of the Sentinel, in behalf of your

a pleasant vacation V'
"No, I had a miserable time," an-

"That is why I stayed so long. 1 ex-
pected to stay two or three weeks. 1
found everything so perfectly awfal 1
staved seven weeks."
The reporter next inquired, "Did
you kill a deer?"
"For the enlightment of your read
ers I will say that their hunting li-
coiiie and my hunting license states
that you may kill one buck deer with
horns. Lead us not into temptation
and deliver us from evil. But people
don't believe anything they read any
how. No, 1 Aid not bring home a
deer."
What did you kill down thereV"
asked the reporter.
' What did I kill? Wish enumera-
ted? Well, hardly. Among other
things too numerous to mention I
killed time Also some snakes."
"Did you grow that mustashe down
there?"
"No sir, it grew itself, It happened
this way: I met an old man coming
down a canyon and he directed me
to the head of a gorge where a deer
'used.' But added that if 1 would
climb that canyon It would grow
whiskers on me.
"Was there good hunting there?"
'Correct at last. Splendid hunting,
l liey have a beverage lntltled, 'Choc-
taw beer' which la highly recommend-
ed to help the huuting. Their moon-
j -lilne whiskey however tastes, it is
j sutd, ol the iron pipes they use instead
of the [loror copper worm."

Regarding his Investigations we tak J

E .id.
' Mr Shannon traveled 225 miles in
an automobi'e Monday afternoon and 1
Tuesday. Monday they drove to tb* j
well, then to Garb r, buck to Carrier
aud i orth of the Inter place, south
thiuugh the hills west of town, to the
well again and then looked over lie
c uitry east of town. Tuesday tliey
went, Billings,'iarber, Black well,Ponca
Ci . , Poi.d Creek, through the hills
west of Pond Creek and again over a
p ulion of the territory covered Mon

c ' v commi. sioners that aside from

seen nothing on the surface south of

anticlines might exis*'.
"The visit of the geologists to Enid I
therefore, has developed nothing of
much value. Discovery of anticlines
would have ment nothing more than
the most favorabl- place to drill.
Anticlines exis'where there is no oil,
and oil fields exist where there a;e no
surface indications whatever ^o show
the antic'lnes. The object bf locating
them is to select the most favorab.e
location for striking oil should oil
exist. The red beds here prevent ti e
outcroppinga and drillers for oil must
take a chance on striking an anticline
"An anticline is formed by an up-
heaval of caprock and may be roughly
described as an Inverted V. The base
may be several miles In width and
water will exist at a c.mniou level
beneath the caprock as well as outside
