South American
 Pays Tribute to
 Colonel Roosevelt

Rio De Janeiro, Dec. 6.-Genera! Candido Rondon, famous Brazilian explorer and companion of Theodore Roosevelt when he explored teh "Riv- CT of Doubt" paid high tribute to Colonel Roosevelt the ether night, when before a distinguished audience in the Municipal theatre the general was presented the medallions from the New York phical society, the Explorers club of New York and the Rio de Janeiro Geographical society.
 "At this moment when l am so glad and grateful to receive your homage" General Rondon said, "the image of my virile and dear friend Roosevelt is with me. see before me the massive structure of his fine body, his radiant joviality, his keen and intelligent eye"
 The general recalled the times he had spent with Colonel Roosevelt on various expeditions, especially in the exploration of the River of Doubt. The colonel, he said, was al ways first on the march. He referred to Colonel Roosevelt's travels and ex- plorations in South America in com pany with his son Kermit.
 Among the many and great works which Colonel Roosevelt had conceived and realized" General Rondon continued, "he would men, tio in his conversations only his Pacific intervention between Russia and Japan, the construction of the Panama canal and the audacity of having been the first to meet clear- ly and incisively the conquering inso- lerce of the German empire which. in order not to encounter the United States squadron, had to give up it's attempt on Venezuela"
 He spoke of Colonel Roosevelt as continuing "the glories of Washing ton and Lincoln, and concluded:
 "This enthusiastic Rough Rider was prevented himself from bearing arms for the liberty of peoples, but he sent all his sons to the battlefield of France and stoically saw one of them lose his life The others, one of whom was our dear companion in the discovery of the River of Doubt, were wounded in the great battles at the end of 191S."
 General Rondon, who was only re- gently elected to his present rank from a colonelcy, was for many years chief of construction of the govern ment telegraph lines. His work sent him into the vast unevplored regions of the interior of Brazil inhabited by uncivilized Indians. He had a knack of winning the confidence of these Indians, and among several tribes is affectionately known as Papa Ran don" His workers were rarely moles-. 4 A.2

Chance to Find
 Oil in Arkansas
 Said to Be Good

Fayetteville, Ark, Dec. 6.-That there is fairly good chance for oil and gas in Southern and Eastern Ar kansas, judging fro mthe kinds of rock beds and their structural posi- tion there, was the opinion expressed by Dr. N. F. Drake, head of the de- partment of geology and mining en- gineering, University of Arkansas in an address before the Science club
 Dr. Drake said that oil is not found in the places where it is formed, but in rock beds known as reservoir rocks. This transference is caused by either gravity or capillary attraction. In the first case, the oil, being lighter than the water, moves on the surface of the water and gradually rises upwards in the rock beds. In the case of capil- lary attraction, the water is able to go into finer pores of the rocks than the oil and hence it forces the oil out into the extremely porous rocks.
 The two theories for the origin of oil, the organic and the inorganic, were discussed by Dr. Drake. He stated that the organic theory ac-

>oALT0N SEA IN THE
 lsslPl EE:nIilhl. VALLEY lS GRADUALLY DRYING lIP
HOmesteaders H ave Their Stakes Far Into Water On
 Salt Encrusted Shore.

Los Angeles, Dec. 6.-The Salto, Sea in the Imperial valley, one of tn; natural wonders of the West, is con stantly shrinking. At present it i. about Is miles long and nine miles wide at the greatest point. During the last five years, the water is said to have retreated about mile a year leaving a salt encrusted adobe lanl which is eagerly seized by home steaders. Often their location stakes are planted far out in the water.
 The sea which lies l69 feet below the level of the ocean abounds in fish, mullet and carp, which local and Arizona capitalists are planni 2 to utilize by erection of great cali nery.
 The United States department of agriculture reports state that about the Salton Sea lies the largest area of date producing land in the cou1- try.
 Geologists say the Salton Sink" as it once was known, in prehistoric times has changed from desert to sea and from sea to desert 50 times or more. For centuries the Colorado river would flow quetly to the Cuff of California and gradually build tip sand bar across it's mouth Then some spring flood would cause washout in the rivers bank furtb. .r north and the whole torrent would sweep toward the Salton Sink The desert would become all nland sea, remaining so for centuries, perhaps, until some great flood would cave out shorter way to the ocean. The sea would be drained and the region relapse into desert.
 Mud volcanoes abound near the sea, short distance inland. They are of all sizes up to great mounds 16 feet in height. They all emit steam some In steady stream, others steam and mud alternately. Many of them give out sulphurous gas. At times their roaring can be heard for miles.
 More and more the sea is being visited by tourists and during the heated season, when the temperature is from 10 to 20 degrees cooler than in the valley towns, dances are fre- quently held on an old wharf, which once served as landing place for fishing boats but which has been left high and dry1by the receding waters.
 Of especial interest to the tourists are the bubbling "paintpots." As the water retreats it is in state of constant ebullition. Gases from soms some unknown subterranean source are continually finding escape through unseen vents in the bottom Layer after layer of colored pigment IS deposited. The retreating waters have left uncovered acres of this deposit, said by experts to be fully equal to the dry sienna and amber colors, of which so much is imported
 It is thought that the shrinkage of the Salton Sea will continue until t finally becomes salt "sink" with q pool of brackish water in the center unless fresh outburst of the great Colorado should replenish it's waters.

counts for oil formation by chemical decomposition and bacterial action on the buried remains of plants and animals The inorganic theory holds that when. carbides of lime or iron come in contact with water inside th> earth oil and gas are formed.
 Igneous and metamorphic rocH are unfavorable for the storing of oil, and sedementary rocks that have ce1r- tain structural conditions are the on'v ones which contain commercial pools of oil, according to Dr. Drake. He said that the high degree of meta morphism existing in the northern and central parts of Arkansas indicat- ed that no oil would be found ther9. while the conditions in southern and eastern portions were favorable and that there were good possibilities for gas in the Arkansas river valley country.

Americans Buy
 Heavily in Mexico

Mexico City, Dec. 6.-America1 capitalists are reported to have in vested heavily in mining property in the northern part of the republic, the largest single deal having been made by an American smelting and refin- ing company for controlling interest in the Rosita coal mines in Coahuila for which a million and one-half pe- sos were paid. The Rosita fields in the past have furnished the greater part of the coal supply of the coun- try and the new onwers are said to enlarging the field and placing Coahuila coal on the United States market.

American Soldiers, Seeking Liquor,
 Worry Mexicans

Mexico City, Dec. 6.-American soldiers in search of liquor who cross the boundary line into Mexico and frequently cause disturbances before they return are the cause of much concern to the Mexican mili- tary chief of the border district. ac- cording to several newspapers here, which quote extracts from communi- cations sent the government heads by the officers. The soldiers, it is alleged, boldly cross the line and ex- cept in rare cases come fully armed.

Austin, Tex, Dec. 6-Another yer sion of the proverb "all is not gold that glitters" is given by the oil and gas department of the Texas railroad commission which warns stochhold- CTS and prospective stockholders not to place too much credence in pho tographs showing gushing oil wells. Cases have been known where the matter being thrown out of a well by a head of gas was not oil at all. but mud and water, the warning adds.
