J. Wocbo, II. L. Peterson and W. Li. Tumor, business and professional men of Ontario. A yoar ago, twonty-flvo of tho "Hbl)UBlncsH nnd professional men of "Ontario formed tho Malheur Potro- luum Association, W. F. Iloman, Frank Itadar and S. D, Dorman bo- . Ing elected TrUBtcca of this AbsocIo Hon, and nro still acting In that capacity This Association procured tho sorvlco of Julius II, Fohs, ono "of tho loading geologists of tho Unltod States whoso flold men made n tlirco wooks flold survey of tho geologic structuro of tills soctlon of tho Bnnko Illvor Valloy, and mada a vory favorable report for tho strong possibilities of gaB ln com morclal quantities and tho possibil ities of oil of a high specific grav ity. Ho rocommondod that two or throo tost wells b6 drlllod In this soctlon to a dopth of 2G00 foot, If nocossary, to thoroughly explore tho flold. Tho Association hns had sovoral samples of tho oil seeps analyzed, nnd tho reports show that tho oil Indications aro of a petroleum Itaso with n high specific gravity. It. N. Dell, for many years Stato Mlno Inspoctor of Idaho, In con Junction with Duwulda of tho Un ltod States Qeologlo Survey, havo ihado n thorough study of this ro glon nnd nro vory onthuslastlo ovor tho possibility of natural gas In commercial quantities, botwoon Wolsor nnd Nyssn on tho anticlines on both sldos of tho Snnko Illvor. Mr. Doll dollvorod nn nddross to tho citizens of Wolser nnd to tho Elks Club of Ilolso on this subject nnd Is vory favornblo toward n thorough tost of tho local field. Acreage Assigned to Company Consldornblo ncrougo hns been lotisod by tho Malheur I'otrnloum Association nnd It hns agreod to as sign to tho Valley Oil nnd Gas Com pany, a cousldorablo proportion of this acrongo for tho purposo of drilling tho test wells. J." II. Youngkou, n competent oil oxport of Oklahomu nnd Mon tana, has tnado a thorough study of tho local situation nnd Is vory strongly Impressed with tho possibil ities of oil nnd gas hero. I Iff will roturn from Montana In tho near futuro and assume chargo of tho drilling oporatlons for tho now cor poration, which hopes to commoncc drilling operations by Juno 15th. Tho corporation Is capitalized for 100,000.00, dlvldod Into 24,000 shares of .non-nssOHsable stock of tho par value of 26c por share, and stock subscriptions will bo rocotvod lu tho Immodluto futuro. Over $13 000,00 has alroady boon plod god for tho onterprtso and It Is anticipated that tliuro will bo no difficulty In disposing of tho romnlndor of tho stock In this section of the Snako Illvor Valley. Numerous Inquiries havo already boon rocolvod from various parts of the Country relative to tho development horo, and a considerable amount of stock wilt bo sold to outside peoplo who are )ntorestod In tho development of what may prove to bo tho greatest nssot of thts valley. If only com mercial gas Is procured, It will mean a saving of at loast ono-linlf million dollars a yoar In this soctlon of the country, to say nothing of tho cheap fuel that It will furnish, nnd servo ns n stimulus to manufacturing In dustries who aro constantly seeking a location where fuel Is cheap. No Promotion Stock ,. This Corporation, being formed Hi by tho business men of Ontario, will havo no promotion stock nnd overy dollar Invested will be UBod In act ual development work on favornblo geologic sltos selectod by compotont geologists. Tho citizens of Payette nro very A much Intorostod In this develop ment nnd havo had two export geologists visit this section during tho yast yoar, who have also rondo very favornblo reportH upon tho sit uation, and It Is anticipated that tho citizens of Wolser and Payette will contribute liberally In tho way of stock subscriptions toward rank ing a thordugh test of tho Valley. The reason advanced by tho geol ogists for a falluro to procure pro fitable oil wells in tho past Is due to tho unfavorable structuro upon which the previous wells havo been drilled. The location of tho old Ontario well Is especially condemn ed as being on an unfavorable struc ture, and tho new Corporation will havo available, all of the reports of the best geologists in tho country, so that the site of tho now well whon finally determined, will be on the most favorable geologic struc ture In thts section, regardless of Its location. The Company Is already In nego tiation with two oil drilling Com panies, to procure vtho use of equip ment and casing for a period of a year's tlrao, In consideration of stock In the Valley Oil & Gas Com pany, and It Ib anticipated that in the near future, negotiations will bo closed for one or the other of these Standard outfits. Mr. Young ken Is of the opinion that by scour ing this equipment, at least two wells can be drilled to a depth of at least 2500 foot during the next OPINIONS DIFFKtl AH TO HOW UIIItAT DAMAUK HONK FHUIT Whllo somo of tho ranchers declare that nil of tho fruit crop Is ruined iib tho result of Mfltlllnv tilirllf'ii fhnut rnt 41m... aro others who doclnro that only n Portion of tho nnnlni worn hurt, It Is gonerally bollovod that nil of tho cherries, npprl cots nnd poaches woro frozon and that uomo of tho apples woro badly damagod.
