I COPPER NEAR ROSUBlRO. Prospectors for Oil Do Not Lot Faith Because of Reverses. The Umpqua Valley Oil Company, of Rosehurg, which has been boring ror oil at Myrtle Creek, has abandoned the well, after having reached a dis tance of 1B00 feet.

After the drill was removed is was found that tbe casing bad also been broken and part or It bad fallen Into the well. was later found that the well had been "plugged," and In such a manner that It Is now Impossible to work It at all. The company is do confident of. find ing oil that It has again let a contract to Loyd Smith, a practical well-driller, who will lmmemlately commence op erations on the new well within 12 feet of the old. Mr. Smith claims that the indica tions for oil are the best he haa yet seen on this Coast, and Is confident that oil will be found within 2000 feet SEALED BIDS FOR WOOL. First Pool Sale This Season HcM at Arlington Sale Small. The first wool sale of the season mder the system of sealed bids, in iugu rated in this state for the first Ime last year, came off in Arlington last week. It was a sorry disappoint- nent to both seller and buyer. Ovei 300,000 pounds of wool was offered foi sale, but only about 60,000 pounds waf sold. Prices paid for those sold ranged from 11 Vi cents to 13 cents The offers on the largest and ' best clips were all declined because tbe ruling prices had fallen below the owners expectationa. Dissatisfaction was expressed by a number of buyers over the sales made this morning by the local bank to a buyer on the ground before the time for the public sale when all the buyers should ar rive. This may have bad a tendency to qualify tbe interest of the buyers in the other lots listed. flucb Snow In Blue Mountains. Pioneers around Joseph say there Is more snow in the Blue mountains and spurs at this time than for a great many years. More snow has fallen thus far In May than was melted dur ing the warm days of March and April. It is claimed that the contin ued cold weather this month will be followed by excessive warm weather in June that will melt the snow very fast and bring It down into the Wal lowa, Grand Ronde and Snake rivers into the Columbia in such quantities that unusual high water may be ex pected In the "lower Columbia. Fruit Trees Fed Frost. A killing frost blighted the pros pects for an abundant fruit cror around Baker City last week.

That the Pacific Coast and especial ly the Willamette valley of the state of Oregon is especially adapted to the culture of flax, and that of the very finest quality, has been demonstrated beyond any possibility of a doubt by Mr. Eugene Bosse. the celebrated Bel gian flax culturlst, who has been con ducting a scientific course of experi ments in and around Salem for more than a year past, and is now engaged in raising tbe second crop for the pur pose of proving this fact to the en ure satisfaction of those who are now backing him financially, and hav shown heretofore a disposition to loubt the veracity of his broad asser tions regarding the possibilities of tha Oax industry for Oregon.
