Two Ranges in One Burns Wood or Coal With Gas 'S IENNING' Lower Columbia District Has Great Latent Possibilities. W ashingion at Fifth n HIGH GRADE NEAR ILWACO ledge of Limestone on Farm in Pa cific County, Washington, Satur ated With Paraffin, Petroleum. ASTORIA, Or, May 31. (Special.) The lower Columbia river district is noted far and wide for its many nit ural resources, some of which, have been partially developed while others are lying latent. ot the least valu able of the latter in an industrial eense are the supposed reservoirs of oil and ga.3 thought to underlie this entire sec tlon. the one question remaining to be solved bing their discovery in deposits of paying: quantities. Most paying: oil fields have been dis covered by the finding of leaks, which in districts like California are sur rounded by a residue of black asphalt. There are numerous oil leaks in the section bordering on the lower Colum bia river, but they are not so easily des eernible because the oil here is lighter in color, quickly evaporates and leaves no discoloring: substance behind. Lanreat Leak In Pacific County. The largest and most pronounced petroleum leak in this district is on the Howkan farm in Pacific county, "Washington, Just four miles north of Ilwaco. near Chinook, and within 1000 feet of the county highway leading to Wlllapa bay. The leak Is a ledge of limestone that is fairly saturated with paraffin petroleum, the highest grade oil known to the world and worth in the open markets from four to five times as much par barrel as is the asphalt! c petroleum of California. The ground in the immediate vicinity gives out a etrong odor of kerosene and when heated bursts into flames, while the pools of water glisten with oil. The combination of the oil with the limestone has formed a soapy sub stance that when treated in a retort or by the gasoline process produces a liberal percentage of oil that tests have shown to be a paraffin petroleum f the highest specific gravity. Oil Odor Noticeable. The oil odor so noticeable at the How;kan farm is no more pronounced than that noticed by loggers and hunt ers in the forests both north and south of the river, but only a comparatively few of the leaks have been discovered and reported because the oil is so vola tile that it evaporates quickly and leaves no trace, excepting at points where It comes in contact with a lime- stone formation, becomes emulsified and is therefore retained. The investigations thus far con ducted indicate very strongly that the oil which underlies this section carries in its base what is known as Nehalem beeswax. The wax unearthed at the liowkan farm is similar in texture. but several shades lighter in color, than the wax deposits found at Nehalem, which a legendary tale de scribed as the cargo of an old mission ship wrecked there hundreds of years ago, but which science has proved to be a deposit of ozocerite or mineral wax. Only Two Attempts Made. Only two real attempts have been made to tap the oil reservoirs of this district. Both met with disaster as the result of unforeseen obstacles, but in each case traces of oil were found. The first one was on the Nelson place at Keep River, where a well was drilled a few hundred feet with every indication of a successful- outcome, when work was suddenly suspended for lack of funds, resulting from the alleged de falcations of the man In charge. The other attempt was at the Bess farm on Young's river, where a well was sunk to a depth of 600 feet, right in the tide lands. This well was filled with water. Dippings made at the top, middle and the bottom of the hole gave a liberal percentage of light colored oil of the same nature as that found at the liowkan ranch. Unfortunately, at this depth the drill punctured the well casing, forcing the suspension of drill ing operations. During the past few years. 6lx ex perts have made investigations of the oil prospects here, and all but one of these reported the unquestionable pres ence of high grade petroleum and still in the face of all these, aside from the two partial attempts mentioned above, no organized effort has been made to develop a resource, which promises to provide the needed power for thousands of Industrial plans and make the entire district a teeming hive of . industrial activity.

It is understood that the chief aim of his administration will be to spread the Mormon doctrine among the different nations of the earth.
