saws that one of the bergs gave
remarkable exhibition of tumbling
as the vessel sailed past. 1t had
apparently lost a good deal OF its
underwater weight through the &C

as they watched it the great ice,
berg suddenly tipped to starDoard
and rolled over with an immense
splash. AS it fell big section of
the top broke away, with the result
that the balance was altered and
the berg tumbled back again. Then,

other section broke off, and it
tumbled once more. The sight was
most unusual one.-Edlnburg

NEW OIL WELL IN EASTERN
WYOMING

The Mule Creek oil field is in east
ern Wyoming, only four miles from
the South Dakota Line, about 35
miles northeast of the well-known
Lance Creek field and 100 miles east
of the Salt Greek Field, the most
productive field in Wyoming. The
presence of petroleum in commercial
quantities in this region had long
been suspected and in recent years
considerable drilling had been done
on a prominent anticline there, but
most of it was done to validate claims
and though many shows of oil were
reported, the wells were not sunk
deep enough to test the anticline
thoroughly. In 1919 the geologist
of the Ohio Oil company discovered
a second anticline to which drilling
had been confined, and the company
drilled on this southeastern anticline
a well that proved to be the discov-
cry well of the feld.-Geological

LAKE FREIGHTERS WILL
TRANSPORT MUCH GRAIN

CHICAGO. Sept. 15.-The lake
route to the East is to be used to its
full capacity for the shipment Of
grain this year according to men,
bers Of the Chicago Board Of Trade
and Chairman Clark, Of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. Chair
man Clark recently announced that
such plans are being worked out.
According to figures available in
Chicago there is enough tonnage on
the Great Lakes to carry $4,000, 900
bushels of grain on one trip. The
tonnage was greatly increased during
the war period. From 1915 to 1919
inclusive, twenty-seven boats were
built in Chicago with gross tonnage
average of 2,400 tons.
Despite transportation handicaps,
which have been the source of con-
siderable uneasiness grain and trans
portation experts believe the question
of distribution out without any seri-
Gus results. The stabilizing effect or
prices resulting from the resumption
of dealing in wheat for future de-
livery has been of great economic
value to the country in general, ac-
cording to students of agricultural
economics.
