Will Begin Operations A contract has Just been signed by tho Kastorn Oregon Oil & Gas com pany for drilling on tholr property In tho Malheur district, and Interesting developments may bo looked for later. As much Interest Is evinced over tho developments ot tho Mainour nil fields, in which n numbor of our cltlzons aro Interested, wo publish a continuation of tho artlclo wrltton by prominent wrltor who mado a ro cont trip to tho field: Another expert report' on this prop erty I. that of D. M. Watson, of Port land, Ore., a man whoso caroor In oil finding has been nothing loss than phouomeual slnco ho has not mado single mistake In locating oil In tho past flvo years, nor during that tlmo has oil been discovered at any point where ho advised against bor Ing. Tho substance of his report la ib follows: " On Nov. 11, 1908, I examined about 10 sections of your minora! claims. I urn ghid to say that I found a most flattering condition. The oil sand runs from southeast to northwest and cover, tho bulk of your lands underlaid with an oil sand that runs from north to south and la not so rich but will yield good wells In most places. The best sand will bo found from 500 to 700 foot from surface, Tho next sand will be found from 500 feet to 1100 foot and will yield good wells. I am glad to .ay you havo most gratifying pros pects for a big oil field," Bearing evidence to Mr. Watson's almost supernatural powers In find ing oil pools, Mr. Joo Park, Broker Parkesburg, W. Va., writes In elis or to a query thus. "Mr. Watson knew more about our field aftor bolng there 21 hours than somo of tho operators who havo been and are now producing oil, havo learned In several years, and moro than I had learned about tho field In 20 years." Slnco both the Malheur and East ern Oregon properties are in tho artesian water belt It is the Inten sion of both companies to locate a trlng of flowing wells for three miles on the southern slope of their oil fields, and such well, would watoi 12000 acres of tho level valley land beneath them, convert this Immense area Into a model townslte and tribu tary neighborhood of orchard and farm homes, and tho enhancement in realty values because of these wells Is almost Inconceivable. The 4000 acres of Eastern Oregon Oil and Gas Co. will fare equally well with and (Ins Co. In this respect, as each will huvo Its own artesian Irrigation system. It. W. lCamcn, tho oil ground X' pert, previously quoted, suys In pr.rt: A prospect well has been di tiled In each quarter section of our land, In which satisfactory dis .ovorlca of oil uud gas havo been nado. Theso wells reveal tho samu inderlylng formation found 011 tho idjolnlng territory of the Mammoth Jo.', proporty, where deeper erosions .iavo exposed both fosslliforou. and yolrollfocous sand stones containing jnrafflno nnd oil that can bo obtained! by boiling tho rock In hot water.: This samu formation gives off u itroug gus odor when freshly broken,1 and Is qulto analogous to somo of, tho formations found In our most productive oil and gas fields, Sev eral springs In tho noar vicinity show oil seepage, while gas can bo de tected escaping In numerous places. Taking nil tho evidence Into con sideration It Is tho candid opinion of tho writer that the production of oil und gus In commercial quantities on1 your proporty Is only a matter of drilling. In conclusion, tho writer wishes to lay particular stress up-! on at loast two of tho jiatural ad-1 vantages which would tend to mnko your holdings most doslrablo, namely, the closo proximity to tho railroad at Valu and tho Ideal condition, for u gravity plpo Hue to tho samo. Truo thoro Is an element of chnnco In buying stock In these oil com panies, but the chance for prodigious profit aro bo manifest that the most prudent and cautious can woll afford to snip off a good piece from tholr rainy-day nest egg and Invost I11 their btocks. Evangelical Conference Happy Coincidence She" Do you romombor how I used to walk all over Portland try ing to find a hat that would pleaso mo, and you would come home to a poor supper and an unpleasant ovonlng?" Ho "Yes; but you never seem worried or worn out now, and wo have such pleasant evenings," She "Oh, yes; I buy my hat. nt tho Voguo now and am atwuya pleased. Everybody admires tho Vogue hats." A cow mistook the hand of Stan ley Voorhecs, a young lad living noar Vancouver, for an apple, and before the boy could Jerk hla band from tho cow's mouth a thumb and ono finger had beon mashed to a pulp. The boy at tho time was trying to the 8,000 acres of tho Mammoth Oil drlvo tho cow from a box of apple., The 15th annual conference of tho United Evungullcal church of tho Oregon Conference convened In tho St. Johns church 011 April 1, 1909, a' 9 n. 111.

Fred Mullor, secretary of tho Portland Hoard of Trado, has tho matter In charge.

It is known, however, thnt there has been somo movement nround Glen Hnrbor, and the lending grain firm, ot tho city are Inclined to view Glen Harbor us tho pros pective alto of tho elevator. It Is stilted that borltiKS havo boon mado In that locality und that tho ilto would bo eminently suitable. Mr. .Mullor said yesterday that tho land had beeu bought and thnt nil tho boring necessary had boon done. At present ho was engaged In mnklnir arrangements for railroad connoctloni In order that this yoar's uraln enm might bo adequately handled. Mr. Mullor leaves for tho East Sat urday, where ho will finally Blgn up tho funds required for tho building operations. Ho Htnted that construc tion would begin Immediately nflur his return towurdu tho end of tho month.
