"On account of the flno flow of oil in tho Eastern Oregon, wo havo decied to go no deeper for tlio present," said Mr. Davidson, "but will Install a pumping plant anud draw off tho wa ter. Then wo can measure tho oxact flow of oil in tho well. That wo havo oil In n number of the Valo wells then- Is no doubt, and every Indication points to a commercial flow in several of tho deeper wells in that district." Woodburn-Sprlngfiold Line Soon.
