
We fail, our names untold,
Thank God, if we have filled it
With service stars of gold!

You smile at an old mans fancy,
You wonder I should complain,
When every want is satisfied,
And know not ache or pain,
For sure the great Gods good and
kind,
And thank Him night and day,
But can forget old Ireland
When my thoughts are there Away!
You talk of your parks and gardens
But tell you they can't compare
With a country lane in Ireland
When summer is in the air

1t is asserted that % per cent Of
this gas was soluble in clairolene oil.
From present development there
seems every reason to believe that a
gas field of some Importance is as
sured. However, the region is one of
relatively sparce population, and un-
less local industry of some sort is
established, market for the gas could
only be obtained by piping to Spokane,
Portland or the Puget Sound country.
Naturally the question of greatest
interest is in connection with the pos
sible development of oil as we'll as gas,
hut here one enters The realm of pure
speculation. 1t Sc Ems an unacceptable
conclusion that the gas has migrated
into the basalt from: an underlying
source, but whether directly connected
with oil. or whether in that event the
petroliferous zone is within economic
drilling reach is open to question.
However, the occuren.>, of oil seep-
ages associated with the anticline
would tempt one to conclude that IN
DERIVING oil is present in quantity and
the geologic history of the region, so
far as it is possible to be deciphered,
gives basis for hope that continu-
ance of the present drilling test will
discover oil. If that should happen,
an entirely new source of supply would
be opened up, as the area under dis
cussion is far removed from present
production.

Y. m. c. A. in NEED OF m
MANY WAR SECRETARIES
Four Thousand Men TO be Sent Over
Seas before September Mo
SIackers and Pacifists

If you can measure up to these re-
quirements you can go to France as a
Y. NJ. c. A. war work secretary:
Good mixer,
Over draft age,
Not a pacifist or Stacker,
Willing to 60 under shell fire,
Broad-guaged and willing to go
where sent.
The call has gone out from the Ma
tioral War Work Council Of the Y. M.
C. A. for 1000 men for overseas SER
vice before September 1. These men
must go to France as big brothers for
the boys who have gone from their
homes to fight in the great cause. The
Y. M. c. A. secretary must take cheer
into his life, serve him at all times
and keep him fit to fight.
Frank A. Jackson, head Of the bu-
reau of personnel for the National
War Work Council Of the Y. M. c. A.
with headquarters at 519 First Ma
tional Bank Building, San Francisco,
says that the need for men at this
time is most urgent. u
"We want men big enough to have
a smile and CHEEKY word when they
themselves are tagged out after hours
of service for our boys. We want men
with big hearts and hard muscles,
men who will go to France on blind
assignment, ready to handle whatever
job at the moment appears to be most
important. We need natural leaders,
men who are real men, good mixers
and capable of exerting the proper in
fluence.
"We don't want pacifists or slack
ers. Our men go under shell fire.
They have been gasscd and wounded
by bursting shrapnel. We need men
who understand something about ath-
letics, who can drive motor trucks. We
need red-blooded American men who
don't know what fear is, but want to
serve overseas and do something to
help win this war;"

POSSIBILITIES OF GAS RESERVE in WASHINGTON

basaltic sequence remains at the gas
well locally. This sequence approx
mates $500 feet in thickness in the
foothills of the Cascade range, some
go miles to the west. Naturally there
fore, it would be futile to attempt drill
ing where the basalt had not eroded
deeply, regardless of surface indica-
tions Of oil or gas.
The structure on which the gas well
is located is known at the Rattlesnake
Hills anticline and is marked by a high
ridge extending from North Yakima to
the vicinity of Kennewick, a distance
of about 60 miles. Turnout this extent

eral cross folds, thus forming several
elongated domes. The greater portion
of the basaltic sequence remains on
the anticlinean area, but the area of
local doming in the vicinity of the gas
well has been subjected to exceptional
erosional activity. During former
period of its history, the Columbia
river was directed against the north
side of the uplift and meandered along
that flank of the structure. As re-
suit the other side remains as hog
back whose steep north front presents
a difference of level of between 1900
feet at the base up to $500 feet at the
crest. AS the photographic difference
is even greater, on account Of the
southerly dip, it follows that the
dome has been stripped of all
but a relatively small amount of
the original thickness of bas-
salt and leads to the reasonable con-
clusion that the gas zone at 700 feet
below the surface is near the bottom
of the sequence and. approaching the
underlying sedementaries. AS to the
geologic age and nature of such sedi-
mentaries there are no available data
upon which to base assumptions, ow-
ing to lack Of exposures due to the
widespread flow Of basalt, but there
is some reason for belief that an en-
payment of the sea extended into this

ADOPT HARVEST LABOR SCALE
Farmers of Inland Empire Agree on
Wheat Harvest Wages


Uniform wage scales for harvest
hands in the Inland Empire have been
adopted at meetings recently held in
a number of communities. 1t is hoped
to stop the practice Of bidding for help
by this method. In general the scale
is higher than ever before paid. EN-
ployers assembled at Ritzville, Pull
man and Pomeroy established wages
which are being accepted in other
towns. The range of pay is indicated
as follows:
Leaders, $3.50 to 81; sack sewers,
$3.50 to Sc; combine spike pitch, $3.50
to SIS; box drivers, $3.50 to 81; COM
bine drivers, $3.50 to $3.50.
Other labor is being paid in proper
ton. The ten-hour day is being used
with provisions for overtime.

Roofing for the old home team is a
characteristic of Young America and
this same spirit of loyalty to ship,
battery or company is shown by the
the boys who are in the service. 10y
atty to the good old ship is the out
standing feature of the following let
ter from Harry Maupin to his mother:
You will probably be surprised when
you get this letter and hear that am
on the Atlantic. But you can never
tell where sailor will go. We ex-
pect to see the war zone soon. We
are doing convoy duty now while the
subs are working off the east coast.
There have been twenty-one ships
sunk around where we are now. We
are keeping. as sharp a lookout for
German subs and we expect to get one
or two.
We sure have reputation on this
coast. There are ten ships in our
fleet and they think that we are the
toughest and hardest crew and ship in
the navy. We beat them at baseball,
football, basketball or can Outright
any of them.
They heard about us after the raid
ers and smugglers on the west coast,
and they think we can lick most any
thing.
There are only few ships on this
coast that do any travelling to amount
to much. Where we have been half
way around the world and expect to
go the other half. We have covered
more territory than any other ship in
the navy since the war.
We have Navy "E's" all over our
ship and guns. That stands for an
excellent ship, crew and gun crews.
When we hit a port the rest sit up
and take notice. We have not had
a chance to see many of the cities on
this coast yet, but what we have
seen / like fine.
/ suppose everybody there is getting
ready for the Fourth of July. It is
hard to tell where we will spend it.
But I think we will go north soon. 1
will probably see some of the Richland
boys soon if they let US stay in port
long enough. But we do not stay in
one place more than day or two.

BY r. w. CALVERT
GeOlogist and Engineer, Salt Lake

Recent demonstration of large
volume of gas by a drilling test in
Benton County, Washington, at a
depth of 700 feet and under unusual
conditions, affords an interesting
theme for speculation by the oil fra
ternity whether operator or geologist.
In February, 1913, drilling was un-
dertaken in section 20, township H.,
north range &c E. w. NJ, by Spo-
kane land syndicate in the hope of de-
veloping :.rtesian water, and at 700
feet a porous stratum was encounter
ed that yielded considerable gas. The
writer was informed of this discovery
at the time, but assumed that the gas
was menthanc (marsh gas) originat-
ing and occurring in sedimentary lay
ers found occasionally intercalated in
the thick basaltic sequence covering
south central Washington and adjoin-
ing areas. Apparently this view was
held by others, as only purely local
interest was taken in the dicovery. AS
an illustration it may be cited that it
was not for several years that the
Washington state geologist, Professor
Henry Landes, could be persuaded to
visit the area personally.

 When some one invents a process of reproducing natural colors on the screen, the world in general and lovers of the beautiful in par ticular, will be immense gathers. Then only will it be possible for picture goers to appreciate the eX- quisite coloring in the features of Jewel Carmen.
 In the present condition of af- fairs, Miss Carmen, who plays in William Fox productions, is person of beauty and a joy in the photo plays she makes. Even at that high rating, be it said, she is not even one-half so beautiful on the screen as on.
 There's a delicate pinkness about her cheeks that would put the best Georgia peaches to shame. Her eyes are a delicate blue, and her slen- der dark eyebrows contrast vividly with the luxuriant golden hair which streams over her shoulders when she works.
