I5cn Helfrieh was in town from
Lanionta Tuesday and states that
much interest is being taken by
the people in his section over the
bright prospects of oil being struck
by the Madras Oil Company in
their drilling operations on the
west slope of Urizity Mountain,
The drill has sunk to a depth of
over 80 feet, water having Wen
truck, which is strongly impreg
nated with oil secpace. This is
believed to be certain indication of
the presence of oil. When this
water is set aside in a pail a skum
of oil quickly rises to tho surface,
and thus encouraged the drilling
s rapidly proceeding.
The Wool Situation.
Thomas in Jail.
M. Thomas, arrested at Prine
ville, charged with impersonating
a special agent of the interior de
partment and under which guise it
is claimed that he had Eecured
large sums of money by persons
desiring quick locations on land
is in the county jail awaiting some
one to go his bond. Thomas was
arrested upon a complaint filed
with United States Attorney John
McCourt by L R. Clavis, chief of
the field division of the interior
department.
It is claimed by the government
that some man has been working a
game similar, to the one of which
Thomas is accused in the different
states of the northwest for the last
two years. All this time the
United States authorities have
been on the bogus agent's trail.
In the arrest of Thomas they be
lieve that the operator, has at last
been arrested.
In one case it is alleged that
i nomas asKeu fouuu trom one
man. For this sum he promised
to hasten a patent through the
general land office which would
settle the title of the land beyond
. i rrt . .
a question. ine victim got, wise
to the scheme, according to the
complaint, and stopped payment
on the check. Thomas, not to be
outdone, brought suit to collect the
money which had been assured
him.
Uncle Sam did the rest.
Thomas' case will be presented to
the next federal grand jury. Until
he raises bail he will remain in
jail. Portland Journal.
While tho feeling in the wool
market in the West is reasonably
firm, there is not much improve
ment in the East, judging from
the latest mail advices received
Buyers in this section, however,
continue to pay full price for the
best clips, as is shown by the sale
at Scio and the recent sales in
Kastern Oregon. The Scio pool
for which 15 3-5 cenU was paid is
considered as the best single lot in
the valley, and practically all of it
grades as No. 2.
iNew wools trom the W est are
reaching the Eastern markets in
increasing quantity, where the of
ferings attract considerable at
tention, though there is no rush to
acquire them by manufacturers.
The Arizona wools lnve sold well
and are now pretty well cleaned
up. Latest transactions are small
lots at 16 to 17c, or about 50c
clean, and 25,000 pounds clothing
at 16 to 16 Jc, the scoured cost be
ing 42 to 43c. A fair amount of
new half-blood Utah sold at Bos
ton at 18c to cost 47 to 4Sc clean
and a small lot of Nevada lambs
changed hands on the scoured
basis of 55c.
There is a fair movement in old
wools in the Boston market, but
no large lines have been trans
ferred. Most sales are 25,000
pounds to 50,000 pounds each or
smaller. Clothing wools are still
talked of as quiet and the demand
for them shows no material ini'
provement. Oregonian.

S?. CUiott,
With last Sunday, the pastorate
of Bev. J. T. Moore, of the loca
Baptist church, came to a close
Mr. Moore has been thus connect
ed at Prineville for nearly three
years, dining which time he has
faithfully served the church and
the community. His family, also,
have been held in high esteem in
the church and out of it. They
will remain in the community for
an indefinite time, however, until
Mr. Moore's arrangements are fully
made. He has recived a number
of calls from other churches, one
being from Little Rock, Ark., and
another from Lakeview, Oregon.
He is inclined to accept the latter
and expects to go there next week
to look the field over.
Mr. Moore has been a conspicu
ous figure in temperance agitation
while here and particularly in the
recent campaign. He never quib
bled, nor in any way evaded the
issue, but desired that every man
know that for which he stood, and
every thoughtful person will honor
him for his fearlessness and candor.
On account of this, he was held in
high esteem by the more agressive
people of the other churches as
well as of his own. So much so,
indeed that the Methodist services
were dismissed last Sunday even
ing that the people might hear Mr.
Moore in his farewell sermon. As
a result, the Union church was
well filled by a very attentive and
sympathetic audience. At the
close, Rev. Mr. Ilousel spoke en
thusiastically in appreciation of
Mr. Moore and his work, from the
standpoint of the Methodist people,
placing emphasis on the question
of public morals. The relation be
tween the two churches is very
cordial and fraternal.
