The District Coniaissioners. it was

action of Congress at the last session
directing that a recommendation for a
new site, not to exceed $600.0 in

December Is. This report then must
so to the Capitol not later than
Thursday.
A thorough survey and study of
the relative merits of the eight
privately owned sites advocated for
the farmers market has been made
by the Commissioners, but they are
not prepared, it was said. to recon-
mend the purchase of any one of
them, until it is definitely determined
where the commission houses are to

The present Farmers Market, under

January or early in February. Should
Congress authorize the use of the
Mall site temporarily, 1t was pointed
out, it would require but little time
to re-establish the market. Other
wise the farmers would be without

FOUR BRAVE STORM
TO GET SHIP AID
Sailors on Grea. Lakes Tell
Grim Tale of Battle With
Binding Gale.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CALUMET, Mich, December 10.
-Four members of the crew of
the stranded steamer Altadoc, on the
rocks off keweenaw Peninsula,
reached here tonight after a heroic
battle through pounding ice-clogged
waves to shore from whence they
trekked nine miles through three feet
of srow to the Copper Harbor light.
house. The men brought here from
Copper Harbor on sleds were badly
injured and described the predica-
ment of their 81 companions on the
| Altadoc as perilous. The crew, they
| said, is without food and many are
in need of medical attention. The
Altadoc, the men declared, will be a
/ total loss.
The men, Engineer Roy Hardman
and three sailors, said the Altadoc
drifted helplessly across Lake Su-
perior when her steering apparatus
was smashed in Tuesdays gale. and
! finally was driven aground a short
distance from the wreck of the steam
er City of Bangor, which was driven
on shoal last year.

Hardman said many members of
the crew were injured in the terrific
| pounding the freighter received from
mountainous waves when she went
aground. He and his companions
came ashore to obtain fresh supplies
of food and medicine
The four sailors hardest battle
came in attempting to reach land
with their frail craft which at times
was nearly swamped in its short
| journey of less than quarter of
mile through the huge rollers. The
| Altadoc cleared from Owen Sound for
Fort William, its home port, on Sun
day morning. Although weather con.
ditions were not favorable the
| freighter plodded on until struck by
| terrific Northwestern Wednesday
| night followed by a binding snow
storm, which made it impossible to
penetrate the Lake Superior fastness
for more than 200 feet. In the height
of the storm the steering apparatus
gave way and the big ship became
helpless before the onslaught of the
| gale.
Blown ahead of the wind from the
Canadian shore, the ship drifted from

Oklahoma Operations
In Oil reduction
Are Starting Decline

TULSA, Okla, March II up -
Operation in the Oklahoma district
of the mid-continent area are con-
tinuing to decline, the oil weekly
will say Friday. FOR the week just
ended, a total of 1862 operations
were reported as compared with 1915
for the previous week. This further
falling off in field work comes about
as the direct result of addition cuts
in the market price of crude oil.
Operations in Texas also decreased
during the past week, the reduction
reported being from 1884 for the
previous week to 1854 for the past
seven days period One company
alone operating in oklahoma and
north Texas reports that it has shut
down the operation of 77 drilling
wells following the reduction in the
crude market. other companies are
taking the same action.
The only state field i'll the mid
continent to report a material in
crease in operations was Kansas.
which increased from 48S to 900

About 20 boys are out each eve

annual inter-elass track meet to de-
eide the championship of the school.
For the past three years the
class of 1927 has won the annual
track meet. Beginning as fresh
men. back in the spring of 1924, they
won the honor for the first time,
winning the meet Should they win
again this year. it will establish d
new record in the school. Never be-

good form in the high hurdles. Nc
Kinnon and Hohstadt look about the

For the sprints, Causey, Nichols,
Hohstadt and Burton seem to have
the edge. Burton is out for the
first time this year, but is showing
ali kinds of speed and will probably
develop into the best sprinter of the
quartet.
Cummins is heaying the shot
around Al feet and Causey is hover
ing around the S9-foot mark. Both
should develop into point winners at
the state meet, with such formidable
records so early in the season.
Wright, is working on the middle
distance, and should be able to cut

he ran the SSO-yard run in 2 min

Houck and Burton are also trying
out for the half and mile runs and
