Tho Standard Oil people had an expert on tho grounds for some time and he pronounced tho prospectB encourag ing and that company aptloned con sldorablo land there.

Rcxall Drug1 Store Nyal Drug Store. Phenomenon in Bursting FIng.Polc. With a crash that was heard for some distance around, the flag pole at 'the weather bureau office yesterday morning about 6:30 o'clock, burst and broke off about ten feet above the ground, falling across the sidewalk. No serious damage was dono. except to the flag pole which will have to be replaced. The bursting of the pole was duo to It being full of water for a distance of twenty-flvo feet above tho ground. The water froze and burst the heavy Iron casing. It burst with a crash and a pleco of the pipe was blown out some distance away from the pole. Tho flag polo Is made of heavy gas pipe. It is four inches in diameter at tho base and tapers to a three-quarter Inch hole at the top. How it could fill with water for a distance of that height remains a mystery. Weather Observer A. W. Shilling Is at a, loss to explain the phenomenon. Ho has made calculations and found that all tho rainfall that could have fallen through the small hole at the top since tho polo has been standing would fill tho base up only about twp feet, and that Is not allowing for what would seep away through the bottom. It Is possible that tho con densation of vapor on the inside would add a small amount, but what could fill it up so high remains a mys tery unless It could bo that tho pipe is connected in some manner with an artesian well.
