oij company .assured the listeners
that every ervrt oulrf be mado to
start things going at once. While
this venture is yet in the speculation
stage,, just as many of the other oil
fields were when they were started,
yet the community had no cause to
fear any risk. Should oil be found .
it would be profitable to both, the
community and to the company. On

with the outlook of the situation.
While none of the party were ex
perts in the way of picking out a
location for a test well, yet every one
was well pleased with the appear
ance of "the country in which the
wells are to be drilled.
Before leaving for Portland, Mon
day morning Mr. Mackay stated that
men who had intimate knowledge
about prospecting in the oil districts
would be sent out at once, in fact
they are already on their way here
to look over the fields and select a
spot for the first test well.
While no definite arrangements
have been made, orders have been
placed with a concern for the proper
equipment to be used, and it is thot
that drilling should commence some
time in July.
