test is in the eastern part OF the
county and is considered a wildcat

any water troubles.
The Witherspoon-Ross No. ]. six

The formation on the latter test is
running practically identical with the
LockhaTLuling field. and belief is
strong What good production will be
found at around 81 feet. The struc
ture on the CARA tract was worked
out by Foster and Reiter. well known
biologists. and the structural forma

will be found at around POO feet. The
structure on the Smith farm was

HEAVY CONSIGNMENT
 OF MAIL ON BEAR

Mail received on the Bear amount ed to approximately 400 sacks of first and second class matter. Of course much of this huge ship ment is destined for outlying sections, but nevertheless. the quantity for local distribution is tremendous and will keep the local office force busy for several days. By D. m. Friday all first class mat ter had been distributed and work was begun on the other class mat ter. Our local postofiice force is to be complimented on it's expeditions handling of this extraordinary large first shipment of local mail.
 Approximately 700 sacks of mail will have been received when the Victoria delivers her portion. The Buford carries no mail under con- tract as the Victoria has the con- tract for this trip at least. Added to this large amount of mail Unala- kleet also has large quantity of cold storage mail. left over after the maximum amount of winter con- tract matter had been delivered. The Donaldson likely will deliver the matter from Unalakleet.

 The new set of wheels are enorm- ous structures and will soon be placed in commission. Following dimensions will give one an idea of their size:
 Diameter of wheels inches.
 Surface width 4 feet four inches.
 Axle 14 feet long with dia- meter of and 5-S inches.
 The wheels are hollow. construct ed from 4x6 inch timbers and are braced within with iron rods one inch wide and one half inch thick.

The game Of billiards seems to have
universal appeal. The billiard room
OF the White House in Washington
was a favorite place with the late
President Harding and his wife. both
good players. For that matter, the
game has always been very popular
in the White House, not only for the
President and his guests, but for the
first ladies' and their friends.
Today women in the capital are
among the most expert billiard play
ers, many of them having perfected
their game abroad.
