MO K|NLEY PARKLETS
(By Special Correspondent

(By Special Correspondent)
 Explanation: The name Mckln- ley Park refers only to the camp and station on the Alaska Rail- road, and is about five and a halt miles east of the entrance of the sc-called Mt. Kinley National Park, which is referred to locally and in print as "the park" A long jam near the depot carries a sign read ing: Entrance to Mt. Kinley Ma tjonal Park" This gives many tourists and others wrong inn preSsion.
 The height of Mt. Mckinley Gin Eskimo talk, Bulshaia Coral is nearer 26O0O feet than any other number. For a great many years books, pamphlets, etc, have been giving 20,300 feet as the height of this mountain, and has the same amount of fact to support the statement that proves that the moon is made of green cheese or any other kind of cheese. The au- thor of the yarn apparently slip ped in the extra 300 feet to show verisimilitude, but brands himself a fakir.

WELL STILL BURNS
!. AFTER TWO YEARS
1875 Pounds of Dynamite Fail
to Stop Oil Fire in
Rumania.
apecial plspateh . rhs star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MORENT. Rumania, September 28.-
The famous Standard Oil well FIRE,
burning with fury since May 2B, 1929,
has just resisted what was believed
by experts to be sure extinguishment
by a system which has conquered many
wild wells in America.
This correspondent came here 70
witness the explosion Of SIS Kilograms
of dynimite (nearly 125 poundS) and
to watch the disappearance Of the
great flame which has lighted the
surrounding country for more. than
two years. The deafening explosion
did blow it out but it came back
several seconds later. The cooling proc
ess by flooding with cold water evil
IDENTIFY had not done its work well. :.
Mr.. Kinley, the American Il expert
IRE fighter, whose father and brother
are likewise fire fighters came over
last year after all other methods had
failed, but could not persuade au-
thorities to let him try his explosive
theory. Recently, he returned with
moving pictures Of his successes IN
America and at once was given per-
mission to try for the coveted prize
offered to the victor.
Fails for Fourth Time.
He has Just failed for the fourth
consecutive time within as many weeks.
On one occasion, the second trial,
the blaze was actually out for three or
four minutes, but hot piece OF iron
which had been overlooked, suddenly
started up the fury again.
The powerful shocks have shattered
all the windows in the region and rent
all the plaster, stone cement and brick
walls, and as q result the company Is
continually in receipt OF demands for
damages. According to local calcula-
tons the fire to date has cost SO
lives, the majority Of them having
been lost through explosions in costly
tunnels which were constructed with
the hope Of deviating the flow OF gas
and oil.
These tunnels were built from long
distances and at great depths, and
their entrances resemble the entrances
70 the great cement dugouts constructed
along the battle fronts in France dur
ing the war.
Score Blown From Tunnel
An engineer says that the last tun-
mel, out of which nearly score of men
were blown at one time, measures
nearly 1000 feet in length and strikes
the casing OF the well more than 200
feet below the surface The tunnel Is
cement lined, but with all the pre-
cautions taken the power behind the
escaping gas and oil was too great to
be controlled.
The well, known as old $50, was
one of the first to reach the deep
strata, three layers down, in rich
Moreni field, and evidently penetrated
the most powerful gas pocket yet dis
covered The Royal Dutch. shortly
afterward reached the same strata
near by, and although the wells have
been flowing constantly the Standard
OH hre~ ranges on, not so frightfully
as even q year ago, and yet sufficiently
to battle experts.

The appointed end Of a Mexican

date and the others yer reserved

Of the herd fell down on July IS and
never got up again.
The untimely demise OF the bulls
was no less expensive than pathetic.
Though sausage bulls in Fort Worth
sell for a mere $40 per hundred

800 pesos irrespective OF his avoir-
