Rapidity.

So generous and gratifying has
been the response met by the finance
committee OF the Caldwell Memorial

shape. Members OF the finance COM
mittee arc ID. J. Westcott. NJ. D.
Riner and Earl Wheeler.
Mr.. Wheeler has been absent from
the city this week but the progress
made by Mr.. Riner and Mr.. Westcott
has been sufficiently encouraging that
other committees feel justified in be-
ginning active preparations for the
fall show. While the funds already
subscribed and paid in will not finaace
the fall fair as yet, il is confidently
predicted that no difficulty will be
encountered in raising tn ercmainder
OF the necessary funds.
Whether the building program is
to be undertaken or a contract or
day basis is one OF the problems
before the building committee. Plans
outlined include the construction of a
quarter mile race track west OF Ne
mortal park with fences. grand stand
and bleachers.
Supplemcnting the horse show.
gymkhana and rodeo to be given at
these grounds, other entertainment
features for the fall exhibition are
planned. Notable among these will

itial appropriation of $4,000 was
made by the state legislature in 1917
and which may be used only when the
remainder of the funds necessary for

paign for the memorial at Boise to
place a Stcunenberg tablet at some
suitable place in Caldwell

Heat Comes After
Summer Rainfall
Long Drouth is Broken
Crops Mature
Rapidly.

Following the rains of last Tues
day the district enjoyed few days
OF moderately cool weather. but the
closing days of this week were marked
by rising temperature. The showers
Of the 18th and 10Th were fairly gen.
eral. but they were most copious in
Adams. Valley, and Washington
counties. where they afforded tenn
pora1 relief from the severe drought
that has so long obtained. Weather
conditions during the week were gen.
orally favorable for maturing crops
and for seasonable farm work. Har-
vesting of grain is advancing in the
later sections and thrcshing is in full
swing. Yields are less than normal,
but both yield and quality arc better
than expected. Corn. potatoes, sugar
beets and all truck crops are matur-
ing in good shape. Prunes arc ripen-
ing rapidly and will soon be ready
to market. Apples are growing nicely
in the orchards where irrigation
water has been available in sufficient
quantities. Range feed is dry but
sufficient forage is Available for pre-
sent needs and stock, particularly
sheep, continue in good condition.

The surface ex- posures consist of clay shades with hard thin partings of calcareous shale which lie nearly horizonta1. and are probably of Jurassic~ age. Mir. Paige anu his two sub-parties explored a large area inland from the Arctic Coast between Cape Beau- fort on the south and Point Barrow and Cape Simpson oH the north. He himself ascended the Meade River for some 15U miles. These surveys indicate a wide distribution of what is believed to be the formation from which the Cape Simpson emerge. which is probably of Jurassic' age.

CARIBOU CREEK TO
 BE \ GOOD PRODUCER

The Fairbanks News-Miner says:
 Paul Denhart. who is engaged with James Stewart, Carl Brandstetter and others in mining on Caribou creek of the Salchaket district, re Forts that the first season has prov ed very satisfactory: in fact. he says. "l am so satisfied with conditions that I will be here many years to corae." The partenrship has been in corporated under the name of Salcha Mining Company.
 Reviewing tine seasons work, MT. Denhart said:
 "The plant was ordered on Feb ruary 9th from the East. and left Seattle on the 24th. By May 18th. everything was on the ground. and on June 18th. work was begun. Con- siderable ground was taken out. which was sufficient to prove the value of the holdings. and one clean up was made. Another cleanup is expected before the season closes. A crew of eighten men has been em- ployed.
 ! "A cut $50 feet long by 40 feet wide and 32 feet deep has been taken out. and as We are now in virgin ground we are extending the cut to ;S0 feet in width. There are nc l boulders and the ground is ideal for dredging. Slack water, owing to the dry summer. gave some trouble. as otherwise an even better showing would have been made"
 Mr. Denhart states that the com bined dragiine and shovel Is prov ing successful in mining, and thai only drawback is the present isola tion of the district. which necessi tates the landing of all machiner, and supplies during the period O snow. A drill will be taken in thi: winter
 A good future for the upper Sal chaket is predicted by Mir. Denhart who is of the belief that it will de velop into d. new camp for the inter for, as there are numerous creeks fl the district which are destined to be come producers. Mr. Denhart lef

Petroleum

The only oil produced in Alaska in 1923 was obtained from dozen small wells, one of which was drill- ed during the year on the single tract of patented petroleum land in Alaska, in the Katalla field. These wells are owned by the Chilkat Oil Company. which finds a ready local market for its product in the form of gasoline produced in it's own re- finery.
 The search for oil has been contin- red. but except i'm the Cold Bay field there has been no drilling during the year. Drilling was in progress during 1923 at Pearl Dome. IS miles from the Coast. Here the As- sociated oil Company sunk two wells. about 500 and $50 feet deep. but suspended drilling in June. The Standard Oil Company. drilling on the same structure. reached depth of 300 feet by August and is report ed to have reached a depth of about 100 feet by November. The com pany began the installation of a sec ond drill in August. George c. Martin. who hastily examined the Chignik region. south of the Cold Bay field. reports that what is known of the geology near Chignik is not favorable to the presence oi petroleum. Kirtley Mather. whc made a geologic survey of the north ern part of the Alaska Peninsula reports that some of the structures and the formations are favorable tt the presence of oil. A small seep age has been known in the regio, near the mouth of the Douglas river which flows into Cook Inlet.
 Sidney Paige last summer mad an examination of the oil seepage which have long been known neA Cape Simpson,. about 50 miles soutl east of Point Barrow, the northern
 most point in Alaska. He report that thAn are two very large seep tages amanAting. from sma1f ridge Iabout a mile apart and several mile tfron. the coast. These are marke' .

HENRY FORD'S CAR
 WILL SHAME SOLOMON

Chicago-The Chicago Tribune re- gently printed an article describing ?. luxurious private railroad car which is being built in the local Pullman shops supposedly for Henry Ford. The article states that mo- tting like it was ever designed be- fore, and claims that when it is con- pleted it will be the most luxurious private car in the world, even beyond the dreams of European royalty in its palmiest pre-war days. This monster of extravaganza will have tiled bathrooms, sumptious bed- rooms. a drawing room, equipped with an electrically operated phono- graph and radio broadcasting and re- ceivsng sets. In addition 1t will fea- .ure richly appointed office quarters where the secretaries and servants of the flivver magnate VII eater to the wants of their chief.

GOLD NUGGETS HAVE
 INTERESTING LEGEND

Major John C. Gotwals is the pos from the Kougarok river which have q story of gerat interest attached to them. There runs a legend. it seems which says that anyone who drinks the water nf the kougarok irver, on Seward Peninsula will never again tell the truth. A certain old batche- Tor made the trip some time ago to that part of the country and while there drank the forbidden waters. Upon his return to the outside he published far and wide that the in habitants of that part of the coun- try were all handsome. young. un- married men. This astounding an nouncement brought so many letters of inquiry to the Governor of Alaska
 from interested young ladies in the States. that the Governor is suppos- ed to have sent out a tour of inspe. ton to the Kouga rok country. Upon their arrival the people found that the inhabitants of the KougaUrK country were either all married, and betrothed to but one. and that one upon hearing such news, and the reason for the expedition fled with the two gold nuggets, the largest ever seen from that river. and has never since been seen.
