BRIDGE AT SHORES ALLOWED

The county commissioners at their
last meeting voted to allow the
bridge that the business men of Kis-
met have been wanting for the past
several years and now it is time for
them to show their appreciation by
doing some work on the road to the
river, as this road is not on the sec
ton lines and cannot be worked eth
er by township ir county money. Lets
get busy and get this road ready so
that when the work is started they
can get the material on the grounds.

THE LIBERAL FIELD SHOULD BE
HEAVY PRODUCED OF OIL,
NOT GAS, AND HAS STRIKING
ADVANTAGES oVER SEVERAL
NEW FIELDS.

This is the opinion of Geologist,
C. f. Deaton, of Clayton, New Mexi-
co, who has just made an examination
of the field by auto and aeroplane,
for the Five States Leasing agency of
Liberal.
Mr.. Deaton has had two and one
half years experience on western an
ticlines and eight years in the Mid
Continent field.
Hhe writes the following:
The topography of the district
west of Liberal, Kansas, shows that
the Liberal field is located on a
broad up-lifted portion of the Kan
sas plain. The formation extends
as far north and west as the CHM
arron river. In fact that stream is
forced northward by the general
up1lift. The disturbance in the rock
beds, which is reflected on the sur
face, shows that the formation runs
south and slightly eastward, cross.
ing the Oklahoma line near Tyrone
and extending into the district east
of Guymon. However, the central
portion of the field appears directly
west of Liberal, where the favorable
territory is very broad.
The structure consists of a number
of anticlinal up-lifts or folds in the
rockbeds, which appear on the sur
face as mounds, or elongated
domes Their plunge is almost di
rectly southwark, and very nearly a
right angles to the regional dip o.
the country. 1t is unfortunate tina
the undulated surface of the fielC
catches the sand which drifts il
from the west, making the geolog,
of the field more difficult; however
the Liberal field has some strikin,
advantages over several of our re
Gently discovered fields, and | be
lieve it will prove to be a heavy pro
Queer of oil and not gas field. Som
of my reasons for this belief are a
follows:
The petroleum gas recently foun
in the Graders" well, four mile
west if Liberal, was struck only siH
ty-five feet above sea level, and q
a depth of 27S5 feet. This show
that the tectonic arches of thes
structures are low, forming resel
voirs for oil, not gas. That this ga
was found in the Pennsylvania Sc,
les of oil sands. which underlie tn
, Permian beds in this region; thu
the overlieing Permian is a solid con
: pact series of stratum in which tn
gas could not enter, and is therefor
/ beneath it. That oil enticines lyin
at right angles to the regional dip
are in better position to check an
control the oil than those lying para
llel with same; that the Liberal for
nation is not intensely folded, AM
the structural arches are not high, a
is generally characteristic of ga
fields. That the Liberal field ha
correct location to check and acculu
late the hydrocarbons from the west
ern portions of the Continent
field. From my brief observation Of
this field, l believe it very probabl,
that wells drilled near the apex o.
the principal domes will be strong
gassers, but the great area Of favor
able structure has the correct cal
marks of an oil field, and l believ,
this conclusion will soon be verified
by subsequent drilling.

Mosquitoes Hate Liqht.

It has been shown that the malaria
bearing mosquito does not stay in a
well-lighted house or modern hospital,
says the Medical Record. Clean, bare
walls and ceilings, large windows and
little furniture do not attract it. On
the contrary, it selects cottages or old
fashioned houses, where the rooms are
"stuffy" and hot, ill-lighted, ill-venti-
lated, with dark recesses, cupboards,
old curtains and much furniture. In
such place the mosquito is altogether
at home, and if there is. restricted liv-
ing or sleeping accommo dation infec-
ton is very likely to be carried from
the malaria carrier to the susceptible
person.

Lamps for Brides

In early times the courtship and
marriage customs among the Green
landers were simple and unceremoni-
Gus enough, since we are told that
when a lovelorn youth made up his
mind as to the girl he wanted to adOrn
and be useful in his hut of ice and
snow, he went to her house, seized
her by the hair or wherever he could
secure good grip on her, and dragged
her to his own domain, where she was
expected to remain. without any fur
ther marriage ceremony. If an affluent
bridegroom he would perhaps soothe
her lacerated feeling by presenting
her with a new lamp or some other
article of household utility.
