BISHOP: DENOUNCES
DRY AMENDMENT

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept. r.
ITO me the writing into our constitu-
ton of the 18th amendment was I'M
pardonable,' said the Right Rev.
Thomas F. Gailor, Episcopal Bishop Of
Tennessee on the eve of the fourth
synod of the province of the Pacific OF
the Episcopal Church which opened
today
I take no part in politics. I am
neither Republican nor Democrat, in
such questions" declared Bishop
Gailor, but politicians of both parties
have played politics with the good
name and the conscience of this coun-
try. Whatever in the League of
Nations was repugnant, could have
been written out but to refuse to coun-
tenance any measure for universal
peace was nothing but denial of
every principle for which this country
went to war.
AS to prohibition. that is delicate
question, but | have always asserted
my belief and have never evaded
question. The saloons were going the
church was making headway against
what evil there was in liquor. To nv
mind 1t was nothing short of hysteriaL
that put over restriction which could
not nope to suppress that evil"

DRILL FORCED
25FEET in ROCK
Cones of Bit Dulled and New Ones,
Telegraphed for, Have Now
Arrived.

The drillers down at the oil test
well, near Paynes Newton ~ this
week encountered a strata of solid
white rock, so hard that it resembles
vitrified chinaware. Up to this writ
ing they have penetrated it to a
depth of 25 feet.
After the Hughes rock-bit, told
about in the last issue of The Sun,
was put into commission, good prog
ress was made for twenty feet Then
the cones of the bit became so dull
that it was decided new ones must be
Itelegraphed for, and this was DONE
While waiting for the new cones to
reach Charleston more efforts were
made with both the Hughes bit and a
freshly sharpened fishtail, and five
feet additional was obtained, making
the total depth reached to date, $500
feet.
D. O'Rourk, the superintendent in
charge, came into twn Tuesday morn
ing and again on Wednesday to in
Iquire if the new cones had arrived.
He got them Wednesday. On Tues
day afternoon the sill broke under
the rotary. While the new cones
were being inserted and adjusted this
sill was being replaced and other re-
pairs were made at the same time.
1t was expected late yesterday that
everything would be in readiness for
the resumption of drilling operations
