of the legitimate living and traveling
expenses of the grower are to be paid

the trip are unusually Inviting.
THE ONTARIO GAS STRIKE.
Citizens Belfeve It Is a Bonanza, and
Propose to Find Out at Once.
BAKER CITY, Nov. 28. Tho only ef
fort thus far to find out whether there
is oil underlying any portion of Eastern
Oregon is now being made at Ontario.
Some time ago the owners of an ar
tesian well outfit made a proposition to
the citizens of Ontario to bore a well to
a depth of at least 1000 feet, which was
accepted. The funds for prosecuting
the work were raised by public subscrip
tion. David Wilson, the owner of the
townslte, was one of the most liberal
subscribers to the fund, and he was al
lowed to locate the well. Ho selected a
spot In the street not far from the
Ontario Hotel. Mr. W. E." Lees, who
kept a careful account of the different
strata through which the drill passed,
gives out the following Information:
First, 11 feet of sand, then 12 feet of
gravel, not five feet of hardpan, then
1012 feet of blue shale. The shale had
streaks of hard flinty rock, or seemingly
condensed shale, as It resembles the shalo
In every way, except that it Is hard.
These hard streaks occurred at various
depths, and ranged in thickness from a
few inches to one and two feet. In the
shale, about 200 feet from the surface,
tho drill struck a cavity In the rock and
dropped about 14 Inches. From this
point the rock seemed to be solid, but as
a rule exceedingly soft, the drill going
down 100 feet in a day, with an occa
sional, hard spot that would require 10
minutes to an hour to cut through. I
In the drilling, a Jet of water was forced J
down inside of the drillplpe. to force
the drill cuttings to the surface and
keep the hole clear. When the cavity
mentioned was struck the water and
debris stopped coming to the surface.
This proved to be a great detriment, as
the drillers were unable to determine
what kind of ground they wore going
through. To remedy this defect the nolo
was reamed out from the surface down
to the point where the cavity was en
countered and several feet below, so that
a steel casing pipe could be put down.
The drilling had to be suspended because
the casing had not arrived. Just as soon
as It comes, the work will be resumed.
It was just before teh drilling ceased
that gas was encountered, at a depth
of 1040 feet. It Is not a very strong
flow, but It Is powerful enough to force
Its way up through over 800 feet of water
and dirt, which fell Into the hole when
the top part was reamed out, and furnish
gas enough to keep an ordinary gas burn
er burning night and day. The pressure
Is gradually Increasing. The gas smells
just like coal gas and exports say the
shale formation Is a strong Indication of
coal, and It Is predicted that coal will be
encountered before the drill sinks much
deeper.
The citizens of Ontario have made ar
rangements to sink the well 2000 feet.
If necessary, and they confidently ex
pect to find something of Interest beforp
they go much deeper. If they do pot
find oil, coal or gas they will have dem
onstrated that neither of those sub
stances are to be found in that particu
lar locality.

JUDGE MILLARD T. HARTSON.
BPOKANE. Nov. 28. A special to
the Spokesman-Review from Wash
ington announces that Judge Millard
T. Hartson has been selected' by
Representative Jones as Postmaster
Temple's successor In this city. The
announcement ivas made today by
Mr. Jones himself.
Postmaster Temple declared to
night that if his friends would back
him up he would carry the fight be
fore the President and the Postmaster-General.

belle that the Presidents well
known civil service views would be
an important factor In the fight,
and that they would cause his fight
for reappointment t6 be regarded
with favor.

ple's fi lends that additional Indorse
ments would be forwarded without

Quang Louey, a cigar dealer, and Suey
Buck were shot and killed In their rooms
on Clay street. It has not yet been de
termined whether there Is any connec
tion between the two events. Consid
erable mystery surrounds the shooting.
The most generally accepted theory is
that they were done by highbinders.
IRON- AND STEEL.
Volume of Business Is Greatest In
History of the Country.
NEW YORK. Nov. 2S. Discussing the
present condition of iron and steel, the
Iron Age says that nothing has occurred
to Indicate any danger of an early sub
sidence of the great activity which char
aterlzes the Iron and steel trades. Not
only are more Iron and steel now being
made and consumed In the United States
than at any previous time in the history
of this or any other country, but mem
bers of the trade are beginning to proph
esy a still larger business the coming
year. Tne full capacity of the blast fur
naces and steel works completed and in
process of erection seems to be especially
needed to meet the requirements of the
country for the greater part of the first
six months of 1D02. This Is as far as or
dinary human foresight can carry prog
nostications as to business.
It is seldom that indications for an ap
proaching year point so strongly to heavy
trade as at the present time. Many
branches of business report an unusual
number of Inquiries now coming up rela
tive to material for projected improve
ments. It might bo assumed, in view of
the occurrences of tho past two years
that the expansion In the American Iron
trade had reached Its culmination, bui
so far no evidence can be seen pointing
to such a conclusion.
An active condition of business continues
in iron and stocks. The furnace com
panies arc handling their business con
servatively, and while they have mace
some slight adyanccs, are disposed to dis
courage anything which might lead to
speculation. More business has been done
In foreign billets for Importation.
While manufacturing establishments are
trying to. break records In endeavoring
to meet the demands of the trade, they
are harassed by the exasperating occur
rences which Interfere with satisfactory
operations. The coke situation has not
improved as it should have done by this
time and blast furnaces are still being
crippled by inability to spcure fuel, a
rather critical condition, so far Is being
reported from Chicago, where four fur
naces are idle on this account, just when
their production is greatly needed.
The steel situation Is attracting a great
deal of Interest. Rolling mills on one side"
and the dealers on the other appear to
be arranging their forces for contests, and
both parties are endeavoring to control
the trade In their several interests. The
situation is shrouded in mystery, but It
la expected that developments will short
ly be made, as the result of meetings
which are taking place.
WILL WORK IN HARMONY.
Mexican Governor Surrenders a Man
Wanted for Murder at Yuma.
PHOENIX, Arls., Nov. 28. Over a
month ago Governor Murphy Issued a
requisition on Governor Rafael Ysabel.
of Sonora, for the extradition of GuIHcrrra

partment. Ysabel was then Instructed to

from Governor Ysabal that he had been,
directed to surrender the prisoner, de
claring a willingness to work in harmony
with the American border states for the
punishment of criminals.

INDIANA POLITICS LIVELY.
A Clash Bet-ween the Two Senators
Possible.
Special to tho Now York Evening Po3t.
WASHINGTON. A merry political war
Is brewing In Indiana. One Fairbanks and
one Beverldge, Senators both, and both
honorable and ambitious gentlemen, are
likely to present the spectacle of the two
cats from Kilkenny, and the fun will
be more for the watchers than for the
actors. A new State Committee Is about
to be chosen. In days of yore It was the
wont of Senator Fiiirbanks, on such oc
casions, to call his trusty henchmen to his
back office and make up the list of the
committee as It should be. When the last
chairman was chosen to succeed Hernley
It was done that way. But now well, now
there Is an enterprising young man who
Is determined to let the Hoosler State
know that he is on the map. In the short
time Beveridge was in Washington after
his return from his trip around the world,
he spent at least seven hours at the
White House in private conference with
Its distinguished tenant. When Fairbanks
came along he cooled his heels In the
ante-room and got a handshake. This was
enough for Indiana, and the Beveridge
stock went up at least 500 per cent. Old
friends of the long, slim statesman who
was so recently Indiana's candidate for
Presidential honors, speak of him deris
ively as "Gum-shoe Charley," thus mak
ing an unseemly jest of his well-known
conservatism. His caution is stigma
tized as timidity; his reluctance to talk
Is set down to lack of anything to say:
his affability Is uncharitably denominated
"smoothness." Thus do the unfeeling den
izens of a graceless state traduce one of
Its most gifted eons.
People will have their own opinions a3
to the true reasons for the growing cool
ness between Fairbanks and Beveridge.
Some will say It Is their antipathetic tem
peraments, others will attribute it to po
litical Jealousy. One story has It that
Beveridge is already grooming himself
for the Vlce-PresIdcntlal nomination In
1SKH on the Roosevelt ticket, and Is pre
paring to dsiiver the delegates repaired
to make his title clear. Meanwhile Fair
banks appears not to have abandoned hl
hopes of runnlns for President in that
year an obvious clash of interests. The
organizers of the Fairbanks boom assume
that ero long the present administration
will go to pieces through the tendency or
its chief figure to become more strenu
ous than discreet. They would like to see
him stir up enemies for himself and do
things which the public will disapprove.
Then, they fljrure. It will ho th tnm r
the wise, conservative, cautious senior
Senator from Indiana to come tn tho
rescue of tho country. Un the ruins of
Roosevelt thrv hniw tn Viim ,m v rn
tunes of Fairbanks;
An interesting report has reached Wash
ington that Mr. New, the Republican Na
tional committeeman from Indiana, is on
the vergo of an open break with Fair
banks. The trouble la partly due to pat
ronage and partly to other things. But
there is no doubt that something hitches.
New did not help blow the Fairbanks bub
ble as heartily as be might, and those on
the Inside will not forget how he tried to
prick It by premature exposure In a
newspaper Interview given out In Chica
go, much to the distress of the cautious
Senator.
So look out for amusing news from In
diana. CREED REVISION.
Preliminary Work Begun By a Sec
tion of Presbyterian Committee.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The prelim
inary work of revising the creed of the
Presbyterian church, an a n r,nL-
kmore popularly understood, was begun
" wuay ai a meeting of a section of
the committee of 20 appointed at the last
Presbyterian Assembly to accomplish
this result. The section that met today
spent several hours In discussion, but
no action was taken. Rev. Dr. Her
rlck Johnson, of Chicago, presided and
the other members who participated
were Rev. Doctors MInton, of San Fran
cisco, and Spechcr, of Cleveland, and Jus
tice Harlan, of the United States Su
preme Court. A form of statement to
replace the one now In use was submit
ted and other forms will likely be sub
mitted. The object is to secure a formal
expression of doctrine that will be more
definite and convey to the laymen a clear
er subject than the present declaration.
No vital changes were contemplated In
today's discussion, but It may be a dif
ferent mode of expression was aimed at.
It was recognized that the 250 years that
have elapsed since the adoption of the
present statement of doctrine has made
some differences in the conception of the
authorities. There was some discussion
as to the incorporation of a statement
regarding the personality of Ood, but
this proposition is still a tentative one.
Tho section will hold another session to
morrow and will meet dally until Wed
nesday, when the full commission will
convene with a view to taking final
action.
Whether the deliberations of the full
committee will occupy a week or a num
ber of weeks Is still conjectural.
Two other sections of tho committee
will meet contemporaneously with the
full body and will frame a proposition
for action by that body. One of these
will draft new chapters on the Holy
Spirit and on the love of God, and the
other will make a slight revision of the
confession of faith with reference to the
elect Infant declaration. It Is felt that
the present statement on this point Im
plies that any infant dying in Infancy
is "lost" from the standpoint of the
religious future state, and the creed to be
adopted will make It clear that the Pres
byterian Church does not hold the belief
that those who die. In Infancy are lost.
This change will be effected probably by
a specific declaratory statement, though
possibly by amending tho present text.
WHAT POPULISM WANTS.
Correspondent Says Xot Free Silver,
but Public Ownership.
SALEM, Nov. 27. (To the Editor.)
The Oregonian asserts that Populism Is
dying out, and describes Populism as a I
belief in Government lending money on
warehouse assets, and the expansion of
the currency through free coinage of sil
ver and unlimited Issue of paper money.
The editor speaks as if this were the
bottom thing in Populism, while the fact
Is, money was a minor subject brought
to the front by the pressure of these in
terested in the advancement of gold.
Populism Is conservative socialism. The
socialists demand the collective owner
ship of all the means of subsistence.
This would leave no place for money.
Tho Populist would have money, but
the bedrock principle Is public owner
ship. Being conservative. Populism has
named those utilities that can be most
conveniently moved against the railroads

Business as -well as social life of today is one of strain and effort, and the
straggle for existence in competition makes life a fight day" in day out, in which
care of body, nerves, blood is more or less neglected. Men wonder what's
wrong with them. No man can stand such unnatural conditions unless he
counteracts them by using Casearets Candy Cathartic, causing regularity of

Casearets, find out what's wrong and be cured.

Chicago Tribune.
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, sayo he is
opposed to revising the tarifr at this time
While admitting that there doubtless arj
some Instances In which the duties should
be lowered or entirely taken off, he a
that In his judgment "nothing Cor.grc-: s
could do would tend so strongly n d.?
couragc business affairs and to intrrcro
with the good business condition nav.- i.r.
valllng throughout tho country" s
take up the tariff and try to mend It. Th'j
Is precisely what business men think auu
what the Tribune has said. The Iefi.c'.j
of the tariff are less harmful than an. at
tempt to remove them would he. If tns ;
subject were once taken up for the ex
clusive purpose of improving tho iron ard
steel schedule, Industries Interested In
other schedules would Insist that some
thing be done for them. The leather mar
ufacturers would like to see hids put un
the free list. The woolen manufacturer.;
would like to see the duties on wool low
ered. The owners of American sheep
would like to see these duties raised ar.it
would demand that this be done if tho
tariff were to bo overhauled. The ?ugar
trust, which Is always active an 1 Int.u
ential when tariff legislation Is being con
sidered, would work the wires to ge tho
duty taken off raw sugar and the easily
collected revenues given up. If Congress,
governed by the spirit of evil, should
take up the tariff question there wouiil
be lobbying for higher duties here and
lower duties there, and manufacturers and
Importers would have to stand and mark
time till they knew what the outcome of
the turmoil and the strife was to be. To
attempt to revise the tariff Is to put the
brake on the wheels of the chariot of pros
perity. Supreme Power of the Emotions.
Sydney Smith.
The history of the world shows us that
men are not to be counted by their num
bers, but by the Are and vigor of their
passions: by their deep sense of injury,
by their memory of past glory; ty
thelr eagerness for fresh fame; by their
clear and steady resolution of either cccc
lng to live, or of achieving a particular
object, which, when it Is once formed,
strikes off a load of manacles and chains,
and gives free space to all heavenly ana
heroic feelings. All great and extraor
dinary actions come from tha hear There
are seasons In human affairs when qual
ities fit enough to conduct the common
business of life are feeble and flseless,
when men must trust to emotion for that
safety which reason at such ilmes can
never give. These are the feelings which
led the 10,000 over the Carduchlan Moun
tains; those are the feelings by which a
handful of Greeks broke In pieces the
power of Persia; and in the fens of tho
Dutch and In the mountains of the Swiss
these feelings defended happiness and re
venged the oppressions of man!
"We don't want any more deposits," Is tha
sign an Inman, Kan., bank ha posted on its
front door. The owners say they have more
money now than they can place, and they
don't care to run the risk of keeping a lot
more money which they can't make earn them
something.
Every woman covets a
shapely, pretty figure, and
many of them deplore the
loss of theifcgirlish forms
after marriage. The bearing
of children is often destructive
to the mother's shapeliness.
