Sam White, who will do tho Moses act for the democratic hosts of the First District, passed through Pen dleton lately from Baker Cltr. Mr. White, as chairman of the state central committee and of the execu tlvo committee of tho district, will lead the hosts In person. Ho In tended to open tho campaign tw weeks ago but was prevented from do ing so by sickness of one of his children. "My headquarters will bo at Ku Bene," said he, "but every Sunday I shall go to Portland." Asked whether democrats would elect Koames, Mr. White respoiiu "To bo sure they will. It will take lots of work, but wo shall do it auu wo'ro not afraid of work. We offer a bright clean young man to tho citi zens of tho district, a natlvo son of Oregon and a man who is not a pro fessional politician." "Will you pitch Into Hermann on his land ofllco record?" was nsked. "Our plans," was the response, "are not yet complete, nor have we yet gathered all our campaign material. Hut when wo got It nnd dish it out to tho voters or tho district you will find It very Interesting, very Inter cstlug, Indeed. I'm not boasting bo cause that's a luxury I don't indulge in. I'm giving you straight goods." Hermann neonle hopo that Roose velt, when he visits Oregon, will say something that will help out their candidate. Politicians all agree, both republican and democratic, that, should Roosevelt say Hermann was "all right" with the administration, the ex-land commissioner would not have to worry a hair of his head about his election. Certain republican newspapers arc laying at the dnor of Secretary Hitch cock the blame for Hermann's dis missal. Hermann's personal organs are saying this, and It :s a favorite argument with his supportois. 17em ocrats promise to tako the matter be fore Hitchcock himself, and to learn tho precise truth. They say that they may ascertain whether tho president dismissed Hermann because Hermann was In harmony with tho executive or whether Hitchcock ousted Her mann because he himself was In har mony with the executive. Tho cam paign arguments against Hermann promise to bo founded on bis record as land commissioner. Tho long serv ice at Washington ,his familiarity with tho heads of tho national gov ernment, nnd his steady record as a republican standard-bearer. Smokers' supplies at Ncuman's.

There are no bonds, no preferred stock, no debts. Oar Field, Its Location and Indications Right here on the banks of the- Columbia River in Eastern Washington and Oregon,. where thousand of acres of sagebrush and bunch grass lands are awaiting human energy for development, a,, discovery of gas has been made less than a year ago. ' In a dozen places in the vicinity of Alder Creek, Washington, and Castle Rock, Oregon, illumating gas ha? been escaping for years through the surface soil. The gas can be burned for hours. Only recently some of the gas coming through the surface soil has been confined in-large tanks and con veyed by pipe lines to several cabins, where it is being used for fuel as well' as light. Surely no other oil field has displayed such excellent indications, Oil experts have thoroughly examined the ground and pronounced the prospect very good. We intend to di ill 2000 feet if necessary but from all indications abdut 1000 feet will be sufficient depth. All money obtained will be used for de veloping purposes, purchasing of additional machinery and other necessary expenses. No expensive salaried officials arc attached to this organization. It is strictly a home company organized by home capital, A limited amount of stock has been placed on .the market at ten (10) cents per share. , . If this property develops into a gusher or even into a moderate producer it will mean not.only a big profit to .investors at present prices of stock but it will mean muchto this section. It will bring money into Umatilla fount v. 1. ' , ... . i Arid lands, which at the present time produce very scant crops, could be irrigated and thereby increase their product tenfoid by having water pumped from the Columbia river with the help of gas and oil for fuel. Think of the vast benefits to this region. The test of oil as a steam-producing fuel was made years ago; it is noth ing new; its value has been well established, and the only thing needed to bring it into universal use was the dis covery of an inexhaustible supply. Oil fires a boiler three and one-half times quicker than coal; has a greater efficiency and cleanliness; requires less room and is far cheaper. Railroads, steamships and manufacturers, commerce of every description finds greater saving pos sible by the use of fuel oil, Active Operations One of the largest, modern standard drilling rigs has beenput into operation near the Washington side of the Columbia river. Our Drillers Our drillers are old experienced men at the business, and if there is any possible way of getting results, we are positive that they will accomplish such. It is the univeral opinion that the surface indications compare favorably with any of the gas and oil fields in the United States. Several experts who have investigated the discovery make this report. General Manager on the Field Ross Beardslcy, our efficient Vice-President, and one of the first discoverers of the gas, is in charge of the company's interests on tne drilling ground. A mort en thusiastic and earnest worker, tully alive to the interests of all the stockholders, could not be found anywhere. Fortunes in Oil The wealth made and to be made in the production and marketing of oil is likewise so apparent that it is almost needless to recite the figures and comparison No other proposition -has ever supplied such riches. as have oil wells for the amount of time and money invested in them. Oil is so easily handlediafter a well is secured and so short a time is heeded before results can be obtained, that it is the quickest dividend bearer The Standard Oil Company in 1897, 1898, 1899, 1900, 1901 and the first part of 1902, have paid $202,000,000 in dividends.
