XjP. m ilium ....jjj ' y,yjPii.uu Not too long QfJOj within the memory of living men, explora tion for new petroleum deposits here in the West was a matter of discovering oil seeps or drilling on "hunch." But even hunches had a reasonable chance of success. Although methods were primitive, the early Western fields were brought into production at a cost which nowadays would seem extremely low. Liberty Street Trench Part Of Wiring Job Wiring for new mercury vapor street lights on downtown Liberty Street is now in progress. Com pletion of the latest downtown lighting improvement will require several weeks. The 32-foot standards, each with two lights, were placed some time ago, five to the block. City workmen are trenching along the street to make way for the wiring, block by block. Re mainder of the work is done by Walton - Brown Electric, under contract to Portland General El ectric. Cost of the lighting is fig ured over a period of years in the city's annual street lighting costs, now in excess of $50,000. The current work will see the new lights along Liberty from Trade to Center Streets and in the High-to-Liberty Street blocks of Chemeketa, Court and State Streets. Similar lighting improve ment was completed last year along Commercial Street. City Manager J. L. Franzen said the present light posts, when re placed, would be stored by the city against a possible future use in city parks. Franzen and Fred G. Starrett, PGE district manager, said the work now going on is planned so that the wiring trench can be filled and normal traffic restored as soon as possible. The new lights are several times brighter than the old type and are less expensive to operate and main tain, Franzen said. Gresham Farm Worker Held Leroy T. Leach, 31, farm worker from Gresham, was held to answer to Marion County grand jury Tues day after a hearing before Stayton Justice of the Peace Walter H. Bell on charges of threatening a man's life.
