oil by drilling is regarded, as slightly
favorable in a fow places in Coos,
Douglas, Lincoln and Initio counties
ut even there the chances are not
good.
Seeps of oil have been reported in
practically every county in Western
Oregon, but most of the material de
scribed ns oil proved on investigation
to bo only iron oxide, a substance
which when present in water In mi
nute amounts, forms an irrldes
cent scum that lonks very much like
an oil film. One of tho so-culled in

Inflamable gas from the Bloughs
and estuaries along tho coast escapes
to the surface and it has been report
ed in one or two deep wells. The gas
found in tho wells has no relation to
petroleum but is formed of the decay

gas is used at present in one or two
places to light farm houses, at one
place enough is collected during the
day to run a burner for four hours.
The gas found in the deep wells is
more significant for it comes out of
the solid rocks just as tho gas in the
producing fields in other states docs.
However, a careful study of the
known occurrences of gas in Western
Oregon shows that the chance for
getting commercial quantities of it are
no more favorable than they are for
oil.
In Mr. Washburn's report all the
reported seepages of oil and gas are
described and the possibilities of ob
taining oil and gas in the different
counties is carefully considered. A

Should the experiments of Col. Rosa
for the recovery of turpentine and
other products from the stumps of
Oregon trees, more particularly ce
dar, prove successful on a commer
cial scale, they may servo indirectly
a very useful purpose. The expense
of clearing logged off land at. present
greatly retards and nearly prohibits
its use for agricultural purposes..
But should the recovery of turpentine
from the stumps pay the cost of their
removal or contribute materially to
ward it, this difficulty would be les
sened or removed. In such a cuss the
indirect result of preparing the land
for agricultural use would be a much
greater benefit than the original tur
pentine industry.
EARLY QUAKERESSES.
Mary Fisher the First to Be Pubilcl
Flogged In England.
No featuro of ttio early Quaker move
ment was bo surprising to contempo
rary historians as the prominent part
taken by women of all classes and po
sitions f.-; spreading Ita tuesssge.
"They were nor a whit hehliul the
men," remarks one seventeenth cen
tury chronicler. "In courage or In con
tpnt to material olmtaeleM, Imitating
them not out of a womanly precipi
tancy nnd boldness, but upon a Ue
'ermlnate advice changing, ns
't were, their sex and being transmut
ed from women to men."
A "laid matron named ICIIznhelh
Mooton was the first to be "convinced"
i iv I'ox'h teaching and became In the
cenr Hill) the first woman preacher
imoiig the Quakers. Ann Downer, the
young daughter of a clergyman, car
ried the message to London, gathering
nuind her the nucleus of that Society
'f City Krleuds which grew to be tho
model and rallying ground for other
towns and nations. Margaret, the
wife of Judge l'ell, was tho "nursing
mother" of the Infttnt church-the cen
ter of all Its activities, the helper nnd
thu ultimate appeal In all Its distresses
Mary Klsher, a servant girl from
Yorkshire, heads the long list of heroic
sufferers In England who were public
ly Hogged for their religion. She. too,
with an older woman, was the pioneer
who brought tho Friends' doctrine to
New England in 1l!5tl and tasted tho
first fruits of the persecution which
was meted out to her fellow believers,
even to tho extremes of mutilation and
death, by those who were themselves
tho survivors of the Mayflower. Mabel

Gotham's Potter's Field.
In Now York's potter's field more
than 5,000 bodies are burled In the
course of a year. New York's pauper
dead make It necessary that as many
as eighty workmen and hntf a dozen
keepers be maintained nt potter's field

eighteen miles up the East river, and

"When I lived In my young days in

Mark Twain said: "Onco when I wns
going out to visit somo friends I told
George, my negro servant, to lock tho

do so. It was late nt night when I re
turned. I went to tho stono under
which the key was supposed to have
been hidden. It wns gone. 1 hunted
around for about fifteen minutes, but
still no key. Finally I went to (ieorge's

vigorously upon the door. A black
head, which I had no difficulty lu roc

"Where did you put that key, you
