CAPITAL HIGHWAY BRIDGE
TO BE DEDICATED

The $500, 1000 free bridge over the
Usage river, an important link in the
Capital Highway connecting the
metropolis centers of the state, St.
Louis and Kansas City, will be dedi-
Gated June ID.
This will be one of the largest
meetings ever held in the state in the
interest of good roads. The Jeffer-
son City business men in connection
with the officers of the Capital High
way Association are making every
effort to make the event monster
meeting, which will convince the peo-
pie of the state that the logical route
of the cross state highway is by way
of jefferson City.
The dedication will be handled joint
ly by the Cole and Usage county
courts. A large delegation will at
tend from Sedalia and they will take
brass band with them. Several
thousand people will attend the dedi-
cation, which will undoubtedly be one
of the greatest days in the history OF
good roads in Missouri.

MORE CULTI, ALTON
FOR GRAPES URGED
From the Joplin Globe.

]. A. Eastridge got away from his
strawberry fields long enough late
last week to make a hasty trip to a
number of vineyards set this spring in
the vicinity of Joplin. More cultiva-
tion is the only recommendation he
had for the vineyard owners.
"It is noticeable that the man who
is not accustomed to fruit culture is
taking better care of his grapes than
many who have had experience with
other crops and are too confident that
they know how" Eastridge said yes
terday. "Many fellows who own small
tracts of land and work during the
day have their newly set vineyards in
better shape than those who know
how but won't get in and do it. Those
vineyards must be plowed and kept
clean or when dry weather comes
along the vines will not do SO we'll"
For Fall Setting.
Reports from those who set vines
this spring indicate that virtually all
set out have thrived and promise to
grow we'll the first season. Many
fields where several hundred of vines
were set have not lost more than two
or three plants. One man who sci
out 1000 vines reported that he had
not lost vine. They are making
splendid growth.
Concord vines grow more rapidly
than do Moore's Early and for that
reason many who planted the two
have expressed some anxiety over tht
condition of their earlier ,lric+es
This is to be expected and there
should be no cause for concern.
Fruit development work will be
checked now by the pressure of other
farm routine but there will be many
who will set Strawberries and grapes
this fall. Fall planting of grapes is
to be urged, Eastridge said, and many
who plan to set grapes already are
reserviag plants for fall setting.

BARRY COUNTY ROAD WORK

Work on the new Purdy state road
is progressing nicely, according to
Bert Robbins, engineer. There has
been some delay on account of rains
and shortage of workmen during the
berry season, but full force will be
put to work soon.
CassviIle will let a contract June
9th for building road from Butter
field township south to Washburn.
There has been some delay in getting
ready for the work in Butterfield
township on account of the railroad
crossing, the federal authorities in
sisting that an overhead crossing be
put at that place. This being an
interstate road which is to have feder-
al aid, they wish to make the cross
ing safe for the large amount of
traffic sure to go through that way.
This matter will be taken up by the
state, and the state will probably build
the overhead crossing at later date.
They hope to get this road under
headway at once and settle the over
head crossing question later.
The two roads mentioned are along
the Capital Highway route, which
Southwest Missouri hopes to have
designated as state primary road.

DRILL AT JENKINS
IN HARD ROCK
Different Rock Formation at 1885
Feet May be the Cap. Drilling
Proceeding Slowly.

The drillers at the Jenkins Oil well
have encountered formation that is
a distinct change and gives every indi-
cation to hope that oil will be struck
when the rock is penetrated. This
formation was struck at 1885 feet.
For the last seventy feet the drillers
have only been able to make 5 feet
every twenty-four hours on account of
the hardness of the formation. --.
The head driller says: "The pres
ent formation may be the cap. 1t is
hard enough and is very similar to
cap rocks in other oil fields. We are
now busy resetting casing and we
would not take time for that unless
we thought this might be the cap
rock. We are all taking our wages
in shares and none of US desire to
waste any time but we want TO see
that everything is done right as we
GO along so that we can save the oil
wfen weyfind it."
The hast casing was set in hard
sandstone and has begun to leak SO
much that il is necessary to rim down
to hard rock and reset casing before
this formation is penetrated. Drill
ers and officers are very enthusiastic
over the present prospects and al
agree that the critical time is ap
ptoaching when oil can be expected il
it is here at all.
No water has been struck since
1910 and drillers believe that watel
will not bother for several hundred
feet and that this is the last time th'
casing will have to be set for awhile
at least. This hard rock has beer
drilled in to far enough that driller'
believe that they may break through
at any moment and therefore they arr
the more anxious that the water b'
definitely cared for before this il
done.
The patriotic citizens who are put
ting the wood on the ground and th'
many others who are putting up thel
cash each month to see that the worl
is carried on are real builders of th'
community and it is due to their ef
forts that the work is being pushe'
at jenkins. Should oil be discovers
all will reap their reward and if no
we will know for all time that goo'
effort has been honestly made.
