HENDRIX CLASSES
 END COURT SERIES

Coach Jamie Anderson of the Hen drix second basketball team has is- sued a challenge to the high schools of the state for basketball games to be played both at home and on for eign territory.
 The interclass series will end tomor- row. It seems that the tournament will go to the juniors, who have won every game played Early next week the juniors will meet the first string men who are in school, but who have not played on the class teams. The last few games of the class tourna- ment have been played on the new court which was completed last Mon- day. The bleachers which have been erected on both sides will seat over 800 spectators and with an excellent schedule being arranged for both the first and second team boys and the girls team, Conway basketball fans will have the opportunity of seeing some hard fought contests.

SWEEPS
OVER STEPTOE VALLEY

A most destructive cloudburst oc-
Cured in Steptoe valley In the vicin-
ity of the Campbell ranch Tuesday
afternoon Reports are to the effect
that 1t started to rain about O'Clock
In the afternoon The rain was fol-
lowed by a heavy hailstorm and
terrific wind and people who were in
the vicinity say that the hailstones
were as large as a good sizer marble
and banked high on the ground, and
In one of the houses, the door of
which was blown off by the heavy
wind, in quantities that could be SHOW
eled like heavy snow. The foothills
surrounding the place had the ap-
pearance of winter morning after
good fall of snow. A remarkable
days after the cloudburst a handful
of the hailstones massed together
could be picked up.
The water covered radius of
about one and one-half miles around
the Campbell ranch and came with
such force as to cut bitches at least
twenty feet deep and washed down
immense boulders and debris.
Fortunately the water did not en-
ter the Campbell residence which
stands on high foundation, but 1t
ran through other buildings and
destroyed the beautiful vegetable
garden. which was at the time at its
best. with all kinds of vegetables
ready for use, and the grain and
other crops were badly damaged.
The rush of water broke a huge
dam. which had been constructed
for over forty years. and released all
the water in the reservoir. The ranch
at this time of the year, with its won-
derful flower garden. trees and shrub
berry. was one of the picture spots of
the county and it was indeed unfor-
tunate that such a calamity should
have happened.
At the Buzzetti ranch, few miles
distant. the damage was also enor-
nous and the grain and garden crops
we're completely destroyed. On the
Fine Molleson ranch. also few miles
distant there was also some damage
but this place escaped the greater
storm of the other places. The storm
lasted about three hours.
For the last few years there has
been much damage In this county to
homes and to roads from cloudbursts.
There have also been many fatalities
from lightning in the electrical and
heavy thunderstorms of the late sum-
mer--White Pine News.

entire business is to route trave.ers
over the southern route SO that they
will spend their time and money in
Los Angeles.
This has been going on for years
and the result is that Southern Cali
fornia has absorbed considerable of
this travel.
The importance of Sparks as q
tourist camp has grown steadily In
the past few years. and those who
have looked into the matter are more
than satisfied that cooperation with
the Pixies Peak Association will mean
that the number of tourists will be
easily trebled.
During the busiest season there was
an average of thirty campers in the
Sparks ground every day. 1t Is q
certainty that the expenditures OF
these travellers averaged $40 day or
$4,000 month. These figures are ex-
tremely notwithstanding this
amount means an additional payroll
in the city, means big amount Of
foreign money coming into our trade
channels.
Bearing facts like these In mind.
those who favor the movement believe
that Sparks will easily roll up big
that will result in much
favorable advertisement for the city.

GOVERNMENT STORY
ON SAA[E PROSPECT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Recent
Investigations by the U. s. geological
survey are to be held by its experts to
indicate that in the Rocky mountain
states there are enormous quanti-
ties of oil shales which can be made
to yield hydrocarbon oils to a much
greater extent than we can hope to
obtain from our oil wells.
The shales are said to constitute
a tremendous potential oil reserve.
THE oil shales of this country
says the report. contain enormous
quantities of oil. but large amounts of
money will have to be invested before
the oil shale industry becomes of
commercial Importance. Estimates by
various engineers of the cost of a
complete retorting plant. handling
1000 tons daily. are between $4,000, 900
and s5,000.000
In this country the oil-shale In
dustry cannot be developed over
night and probably cannot attain sue
cess until large sums of money have
been spent In perfecting mining, re-
torting and refining methods. A COM
pany to be successful, whenever OIL

ally feasible. must be able to employ
the best technical, business and en-
cheering skill available, be prepared
to operate on a large scale and be
financially strong enough to wait sew
eral years for any large return on
the money invested"
The report declares that 1t Is ''un-
fortunate that a large number of the
many companies organized to deal
with oil shale are devoting their eff
forts to stock selling rather than
assisting In building firm basis for
the Industry"
A summary of the report follows:
There are no commercial oil-shale
plants operating in this country at
the present time, although there is
a well established industry in Scot
land.
Many American shale deposits are
richer In recoverable oil than Scotch
shales now being worked. and prob
ably nearly equal in nitrogen content,
which Is a measure of recoverable
ammonia.
Market conditions for the shale pro-
ducts are less favorable In this coun-
try than in Scotland.
Great quantities OF American shales
are of greater thickness and better
suited for mining than Scotch shales.
AS yet no process for obtaining oil
from Oil shale has been used In ac-
tual commercial practice in this
country.
Indications are that the United
States can not continue long to de-
pend on domestic petroleum produc-
ton to supply completely the de-
mand for petroleum products. and
that sooner or later our oil shales will
have to be used to help supply the
deficit.
The oil shale industry can not
hope to supplant the petroleum in
dustry in large way for many years.
but will probably grow up from local
Industries in favorable places.
Costs of oil shale operations can
not be readily estimated until COM
mercial practice in this country fur
nishes the necessary basic data.
The quantity. quality and value Of
products and by-products to be OBJ
tanned from oil shale in this country
are not known with any degree Of
certainty.
The oil shale industry is a large
scale, low-grade raw material man
ufacturing enterprise requiring large
capital. high technical and business
industry and satisfactory mining, re-
torting and refining processes.
