According to an English newspaper
correspondent who recently reported a
Journey he had made from Paris to
the Polish capital. the most impressive
spectacle that he saw was the mantle
Of blossoms, clustered profusely. which
fringed the highways and byways
about Warsaw. "Al the wars OF Po-
land" he writes. "could not check the
new life that came riding through her
borders at the head Of the advancing
spring; sprays Of lilac found place IN
the gray caps Of Polish lancers. tulips
and chestnut leaves. tokens of the new
dawn. in the garb Of peer and peasant
Everywhere was spring yielding back
q measure Of her everlasting rights
But the flowers never took much notice
Of the war even AT the front"

EXPERT REP0RTSA0
OIL IN E[K0 FIELD

Professor Frederick J. Pack, who
was brought to Eiko by the Elko Oil
| Corporation to report on its holdings.
near. that city, put a stop g on the
| company's hopes when he addressed
a meeting of the stockholders, tell
them that there was an entire lack
of any indications pointing to the ex-
istence of oil on their holdings, says
the Elko Independent. The meeting
was held at the Mayer hotel and was
well attended by many of the original
investors in the company, who had
| hoped to receive a favorable report.
| Professor Pack arrived in Elko pre-
| pared to spend several days in his ex-
| animation of the field, which lies on
what is known as Adobe Flat, about
| six miles north of the city.
He was taken out to the field i'm
mediately by President Gedney. of the
| corporation, and at once began his in
| vestigations. He had proceeded only
a short time with his research when
he expressed doubt as to the field.
He continued, however, in his search
making a thorough investigation.
Stockholders were notified that a
meeting would be held to receive his
report, but no intimation of what it
would be was given out.
In his talk, Mr.. Pack went into the
question of oil formations in thorough
fashion.
Most people" said Professor Pack,
think oil is found In a depression.
This is not the case. Water flows in
to the depressions, forcing the oil into
higher formations. Here gas is also
formed, above the oil and nine times
out of ten you discover oil in a for
nation that denotes no bowl or basin
whatever. This is the reason why so
many times wells are struck on land
that directly adjoin others upon
which no oil can be found. The chief
indication of the presence of oil is
the anticline. 1 found no indications
of an anticline and no domes what
ever on your holdings. l would rec
ommend that you do not proceed fur
Their in your search for OIL"
Professor Pack by no means dis
couraged the idea of the presence OF
oil in the state of Nevada. On the
other hand, he stated that he firmly
believed that Nevada had better indi-
cations of oil than Utah and a flowing
well was recently brought in at Moab,
Utah. But Elko is not in the oil
zone, SO he says. %
Immediately after receiving his re-
port the board Of directors of the corr
poration met and voted to terminate
the corporation. Steps to disincor-
porate are being taken and after de-
Quoting the expenses incurred this far
each member of the company will get
his money returned to him. 1t is es-
timated that the expense thus far in
Cured will aggregate about ten dol
lars for each of the fifty members.
Each member deposited one hundred
dollars toward the work Of organic
ing and every man and woman who
took a share in the corporation feels
well repaid for having finally de-
termined the question of whether or
not oil exists there.
Laymen were confident that a ia
vorable report would be rendered on
the Adobe field. Fossils, which were
taken as an indication, were found
in abundance. Professor Pack found
no merit in any of the indications.

A similar clinic will be held at Black

For everyone VINO wishes to be ex-
amihed for tuberculosis, the Mime
sota Public Health association and
the State Advisory commission on
tuberculosis have arranged for tn.

Since tuberculosis is catching every

in any way Is especially urged to be
examined at these clinics. Where
here has been tuberculosis in a fam.
lily, all members should be examined
Thus the early stages may be discov.

Finding the cases is the first ster

clinics reveal surprising things very
often. People who do not imagine
