 In the obituary notices, printed In New York newspapers. Mir. Cort's birthplace is given as Woodstock, where he was born sixty-nine years ago, son of Rev John Cort, an or dained minister.
 The name "cortr is not known in Woodstock as far as the Patriot has been able to learn. Woodstock people interviewed became interested and delved into past church history of the town. It was disclosed that a Rev. John "Coit" was the pastor of the church in North Woodstock. Rec ords were found where he married a couple in that village sixty-two years ago.
 According to printed notices of the theatrical manager and producer he left Woodstock at the age of IT years and started a five years tour in vaudeville
 Vaudeville Circuit
 Later. having returned to the West, he started to build the first of the vaudeville circuits, acquiring one theatre at a time Williams and Walk CT. Weber and Fields and other we'll known performers were attracted 10 the new chain, which was large enough to offer twenty consecutive weeks of playing. Following his sale of this circuit, MT. Cort successfully operated the Imperial Music Hall, formerly the old Clark Street Theatre, in Chicago.
 As head of the Northwestern Thea trieal Circuit, Mir. Cort at one time controlled l50 theatres, including legitimate houses west of the Missouri River.
 Made and Lost Fortunes
 Mr. Cort made and lost several fortunes in the theatrical business. mostly in productions He went to New York in 1905 and subsequently, entered producing. Among his better known musical shows were The Princess Pat" "Flo-Flo," 1" Listen Les ter" "Glorianna. "Fiddlers Three. shnffle Along. "yust Minute" and "Roly Bolv Eyes"
 The last Broadway production spon- sored by Mr Cort was "China Rose,
 Tn 1910 Mir. Cort was elected presi- dent of the National Theatre Own ers' Association. which represented 1 200 theatres in the United States and Canada.
 In 1912 the Cort Theatre was open ed with Laurette Taylor in Peg O My Heart" as the first attraction. It was later sold to the Shuberts, but continues to bear his name.

H. S. QUlNT TO BATTLE
 AGAINST UNALGA FIVE

The sailor lad basketesrs from the Unalga will be seen in action here Thursday evening when they play the Douglas high school in the natatorium. A game has also been arranged between the girls first and second teams, making the event a double-header.
 Since it's debut on the Channel last week when win was taken from the Juneau Super-Hi team, the sailors have been practicing regularly to improve their play and although beaten last night by the All-City team, are expected to give a good account of them selves here. The student cagers haven't been exactly idle since their last game with the Juneau Hi and are all primed for the coming game.
 Between the first and second girls teams scheduled for the pre- liminary event of the evening, the odds are with the first string players, of course. But the second team is not far behind judging from the manner in which they i'm mediately took the lead when they opened the game with the Juneau High school girls last week for their few minutes in the game.

|0NE OIL WELL.
 | IS DOWN DEEP
Hole in Ground Is Down Eight Thousand, Five
 Twenty ThreeFeet

SANTA RITA, Texas, Jan. 16.- The deepest hole in the ground goes down S,5a3 feet.
 It is the oil well on-or rather in-Reagan county land owned by the University of Texas.
 The previous record for depth in drilling was 9,2O1 feet. This was made in Orange county, Cali fornia, and the hole was abandoned as dry.
 Oil from the Texas well is so high in gasoline content that it can be used for cleaning clothes or polishing floors without being refined, It tests 6G.9 per cent gasoline of 5S.7 gravity, 24.6 per cent kerosene; 65 gas oil, and one per cent sediment.
 Drilling of the deepest oil well lasted almost four years. It was delayed once because fire de- strcyed the derrick and again when the bit was lost more than mile below the eaTth's surface.
 Five oil sands were encountered. The first, down 2,s64 feet, gave an initial flow of 320 barrels daily, compared with the peak production of SIT barrels a day from the fifth sand. After 35,o0O barrels of oil had been pumped from the first sand, drilling was resumed and the seccnd was found al @ depth of 3,O2O feet Is total output was small The third sand was en- countered at 6,2S4 and the fourth at .S.4S4 feet n
 Cost of drilling to the first sand was S135,000.
 The success of the University Of Texas venture will lead to the deepening of other wells, which have ceased to return oil in paying quantities, in the hope that even more wealth than the original pro- ject contemplated will be found below.

DISCOVER CAUSE OF
 BAD TASTE IN MILK

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 16.-A source for bad flavors in milk, that does not seemingly endanger health. however unpleasant to the palate and bad for the milkman's business, was announced at the aeeting of the Society of Ameri- can Bacteriologists here.
 This source is bacteria known under the name of "heat lovers,' v because they germinate only Tn considerable heat. They are found in grow even in pasteurized milk.
 Dust from COW stables is one source of infection and standing of milk cans in a hot sun one means of giving them a good op- nortunity to grow. If pasteurlzed containers in dairy have to stand more than 30 minutes wait ing for milk. the heat lovers may .deyelop. so fast do they grow.
