is promising to take q leading part

In its new stadium Roland GAR

of the most gorgeous stages upon
which a set of tennis could be
played. The stadium, a memorial to
the aviator whose name it bears,
situated in a beautiful grove of

TESTING WELL
AT 1901 FEET
R~aymondville Supply
Of Water Hoped to
Be Increased
Especial to The Heraid)


RAYMONDvILLE, July 27.-one
of the deepest water wells ever
drilled in willscy county Is being
tested at a depth Of 1900 feet, TO
determine il water in sufficient
quantity has been reached. The
we'll Is being drilled for the city Of
Raymondville by the Layne-Texas
company of Houston, and a stratum
Of water sand has been encountered,
after drilling through a thick layer
Of rock formation. The only ques-
ton is whether the sand will furnish
a sufficient quantity Of water nc this
depth. and IL il does not. it is *
pected that the drill will continue
until a good flow encountered.
In most sections Of Willacy coun-
ty, artesian water IL found at a
depth Of from 900 to 1900 feet, and
a number of wells has been drilled
throughout the Raymondviile sec
ton with a goo flow Of water M
100 feet. The present city well
does not afford sufficient water for
the needs OF the town, and IL became
imperative that q more productive
well be obtained. The city has
grown to where q consumption Of 400
gallons Of watr per minute, or about
one-half million gallons per day, is
required for all purposes, and the
present we'll now supplying the city
furnishes only about one-half that
quantity Of water.
An elevated water tank 1876 feet
high and holding $4,000 gallons Of
water has just been completed and
connected up with the mains, which
il in addition to a concrete reser-
voir with a capacity of 10000 gal
Ions. In addition 10000 feet OF
mains. four. six and eight inches In
diameter, have been installed, ac-
cording to Water Superintendent
Charles Zolninger, who states that
the greater portion is Of the eight
inch size. The system has been i'm
proved throughout, and with the
completion of the we'll now in pro-
cess, R~aymondville will have one Of
the best water systems in the Val
ley, and a bountiful supply Of ex-
cellent water, healthful and well
adaptable for all purposes.

out, Is sending these pioneers into
the most inhospitable region on the
globe. The vast south polar CONT
nent, nearly as large as the United
States and the mainland Of Canada
together, is the last great geograph-
ical challenge TO science. Buried un-
der a colossal ice-cap, il has given
only fregmentary interviews to the
g%eologist, meteorologist, oceanogra-
pher, paleontologist, biologist and the
other ~biographers of the planet
Earth.
Now. however. science Is taking TO
the air. and given good luck its repre-
sentatives with the forthcoming expe-
ditions should see and learn more
about the Antarctic in a few days
than the men Of cledging days saw
and learned in years.
The persistent efforts Of explor-
ers since the time OF the famous Cap
tain Cook have CLEANED such seant
information about this frozen land
that even today sections of its out
line must be drawn by guess. Parts
of the coast and their immediate him
terlands have been explored rather
thoroughly and have yielded valuable
data. but the narrow stretches Of the
far interior seen by Amundsen, Scott
and Shackleton are the only recorded
glimpses of the continents heart.
There Antarctica lies, surrounded
and covered by ice-a huge white
dome with the South Pole hear its
center, perched on a plateau nearly

two miles high, and the remainder Of
its 100000 square miles tapering
Il the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian
oceans.
The ice-cap is believed to extend
down to the sea ut nearly all points.
IL terminates generally In towering,
unscalable Ice cliffs from which
break huge bergs, covering the ocean
with white mountains and closely
packed ice that holds ships at bay.
Parts Of the coast are more Access
sible than others, and 10 Is from two
such points that the three expeditions
purpose to operate. A glance At the
map shows two great indentations. or
gulfs-one, Ross Sea, opposite New
Zealand; the other. Weddell Sea,
across from South America.
The Byrd and wilkins parties plan
10 launch their aerial assaults on the
interior from Ross Sea, or rather
from the ice barrier that chokes
more than half Of that ocean arm. II
was from this barrier that Amundsen
and Scott started on their trips to
the pole. Jeffrey expects to attack
from the shore Of Weddell Sea, and
will therefore be across the CONT
nent from the other two leaders.
The three zones Of flight, as map
ped in advance, will hardly overlap,
if at all. Byrd plans to fly east ward
over what is called King Edward VII
Land; in addition, Of course he will
attempt a flight to the South Pole,
which Amundsen and Scott reached
after laborious sledge journeys.
Sir Hubert proposes an eastward
flight along the unmapped, unseen
coast between Ross Sea and Graham's
Land, the western boundary of We'd
dell Sea. He does not contemplate a
top to the pole.
Jeffery's effort will start from q
base on the west coast of Graham's
Land. He plans TO do his exploring
eastward TO Coats Land. which lies
on the other side of Weddell Sea. He
may also try a trip to the pole and
across the continent to Ross Sea.

Aviators have great faith in the mod
ern plane, but they know that this
task is the hardest ever assigned to
II. Antarctic weather is the worst
in the world.
The Byrd expedition starts on its
100000 venture about the middle Of
August. Most of the SIS men and vir-
tually all Of the elaborate equipment
will travel TO Dunedin, New Zealand,
aboard the barkentine Samson, al
though the commander himself
plans 10 leave about a month later.
From New Zealand the explorers
will steam across the southern ocean
TO the Bay Of Whales, a threshold
to Antarctica on the Ross Sea ice
barrier, there to establish the base of
operations. They hope to reach this
point by January /, summertime in
the Antarctic.

a whaler for the long voyage TO the
Ross Sea, where il, too, will start
work. A whaling vessel will bring
the little party north when its work
is over.
Jeffery, a veteran Of the last

sails south from New York in SEN
