P. L. Kretzer and Bon, L. H., weThTh 0n motin the. ?"cort3er was 'nelrncted
town today from McKay creek, where
some ten miles south of Pendleton, Uma
tilla county, they recently struck, at a
depth of 10U feet, what they believe to
be a very encouraging oil prospect. Mr.
Kretzer brought with him samples of
the mud taken from the hole at various
depths, which are strongly impregnated
with parafine. As a result of the dis
covery a campany was incorporated
here toifay to develope the prospect.
Mr. Kretzer Bays the outlook for oil on
Fifteeu Mile creek above Dufur is as
good, if not better than on McKay
creek, and that boring will be com
menced in the latter neighborhood in a
few weeks. "

No Celebration On the Fourth.
An liiillciimit CorrM)oiulent.
Tin: Dam.ks, June 4, 1001.
To Tin: Enrion:
I noticed in last night's Chronicle
your sarcastic, but most righteous re
mark on tho recent acquittal of Ex
Postm ister Hiddell in thu United States
circuit court at Portland. Now let mo
ask you, Mr. Chroniclo, why a some
what similar case, still nearer home, has
escaped the criticism of your trenchant
pen? Does the fact that Judge Hrad-
sliaw is a neighbor, and perhaps a friend, j
estop you from denouncing us it ought
to be denounced his action at the recent
term of circuit court in turning louse, on
a paltry iflSOO-hond, Ike Moore, a man
who had lain in jail for nearly three
months in default of $1000 lunula, for
being caught, red-handed, in a theft of
1000 pounds of brass cat-tings from the
O. II. & X. Co,, when at tho same term
of court a poor devil of a waiter, or some
thing of that kind, was placed under a
a $.r)0Q-bond for stealing .fl.ti'i worth of
cigars from a Hood River hotel? '
Mark my words, Mr, Chronicle, Ike
Moore will never miller a minute's pun
ishment fur his crime, He has a pull, and
no man with the proper pull need sutler
for any crime he may commit in Wasco
county. iMWi.vi.NT.

The Dalles will not celebrate on the
coming Fourth after all. This much
woe decided last night at a meeting of
the Driving Association, and when the
reasons for this action are understood
the general opinion will be that the
association m acted wisely. Let it be
distinctly understood that this conclus
ion was not influenced by any lack of
funds for a fitting celebration. Tho
business men of the city subscribed
liberally ami there was plenty of money
in sight, but the soliciting committees
were again and again reminded that a
liberal contribution to a 4th of July
celebration meant less for the district
fair that will be held here in the fall,
and less for another street fair that
everybody seems to desire.
Now the dihtrict fair, with lit f loOO of
state money in premiums, mutt lie pio
videil for, and provided for in a manner
that at leant Mill not li?erace the town.
Tho grounds on the Catholic mission
have been obtained for this very pur
pose, Hut these grounds, to make them
av-Ulablo for the purpose must bo fenced,
s'teds for stabling purposes must bo
built and a grand stand erected. All
this costs money and tho business men
are perfectly willing to subscribe liberal
ly, but they naturally object to being
tapped too often. In a wotd, tho fair
must lie provided for nnd in connection
with it a street carnival similar to the
one we had last year.
The expense of a proper celebration on
tho Fourth would entrench on tho sub
scriptions to the fairs, and as we must
have the fairs and can do without tho
celebration, the Driving Association
wisely concluded that it waa best to de
vote all our energltin to that which will
give thu best material returns,
