Water Yielded Salt
The first well was drilled on the

day produced 20 bushels of salt
daily. The well was deepened to
500 feet with a daily production of
fifty bushels, and later drilled to a

for that time.

In 1868 the Wabash Valley Petro-

water has flowed ceaselessly for
sixty-two years.

Musk Oxen for Alaska.
(SeatJle Times.)

The Federal Governments experiment in re- establishing musk oxen on the Alaska ranges has attracted countrywide interest These Arctic animals once inhabited the region south of Point Barrow, but long ago disappeared. Their presence in the Northern Territory is only a tradition among the natives but there is why they should not thrive if protected from hunters
 Encouraged with the success of it's experiment in bringing reindeer from Siberia, the Government hopes to transplant other animals from Europe, Asia and Africa Naturalists now are looking about for suitable places for ibex from the Pyrenees Moun- tains chamois from the Alps, wild boar from Ger many, aoudad from Northern Africa and markhor from Northern India. It is purposed to make Alaska refuge for alien species, and eventually to trans form it into paradise for big game hunters It will be many years, of course before the imported game animals be taken in the hunt, but in the meantime sportsmen may pursue moose, caribou, bear, sheep and goats in season.
 There is the possibility that the hardy musk oxen be partly domesticated The few speci- men in geological gardens in this country tract able and gentle. It would not be difficult, in the opinion of naturalists, to increase the herd to large proportions Since the musk do not compete with reindeer there is reason why they should not share the range. Perhaps the day will come when as large an economic use of the vast expanse of Alaska will be made formerly made of the wild lands in the Eastern part of the United States.

HUMANITY's GREATEST SERVANT.

"The Red Cross" said President Hoover, "is the expression of the national will, the national sym pathy Its call is mandatory upon the heart Of .he nation" And well it may be, since the Am crican Red Cross long has been enthroned as the most faithful and greatest servant of humanity
 Wherever the Crimson Cross-the organizations universally recognized emblem-floats, there come the blind and lame, the sc. the weak the home less and hungry for the helping hand that is never denied to them. Need is the only requirement. to be established It knows and makes distinction of race color sect or creed. And in peace, equally as in war it's service goes without interruption, for while Peace has it's victories well as War, it also has it's want and suffering To these the Red Cross brings its ministrations.
 To list each of its activities would require large volume By it's Congressional charter it is directed to furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded in time of war act in matters of voluntary relief and in accord with the military and naval authorities as a medium of communication between the people of the United States of America and their Army and Navy. continue and carry on a system of national and international relief in time of peace and apply the same in mitigating the sufferings caused by pestilence famine fire, flood and other national caamities and devise and carry on measures for preventing the same" Under this charter service to suffering humanity has resulted in domestic, insular and foreign operations which in a single representative year entaed expen- allure of S15963,679 It embraced War Service Volunteer Junior Red Cross, First Aid, Life Saving, Disaster Relief, Nursing, Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick Nutrition Civilian Home Service and Foreign and Insular activities.
