Many of the visitors in addition to partaking of the fruit on exhibition, visited some of the orchards and had a chance to try peaches fresh from the trees. The band concerts were greatly appreciated and many compliments were paid the band by the visitors. scheduled The amusements for the afternoon at the Academy square were pretty much a failure excepting the ball game.

According to George T. Hansen, president of the Utah Southern Oil and president of the Chesapeake Duck club the hunters were in need of a supply of fresh water about 12 years ago. They hired a well driller to hunt for it. At about 500 feet they struck hot w'ater and gas. let the thing run for over 3 Vear- hoPinS the 8as would exhaust itself.

The water is about 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and the gas is methane ot marsh gas with a relatively low BTU. Since the Chapeake No. 1" came in, the nearby Bear River club has been operating a gas well and the federal government recently brought in a third well on the Bear River game refuge.

The main impediment in the way of the people interested in drilling for gas is lack of financial backing and fear that it would ruin the hunting in the area, Hansen said. Sids with marsh gas in them appear to be prevalent throughout most of the area immediately west of Brigham City, any way, he said.
