dera Govviuoi During Leg­
islative Session.
Mrs. Walter M. Pierce, whose
death has just occurred, probably
is the first wife of a chief execu
five to die during her husband’s
term of office. During the recent
legislative session the governor’s
wife was in an extremely critical
condition and the worry of her
illness probably was the reason
that some of the governor’s actions
did not seem to have had the
careful consideration that it was
expected that he would give them.
The governor put the welfare of
his helpmate above affairs of state,
and none will criticize him for
doing so.
Pierce was born in what

the women of the Christian church
are making plans to attend church
on that day minus adornments for
their heads. This resolution was!
made when an urgent appeal wo>
made to the church congregation
for a large attendance upou that
day. Someone bantered the women
by saying that all knew why they
would bo there, They replied by
agreeing to be present without
hats.
At the same time they
issued a challenge to the men to
compete as to numbers present on
that day. Tho outcome will be
watched with interest.

Wrestling fans anticipato some-
thing extra good from the card
arranged for Monday night. Chief
interest, of course, centers upon the
go between Ralph Hand, local
favorite, who will be pitted against
Billy Edwards, former light heavy
champ. The two have met before
and appeared to be rather evenly
matched. Both men have improve i
their technique since that time and
neither is likely to take a fall
from the other without realizing
that he has been up against the
real thing.
In the preliminaries Peterson, a
local bone crusher, will be pitted
against Napper, of Pleasant Hill,
who is no tyro on the mat.
Walter Woodard’s mill B, the
construction of which has just been
completed, started operations yes­

the Woodard mills has a capacity
of 75,000 to 80,000, so that the

The new mill plant is a modern

market conditions warrant such
operations.

School Attendance Hits

The report of the schools for-
February showed a total of 806 in
actual attendance, with 50 or €0
of those registered absent. Of the
attendants 232 were in the high
school.
The attendance at the
same time last year was 683, of

Boys who have little regard for;
the little wild animals that harm i
no one and bring joy into the lives
of those who love them are report­
ed to be killing gray squirrels in
the woods of the city. Tho boys
probably do not know that it is
an offense against the law to dis­
charge firearms within the city
limits and that gray squirrels are
protected by state law. Several
lovers of the little fleet-footed

Solution of Puzzle No. 22.
Here, Has Taken Over the
Operations There.
Oakland, Ore., March 9.—At the
unnual election of officers of
the Oaklaud Oil company Saturday
night A. F. Stearin was reelected
president of the company, R. D.
Bridges secretary and W. L. Cobb
general manager. Wm. Mallernee’s
time having expired as superintend­
ent it was necessary to secure tho
services of an export driller and
J. J. Woodruff was employed. Mr.
Woodruff is a man of wide experi­
ence in the oil business and comes
here from Cottage Grove, whore
he 1ms had charge of the well be­
ing put down by the Guaranty Oil
company. He comes highly recom­
mended as well qualified for the
responsible position he assumes
here.
Mr. Mallernee, who has been in
charge of operations at the local
Well during tho past year, will bo
engaged in other development work.
He will retain his interests in the
company and his experience and
advice will doubtless prove of
value in the future. Mr. Mallernee
took ehargo of operations here
when difficulties had been en­
countered in drilling tho first hole
between Oakland and Sutherlin
that threatened the project with
failure. He advised the starting
of a new well on Looper’s dome
and was instrumental in securing
the standard rig and getting it
started. He was also successful in
securing tho leases and raising
funds necessary to keep the opera­
tion in progress until favorable
showings were encountered.
To
him, therefore, belongs much of
the credit for the success with
which the present drilling opera­
tions have been conducted. With
tho widespread interest and finan­
cial support that is now being giv­
en tho project, Manager W. L.
Cobb and Mr. Woodruff should
have little difficulty carrying on
tho work to a point where it will
bo definitely proved whether or
not oil is present in this locality.
Evidences of oil and gas that have
already boon struck seem to indir
cate (strongly that a body of oil
will be found within a depth of
2,000 feet.
