In this year of over-production
apples don't mean much to
folks in the irrigated districts.
1t is different, though, in the
cities and non-applc producing
sections where box of apples
is a real luxury. Between 81 and
GO cents will carry a box by in
sured parcel post anywhere
within a distance of $50 miles,
and from present indications
many a home is going to be made
happy by the receipt of a
Thanksgiving or Christmas box
of apples from White Bluffs.

Emmett j. Scott, DR.. Greed ChiliS.
Rev. Emory Smith ami Mrs. Mary
Church Terrell, had conference with
Secretary Weeks Of the War Depart.
ment Thursday afternoon with refer.
cncc to the proposed bathing beach
for Negroes OH Columbia Island. They
declared that Columbia Island is prac-
tically inaccessible and otherwise unSui
able for the purpose. Outside of its dis
lance from the city, it was stated that
it could be utilized only by the opcrat-
ion of a ferry from tho Virginia shore.
1t was suggested by the committee
that in view Of the long waterfront OF
the city and the large area of the tidal
basin, it ought not to be difficult to
find Il more suitable place for the
beach than the Virginia shore. Secrc.
tary Weeks, who has final jurisdiction
said he would give the question full
consideration and see that the cOlCred
people were protected in their rights
i'll the matter.
These vigorous protests have pee.

OPENS USHER

Richardson Nc. . was completed
yesterday on the southwest quarter of
section 5-39-7s, Salt Creek, by the Con-
solidated Royalty Oil company with
a daily production Of 800 barrels at
1884 feet. A three-day test will be
run. starting today. which is expected
to make a larger average on the out
put.
This is the second well completed
on what is known as Tract c which
was purchased at the Douglas sale
last year for 1926. 900 by C. B. Rich.
ardson. No. /. which was completed
about so days ago. is now showing an
average output of 1.142 barrels daily.
No. 2 is drilling at 2.I14 feet and a
completion is expected the latter part
of this week. n 4 is drilling at 100
feet Rig has been completed for No.

IMPORTANT TEST WELL
IN GILLETTE REGION

The test well on a new structure
north OF Gillette which Is now being
drilled by the Tom Dun syndicate is
causing considerable interest, as It
carries great possibilities. according to
a local geologist who discovered and
mapped the structure.
This dome is OF considerable size
being about nine miles in length and
four miles wide at the broadcast point
and ranges in a northwest. south
easterly direction. the southern end
being almost at the city limits of Gil
lette- The logical drilling point is
said to be at a point about our miles
north of that city. owing to a slight
faulting in the northeast rim.
The drilling depth is estimated at
from 2,4o0 to $500 feet and carries a
good chance OF obtaining a lighter oil
than is found at Salt Creek.
The structure is a TO be much
better looking than Salt Creek. with
better surface formations and 1t is
possible to stand at one point and see
the entire rim of tho structure
