TOPICS

Frank A. Metcalf, U. s. Min eral Surveyor, has completed an improved edition of his map of the Salmon River dis trict west of the International boundary line and copies are now on sale locally. The map is 1912 x 561a inches in size and displays the location of practically all the more inn portant mineral locations and landmarks between Hyder and the upper end of Cantu Mt.
 It is MT. Metcalf's intention to ultimately include in the map every claim in the area covered. The making of a com plete map is a monumental task and can hardly be fully accomplished without the as- sitance of property owners. For this reason, combined with the fact that a comprehensive map of the Salmon district is badly needed, owners of min ing claims in the indicated To- cality are urged to give MT. Metcalf such assistance as they ! can by defining the location of their properties.
 A copy of the new map is on display in the Herald Office.
 Work on new building of the Hyder Drug Company is mak- ing excellent progress. The ce- ment foundation and furnace room were completed last week under the direction of Billy Swenson, who will also plaster the interior and install the stucco work on the outside walls. In addition to cement foundations and walls, the structure will also be further protected against fire by the installation of a cement roof, according to the owners. Work on the upper section of the structure is going forward rap idly under the direction of Nick Belyin, former local con- tractor who returned from the States to undertake the con- tract.

LUCAS GREAT
 HITTER, ALSO GOOD PITCHER

CINCINNATI, April 19-Charles Fred Lucas, red-headed Red pitch CT, led all National League hurl- CTS in activity last season. He appeared in 80 games.
 The pitching contribution. how ever, was only a small part of his years work. He won 19 games, an impressive enough aver age, but he also found time to pinch hit, act as emergency run ner, take a whirl at the infield and on occasion catch few fly talls in the outfield. He can catch, too.
 Lucas, a native of Columbia. Tenn, and resident of Nashville, is only 26 years of age and has just come into his own as a ma jor league baseball player. He re- ceived some support last season as the most valuable player to his club m the National League.
 When his strong right arm fails his ability as lefthand patsman will insure him many more years in the game. He can follow the example of Mike Don lin, Joe Wood, Sam Rice, Charlie Jamieson and other pitchers who became outfielders when their pitching days were done, or can put reverse English on as in the case of Bob Smith of the Braves. who left the infield to become a pitcher
 In any event Fred, the Red, will not have to worry for many years 5 to come for ways and means to make his baseball ability yi,lG him a handsome return.

OKLAHOMA SALT PLAIN
 IS PERFECT RACE TRACK

CHEROKEE, Okla, April 19- Natures perfect automobile race track is found near here.
 It is a huge slab of snow-white salt, twelve miles long and nine wide. The surface is as hard as floor and there is scarcely a rut. Little vegetation grows on it, although good agricultural land skirts the area.
 The tract is believed to be the bed of an old salt lake. The di- viding line between the salty area and the non-saline land is as dis tinct as a shore line. Wild ducks frequently mistake the salt for wa ter, and land by the thousands.
 Rock salt formerly was mined in few places along the edge of the area.
