went well at first but along toward the

high, as We had already gone to the ex-

ned rally for Friday night. The
Freshmen had the wood ready in the
field in hopes that game might be
scheduled with Pendleton, and a rally
still be held. Twenty-three people, rem

UNMARRIED BY FLOWS TOUCH
Rolling Plains Scene of Great Beauty Before the Advent of the
 Agrculturist.

Seventy years ago -. Indians were Indians, and the plains were the plains indeed
 Those plains stretched out in limit less rolling swells of prairie until they met the blue sky that on every hand bent down to touch them. In spring brightly green. and spangled with wild flowers, by midsummer this prairie had grown sere and yellow. Clumps of dark green cottonwoods marked the courses Of the infrequent streams for most of the year the only note of color in the landscape, except the bril- liant sky. On the wide. level river bottoms, sheltered by the enclosing hills, the Indians pitched their conica' skin lodges and lived their simple lives. If the camp were large the lodges stood in wide circle, but if only few families were together, they were scattered along the stream.
 In the spring and early summer the rivers swollen by the melting snows were often deep and rapid, but a little later they shrank to a few narrow trickles running oyer/a bed of sand and sometimes the water sank wholly out of sight.-George Bird Grinnell.

COPPER FORMATION FOUND
Drill Penetrates 2f-FOOt Vein Nea1
 A.eher Springs.

Heber Springs, July 20-A 24-foot vAin of copper, said to test 50 Ter cent, was penetrated in test oil WeIl being sunk six miles east of Helper Springs. Specimens of the forma- tion were examined here today. Other specimens will be forwarded to the state geologist for analysis.
 Discovery of the copper yesterday created much excitement here. Plans already are under way to develop the mineral. It is believed it will be found in commercial quantities, The we'll is being drilled by the Hebel Oil and Gas Company composed o1 local business men.
 Despite the discovery of the veir of copper, which was picked up at depth of 118 feet, the drillers today continued boring for oil. After pass ing through the copper formation they struck black lime, and are max ing faster progress.
 The we'll is located in section 14-1O g, near Little Red River. R. D. l. Morris of Supulpa, Okla, is in charg' of the drilling.
 It is said four-foot vein of coa was found at 80 feet.
