îTfrr Œnttw 0>rnui' Srittuwl »S1 >O > I Raspberries, Fooled By Warmth, Are Ripening Drill Is Now Past 1500 Feet Chugging Away at Limestone. y I A A That the Guaranty Oil company is likely to present Cottage Grove with an oil well as a Christmas or New Year’s present is the be lief of Carlos Reeves, head driller for the Cottage Grove and Eugene wells. Mr. Reeves, President Olson and other officers are elated over show ings at the well here during the past week, Citizens of the city were invited yesterday to see tho gas and oil that was coming up in every baler. The gas was so strong that the water was throw'll from the bailer until its surface was from one to two i feet below the rim of the bailer, When the it came water was dammed as i from the bailer, what was easily recognizable as pure crude oil gathered in black spots on the surface and at the edges of the pool. About 1500 feet of water is kept in the hole, partly to protect the casing from caving in and partly to eliminate danger of gas coming up through the easing with such force as to wreck the hole and the derrick. President Olson said that he would like to have his drillers spend two days in bail ing cut the hole to satisfy his curiosity as to what there may really be at the bottom of it but he feared to do so on account of the possibility of getting into a strong gas pressure. , The drill, with 100 tons of weight, is pegging away somewhere between 1500 and 2000 feet in a limestone formation which is said to be the same formation which has capped all gushers which have been brought in in other fields. President Olson said that he would rather not strike a gusher—that there is greater value in a 5000-barrel well —but that his drillers and many noted geologists agree that gushers are going to come in both here and at Eugene. The oil sands, Mr. Olson and Mr. Reeves believe, may be found below the present lime stone formation at the well here. The big bit, with its tremendous weight, is chugging away at the bottom of the well at the rate of 30 times to tho minute and yet is able to make but three feet a day. Mr. Olson stated that so far the bit has not encountered any of the granite which knockers said it would run into and has struck everything which the knockers said it would not hit. My Funniest Story The warmth of the salubrious i ozone of this favored section of I the famous, fertile, fruitful Wil | lamette this winter has tooled the | raspberries. On the Gecr,.e Hawley place, under the protection j Mount David, these berries ripening. The bushes • arc i bearing so profusely as in midsum mer but some of thc berries are 'so ripe that they would not stick I to the vines while Mr. Hawley carried them down town to put on exhibition. Strawberries and blackberries ; also continue to ripen in small quantities and indications are that some families will be able to have strawberry shortcake for Christinas dinner. Physicians Offer Give Services The physicians of the city with the school board Tuesday night and offered their service without charge in administering toxin-antitoxin to all school chil dren of the city. This preparation makes tho person immune to diph theria. The sehool board took no action, feeling that the demnud should come from the parents of the children. The plan of the physicians was that the school district should purchase the medicine through a wholesale house, so that the physi- tions would have nothing to do in handling the financial end, there by doing away with any possibility of patrons believing that the phy sicians were to profit in any way I «from the administering of tho medicine. The cost of the medicine at re tail is about $1 for each person to whom it is ' administered. A manufacturer has offered to furnish the medicine at cost when he is assured that no one is to make a profit from its sale or adminis- tration. T. C. WHEELER DEFENDANT IN AUTO ACCIDENT SUIT As the result of an automobile collision on tho streets of Eugene on November-1, when Rex Wheeler, son of T. C. Wheeler, of this city, was driving his father’s car, a suit for $393 has been filed in district court by W. H. Blowers, guardian for Ralph E. Wheeler, who was driving the car with which the T. C. Wheeler car col lided. The Wheelers are in no way related. The T. C. Wheeler car was in sured against collisions and tho in surance company is ready to pay the damage, but tho judgment against the holder of the policy is necessary because the plaintiff is under age. The accident was said to be the result of carelessness on the part of both drivers. MARION DAVIES December Smart number of noted screen stars tell the “funniest story I know.” Among the tellers are Norma Tal- madge. May McAvoy, Marie Hay, Dick Barthelmess, Buster Keaton, Thomas Meighan, Bebe Daniels, Hope Hamilton and Marion Davies. Here is May McAvoy’s favorite: A teacher in a New York High School aeked one of her pupile, an B<ut Side boy, if he could give her the definition of a etoic and a cynic. "Sure," eaid the boy, "a etoic ie a bold what bringe babiee. A cynic ie what you waeh diehee in.” This is by Marion Davlesi The funnieet thing I ever heard woe a convereation between two girle in a motion picture theatre. "Who ie your favorite movie ac- treeet" aeked one of the girle. “Jeeeie Laeky" reeponded the other. "She’e eo different In all her pic- turee.” Tliis is by Dick Barthelmess: A FoUieS girl (not May Hay) met another young chorue girl at an art eale. “My dear,” eaid the chorue •you look like eome medieval fare—ae if you belonged to Renaieeance.” "You don’t look eo domed tesi! voureelf," wae the reply. N the I Have Your Baby By The Stars Says Evangeline AVE your baby by the stars,” is the latest slogan in really enlightened mys tic circles. Time was when good fairies and bad fairies presided ut a birth. One fairy brought wealth, and one beauty, and another grief or, perhaps, a snub nose. If the right fairies weren’t present baby was simply out of luck. According to the latest practice, however, par ents with foresight may invite only thc good fairies. In an interview appearing in the December number of Cosmopolitan, “Evangeline,” a noted astrologer, explains how, by consulting a map •of the heavenly bodies, parents may •deliberately pfan to have their chil dren born under good aspects, i. e., good position of planets in relation to each other and rightly placed In the houses and signs of the heavens. The parents may avoid such pitfalls as, for instance, that aspect which ____ ________________________________ NUMBER 19 Tljo high school orchestra, organ- izeil a month ago, is making splen did progress under the direction of Miss Ruth Stewart.

Members of the Pentecostal church, who hnve been holding a protracted meeting here that has attracted considerable attention from curious ones, appealed to the city council Monday night for police protection. They stated that their meeting the night before hud been disturbed by scoffers who had attended it, that the scoffers refused to leave until after they had been dismissed three times and that after the meeting had been dismissed eggs were thrown at the building in which the meet ings were held (the Steen hall) and at those who were conducting the meeting, while the police refuHed to interfere. Those who spoke for the sect, Mr. Melson and J.
