WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.
Results of a recent survey
of the celebrated Teapot

drainage which has reduced
the Indicated deposits to one fourth

committee investigation OF the lease
of the property to the Sinclair oil
interests.
That this condition. reported by
biologists of the Interior and navy
departments after a study of the
surprisingly low yield OF wells al

greatly influence the trend of the
Investigation. undertaken after n
bitter row in congress over It's

leasing OF the Wyoming reserve
brought charges from Senator La

For time she was laundress. Later

Ninety Years Ago.

Ninety years ago this month the
forests of Northern Minnesota were
invaded by one of those grave spirits
who went among the Indians, not to
barter, as did the fur-traders, but to
bring to them the lessons of Chris
tianity. This man was the Rev. VIII
liam T. Boutwell,.
After a year at La Pointe on Lake
Superior, during which he assisted
another missionary, Boutwell, set forth
on Aug. 81, 1888, for Leech lake
where he found virgin field for his
labors among the savage members OF
the Pillager band of Chippewa. Here
he remained for four years
years so far as the converting and
civilizing of heather Indians were con
cerned.
During this period, however, Bout

Man, the Independent.

Trousers are to be "wide and
straight" runs the style forecast from
the clothing designers of the United
States and Canada. We don't exactly
know what wide, straight trousers are
and we didn't know we wanted them.
But if they are to be the fashion we
suppose we shall wear them-along
with all the other men who declaim
against women's subservience to styles
and then walk up and take their ord
ers from the designers.
1t ought to be possible now for any
man Of middle age to plot the cycle in
which our fashions run. Let us start
with the wide, straight cuts for they
are the newest thing and we don't
want to be out of date. Well pro-
badly wear them two seasons, with
some variations the second year, and
then pass back to the old peg tops
with their ballon effect, reminiscent
of decade ago. After the peg tops,
the tight-fitting pants, with their de-
fance of comfort when one is sitting
down. That is about the way it has
been in the past and there seems no
reason for believing that our stye de-
stinies have been changed.
Poor style-ridden women, take les
son from the men. Do they bow the
knee to fashion? Never! Whether
it be in form fitting garment, peg tops
or wide, straight cuts, they stand up
in defiance like the gods on old Olym-
pus. That's man, the independent

Wire Te.egraphy for Mines.

In a mine disaster it frequently hap
pens that the same agency that causes
the disaster puts the telephone system
out of order. That is why mining en-
gineerS are experimenting with the
wireless system. In recent tests near
Pittsburgh a receiving station 30 feet
underground got short-wave~ signals
from outside distinctly, but the audi
bility fell off rapidly as the distance
underground was increased. In ex-

so ordering. That is practical and
commendabie merchandising. We
wish it success.
Consider the cherry. Michigan fruit
growers are now sending hundreds OF
tons of cherries to market every day.
They are not getting for them what
they want or what they deserve, but
they are getting all the public will
pay. What they need is improved de-
mand. They can get it, at least
among those who look to these col
umns for their culinary inspiration,
by advocating something like this:
Line pie tin with rich crust. (The
cook in whom we have most confidence
makes it with lard.) Pit sufficient
number of Michigan sour cherries to
HI it comfortably, making very sure
that all the pits are out. Biting UNI
expectedly on a cherry pit cools ones
ardor for pie.) Mix flour with sugar
in proportions of teaspoonful of the
former to a cupful Of the latter, and
roll the cherries in the mixture, virtu-
ally sealing each one to retain the
juice. Sprinkle about level table
spoonful of butter in small bits over
the cherries to enrich the fiavoring.
Bake in a moderate oven. Absorb
this deiectation when cold and sing a
paean to Michigan.
If Michigan will only educate the
public to this cherry pie it will insure
a market forever. And there is a
similar field for all its works. Mark
Michigan when it begins effectively to
cultivate that field-Chicago Tribune.

Human Brain During Sleep.

Most authorities appear to be
agreed that during sleep there is
lessened amount of blood in the
brain. This is why excitement pre-
vents sleep, or hard thinking. for
then there is a greater flow of blood

interesting manner by MossO, who
balanced man on a scale and showed
that the head end would become de-
pressed when the man was made to
think or was subjected to excitement.

TOOK AL SORTS or CHANCES
Reckless Motorist Furnished Every
Kind OF Thrill That His Passen-
gers Could Possibly Desire.

The Muscovite who was driving our
Benz ever Persian mountain pass
had the most original method of de-
scending mountain side that / have
ever seen.
Instead Of putting his clutch into
second gear, he would shut off his
power entirely and then go charging
downward at terrific speed. the big
car lurching from side to side of the
precipice bordered road like a runa-
way locomotive
The ordinary curves he took on two
wheels, presumably TO save rubber, but
when we were within few yards of
one of the hairpin turns with which
the road abounded. with nothing but
emptiness ahead, he would suddenly
jam on foot and emergency brakes 81
multaneOusiy, thus locking his rear
wheels and causing the stern of the car
to skid around the corner.
And sometimes, at the narrower
places, where the outside of the road
ended in "a drop into nothing below
you as far as beggar could spit" he
would give us an extra thrill by grip
ping the steering wheel with his knees
so that he would have both hands free
to light q cigarette.
