BOOKLET BY PROF. KIRKHAM
CONTAINS INFORMATION ON
PROSPECTS IDAHO OIL

The state bureau of mines and
geology is now distributing it's bulle-
tin on oil possibilities in southeast
ern Idaho. Areas described in this
bulletin were mentioned in a press no.
tice early in the year, and consider
able development activity resulted.
The bulletin is the work of Virgil r.
d. Kirkham, a faculty member of the
school of mines, and is entitled "Pe-
troleum Possibilities Of Certain Anti
clines in Southeastern Idaho''
Three companies are now erecting
derricks and .'spudding in in the area
described, it is announced, and many
others are preparing to follow suit,
awaiting only the conclusions of this
bureau publication.
Teton and Caribou counties have
the most likely oil possibilities in Ida
no, according to this bulletin, Range
and township numbers of the most
promising areas were announced by
the state bureau early in the spring
when the bulletin went to press. AS
a result, the bureau says, "a strong
development and leasing movement
was begun by various parties after in
vestigatin the region"
Promising areas, as shown by the
first map in the bulletin, lie in a
broad strip across the lower center OF
Teton county and in scattered town
ships along the eastern border of
Caribou county.
'tIt should be emphasized" the auth
or warns, that in no case of recon-
mendations, does the writer guaran-
tee that petroleum or natural gas
will be found at any of the points
recommended for testing. Observa-
tion and experience make certain,
however. that the chance of failure in
an unprOven area is greatly reduced
by a selection of localities for drill
ing based on geologic investigation. :"

WOULD PROTECT
SCOUTS In CAMP
DEAN THOMSON WRITES SCOUT
EXECUTIVE OF DANGER FROM
WOOD TICK BITE

In view of the number of deaths in
the Inland Empire recently from spot
ted fever, resulting from tick bites,
Dean Francis A. Thomson, of the Uni
versity of Idaho, has addressed the
following letter to Scout Executive F.
D. Hawley, at Camp Grizzly, calling
attention to the danger, and suggest
ing treatment in case OF tick bite.
The letter follows
sIn view of the great prevalence of
wood ticks this spring, and of the
grave danger from infection by spot
ted fever to any one who is bitten by
a tick, | want to take the liberty of
calling your attention to the need for
extreme care in connection with the
Boy Scout Camp Grizzly, shortly to
be opened on the Potlatch river.
"As a constructive measure i would
urge that each Scout Master be in
structed to inspect each member of
his troop carefully at swimming time,
which l understand will be twice
daily, paying particular attention to
the scalp around the edges of the
hair where these ticks are particular
ly likely to lodge. This inspection is
necessary, as no bodily discomfort
whatever is experienced from the
presence of a tick who has planted
his feelers or tenacles on the surface
of the body.
'sAs to treatment in case such ticks
are found, l have no doubt the local
physicians would be able to give ade-
quate instructions, however, from a
recent personal experience in western
Montana, | can report the following
procedure, which l understand has
been agreed upon by the physicians
of that locality.
"a piece of cotton is saturated with
ether and placed over the tick who
has entrenched himself; this causes
him to withdraw his tenacles and he
can then be appropriately disposed of.
Gasoline l understand may be sub
stituted for ether The area sur
rounding the point at which the tick
has punctured is painted with iodine
and a slight incision is made with
clean sterilized knife or sca1pel. The
incision thus made is swabbed with
carbolic acid by means of a small
piece of cotton twisted about the end
of a wire or tooth-pick The carbolic
acid produces a slight local anes-
thesia, and the incision is then slight
ly enlarged and again swabbed with
carbolic acid. The area is then covered
with a gauze pad secured by strips
of adhesive plaster.
sThe treatment may sound severe,
but is quite painless and may be car
ried out by anyone skilled in first-aid
in few minutes.
''The Montana doctors tell me that
in no case has anyone so treated been
with spotted fever
"The recent death of Mrs. Dyer, in
SDokane, of two persons IN Coeur
d'Aelene City, of several in the Big
Bend country, and of number of
fatalities in the Bitter Root valley this
spring justifies every possible precau-
ton for preventing any of our laddies
in Whitman or Latah county from fall
ing victims to this terrible scourge.
1T is better to be sure than sorry
~With every good wish for the sue
cess of the Scout camp, which ] hope
to visit while my son is there, I am,

STEELE DEAN OF
STATES JURISTS
VETERAN DISTRICT JUDGE FILES
FOR SEVENTH TERM-WILL
HAVE NO OPPOSITION

| Judge Edgar G. Steele of this city has
filed his declaration of candidacy for
judge in the Second judicial district
with the secretary of state, on the
republican ticket, and, so far as is
known now, will be nominated and
elected, without opposition, either in
his own party or the democratic
party. That his seventh election to
this important judicial office will
come to him without opposition, is a
fact that the veteran jurist may well
be proud of.
Judge Steele is now serving his oath
consecutive year as judge of the dis
trict court, completing, with this year,
his sixth consecutive term. He has
the distinction of being the oldest jur-
ist, in point of service in the state of
Idaho.
When Judge Steele was first cleo
ted to the judgeship in 1898, the Sec
ond judicial district contained Latah
Nez Perce and Idaho counties. The
district was composed Of three coun-
ties for some eight years after his
election, when two more counties,
Lewis and Clearwater, were carved
out of the same territory, making five
counties in the district. Judge Steele
presided over the district court in
these five counties for some ten
years, when the legislature divided
the district, creating the Tenth dis
trict out of Nez Perce, Idaho and
Lewis counties, and leaving Latah and
Clearwater counties in the Second
district, reducing somewhat the duties
of the district judge, which had be-
come arduous with the development
of the district and the growth in pop
ulation.
Tries $4,000 Cases
A conservative estimate, based on
the number of cases tried before
Judge Steele in the past few years,
which will run more than 1000 per
year, places the number of cases
over which he has presided, at $4,000,
embracing everything from the most
atrocious murder to the most trivial
cases which could be brought before
the district court The number of
reversals from the state supreme
court have been comparatively few.
Aside from his first campaign, in
1898, Judge Steele has never had op-
position, in either party, in Latah
county, his home county In 1898, as
each succeeding time, he was elected
on the republican ticket In that first
campaign he was opposed by Frank L.
Moore. well known local democrat, on
the democratic ticket, and Willis
Sweet, former congressman, on the
silver republican ticket
Prior to his election to the district
iudgeship, Judge Steele practiced law
in Latah county for seven years
