LONE FIRE LOOKOUT
WILL BE IN CHARGE
OF TWO TEACHERS
BELLINGHAM, Wash., April 21 (by
Associated Press).—Two school teach
ers, Miss Cora Crosby of Bellingham
and Miss Thompson of Everett, have
been named to serve this summer at
a lone fire lookout station on Sour
dough mountain, north of here.
A lookout “cage” or cabin, located
.at an elevation of 7,000 feet, vill be
occupied by the girls. Steel cables, !
extending over the roof, anchor the
cabin to the rocks, so that winds will
not hurl it down the mountainside.
The girls will be alone on the peak,
connected with the outside world only
by a telephone wire, over which they
will report fires. Former occupants of
the station say snow blows ^there in
July and August, and bears and ptarmi
gan frequently are found near by.
Charles N. Park, forestry super
visor, engaged the girls to take the
posts for two months, beginning July 1.
TEXAS CUT OFF WASTE
OF ITS NATURAL GAS
AUSTIN, Texas, April 28 (by Asso
ciated Press).-—The waste of natural
gas in Texas, which at one time
amounted to 300,000 cubic feet, or the
fuel equivalent of 26,000 tons of coal
per day, has been reduced until there
is no considerable waste, according to
a statement from the oil and gas di
vision of the Texas railroad cominis
*ion. The statement says in part:
“The railroad commission gives
■credit for this happy condition largely
to the operators, who have shown
such a splendid spirit of co-operation,
■especially so when there is so little
market for gas as at present, and
where in many cases, if the wells
were allowed to blow, the might come
in as good oil producers.”

OLD ARTESIAN WELL
COMES TO LIFE AS
PRODUCER OF STEAM
MILES CITY, Mont., April 21 (by
Associated Press).—Residents of this
city are astonished over the unseemly
behavior of an old artesian well, a
landmark in the heart of the business
district, which, after a ten-year period
of inactivity, recently came to life
by producing steam.
Explanations for this erratic be
havior of a once reliable cold water
source are numerous but unsatisfac
tory. At any rate, the water is boil
ing within a foot of the top of the
pipe, and it is believed that the well
has turned into a geyser and hot
spring.
COMEDY-DRAMA IS
BILL FOR TONIGHT
Another delightful, sparkling com
edy-drama, brimfull of excitement,
mystery and romance, is “The Social
Quicksands,” played by Francis X.
Bushman and Beverly Bayne. Warren
Dexter (Bushman) is trying hard to
keep from being married to a society
butterfly whom he has never seen.
But Phyllis (Beverly Bayne) is so de
termined she changes clothes with a
girl crook and arouses Warren’s in
terest. The rest of the story is full
of surprises, and must be seen to be
appreciated. A two-reel comedy, “No
Mother to Guide Him,” completes the
program at the Empress tonight.
The Style Shop is offering some ex
ceptional bargains in necessary mer
chandise at its special sales, which
the ladies should not overlook. Drop
