THE ANTT-VOLSTEAD DRIVE

big '.wet drive is now on in Washington. Hear
ngs starting in the house on several dozen bills
seeking to modify and lberaze the Volstead Act
Foes of that act are heading for the capital in big
delegations, from almost every part of the country
but especially from eastern states. There will be
great effort made, in the next few weeks to influence
the public and influence Congress- And as far as any
legislative results are concerned, the vets will
tanly fail. t.>
They will fail in spite of the fact that millions of
intelligent citizens who do not drink and have no in
terest in the liquor traffic. believe the Vostead Act is
unwise and possibly unfair.
Every intelligent man or woman knows that
beverage may contain ethan onehalf of per cent
or aicohol without being Intoxicating. Many pro-
hbtlonlst will readily admit that beer containing 275
per cent of alcohol might do little or no harm to the
drinkers. But honest friend of the Eighteenth
Amendment will point out certain pertinent facts such
these:
That the Volstead Act was a protest perhaps
overdrasc but the less natural against liquor
traffic which had become center and source of in
tolerabe evil with at least the passive consent of MANY
OF the people who now demanding "beer and light
Wines"
That the friends of prohibition will sternlv oppose
any present effort to break down the Volstead Act
from fear of reyvng the oldfashioned saloon and it's
attendant evils.
That otherwise tolerant citizens grow ntolerant
the moment 1t is suggested that the present enforce
ment law be modified largely because thew have been
SO disgusted and alarmed by the orgy of bootlegging
encouraged and participated in by many of the "wets'
now appealing to Congress-
II the ''weta" want more liberal enforcement
law, perhaps the best way to get it to hep enforce
the present law Thus they might win tolerance and
sympathy. '

HOd Carriers Rub Elbows With
MiIIiOnaires as Thousands
Pay Respects to Dead Leader

aides, representatives of the army
and navy and politicians of nation
al fame who played the bigger
game with Murphy.
Scrub Women, Elevator Mem
But in the silent line that passed
the still figure in the coffin and III
the back benches at the cathedral
and on the sidewalks as Mcrphv
passed for the last time there were
tired faced scrub women and hod
carriers and crippled elevator men
an dothers in shabby regalia Of
some patronage, all with q last
prayer of thanks for what Char
ley' had done for them.
The scene around the brown stone
house on the sun-strewn East Side
park where Murphy lived and died
was a remarkable one. Here, in
deed, rich and poor rubbed elbows
in n tight packed, orderly throng
that stretched for blocks in all di-
rections from the home.
Besides the silk hats and frock
coats of the West Side, worn even
in solemnity with that iaunty air
that only an Irishman can impart,
there were the flannel shirts of the
East Side. The brogue of old Ire
land ran through the throng, thick
ening where the white haired mourn
ers of Tammany stood at the steps
rs the casket was carried down.
This was the elan that Murphy rul-
ed for % years.
The widow rose courageously from
bed for the first time since she
was told of her husband IS death
and came down stairs to take her
part in the last ceremony. Heavily
veiled, she was escorted to linz
cuisine.
After services, at st. Patrick 5
the remains were to be buried in
Calvary cemetery.

Testing of Wild
Cat Well to Be
Completed Soon

Reports recently released by the
Spindle Top Oil Association, which
is drilling wild-cat' well on
the South West Quarter Section %,
township Z South Range 10 East,
San Demanding meridian, to test
the possibilities of securing CONNER
c1al production of oil from the dis
trlct north of the Salton, Riverside
County, are that the hole has been
drilled to depth of over 1900 feet
and work is steadily in- progress.
The bailings from the well for
over the last forty feet have been
showing heavily of an asphaltic pc
troleum residue which is the i'm
pregnation of the sandy brown and
blue shales being penetrated. Over
1000 feet of water is being car
ried in the hole which eXerts
hydrostatic pressure of over 434
pounds per square inch at the bot
tom of the hole and prohibits &
correct estimation of the oil satura-
tion of the formations it being
said, however, that the commercial
values of the finding would be
negligible, if any, as the porosity
of the strata is adverse to quanti-
ty.
This test is being made with use
of "cable tool' rig. Ten inch cas-
ing is being carried down at pre-
sent and the concern plans a deep
test of the field provided future
conditions warrant.
A phenomena of this well is in
the abnormal temperatures Of the
formations, the highest recorded be-
ing that of l72 degrees Fahrenheit at
1868 feet. A careful record of the
geo-thermal gradient of this well is
being kept in logging of the well.
This test is being drilled in a
large asymmetrical anticlinal dome
believed to be of Pliocene Age. The
formations found to date are of
sedimentary origin and are char
acteristic of oil field lithology of
this state. The fold is on the north
edge of the Imperial Valley and is
so situated to favor concentration
of the petroleum content of an ex
pansive area formed by the geo
syncline of the valley which is over
200 feet below sea level.
The tertiary beds of Riverside,
San Diego and Imperial counties are
stated to represent probably the
most extensive undeveloped oil
containing regions of the west and
a successful completion of test
will precipitate the usual "boom. +"
