Native Players Play
Football in Barefeei

One of the most unusual things
noticed by the w. s. G. football play
ers on their sojourn in Hawaii during
the Christmas holidays was the native
marefoot football players.
Practically every lad on the island
plays football and several teams have
formed what is known as the barefoot
league. These lads kick the football
with their bare feet, often punting as
far as SO or 60 yards. II wearing
tennis shoes, as is frequently the case,
they remove the one shoe so as to aim
the ball with their toes.
During one such game witnessed by
the Cougars, one OF the native lads
made a perfect place kick from the IS
yard line. Place kicks and drop kicks
are made with the ball of the foot and
the aim is seldom erroneous.
Native children in the islands go
barefooted until they are IL and 16
years Of age and as result kicking
a football sans shoes is merely mat
ter Of convenience for them.

Oil ssClosure" Evidence
Found by Mines Bureau

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow.
Considerable evidence of closure"
in the geological formation Of the
Horsheshoe Creek area in Teton
County, which enhances possibility of
oil occurrence, is afforded by the re-
cent gas gusher at the well of the
Teton Valley Land and Leasing Com
pany, according to press bulletin is
sued by the state bureau Of mines and
geology under the direction Of DR..
Francis A. Thomson, secretary. The
bulletin and accompanying map of the
region under consideration were pre-
pared by Professor Virgil R. D. Kirk
ham, one of the biologists of the bu-
reau staff.
Several shallow veins have been
drilled in this area, the deepest from
which came the gas gusher last DC.
tober, penetrating LOIS feet, accord
ing to the bulletin.
about 1,050 feet of frontier for
nation, which occurs in many Rocky
Mountain oil districts and produces
oil wherever it is present, lies on the
eastmost anticline of the Horseshoe
Creek area" the bulletin continues.
"The famous Wall Creek sands in
Wyoming occur in this formation, and
it produces natural gas flow at two
horizons at the eastermost anticline
on Horseshoe Creek.
1.-THE well being drilled on this anti
cline is located at the highest known
point on the structure. 1t is not i'm
possible that oil may be produced
from the gas sands by drilling farther
down the flanks Of the fold, although.
Of course, none may be present in the
sands. The Aspen formation which
underlies the Frontier is entirely un-
cut on both anticlines and produces
commercial oil in many Wyoming and
Montana fields, where it is known as
the Mowry formation. It is elieved
that this formation has been slightly
penetrated by the drill on Horseshoe
Creek on the eastern fold.
Drilling to depth Of 1000 feet
should penetrate this formation in
fold. The thickness Of this formation
will probably preclude the exploration
of any underlying Cretaceous forma-
lions. Although making by lava has
prevented the certain determination
of the existence or absence Of closure
! in these fold, persuasive evidenc of
it's presence is afforded by the pres
ence of copious gas flow with sus-
tanned pressure from the well on the
eastern fold. This gas would surely
not have been trapped had the struc-
ture not been sealed.
"The accompanying gas gusher at
the Tieton Company's we'll became ig-
nited and the consequent fire destroy
ed the outfit. However, it has since
been replaced by a larger Standard
cable tool rig which is capable of
making a fair test of the structure
Drilling operations at the former site
are again being resumed"

New Dairy Building
Nearing Completion

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE,
Pullman.-"The finest dairy building
in the Western United States" is what
authorities are saying of Troy hall, the
new dairy building at the State College
which will be completed and ready for
dairy courses at the opening of the
new semester the first of February.
In point of size, facilities and modern
equipment, the building ranks with
the best dairy buildings Of any college
or university in the country.
The structure is four stories, and
will be given over to dairy products
manufacturing laboratories and chem
istry laboratories. Among the modern
machines which are being installed
and which will be ready for use the
new semester, are refrigerating
machine, a 300 gallon pasteurizer, a
Mojonner tester, large ice-cream
machine, and Manton Gaulin homo.
genizer. All this equipment is the
best, and of the latest design securable
and it's use will lbe great stride for
ward in teaching practical dairy manu-.
featuring. These large machines, with
a quantity Of smaller machines and
other equipment, will Occupy IL large
laboratories.
Several new dairy courses will be
added to the curicula Of Dairy Hus-
bandry now that there will be ample
room to accommodate the students
who desire to enroll. The teaching
stan is thoroughly competent.
This combination of equipment and
teaching staff gives faculties for train
ing in dairy manufacture that are not
exceeded in any college or university.

For the past score of years the
famous trains have been roaring

great cities, but like every other train
in the country, they have never had a
birthday party. This oversight was
corrected when officials of the parent
railroads, the Union Pacific and Chi

birthday cakes in recognition of the
start Of the careers Of their twin daugh-
tiers on December II, 1905, when one
