BIG OILMEN
WATCH VALE
OIL FIELDS
Says Prominent Visitor Who
Has Just Returned From
California Oil Belt
EXPECT HIGH GRADE OIL
California People Better Posted
on This Field Than Local Peo
pleRepresentatives Keep Cap
italists and Oil Promoters
Advised on all Movements in
Vale Oil Field.
"The big California oil men are all
watching the Vale oil field" said I. P.
Carr of Portland while in this city on
last Wednesday. "In fact they are
better posted than the majority of the
residents of this city." Mr. Carr,
who has large holdings in the Vale 6il
field, just returned from an extended
visit to all of the California oil fields.
He visited the Fulleton, the Kern River,
the Coalinga and other fields. He saw
the famous Lakeview oil well and
hundreds of other paying wells.
While in Los Angeles, the head
quarters of the big oil companies, he
came in contact with the oil men of
the rich Calfornia oil belt. In talking
to them he was surprised to find out
how much those oil men reallv knew
about the Vale oil field. "In fact they
seemed to be better posted than many
people right here in Vale, they are ad
vised by men sent here at different
times," said Mr. Carr, "and they are
certain that a high grade oil will be
struck very soon The oil men of Cal
ifornia are watching the Vale oil field
all the time and when the news of a
gusher reach there a general exodus to
Vale will follow. In their offices I saw
maps of the Vale oil field, those men
know just how deep the drills will have
to go down, they are certain that the
Vale oil field will be a rich producer.
They told me the Vale oil field had to
go through the same experience as the
California field on account of the dis
tance from oil machinery headquarters.
However, they are confident that
instead of the seven years' hard work
in the California field, the two years in
the Vale oil field will see paying wells."
Mr. Carr also made the statement
that oil lands in California were worth
from $2500 to $20,000 per acre accord
ing to elevation, the higher lands be
ing the most valuable. The object of
Mr. Carr's visit to Vale was to look
after assessment work on his holdings
as well as a business conference withT.
W. Davidson who has charge of several
companies here.

REECEMINK
CAUGHT WITH
FORGED CHECK
Purchases Pair of Shoes at
Vale Trading Co's. Store
and Hands Over $50
Check With Forged Name
ofS. F. Sutton Placed
Under $250. Bonds
While attempting to pass a forged
check at the Vale Trading Co'a. store
on Tuesday, Reece Mink, a young
man of about 2 1 years of age, of
Ontario, was caught with the goods
and arrested by Sheriff OJell.
Mink had ' gone into the store to
buy a pair of shoes and in payment
presented a check for $50 bearing the
name of Sam Sutton of Barren Valley.
Just as Mink handed over the check,
J. P. Dunaway of the United States
National bank happened into the store,
and the clerk asked him if the check
was good. On looking at the check
Mr. Dunaway noticed at once that Sut
ton's signature had been forged. The
officers were called and Mink was
placed under arrest.
Mink 'b record as a forger goes back
to last July when he went into the
Malheur Clothing Co. store in this city,
where he gave a check to Ed Hamilton
for $57 in payment for clothes that he
just had purchased. The check also
bore the signature of S. F. Suttun but
it was not known until several days
later when it was returned from the
bank without payment that it had been
forged. Hamilton was out $57 but
Mink's father came to the rescue and
the affair was quietly arranged and the
matter dropped.
On Wednesday morning Reece Mink
waived examination upon appearing
before County Judge Rishardson on
the charge in connection with the pass
ing of the forged check on the Vale
Trading Co. His bond was placed
at $250. for his appearance before the
next term of the grand jury. The
money was furnished, and Mink given
his liberty.'

GREAT THINGS IN
STORE FOR VALE
SAYS MARVIN
Earl Marvin, western manager
of the the Oregon & Western Col
onization Co. that recently pur
chased the Willamette Valley &
Cascade Mountain road grant,
was in Vale this week. From this
point Marvin was taken out in one
of H. N. Ford's big autos, with
Harry Ellis as chauffeur, to the
Harper ranch and vicinity where
he inspected the cempany's hold
ings. On returning to Vale late
Tuesday evening, little could be
learned of Mr. Marvin's trip ex
cept that the lands must be visit
ed and priced before placed on
the market.
Mr. Marvin expects to see
rapid development work in Mal
heur county during the next few
years. The company proposes
to locate many eastern people on
iU lands in this county. He had
nothing to say relative to rail
road count ruction so far hi
company' holdings are concerned.
i
Philip Francis, C. K. Mills and A.
B. Pomeroy, stockholders and officers
of the Myrtle Creek Gold Mining Co.
whose main office is located in this city
but whose properties are situated over
in Grant county near the Harney county
line, returned Tuesday from a two
weeks inspection trip of their holdings.
Samples of gold brought back creat
ed much excitement when shown on
the street Wednesday morning. The
splendid nuggets, running $19 to the
ounce, had been taken irom tne rocK
on the ridge just above the old creek
bed. It it said that from 15 to ZU
colors can be picked up any place on
the property.
The trip of the officers was lor tne
purpose of looking over the ground
with the view of putting in the needed
machinery. The company is capitaliz
ed at $640,000 and preparations are be
ing made now for the installing of an
hydraulic pumping system and plant to
cost about $45,000. This will enable
the handling of 1500 yards of gravel
per day which is estimated to run $2.
in gold to the yard. There is plenty of
water on the holdings, and as the
gravel breaks easily the cost of hand
ling is estimated as low as 1U cents per
yard.
Gold has been taken out in that vi
cinity for the past twenty years but
work could not be carried on advan
tageously on account of the water
froblem, which makes it necessary to
ift the water 90 feet above the creek.
With the use of modern machinery im
mense streams of water with pressure
will now be available and the gold
bearing gravel will easily be reached
and washed and be made to pay in
large quantities.

LOCAL YARDS
By Oregon Short Line Rail
road to Improve Switch
ing Facilities
MILES OF NEW TRACKS
Filling in of Yards, Erection of
Main Line Water Tank, Com
pletion of Big Freight Depot
and Building Brick Passenger
Depot Indicates that Vale Will
Be Important Point
Fifty thousand- dollars of improve
ments are to be made in the local Ore
gon Short Line railroad yards during
the next few months. The expenditure
calls for the filling of the entire yards
with two and a half feet of gravel, the
building of two and a half miles of new
tracks for switching facilities, a main
line water tank and also many other
additions that will make the local yards
the best equipped in the Inter-Mountain
country.
The new tracks will consist of a num
ber of switching tracks, the longest,
nearly a mile in length, to parallel the
present Oregon A Eastern track run
ning past the nearly completed freight
depot and near the proposed passenger
depot. Work in the yards will be
started as soon as laborers can be se
cured. On Thursday morning Assistant Sup
erintendents Wead and Harer, of the
building and bridge department with
headquarters at Pocatello, rushed to
Vale from the main line on a gasoline
speeder for a business conference with
Construction Engineer Ashton of this
city. As these men belong to the de
partment which has 'supervision oi tne
erection of new depots, the conference
no doubt settled many points toward
the building of the new passenger
brick depot. While here the assistant
superintendents advised the telegraph
line crew to run the permanent line of
poles only as far as the new depot site
and to run only a temporary line from
that point to the present temporary
depot office.
The plans of the Short Line people
in this city all point out that it is their
intention to make Vale the principal
railroad center of this . section of the
country.

CAPITALIST WOULD START
DRY GOODS STORE IN YALE
That Vale is daily attrating the at
tention of capitalists ot this and other
states is seen through correspondence
received this week from one of the
large mercantile firms of this state
which is anxious to put in a modern
store with a $10,000 stock of dry goods
and shoes.
Other people have also been looking
toward the building of a large hotel
and store buildings. Vale today is
mentioned on every side as one of the
best business towns in the northwest.
This fall and winter will see hundreds
of new people flock to "The Last
Frontier City" and many new buildings
will be erected.
WILLOW CREEK PEOPLE WEDDED
A quiet wedding was' solomnized at
the Methodist parsonage in Boise Thurs
day afternoon at 4 o'clock, when Miss
Amy A. Drake of Brogaa and Samuel
W. Jamieson of Jamieson were united in
marriage by Rev. W. S. Matthew. The
bride has been at been at the Owyhee
with her mother, Mrs. Mary E. Leland
for some time and the bridegroom
went to Boise the first of the week. He
is a son of Dr. Jamieson of Chicago, a
retired naval officer, whc is interested
in Willow River lands, and who arrived
in Boise Wednesday to attend the wed
ding. A wedding dinner was served at
the Owyhee at six o'clock Thursday
evening. Mr. and Mrs. Jamieson will
visit in Boise until the rainy weather
sets in and then will take a honeymoon
trip to Honolulu, after which they will
make their home at Jamieson, Ora.
LIGHT SYSTEM
IS SCORED A T
COUNCIL MEETING
At the meeting of the city
council on last Saturday the date
of election, for the bonding of
the city in the sum of $35,000 to
install a flow line from the Wil
low Springs to this city, was set
for Wednesday, Oct. 19th. The
matter of annexing the Nelsen
addition was also taken up and is
to be voted on. Many property
owners in that addition would
come within the city limits in or
der to receive the benefits of the
water and sewer system.
Manager Carter, of the light
company, asked the council to
consider a contract from his com
pany for furnishing electric pow
er if the pumping system were
installed. After Mr. Carter had
fluently and glowingly pictured
the advantages of electric power,
T. W. Davidson and others ad
vised the council to enter into no
contract with the light company
unless radical improvements be
made in the light and power sys
tem. This created much excite
ment and nearly everyone present
expressed some opinion against
the present light service. ,
T. W. Davidson said in part,
"Vale is today the poorest lighted
city in the country. Tonight 18
lamps are burned out on the four
strings lighting the business sec
tion. The franchise calls for a
good service, are we getting it?
It also calls for five lights in this
council room, and there is only
one light. The taxpayers have a
right to know why they are not
etting their money's worth,
ights on the streets are con
stantly burning out and are not
replaced for days. It looks like
this city is being furnished' with
inferior lamps. The plant gets
out of order, repairs are made at
the expense of flat-rate patrons,
and no warning is given.
From others it was learned that
unless better service was given,
the council should take steps
to revoke the franchise on the
grounds that nearly every resident
has been damaged.
TELEGRAPH LINE
IS COMPLETED
.
Vale now has telegrsrWc connection
with the outside world, the Western
Union line having been completed yes
terday. The instruments were install
ed in the depot yesterday and messages
can now be sent from that office.
Agent Manes states that people will
be given day and night rate services
although the office will not be open
nights. All messages will have to be
filed before six o'clock.
ONTARIO LADIES

events of the season was the reception
and luncheon given by the Civic Im
provement Club to the Work and Win
Club of Ontario on Thursday. A com
mittee met the visitors at the train

Commerce rooms where some time
was pleasantly spent in conversation

BIG EASTERN
FINANCIER ON
WILLOW CREEK
J. D. Hibbard, of Chicago,
Pays Vale a VisitIn
terested in
IRRIGATION PROJECT
President of American Security
Company of Chicago Goes to
Brogan with Other Capitalists
Legal Tangle Involving Three
Companies Brought Up Again
in Court.
J. D. Hibbard, president of the
American Security Company of Chica
go, was in Vale Wednesday while on
his way to Brogan on a business trip
in connection with the promotion of
the Willow River project. ' With Mr.
Hibbard were W. . Day and James
Green of Brogan who had gone to
Boise to meet him.
Mr. Hibbard is one of the principal
factors in the Chicago and Eastern
financial world, money from which ia
being extensively used in the'develop-
of the valuable arid sections of the
northwest country. He is particularly
interested at this time in the Willow
River project.
The relations of the Eastern Ore-
Eon L.and company, ine vvwow tuver
and & Irrigation company and the
Malheur Valley Railroad company are
said to have been complicated through
the filing of two additional suits in the
United States court at Portland Sat
urday, upon transcripts from Malheur
county.
Five law suits were previously on
the records of the federal court and in
a number of them the evidence has
been taken. Each of them involves
the right to construct ditches or rail
roads. The Eastern Oregon Land company
is the successor to the title of the old
Dalles military wagon road grant,
running from The Dalles to Vale, and
embracing some of the best agricul
tural lands in Oregon. It is backed by
the Martins of San Francisco. The
Willow Creek Land & Irrigation com
pany is owned by Dennis Brogan and
Ed. O'Donnell who recently went Into
the Willow Creek country to build res
ervoirs and ditches for the reclamation
of the lands purchased from settlers.
The Malheur Valley railroad is a
branch of the Oregon Railway & Nav-
fation company's road, which has been
uilt from Vale to Brogan on Willow
creek.
The recent suits filed pertain to the
condemnation of rights-of-way over the
lands of the Eastern Oregon Land com
pany for the ditches of the irrigation
company, as well as the roadbed of the
railroad.
The Eastern Oregon Land company
is standing upon the theory of ri
parian rights for the use of water from
Willow river for irrigation purposes,
while the Willow creek company i.as
purchased all appropriations of water
and is claiming the right to make a
beneficial use of it.
It is presumed that the visit of Mr.
Hibbard to this section at this time
has something to do with the legal con
troversy which will probably not re
tard the work of the Willow creek
company.
CHARLES BUYS PARTNER'S INTEREST

C. E. Charles Is now the sole propri
etor of the Vale Transfer Co. having

COUNTY JUDGE
GOOD ROADS
ENTHUSIAST
Believes Bonding of County
13 the Only Method by
Which Malheur County
Can Build Good Perma
nent Roads Amendment
to be Voted On. 1
County Judge B. C. Richardson has
become a Good Roads booster during
the past week and has been scattering
a large amount of "Good Roads" liter
ature to the voters of this county,
which had been sent to him by tne
Oregon Good Roads Association of
Portland.
The pamphlet tells why the "good
roads" amendment to the Constitution
should be adopted and Judge Richard
son believes that if passed the county
as a whole would be greatly benefitted.
It is proposed to amend Section 10
so as to read as follows:
"Section 10: Article XI: No county
shall create any debts or liabilities
which shall singly or in the aggregate
exceed the sum of five thousand dollars,
except to suppress insurrection or re
pel invasion, or to build permanent
roads shall be incurred only on approv
al of a majority of those voting on the
question.
The amendment grants to the people
of each county the power to pledge the
credit of their coounty for money to
build permanent public roads. The
question whether or not a county
should pledge its credit to raise money
for building any permanent road would
be submitted to a vote of the people of
that county and would be decided by a
majority vote. The people of any
county may issue bonds or warrants, or
any form of obligation they desire, for
such length of time and at such rate
of interest as they may determine; in
short, this amendment is but additional
grant of power to the people of each
county to manage their own business.

nesday of Carl Stradley, consulting en-
gineer of the Oregon Short Line, who
was returning to headquarters at Salt

the report of the proposed extension
of the Brogan railroad which appeared '
exclusively in the Enterprise on August

Engineer Stardley was only In Vale
a short time but it was learned that he
was pleased with the proposed cut-off
of the main line to join the O. R. & N.
railroad near the mouth of the John
Day. river. In fact Stradley stated
that he had the data in his pocket and
that everything was alright. It is now
believed that he was rushing back to
Salt Lake City to be present at the
meeting of the stockholders of . the
Oregon Short Line to be held next i
Wednesday when the stockholders will
be asked to approve a proposition to
increase the capital stock of the com-' '
pany from $27,600,000 to $100,000,000.
The increase of $72,500,000, if granted,
it is understood is to be used for new
construction work on the Oregon Short '

this Short Line engineer shows that
there is something in the air in railroad

TO IIOMESEEKERS
One million and a quarUr acrea
of land tributary to Vale has been
placed on record in the local Uni
ted States land office as sub

land district. The lands extends
south for a distance of 75 miles.
This tract is designated by the
land office department as non-irrigable
land and the larger part
is said to be especially adapted
to dry-farming. Homesteads arc
obtainable under the enlarged
homestead act of February 19,
which in part states that
320 acres can be taken up. Fiva
years residence must ba mada
and entrymen must show that
part of the land has been culti
vated. Commutation ts not allow
