Washington, Dec 7,-President
Wilson's last regular message was
scheduled to go to congress today
1t was regarded as virtually certain
that the message was to be carried
to congress at noon today by the
White House messenger and read
by the clerk
Although the callers at the White
House were given the impression
that President Wilson had not given
up the idea of addressing the joint
session of the two houses in person,
it was believed that he could be
prevailed upon not to do so, because
Of the danger to his health.
In case the president does not ap-
pear in person, the message will be
cad in each house separately by the
clerks of the respective branches.

Names are Needed.

The general committee, of which
w. S. Richards is chairman, held a
meeting in the Elks club rooms
yesterday afternoon and made plans
for the gathering of the names Of
the children who are to be invited to
the Christmas tree. An effort is
being made today to secure the
names of. every child in Chickasha,
whose circumstances are such that
otherwise the Christmas would mean
nothing.
1t is pointed out that the affair is
an annual event and that in the
past scores of youngsters have been
made happy through the work Of
the Elks in giving them a Christ
mas tree and program. 1t is ex
pected that the list this year will
be hardly as large as it was last
year, but it is the desire that every
needy child be given an invitation.
Anyone who can secure the name
of such child, is asked to turn
that name, together with the age,
address and sex of the child over to
the DAILY Express, where the list
will be compiled, checked over, and
from which list the invitations will
be issued.
The purchasing committee desires
to buy the toys, articles of clothing
and treat for the youngsters, before
the Christmas rush starts. 1t is
shown to be necessary that the pur-
chasing committee have the com
plete list. showing the name, age,
and sex of the children in order to
purchase the articles intelligently.
The address of the children are nee
essary in order that the invitations
may be delivered to the proper par
ties, it is shown.

A regulation 112 foot derrick has
been erected and the well was spud-
ded with rotary tools. The plan is
to continue with these tools to a
depth of 1000, unless sand worthy
of thorough test is picked up at a
lesser depth. 1t is understood, that
regardless of formations, standard
tools are to be put in at "a depth
of 1000 feet and the contract fin
isded, 1850 feet, with standard tools.
1t is understood that all arrange
ments for an abundant supply of
water and fuel have been made, and
it is expected that, barring accidents
this test will be completed rapidly.
On good authority it is stated that
the contract holders are protected
by substantial amount of forfeit
money placed in a Rush Springs
bank, that the test will be drilled
to the required depth, unless a pay
sand is picked UP at a lesser level.
Ends Long Negotiations.
The spudding in of the Gladys
Belle test, brings to an end a series
of negotiations extending over a
period of nearly a year.
a. B. Cook, lease man of Marlow
worked for months among the prop
erty owners and having blocked the
required acreage, consummated q
deal with the Gladys Belle to drill
the test, which drilling is now under
way.

ample within her own borders o.
the will and power Of democracy to

standing for right and justice to-
ward the individual nations.
The message declared that "a dis
play of an immediate disposition OH
the part of congress to remedy any

MINING ACTIVITY
At ELK PICKS Up
Especial to the Free Press)

ELK CITY, July 5.-William Hogan
of Orogrande passed through Elk City
Saturday on his way to Spokane on
a business trip. Operations are con-
tinuing at the Hogan mine, where a
crew of men is at work saving lum-
Der for additions to the mill and
plant.
A. w. Boyd of Spokane has been in
Elk City the past few days making
preparations to commence work at
the American Eagle mine. A crew of
men win soon be at work putting the
mill and mine in shape for an mi
tial run. The American Eagle was, in
the earlier days, one of the best gold
producers in the mining district, and
it is claimed by old-timers that it is as
good now as it ever was.
B. B. Scott returned to Elk City on
Sunday, having driven from Grange
vile on that day in his new automo-
bile. He was accompanied by William
Boyce, who had been visiting in
Grangeville. Mr.. Scott reports the
roads very good with the exception
of a few snow spots on the mountain.
The Elk City Fourth of July cele-
Dfatl0n was strictly on the Sa1e ana
sane order. 1t began the evening of
July 3, with a card party held in
the dining room of the Elk hotel.
On the Fourth, three well-attended pie
MICS were given: One at the farm
home of Conrad Nitz, one at the
George l.. Esh residence, and one at
the home of w. R. Bullock.
About 5000 head of sheep and sew
eral hundred head of cattle have pas
sed through the last two weeks,
bound for the mountain pastures.
On July 5, the first through in one
day auto stage arrived from Sites. The
people of the community welcome the
more rapid service, and hope that
it may continue at least through the
summer and autumn months
Farmers of the mountain district
are iubilant over what they expect to
be most excellent crops. All grain is
doing exceptionally well, and the pres
ent stands of timothy, clover and wild
hay indicate one of the largest crops
in several years.
