DULL FOR OIL
M
Eastern- Men Lease 1,500
Acres and Will Sink Holes
Soon.
SALEM, Ore., Oct. 21. Fifteen
hundred acres of land wero leased at
a meeting of Pratum farmers to C.
W. Taylor and V. A. Leet, two east
ern capitalists and oil men, recently
located at Portland. These men
promise to thoroughly investigate oil
conditions in the Willametto Valley
and are confident that in the next CO
' days they will make a monster oil
strike.
Messrs. Taylor and Leet promise
that within a week or so they will
build a 72-foot derlck and place a
Standard California drill rig. This
will ho tho largest that can bo built.
Most of tho machinery is said to bo
in Portland at the present time.
They will start with a hole 14
Inches in diameter and drill to a
depth of 1,000 or 1,500 feet. They
hopo to complete tho work within
30 or 60 days. Their intention Is to
drill in five different places to ade
quately cover tho large tract of land
and they are confident that oil .will
bo struck.
BAD STAMPS DON'T GO.
Government Will Refuse to Recognize
Mutilated Ones.
A 'now order in the postofllce de
partment went into effect recently.
By Ita torms defaced stamps hero
after are worthless. Should a cor
ner be torn off, no matter how small
or the stamp bo mutilated in any
way it cannot longer be used. Ail
letters bearing such stamps will he
held at tlio postofllce two weeks for
recqvery, and at tho end of that
time, If not claimed, will be sent to
tho dead letter office.
Another phase of the order is also
Interesting, Permission is now given
Individuals to perforate the stamp
with a- reasonably small Instrument
for identification purposes. Such a
step Is Intended to prevent the send
ing of anonymous letters, or the
theft or mutilation of private mail
of any nature.
SCRAJIBLE TO TICK APrLES.
Fruit Foiling Ilnilly. nt Hood River,
Due to Frost.
HOOD RIVER, Ore., Oct. 20.
Tho fact that hundreds of apples are
dropping from tho trees here, some
thing never before known at this
Mmr. nt vesir. is creatine a wholesale
scramble in tho valley to get them'
picked. Every available man, wom
an and child Is being pressed into
seivlco to keep the fruit from falling
to the ground and possibly being
bruised.
The cause of the great dropping of
winter apples Is said to be due to the
killing heavy frost which came re
cently at the earliest date ever
known at Hood River.
Tho first car of winter apples ship
ped out this year by tho union was
sent east today. Its destination Is
Now York.
OREGON'S "WEB FOOTS"
The name "Web-foot" for Ore
gonians is not far amiss. It is pa
tent to the most unobserving that
rains are about as welcome to tho
people of this section as they are to
tho ducks, geese and frogs. No rains
worth mentioning fell during Sep
tember, and not until the middle
week in October did the real article
appear on the weather calendar. In
consequence of tho delay, we have
been a glum, crabbed and rather des
pondent people ,but with the begin
ning of the rains this week, these
conditions gave place to cheerfulness,
hopo and happiness, and everyone,
from baby to grandparent, has taken
pleasure in getting out and absorb
ing a share of the generous moisture.

ROOSEVELT HOT SHOT.
On Ilnilcell.
Governor Haskell's utter unfit
ness for any public position of
trust or for association with any
man anxious to niako an appeal
on n moral Issuo to tho American
peoplo has been nbuudantly
shown.
As nn American citizen who
prizes his Americanism and cltl
ecnBhlp far above any question
of partisanship, I regard it as a
Bcandal and dlsgraco that Gov
eruor Haskell should bo connect
ed with the mauugemont of a na
tional campaign.
To Ilrjan.
In my Judgment tlie mensures
you advocate would be wholly In
effective In curing an evil, and
so far as they had any effect at
all would merely throw tho cntjro
business of tho country into hope
less and utter confusion.
I put Mr. Taft's deeds ngalnst
your words. I ask that Mr. Tnft
bo Judged by all his deeds, for he
wishes none of them forgotten. I
aBk that you bo Judged both by
tho words you wish remembered
and by the words that seemingly
you and your party now desire, to
have forgotten.

A CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
Each recurring attack of rheuma
tism makes the disease harder to
control, but tho fact that it is not
In Itself dangerous causes people to
neglect it, awaiting a change or a
settled condition of the weather for
relief. It Is often only after tho dis
ease has become so serious as to In
terfere with business that tho suf
ferer will seek more than temporary
relief. Chamberlain's Liniment is a
remedy for rheumatism which any
one can apply. It not only gives
prompt relief from pain, but In a
large majority of cases it brings
about permanent results. The first
application will surprise and delight
you as Immediate relief is almost
sure to follow. For sale by JOHN
PREUSS.
